THE RICHMOND PALLADITT3I AND SUX-TELEGRAM, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19, 1911 PAGE THREE. The Theaters Tbe theatrical and musical event of the season thus far in Richmond will bo the appearance of the Imperial liussian Court Halalaika orchestra with four Russian grand opera singers, at the Gennett on Tuesday evening, No Yember Twcnty-nrst. Of Uh recent appearance in New York the "Press" of that city says: "The Imperial Rusaian Court Balalai ka orchestra, of which W. W. Andreeff Is founder and conductor, opened its second American season in Carnegie liali last evening with a concert which drew one of the largest and moat en thusiastic audiences ever gathered there. The peculiar instrumentation of this orchestra adds a novelty to the charm of music played by an organiza tion of artltUs under a conductor dis tinguished for his ability to bring out distinct and original effects. The balalaika is a small instrument resembling the mandolin, yet having a sweeter and more sustained tone, l'layers on that Inntrument comprise the body of the orchestra. Other in struments usj .' :re the dulcemar, the goosly, the (i:i! als, a liussian drum and i ho domru, the latter having the heavy bass notes. Tile domra has a keyboard and iedal and is played with one finger and the. fool. It looks like a miniature house melodeon. In Rus sia the balalaika is played by the peasants and has about the same standing there the banjo has in this country. Andreeff, seeing the possibilities of making more of that native instrument than a mere tinkling accompaniment to a peasant's crude voice, devoted his entire time and fortune to his ideal Until he succeeded in forming his pres ent orchestra, which ho delighted the Czar he made it his court orchestra. The program last evening was long end varied, livery number was a de light." The plat is now open for reservation at th eMurray box office. MRS. FI8KE IN NEW PLAYS. Mrs. Flake and the Manhattan com pany, under the direction of Harrison Grey Fiske, began an engagement of eight weeks at the Grand Opera house. Chicago, recently. During her stay in tho latter city, which will be longer this year than usual, Mrs. Fiske will present three new plays of great in terest and importance. They are "The New Marriage" by Landon Mitchell, "Julia France" by Gertrude Atherton and "The War of Souls," by Paul Hyacinth Loyson. The first offering will be "The New Mar riage," Mr. Mitchell's latest and most brilliant comedy, which is said to sur pass his "Becky Sharp" and "The New Idea," in both of which Mrs. Fiske won great and long continued success. The theme of "The New Marriage" is matrimony, and while Mr. Mitchell deals earnestly with matters of ser ious import, his manner Is that of the brilliant satirist. The play is a com edy of the highest order, since it is at once true to life and present day so cial . conditions and scintillates with wit, epigram and amusing situations. Undoubtedly, the world over, the comedy of character furnishes much mere enjoyment than the comedy of intrigue. uuough "The New Marriage" de velops intrigue, it is essentially a comedy of character, and every type in it and it is studded with types will at once be recognized as a fit sub ject for treatment in such a play. The comedy Itself may be described in the pregnant words of one of the characters who in it speaks of some thing as "gay and distinguished." It is all of that and more. It satirizes various elements and practices of so ciety with a gayety which is contag ious for the moment and only after ward does the true depth of the thrust suggest itself. Mr. Mitchell's types have something of that emphasis which in the hands of a French writer even of tne first order would suggest caricature. But their truth is as definite as they are musing, and he projects them with such skill that each one of them con veys a message that tells while it en tertains. "EVERYWOMAN" IN CHICAGO. At the Grand Opera House, Chicago "Everywoman," Henry W. Savage s j remarkable production of Walter i Brown's modern morality play, dupli-: cated the success which attended its I presentation at the Auditorium. The j site of the audiences which have mark-i ed the engagement at the Grand thus; far, considered in conjunction with the ' enthusiastically expressed commenda tion of everybody who has witnessed a performance of this theatrical uovel iy, fix the status of "Everywoman" a not only the most successful offering now running in Chicago, but as one THE GIRL WITH BEAUTIFUL HAIR Attracts Attention Everywhere There is one sure and certain way for every woman to have beautiful hair, and that Is to give it Intelligent care, which Includes the use of New bro's Herpiclde.

