AOA*D"EMT OF MTJSIC-^All "Week.TheOlrten Stock Company presenting Jo¬

seph Arthur's drama "Blue Jeans."BIJOU THEATRE.Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday and Tuesday matinee.Vaudeville. Thursday, Friday, Satur¬day, and Saturday mattinee.HaswellStook Company presenting "BecauseShe Loved Him So."

The earning -week at the theatres -»rillbe 6pUt between comedy, comedy-dramaand vaudeville. Manager Wells has

promised a farewell to vaudevlle in thebill the week before last, but the Inevit¬able happened and hie expectations in

the success oí "The Rounders' fell -with

a thud. So back to vaudeville he had to

go and as usual he has gone after thebeet oí it, as will be seen by matter

elsewhere. There wUl be only four per-fonaanees of vaudeville and then, on

Thursday night, the Percy HaswellStock Company, -which scored such an

ompbatlo suooess last -week, returns, pre¬senting "Because She Loved Him So,'' a.

comedy in -which the company proveeven better than in "The Little Min-ÌKtar." tor the balance of the week.At the Academy of Music Manager

Giffen, of the Stock Company, has one ofthose playe in -which he revels. It isfilled -with "thrills" truzzy saws, mobs,ytrenuoue dialogue and brilliant tfhancesfor splendid acting, and the latter, as

¦well as the noisy perquisites, -will beforthcoming. The performance of ''TheCbrietian" during the past -week was

next to Viola Allen's, the beet ever seen

in the city and was by far the mostambitious work ever done on Stock here.Mies Scott and Mr. Bennett both -were

capital and everybody else In the cast,«ven down to the tvell-trataed mob.Intelligently lead by Sam Cahen, workedhard and made "good."It is now left to tha press agents to

tell what is going on at the playhousesthis week and it Is hardly possibly thatthey can exaggerate.

"BLÏJB JEANS."If one desires to see pictured In strong

natural colors, about all of the emotionsof which man is possessed, and exper¬ience nearly all of them, ono has onlyto( visit the Academy this week and wit¬ness "Blue Jeans," Joseph Arthur's com¬

edi- drama to be presented for the firsttime in this city by the Giffen Company.One may laugh heartily at tho witty

lines with which the piece abounds andat the many ludicrous situations; one

piay weep at the sorrows of a Wne,doomed apparently to deEpalr; one mayhav· his nerves strained to th© utmosttension at the picture of an insensiblehuman being gradually but surely beingfirawa towards apparently certara andhorrible death.that of being mangledJ>y the sharp teeth of ß huge mill saw,revolving at lightning Epeed; one mayBee depicted with, the skll of an artistthe terrible condition to which InsaneJealousy may drive a pretty and passion¬ate vornan; one may see nature pre¬sented In tome cf her most smiling moodsIn two charmingly sweet scenes of rural«alights; ono may enjoy eeveral mostrealistic touches of Quiet life, of delight¬ful flavor; in short, nearly every string|n the whole gamut of human existenceit played upon, except actual tragedy,».¡though this is bo nearly reached as tocause considerable straining of the sen¬

sibilities."Blue Jeans" Is a. delightful play, and

.will undoubtedly attract crowded housesand reoelve the approbation ~lt flesenres.The "undressing of a sweet little girl,

the Introduction of an aberdeen-Angusbull In the orchard ecene, leaves fairingfrom the trees, the performance of a

country band, and again ot a country»juartet. and similar incidents are realis-tlo touches, which, taken with tho scene

}n the eaw mill, probably make the play>ne of the most realistic ever presentedan any stage.Blue Jeans ran for two years in New

Tork city, and Its wonderful success invhat metropolis was followed by long>uns In Boston. Chicago and all tho largotitles of this country.

BTORY OF THE PLAY.The »tory of the play is laid in what

Ì« known as the Blue Jeane District ofndiana; it Is in four acts, and besides

ìhe cast of fourteen characters, it «n-

ftloys the services of a brass band, the.Rising Sun Roarers" quartette and a

feost of supernumerarios.The scenes are so arranged as to admit

of superb scenic display, and of all these»pportunttles. it may be taken for grant¬ed Mr. Giffen will b« sure to avail him-kelf.The first act will present the yard and

enierlor of Jacob Tutwller's house in the>uburbs of Rising Sun, Indiana. Act 2

.rill show Perry Bascom's orchard; Act

3, whloh is In two scenes, will presentfirst, tho dining-room in Bascom's houseand second, the interior of the saw-mill,and the last act will show a sitting-roomin Jacob Tutwller's house, and in itssecond scene the corridor of the Poehouse., From this brief synopsis some esti¬mate may be formed as to tho possibili¬ties presented to Mr. Giften for that su¬perb stage display which is tho distin¬guishing characteristic of all his pro¬ductions, and which was declared byDaniel Frohman to be simply pre-emi¬nent. Mr. Frohman declared whenhere last week, that he had himself nev¬er staged a play more carefully or withbetter effect that had Mr. Giffen put uponthe stage in "The Social Highwayman"and "The Christian." both of which pro¬ductions were seen by Mr. Frohman dur¬ing his brief visit.Ei Ffl -

