Frohman has decided upon Monday, Jan. 5, as the date for the commencement of Maude Adams' first New York season in over two years. On that night at the Empire Theatre, New York, Miss Adams will be seen for the first time in J. M. Barrie's The Legend of Leonora, liis first full evening's play since What Every Woman Knows. The Legend of Lenora as a play is best described as a comedy written only for those who have had a mother. * * * Chas. Frohman has fixed upon Jan. 19 as the date for his third musical comedy production of the season, known as The Laughing Husband. This piece, which had a long career in Vienna and is still being acted in London, will be done rather more elaborately on this side with a company of nearly one hun- dred players. GAVIN D. HIGH. MARYSVILLE, Dec. 25.—Alice Lloyd and her company of enter- tainers appeared before a large house. Miss Lloyd herself is al- ways a favorite here, and she charmed her audience more than ever. Her new songs as well as the old were enjoyable. Frank Fogarty was certainly a treat. After the performance the entire company, to- gether with our best citizens, en- joyed a banquet and a dance at the Western Grill until the arrival of the Oregon Express for Medford, ()rc., where they play their next en- gagement. SAN JOSE, Dec. 27.—Victory Theatre: Scott's South Pole pic- tures, with lecture by Chas. Han- ford, the eminent actor. I'usiness good for holidays. Vaudeville to follow shortly. Jose Theatre, after a thorough renovation, o])ens its doors again with Bert Levey vaude- „villo to the usual business—good— and a fair bill being shown. Theatre De Luxe: Progressive ])icture ser- vice to the lovers of movies wlio, by the way, are not many. Market Street Theatre: Vaudeville and pictures to the regular thing—capa- city. Garden Theatre dark except for an occasional feature picture. Panama, Lyric, Empire and Class A theatres: Pictures to poor busi- ness. CARSON CITY.—Grand Theatre (W.S. Ballard, mgr.)—Pictures only this week, but good pictures and a good crowd to view them. The Leisure Hour Club presented Val- loza and Durand at their hall Jan. 3—tabloid opera. A. H. M. Spotlights Oliver Morosco's production of Jack Lait's new drama, Help Want- ed, has caught on nicely at the Cort Theatre, Chicago, where it will begin the second week of its engagement Dec. 28. The cast includes Henry Kolker, Grace Valentine, Chas. Rug- gles, Frances Slosson, Franklyn Underwood, Lillian Elliott and others. Mr. Morosco contemplates giving the play a New York presen- tation this season with a specially selected cast. According to press reports there are a total of 270 cases of typhoid fever in Centralia, Wash. Local and State medical officials are using all efforts to stop the epidemic. Margaret Anglin is to play a long engagement in New York in April. She will present her entire repertory of Shakespearean plays, in which this year she has the assistance of a brilliant young English actor, Ian Maclaren. Andrew Mack's opening ])lay at the Alcazar Tlieatre, on Monday night, Jan. 19, will be Tom Moore, by Theodore IJurt .Sayre. This play is one of the greatest successes in the Mack rc|)ertoire and in it are introduced such historical charac- ters as Sheridan, Beau I'rummell and many others. Mack will sing The Last Rose of Summer and others of Moore's songs in this pro- duction. When Andrew Mack opens his starring engagement at the Alcazar Theatre on Monday night, Jan. 19, he will have the support of not only the full strength of the Alcazar company, but five other well known actors who have been especially en- gaged for his season.

Miriam Neike, director; Fred J. Butler, principal (stage director Alcazar Theatre). woman, Louise Hamilton, is one of the most beautiful women on the American stage. Brigham Royce, now appearing in Joseph and His Brethren, was re- cently interviewed on the value of a Shakespearean training in prepar- ing for a modern stage career. 'Tt has been said that Shakespeare fore- told the future with greater accu- racy than all the men of science who ever existed, and wrote for that fu- ture," Mr. Royce remarked. "His characters, although drawn three hundred years ago, are today repre- sentative of modern conditions, and the successful plays that have been written during the past decade have all been prototypes of the plays of the great Bard' of Avon, and his characters have been dresed in mod- ern clothing and made to do duty as original creations." The Feminist Theatre was organ- ized in New York last week. It purposes to give a number of dis- tinctively feminine plays at special matinees until the idea has been completely developed, when it is ex- pected that it will become an im- portant institution. The first of these plays will be given after the close of the present theatrical season, and they will, in all likelihood, be given at'Atlantic City. Maude Leslie, one of the most delightful and intelligent of the younger dramatic artists, has been invited to become a member of the company at the close of her engagement at the Fine Arts Thea- tre in Chicago, where she is now playing. Margaret Illington, in Bayard Veiller's globe-girdling dramatic tri- umph. Within the Law, will be the Cort's attraction beginning Sunday night, Jan. 11. Tremendous inter- est attaches to this engagement. The play itself has won success on both sides of the Atlantic and the star may truly be termed a local favor- ite. Her work in The Thief and in Kindling raised her to the front rank of American actresses. E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, during their forthcoming engage- ment at the Cort, will present their entire Shakespearean repertoire of seven plays, as well as Justin Hunt- ley McCarthy's romantic drama. If I Were King. As is the custom with Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe, they will offer their entire repertoire dur- ing the first week. Their engage- ment will begin with a comedy, Taming of the Shrew, to be followed on Tuesday night with Much Ado About Nothing; Wednesday mati- GOLDSTEINS CO. /^/\CTI IHilCDC Pacinc tjUu I U M Go?dsteTn|Ha1r ^ ^ ■ V ■■-■»■>-' and Wig Store Make-up.