Hundreds of persons to whom thea tergoing is a pursuit of the most cas ual nature, as well as hundreds of oth ers who have probably not been inside of a theater for years are to be noted in the gatherings which applaud the performance. "Everywoman" has so much to offer that there is little to cause wonder in this. In addition to the merit of the production as drama of purpose and entertainment, there is the wonderful scenic production, the numerous cast of nationally famous players, and the unique score of illustrative music writ ten by George Whitfield Chadwick and played by an orchestra of grand opera dimensions to add to its at tratclveness.

Although of French origin (and ap parently of German-American adapta tion), the whole thing is well arranged as a modern musical comedy, save that where the average musical comedy proves banal "Madame Sherry" sparkles. The whole collection of amusing story and funny interludes is one of much more than ordinary brightness, and is rendered most ac ceptable by the tuneful music which runs through the production. It is full of pretty melodies, which were not only well sung but added to by the scenic and other efrects on the stage. In fact, the scenic side of the pro duction is one of the features, each of the three stage pictures being given with a wealth of effect and pictures que detail that makes it stand out markedly. But it is the music and the excellent manner in which it is sung and played which gives the greatest charm to the production, and this was easily proven by the fact that the foyer of the theater last season fairly rang with people whist ling or humming the catchy airs be tween the acts at the close, most of the people being .content to give snatches of the "Every Little Move ment" song, whose tuneful melody was interwoven throughout the whole en tertainment. In the "Birth of Passion" song, a really beautiful illustrative dance is given by "Yvonne" and "Ed ward." "Alma, Where Do You Live." In presenting "Alma, Where Do You Live?" at the Gennett on Monday night, November the 27th, Joe Weber as th finish of the seen her Quartette Tuesday Night, November 21. reveals the potentialities of the Eng lish language in reproducing French fun without the occasional nastiness. The play is an adaptation but it is decidedly more acceptable in the shape to which Mr. Weber has moulded it, than its German pat tern or the French original. It is now piquant enough for the old person, decent enough for the young, and al together maintains a happy medium between the somnolent respectability of American comedies and the wild excess of the Parisian stage. There is no escaping the charm of Briquet's music, which is entirely different in technique from any other latter day success. It has all that melodium, en chanting and ravishing movement for which the French composer is noted. Some of the song hits which became "epidemic" in the Metropolis are. "Alma," "Gillies," "Never More," "Boo Hoo-Hoo," "Childhood Days," "Boogie Boo," "The Land of Beuti ful Dreams," "Sail Home," "Kiss Me, My Love," "Love Me." At the Murray. With an eye to pleasing the public Manager Murray has secured what he believes will be a most pleasing bill for the coming week. It will indeed be a genuine laugh feat for all who 6ee it, as the show is chuck full of comedy from start to finish. The show opens with Emil Cheveriel, one of the best trick violinists in the country. Mr. Cheveriel uses a slip per, a small wash boapd and other unique articles as a bow to his fiddle, and plays both classical and ragtime music. r.. Jones and Walton are presenting a laughable sketch entitled "Our Coun try Cousin," with Miss Walton in the title role. This is a rural sketch with Miss Walton impersonating two dis tinct characters and gives this versa tile young lady an excellent opportuni ty of displaying her talent. Mr. Jones as Si Perkins is a laughing success. Scott and Wallace in a singing and dancing act are a couple of neat en tertainers. Both young people have excellent voices and their dancing might be termed the very poetry of motion. Miss Wallace is an especially attractive young lady and wears a number of beautiful gowns. The Three Walseys, are the head liners and are well deserving of the position. The three young men per form a number of acrobatic feats that are new and show great ability in their line also introducing a lot of good clean comedy into the act that is most amusing.

