INDEED SOME PLAYWRIGHT
Sam Cahen, Fiery Ex-Soldier of Algiers'Falls Off
Paint Bridge Hollering "Hola, Ohe" as the
Farce Is Born.
j After year* of effort devoted to the
sorlou? In literature, the great Froncii
poet and dramatist, Otis Mollere Al
trlend. has turned his facile and brll
, llont pen to comedy.
This announcement in itself Is sutll
I clent to create Intense Interest loth
in literary and lu dramatic circles, but
I schon it became known at a strl-'tiy ]
! private rch.-arsal last night at the
Academy of .Music that the marvelous
! frenchman intends to appear us tiin
star* in his own brain-child, wonder
[grew into astonishment. So great an
'event In the life of tho one rival of
t.io hitherto unequaled Rostand awoke
such enthusiasm in the breast of Mon?
sieur Alfricnd's compatriot and fellow- i
artist, Monsieur Ham Cahon, that the |
liory ex-soldier of Algiers leaped from
the paint bridge, where ha was t>u?.ly
employed In decorating a scene f (r
Honey Boy Hotrhklss's Helnou? Min?
strels, and bounding upon the stage,
tossed his cap Into the air. shouting.
"Hola. ohe, Otisalma pour toujours!
Vive the mun of Tuesday! A bas Ros?
tand, un low brow!" and bursting Into
the glorious "Marseillaise." with open
arms rushed toward the blushing an
thor, who ducked behind <>ne ol the j
young Voltnllies who had been hr.ling |
the Spanish dance In high places.
Alter quiet had been restored, M. |
Alfriend modestly announced t" the
awe-stricken few who were Privileg, .1
to be present that he had succeeded inj
engaging what he helievjd to lie the j
ablest cast that could he secured in
the entire French colony, and that Its
members had become Imbued with the
spirit, the underlying motif, and tho
truo teachings of his play In n manner
".hat ho ventured to say no other au
thor-actor-m.innger had ever been
able to Insplrr lit n company. It was
Wue, he said, that he had spared no
expense In engaging his artists, but
oven tho most colossal saln.rles were
often powerless to command the In?
spiration, tne exaltation and the tem?
peramental enthusiasm whlrli every
member of his company had displayed
during- tho frequent rehearsals which
had been held throughout the winter.
Whon tho artists entered It wus ?ecn
at unco that the playwright had not
exaggerated tho importance of his
cast. At the request of XI. Alfrlond.
the names of the two young and beau?
tiful actresses who assist tho succes?
sor to Coquelln are withhold for tne
present, but M. Alfrlond hits released
for publication the list of well-known
actors who have achieved the distinc?
tion of being associated with the first
presentation of his latest work.
.Messieurs Alvlii M. Smith and Jamee
Wheat are so well established in their
profession as sterling actors of straignt
parts that the mere mention of their
names is suiltclent to guarantee the
success of any roles intrusted to them,
but. not contont with these, fine old
actors, M. Alfrlond has secured, by
special arrangement with Max ltubo
moff, Hie celebrated Kusslan female
impersonator, M. H. Godwin IJoykin.
whose pantomimic art stands alone for
its consistency und (beauty of expres?
sion, and, finally, M. Holt Page, for?
merly of the Norfolk expatriates, but
long sinco recovered and now gracing
the Gallic stage of Richmond with mi
oust nud perfection of art that can be
acquired only where tho language Is
spoken in all Its Breton purity.
Of the play itself, professional elhlrs
forbid any account. It Is permitted to
say only that it treats lightly, yet
with tho utmost dignity, of an incident
of international Importance?the theft
of the wondrous "Mona Lisa" from the
Louvre. For himBclf. M. Alfrlend has
written a part thai will display all tho
delicitto intricate art of the most
polished school of French actors, pre?
senting an Ingenious and breathless
blend of Vldocq, Arsene Lupin and
Louis Werner.
The play will be given Its premlore
on February 6. when It Is expected that
a largo delegation from the French
embassy will occupy boxes In honor of
lb-Mr world-famed fellow-countryman.

"It was a mistake that the Clark;
men would not accept the Stephens 1

that tho one who received the larger |

Itrul Indian Show.
Coming direct from Washington,'
where he won u distinct triumph, ij,l
\: aid S. Curtis will uppour at the
Academy of Music this afternoon and
to-night, in Iiis wonderful picture
muslcale, "A Vanishing Race." '
Beams have been written by enthu?
siastic crUcs on tho marvels of this
combined picture and musical perform?
ance, but only nn nctual examination
of Mr. Curtis S pieturos will give an
adequate Idea of their splendor.
Kvery picture shown by Mr. Curtis,!
whether n motion picture or a colored
lantern photograph, was taken from
real life. This stutemenl seems neces?
sary, in view of the fact that the very
artistic perfection of many of Mr. Cur
tis's pictures has led many to believe
that they must huve been painted by
a consummate artist in nn Eastern stu?
dio. As a matter of fact, ull were taken
In the West, on Indian reservations, in
Indian villages, and practically every
Indian depicted was personally known
to Mr. Curtis. Even the colored photo?
graphs, which show Indian life In all
tho original colors of nature, were
taken and developed by Mr. Curtis
among the Indians. As for the music.
It has served as a model for a number
of composers who have sought to com?
pose In the 'Indian style." Unwilling;
to make a personal tour of tho West,
many of these, musicians have used
Mr. Curtis'8 original records, which, in
their original transcribed form, will
be ployed by his orchestra at the Acad?
emy to-day.
In order to give school children time
to arrive before the beginning of the
performance, the curtain will not rise,
to-day until 3:30. The night Perform?
ance begins at the usual hour.
