Kork'a ex tensively exploited musical comedy drama, "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge." which comes direct from a year's run at the Circle theater In New York and a six months" run at the ■Olympic theater In Chicago, with prac tically the same excellent cast, includ ing Harry Short, Grece Turner, Sidney do Oray, Victor Foster, Orelia Callan, | "Eleanor Sutte.r, Nelson ltiley, George Myers and Liouis Lytle. "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" is •the result of Ihe collaboration of Paul M. Potter, John T. Hall and Vincent JJryan. and Is said to correctly portray night -Ufa. In Paris as it -exists at t^io present time... ,7xl ....•■ . . • In the ten scenes or "The Queen of •the Moulin Rouge" one sees every phase of tho life of the Parisian, save that of the | horn*, and on a fete night nobody, ever thinks of his domicile. The musical comedy opens in the Acad emy Bavourette, an art school for young ■women, followed by a scene In a tele grap.h office; the first act closing In the famous Quat-z-arts, where the revelers ere a waiting: the stroke of ' midnight | for the arrival 'of the "floats" with their living models, which mark the opening of. the Quat:«-arls hall. There '1s whirlwind action in the second act, and the spectator covers ground 'at an aeroplane rate. One has a glimpse of the workings of a gambling house patronized by the haute monde and the raid on the place by the gendarmes. From this «cen« the action leapa to the most squalid quarter *of * Paris. Mont martre, where the Apaches are seated at little tables In front of the Cabaret dv Bourlre, waiting for their prey. A consistent plot Is well worked out, and with the peculiar songs and dances, which are literally reproduced, aftords a distinct novelty In musical comedy drama. The presenting company is un usually large, and the production Is said to be massive and beautiful. Lik" a'l musical productions it boaats of a "beauty" chorus, but in this particular "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" is E«id to include some stunning beauties ■who have been made features of the performance. The musical score con tains 22 numbers and Includes nu merous song hits, characteristic of the gay life in Paris. PELHAM THROWS HIS PATIENTS IN A FIT Hypnotist at the Empress Leads Interesting Program rmly and generally established is the genuineness of hypnotism that few there are at this day who will doubt the efßcacy of this modern science. Pel ham, the hypnotist-scientist who ap pears this week at the Empress, begin ning with today's matinee, is an un questioned leader in this art. Pelham Induces anesthesia by suggestion, throws Ms subjects into a state of cata lepsy and while they are under his hypnotic influence introduces some very humorous situations.

FACES AND SCENES IN THIS WEEK'S ATTRACTIONS AT THE LOCAL PLAYHOUSES ALCAZAR OFFERS WESTERN DRAMA "Salomy Jane" Is Revived and Big Scenic Production Is Assured "Salomy June," than which no pret tier tale of the Sierras was ever staged, will be the Alcazar's next offering, beginning with a Mo-.d^.y matinee. It was the title part of this play in which Evelyn Vaughan made her first big- hit as the Alcazar's leading- woman, and she will again bo seen m» fascinating heroine of Bret M idyl of the California foothills with Bertram Lytell as The Man fwhos. name Is never disclosed) and the re mainder of the company in well fitting roles. Paul Armstrong.dramatized the story of "Salomy, Jane's Kiss." and" with re markable fidelity he presents the rough types of men, women .and -'■■ children whom Harte depicted.- "In the play are preserved the - exciting ■ Incidents that begin with the* shooting of Yuba Bill and end with .Salomy's departure to wed the unnamed hero who had killed the man who ■ Insulted her. Among . the persons, introduced - are Yuba Pill himself -(Louis' Bennison), Jack -MarburyY (Will • R. - Walling\ Colonel Starbottle (Howard Hickman). Madison Clay (Burt Wesner), Larrabee (Charles Gunn). Rufe Waters (Thomas Chattertori), Red Pete (Walter Be lasco). Mrs. Heath (Adelaide Belgarde), and the Smith boy and the Heath girls, played by clever children. The central figure 13 a delicate girl, assuming strength under ; the influence of semi barbarous surroundings: and in an at mosphere-of constant danger. Salomy is quietly brave. Ingeniously resource ful, saucily independent and strikingly original. Her gentleness with the children is no less appealing than the fury of her! passion when her Innate sense of -womanly honor is offended. Miss Vaughan' makes of these. contra dictory characteristics a poetic creation of very high order. Her; scenes with The "Man are the best exhibitions of "team work" that she and Lytell ever gave at the Alcazar. Xot the least attractive feature of "Salomy Jane" is its atmosphere. All the scenes are laid in the Sierra wood lands, and. each of the four acts Intro duces a wonderfully reallstVc sylvan picture, showing the reds and browns and greens of the mountain foliage, with towering redwoods that seem to exude balsamic odor. When the play was last presented In the Alcazar the stage settings shared honors with the actors. MUSIC AT PARK BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW Special Programs Arranged by Director Charles H.

Mary Mannering will be the attraction for six nights commencing Monday night with a mati nee next Saturday. She will be seen In "A Man's World." The new role in which Miss Mannering will be seen here is that of a writer who hides her identity under the name of Frank Ware The play is told in four acts and the scenes are laid in the Bohemian circles. All the characters In the story are representatives of some branch of art. The story concerns the career of Frank Ware, who. having adopted an illegitimate child, la so Impressed with the Injustice visited upon it, that she devotes her literary talents in demand ing the same law for the man as the woman, and that woman should ex pect in man the same honor that man demands of woman. Having no clew to the father of the child, she does not spare him in her arguments. All at once Frank Ware herself be comes involved In a net of Suspicion, since the artists who are her friends are busyhodies. A tale is carried con cerning the peculiar resemblance borne by the child to a member of their community. Tn a startling manner she suddenly finds that the man she loves and has idealized and who Is the can»« of her bitter fight against men, is the father of the child. "A Man's World" is said to be a study of realism, replete with highly dramatic features, relieved with come dy, and telling an intense story. It is the most successful play in which Mary Mannering has appeared for years. The role she takes affords her notable opportunity to display the va leil phases of woman's character, when onfronted by obstacles in the conflict >f circumstances. The Shuberts, who manage Miss Mannering, have sur rounded her with a dignified support ing company. ;■•'■■•:■;. : ' -::-: AMUSEMENTS ' r ;.-:. r .■">■- DlJl^lf^irQQ theatre ° IT fV I 111 i ■•- *7S Js Kills St..