SENSATIONAL CASE WILLMJEARIIJG Two Fair Assailants of Mil lionaire Stokes to Be Tried This Week. (National Vews Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 18. Broadway habitues are manifesting considerable interest in the forthcoming trial of Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, on the charge of shooting W. E. D. Stokes, the multi-millionaire hotel man. The case will be called in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court during the first part of the week of Nov 20. Both girls are in town and express their confidence in a speedy acquit tal. Mr. Stokes refused to make a statement today, but judging from the activity in the office of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Buckner, who is to lead the prosecution, strenuous efforts will be made to secure a conviction. Detectives have been working on the ! case since the hearing of the girls last summer, and it is expected that some sensational testimony will come to light. Clark Jordan, counsel for the girls, declined to outline the defense, I but intimates that his fight will in- i elude the introduction of important ! testimony bearing on the millionaire's ! relations with his clients. i Talk For Scandal. The shooting of Stokes occurred on the evening of June 8, last and fur nished talk for scandal loving New York for several weeks. The victim is the owner of the Hotel Ansonia and the possessor of a large fortune. He is well known along Broadway and has been in the limelight many times during the last score of years. Stokes is past the three score mark, but had been friendly with Lillian Graham, according to her assertions, for a number of years. The girl al leges that Stokes "ruined her life," and cast her aside. She further states that the aged millionaire refused to leave her in peace but circulated scan dalous stories about herself and her mother. It was because of these per secutions, she states, that the shoot ing occurred. Both the Conrad girl and the Gra ham woman have figured more or less in the news of the day because of the sensational events that marked their careers. Miss Graham is known as a singer and pianist of some repute in Paris where she studied for some time. She made a bid for notoriety by at tacking her music teacher because of the discharge of one of his employes. She is also said to have endeavored to pass at Lilian Nichole Graham, who achieved great success in Paris re vues. Miss Conrad's chief bid for notoriety was her attempted shooting of a man named Miller in Plattsburg, because of alleged slander, and her attempt to publish letters from John Farley the strike breaker, after a quarrel. In fact, it is because of Miss Conrad's Plattsburg exploit that the shooting of Stokes came about. Miss Conrad, according to Miss Graham, recited the Plattsburg affair and advised her to make Stokes "eat his words." Ac cording to the girls the millionaire came to their apartment in search of letters he had written Miss Graham and was shot after his refusal to sign a statement retracting the alleged slanders against her. What Stokes Says. W. E. D. Stokes, who described him self in one of his letters to the de fendants put in evidence after the as sault, as a "cross, crabbed, old cove," states that the Conrad girl called him on the phone and invited him to the apartment she shared with Miss Gra ham that she might return a packet of letters he had written Miss Graham. On arriving at the apartments of the women, Stokes alleges that they demanded 25,000 for the return of the letters, and, that upon his refusal Miss Graham threatened him with a revolver. Stokes says he again refus ed and that Miss Graham shot him twice before he was able to wrest the weapon from her. During the FRECKLED GIRLS FRECKLES, TAN AND BROWN MOTH reign supreme here.

According to further testimony at the hearing. Stokes was set upon by two Japanese after he had left the apartments of the girls and severely beaten, under the supposition that he was a burglar. The shooting created a great sensa tion and was followed by hysterical confessions in which each girl endeav ored to shoulder all the blame. An other phase of the case was the mys terious disappearance of the bundle of letters that had served as the bait to lure the millionaire hotel man to the girl's apartments. These were al leged to have been turned over to Stokes' detective by the policeman guarding the apartment. The young women were held for some time pending the recovery of Stokes, when they were released un der heavy bail, and enjoyed a brief career on the stage. Both women seemed to take the matter as a joke, both during their hearing last sum mer and in the interim. TACT OF AN ACTOR. Cotharn's Happy Thought and tha Un ruly Gallery Gods. It was In the year or 1SG4. Dur ing the summer months Sothern. with John T.

The little building had. of course, a gallery, and in the gallery the "gods became so obstreperous on occasions that it was with great difficulty the play could be proceeded with. The ringleader, a well known rough of th town, was a man named Bill Ilanra han. One night a happy inspiration seized Sothern. Having learned the name of this prominent member of tbe rowdy element, he addressed him In the midst of the most unearthly noises as follows: "Mr. Uanrahan, will you be good enough to take charge of tbe gallery and keep order for me? I shall feel very grateful." The result was magical. Bill be came at once an official of tbe theater and as such cracked tbe heads of a few of his erstwhile fellow rioters with such good effect that it was only a little time before the best of order prevailed. People of Europe dislike New Zea land butter because it 'has a fishy taste. A chemist has recently discov ered the cause.
