The appearance of E. H. Sothern

rean repertoire at the Dauphine thea
tre, for one week beginning Monday
evening, March 4, will be the chief
dramatic event of the season in this
city. There has not been since the
days when Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett joined forces, such a union of
histrionic talent as these two players
represent. Mr. Sothern was long a
star of the first magnitude on his ac

each had a tremendous following

TULANE.
The management of the Tulane has
pleasure in announcing "The Slim
Princess," with winsome Elsie Janis
as the star for one week. beginning
Sunday night, March 3, with a Satur
day matinee.
Miss Janis has always had a notable
popularity all over the country and
her first engagement here is looked
upon as a big social event of the year
at the fashionable playuouse. "The
Slim Princess," in which Miss Janis
will introduce herself in the guise of
a harem-skirted Turkish maiden, is a
musical comedy in three acts, the mak
ing of which enlisted the best efforts
of three of the cleverest men who de
vote their talents to stage production.
Henry Blossom, the author of "The Red
M.1ill" and Mille. Modiste," wrote the
libretto of "The Slim Princess" after
the ludicrous novelette by George Ade, ý
toe -.umorous philosopher. The musi
cal score was furnished by Leslie Stu
art, the English composer, whose best
known work in America is "Florodora
of tuneful memory. Janis, Stuart, Ade
and Blossom; there is a quartette to
conjiure with when the desiftd result

comedy. To perfect the equation of
absolute certainty of suctess required
only the fastidious taste and prodigal
expenditure which always character
iaes the productions bearing the arti
tic trademark of Mr. Charles Dilling

success of the season at Mr. Dilling

CRESCENT.
"The Virginian" as dramatized by
Owen Wister and the late Kirk La
Shelle, from Mr. Wister's novel of the
same name and the most successful
drama of Western life ever produced
on the stage, will be presented at the
Crescent all next week, commencing
Sunday night with the usual Tuesday.

Direct from the Maxine Elliott The

most prosperous run of four months,
comes tae comedy sensation of the
season, "Toe Real Thing," which is
being presented on tour by Miss Hen
rietta Crosman.
Surrounding Miss Crosman is the
same wonderfully clever company and
the remarkable scenic concomitants
that caused so much favorable com
ment during the metropolitan engage
ment. The New York critics, notably
Alan Dale, Acton Davies and Charles
Danton, were unanimous in praising
not only the charming acting of Hen

the situation at a glance, divines the
trouble, and starts at once to remedy
sense. She fixes the man and his wife
so that all their disturbance is over,
but she gets her own heart strings tan
gled up in the process. Getting out of
this fresh trouble, forms the culmina
tion of one of the most interesting and
laughable comedies ever presented oni
the American stage. This gem of a
comedy will be seen at the Tulane for
the week of March 10.
John Drew in "A Single Man," comes
to the Tulane shortly.
Crescent-Billy B. Van.
Billy B. Van, the comedian, who has
won popularity here before, opens a
week's engagement at the Crescent the
atre Sunday evening, March 10, in his
new musical comedy, "A Lucky Hoo
doo." Featured in the supporting c'st
are the vivacious Beaumont sisters.
"A Lucky Hoodoo" is a two-act mu
sical comedy with a good plot and bar
rels of fun. Mr. Van appears in the
first act as the property man of a vau
deville theatre and in the second as
office boy in the sanctum of a spiritu
alistic medium. He is given wide lati
tude in his fun-making.
The supporting company is reported
as excellent, including a large and well
costumed beauty chorus and the musi
cal numbers are pretty and catchy.
Little Emma Bunting, who was re
cently seen at the Crescent theatre io
"Tess of the Storm Country," is to re
turn soon in her greatest success, "The
Blue Mouse."
CREATORE COMING SUNDAY.
Those who have never heard Big.
Creatore and his band should not fail
to attend the concerts Sunday after
noon and evening at the French Opera
House, for they may never have the op
portunlty agaln to do so in this city.
It goes without saying that those who
have heard this organization in the'r
travels will be on hand to welcome the
noted conductor to this city. While
Big. Creatore sticks entirely to classi
cal music, he will not fail to give his
own composition of Southern melodies
which have bern praised so highly on
his Southern tour. The following quot
ed from the New York Journal an
American, will exprqm an idea of the
work of this hand: "The wildest dem
onstration of patriotic spirit ever seen
within the walls of a theatre was seen
when Creatore played 'The Star Span
gied Banner' last evening. The audi
ence was worked up to the highest
pitch of entustasm. Every man and
woman in the theatre sprang up; heads
were uncovered, and a cheer arose
equal to any ueard during the Spanish
American War. Women stood on chairs
