"Held by the Enemy" at the Grand Opera House, To Be Followed by Louis James in Tragic Roles. The Bijou Will Give the Town Another Hearty Laugh. Ihe Danz Request Concerts- Several Musical Events Announced. A large audience should greet the de servedly popular play "Held by the Enemy," at the Grand opera to-mor row night, as well as Tuesday and Wednesday evenines. It is not 100 much to say the "Held by the Enemy" is dramatically one of the strongest and most intensely interesting plays before the public. The scene is laid in a South ern city during the war of the Union, and the flavor of war incidents, and the romance render it thrilllngly exciting. The author has been fortunate in con structing his play so that it does not appeal to sectional prejudice, but Is as popular with the veteran who wore the gray as the one who wore the blue. The necessary I love story is . well told and fittingly developed, and the element of comedy, so essential to the success of every drama, enters largely into Its composition. Few modern plays have been so well adapted to the popular idea as this work of Mr. Gillette's. The company is good without exception.and the piece is given a most artistic repre sentation. This is not the ingenious opinion of the übiquitous advance agent, but an honest recognition of a worthy play, whose well-earned tame piccedes it. LOUIS JAMBS. For period covering over twenty years Louis James, who will appear at the Grand Opera the last three days of the present week, has held a prominent place in the history of the American stage. He was born to be an actor and at once assumed the position of leading man, supporting such prominent stars as Clara Morris, Charlotte Cushman, Fanny Davenport, Edwin Forrest, Lawrence Barrett and many others. For the past three years Louis James has been constantly engaged in portray ing (as a star) the leading characters in our best tragedies. Such service cer tainly gives Mr. James a stringent claim for first place among the most illustrious of our tragic actors. Mr. James' repertoire for Minneapolis consists of Hamlet, Othello and Ingo maron Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinee respectively; for all these spec ial scenery and rich and historically cor rect costumes have been provided. From exchanges it is learned that his company is one of unusual strength, • many of the leading people having been associated with him in former years. The names of some of the company are F. C. Mosley. Mabel Amber, Fanny Gillette, H. C. Langdon, Harry Leigh ton and Edwin Ferry, who is well known and very popular in Minneapo lis, having been a leading member of the stock company of the People's the ater in its palmy days. There will be no Saturday vetting performance. BIJOU OPERA HOUSE. V«i • -■ . . ■ - ■ ■, , jv - i i "Another hilarity week" is the way Manager Uixby, of the Bijou, speaks of the coming attraction at the Bijou, when "A Soap Bubble" as light and thin as air will be the attraction pre sented - for the consideration of the patrons of that house. No claim of se rious or intricate plot is made for this play. The only distinctive claim is that is is funny, and that it has been making the public laugh throughout the coun try tor the past four seasons. It is claimed to be a bundle of amusing ab surdities, interspersed with uproarious situations and climaxes, and the whole woven together with a series of songs, dances and catchy music. The com pany presenting it is headed by E. J. Connelly, an eccentric comedian whose creation of "The Barber" in this play has placed him in the front rank of comedians of that class, and he is ably seconded by the bright little soubrette, Dolly Foster, and an able company, while the "Soap Bubble" quartette forms one of the most pleasing features of the entertainment. The Bijou fre quenters like comedy, and the house should therefore have a prosperous week. FOi'EK GOSSIP. Ralph Harmon, treasurer of "The Waifs of New York," now playiug at the Bijou opera house, has quite a romantic history. He was born upon the Isle of Elba, near the scene of Napoleon's home during his banishment; and during the Franco-Prussian war he was left upon ~the battlefield of Sedan for dead; but.be escaped with his life, and now bears the scars of seven bullets received on that bloody field. The attention of Manager Conklin and Lieut C. A. Parker is called to the fact that the swinging door of the middle circle in the parquette circle is kept open most of the time by ushers and foyer loungers, thus al lowing the cold air to come directly from the entrance upon the audience. • . . - ■ Ex-Manager Friedlander, of the Harris, has been lending some valuable aid to the Press club in disposing of tickets for the benefit of the fire sufferers. "Lost in New. York," with its many barrels of real water and ponderous scenery, will be the attraction at the Bijou opera house New Year's week. ' . • Word has been received that Frederick Bock is not meeting with the best of luck, in a financial sense, with his "Senator Bliz zard." The final presentation of "Waifs of New York" will be given at the Bijou to-night. Col. P. Harris is expected to visit the Twin Cities at an early date.

Maj. Norton, the sec retary of 'the board, said ho had tele-j phoned to Commissioner Gjertsj:n!s| store, but he ■ was not there, umf the session was opened without the pres encu of the mail who has been entirely' ignored in the proceedings of the com mission since the consummation of tho Brackett-Uuilu-liabb combination. The only business transacted was the dis missal of Adalbert Hall, a patrolman as signed to the Fifth precinct, formerly a detective at police headquarters, and: at one time connected with the mounted squad. Charges - were preferred: against Officer Hall by Supt. Brack et^ of insubordination. Th*» charges grew.out of the affidavit made by - Hall j reflecting on the actions of th« superin tendent in connection with his visit in company with Hall to a certain house of ill-fame in South Minneapolis which .was published in a recent issue of the Free Lance. When Maj. Mortou gave the above information to the reporters after the meeting one of them ex claimed: "It isn't safe for an officer to tell anything reflecting on his superior or to make an affidavit to tiling of that character while on the force, is it?" ' "Well, not while he is a policeman," remarked the genial' secretary with a laugh. - It is said that the summary action of the police commission was caused by the action of Hall in testifying to the facts set forth in his affidavit before the grand jury yesterday. THE HEAD OIVOitCE CASE Dismissed Because of Mrs. Head's - Failure to Appear in Court. - A few weeks ago Ella J. Thomas ' Head filed an application for a divorce from her husband, Ernest K. Head, for cruelty and neglect. Ernest came back at her with an answer which de clared that she was the one at fault, i and that Mother-in-Law Thomas was ! chiefly responsible for the trouble which had broken up a once happy i home. The case attracted considerable attention from the fact that the parties have been .married but a short time, and unit be fore marriage and all through a somewhat protracted courtship they seemed to be so thoroughly bound up in each other. The husband is also well s known about town, he having been cashier at the Xicollet house for some- - time. Mr. Head was recently taken sick with typhoid fever, perhaps the result of worry over bis domestic difficulties, i and Mrs. Head came to his bedside like! a true woman, Since tiler, they have' probably decided not to net divorced. At any rate, Mrs. Head's petition for temporary alimony was dismissed yes terday because of her non-appearauce. ■ jii ; The Limited » asr Mail. |i [ The Union Pacific Railway, the Ov|r-| land Route, has just put on a Limited Fast Mail Train to carry the.