"Blue Jeans" Is a ? ay something afterthe style of "In Mlzzou.ra*" which theGlitcn Company gave last season withsuch conspicuous success, though it isdecidedly more melodramatic.

HOW THE) PLAY IS CAST.Miss Grayce Bcott will play the pnrt of

June, the poor house waif, one of thebest parts of the kind ever written. Ithas points of similarity with Lizbeth inIn Mluoura, ar-d those who rememberMies Scott's delightful impersonation ofLlebeth last season will look forwardwith all the more delight to her appear¬ance as June. It is an intensely strongacting part, and while it has some sug¬gestions of Gloria Quayle in its compo¬sition, it is as different as chalk fromcTîc-esQ.Miss Illington will have a very strong

acting- part as Sue Eudaly. It is sim¬ply crowded with possibilities, nnd thatMiss Illington will be able to developthem all, goes without saying. SueEhi dal j' is the belle of Rising Sun, thoughshe has formerly bean a snake charmer ina circus. She is ? passionate, fiery,jealous woman, and her thirst for revengeleads to one of tho crucial scenes in theplay.Lucillo La Terne will play the part of

Samanthea Hankine, a delightful come¬dy character part, in which this actresais sure to make another em¡;hatic hit.Miss Suzette Jackson will play the part

of a German cook, a character bit thatis extremely funny. This part will giveMiss Jackson the opportunity of theseason, and from present indications shewill certainly rise to the occasion.Miss Brown, who Is a sterling actress,

will have a delightful part as Cindy Tut-weiler. and will be more in evidence thanshe has ever been up to this time.Miss Deyo Scott will play the part of

Noll, the soubrette. It is admirabljrsuited to her capabilities. She has a

done« with Mr. "Lamp and some lightfantastic work that is sure to make a

great hit.Mr. Bennett will appear as Perry Bas-

com. tha wealthy mill owner, who Is acandidato for Congress. It Is an heroicleau and a \'ery good part that lo wellcalculated to show Mr. Bennett to thebest advantage.Jacob Tutweiler will be found the best

part that Mr. Hawkins has played inRichmond.Charles W. King will fill the part of

Colonel Henry Clay Risener, a countrypolitician and manager of Bascom's com¬pany to perfection. It is a magnificentcharacter part, affording Mr. King op¬portunities for the finesse he has dis¬played EO conspicuously hitherto.One of the most promising character¬

izations of the week will be that of De?? itt C. Jennings, who is to present BenBoono, a heavy character part. It isthe best part that Mr. Jennings will havethis pcason, and the many admirers ofthis sterling actor will have a splendidopportunity to bask in the sunlight of hisart.Mr. Dennett will appear as the village

blacksmith, and a large amount of hu¬mor is brought out of flirtations with theGorman cook. Mr. Brooke has an ex¬

cellent character part, and Mr. Chagnonwill have his first and best opportunityIn the sketch of an over-grown, foolishcountry boy. Mr. Lamp will play theministerial minstrel and will assist MissScott in her dance.

VERY ELABORATE SCENERY.The scenery for this production has

been prepared with the most elaboratecare, the outlay being very lavish. Mr.Giffen himself secured the young bullthat Is to appear in one of the scenesand led it home behind the cart. Healso collected the leaves and other garn¬ishment for tho stage that is to makethe scenes appear absolutely natural. Thescenery has been painted with absolutefidelity to the original models by Chas.?. Boss, and the stage pictures thisweek will be the prettiest that Mr. Giffenhas yet offered.The usual rule with regard to late com-

era will still be enforced, to tue comfortof everybody who takes the trouble toarrive on time, and to the great ad¬vantage of the players who are upon the«tage.The Fulgora stare wlU be the attrac¬

tion at the Bijou, for the first threenights of this week, with matinees Tues¬day and Wednesday.Manager Wells accomplished thi» good

picca of work by personal effort whileIn New York last week, working to re¬

place the bill that ho liad booked, andhe could not han-e been more fortunate,for this is a company of great excellenceand bearing the strongest possible en¬dorsement of managers and critics. Theorganization has just closed a most suc¬cessful season In tho West, and its seasonwas to have ended last Saturday, butowing to the fact that Mr. Wells offereda special inducement the managementextended the season to allow the com¬pany to entertain the Ricìimond andNorfolk theatregoers three nights each.The feature of the offering Is the con¬

tribution of tha Colibris troupe of mid-get3, a number that cost as much as an

average bill of vaudeville, and capableof doing an hours entertainment. Thelittle people are favorites of the ladiesand children, and wpnderfully clever.They were brought to America by themanagement of this company, and havebeen in grçat demand at all the vaude¬ville piay-houses. They do a little ofeverything that is good-There are comedians, and acrobats li»

tho troupe, and they will also be seenin neat little one act plays. But themanagement does not depend altogetheron this one feature for there are others.Baker and Lynn, high class musical en¬

tertainers, Tho Three Rosebuds, a trioo£ delightful maidens, who sing andiance and who stand at the top of theheap of novelty entertainers, Watsonand Van Allen, another novelty duo, Zedaand Eiden, in the "Demon Cave," andthere is a strong possibility that the"Man with the Green GIove3," JamesRichmond Glenroy, will also be in theswim.Altogether, with Percy Haswell and

her company for the week, too, Mr.Wells Is giving his patrons a rare treat.

MISS HASWELL·'S RETURN.The engagement of Miss Percy Haswell

and har Baltimore Stock Company at theBijou Theatre during the past week hasbeen so highly successful that ManagerWells has arranged for the company tocancel part of Us time this week in Nor¬folk in order that the organization mayreturn to Richmond to present anotherfine comedy, "Because Shei Loved HimSo," by William Gillette, author of "Se¬cret Seivice" and Sherlock Holmes."'Tnder tho original agreement, the Has¬well company was scheduled to play allthis week in Norfolk, but by the new

arrangement made last week. Miss Has¬well and her associates will return tothe Bijou Theatre here next Thursdayevening, and will stay the balance of theween..The Haswell company will undoubtedly

appeal· to exceptional advantage In "Be¬cause She Loved Him So." It is es¬

sentially a high class society comedy,ful of bright lines, pure sentiment andwholesome and refreshing comedy. Inthe first act, a designing servant maidsprinkles perfume and blonde hairs uponthe shoulder of Oliver West, a youngman newly married, because, she knowsthat Mrs. Vest is insanely jealous ofher husband, and that whenever a

quarrel breaks out tho servants alwaysget an evening to themselves. The ruse

succeeds, a dinner party is broken up.nnd Mr. and Mrs. Oliver West end thescene in a ,flne wrangle. In the secondact, the young bride, in tears, packs her¬self off to home and mother, and theyoung husband follows to protest hisInnocence. The couple, still wranglingbreak impetuously upon the domesticpeace and quiet of the bride's parents,a lovable old couple who have not knowna harsh word in more than thirty yearsof married life. The old folks, to impressthe young couple with the error oftheir ways, plan a mock quarrel to showthe evil of domestic bickerings. The rusesucceeds, but unfortunately the mockquarrel of the old folks turns into a realquarrel, owing: to a slight misunderstand¬ing about tho Platonic devotion of thefather to a certain Spanish lady. SeñoraGonzales. However, ultimately all isc'eaied up, but not before ono of themost cleverly constructed comedies inyears, has be&n shown.Miss Haswell will appear to exceptional

advantage as the young wife, GertrudeWest, and the other roles will also een/eto exploit the talents of the membersof the supporting company. Frank Gll-more, tho leading man, will be seen asOliver West. Alfred Hudson will playthe role of the father, and Miss AliceButler will bo seen as the mother. MissLaura McGilvray, who played the boy,"Mlcah Dow," in "The Little Minister/'so artistically, will be seen así SeñoraGonzales, the Spanish beauty. FrederickG. Lewis wil appear as Tom Weath^rby,the bride's brother, and the rest of theorganization will b* seen in the cast. "Be¬cause She Loved Him So" will be givenonly on Thursday, Friday and Saturdayevenings, and at tho Saturday matinee.

WAIT FOR JAM-BO-REEOne of the most original, unique and

altogether attractive performances to beseen in Richmond In the near future is"Jam-Bo-ltee," which is to be given bya select cast of local talent at the BijouTheatre on Friday and Saturday, May23d and 24th.The play is the product of tho pen of

one of the most brilliant newspaper writ¬ers of Richmond, and as it is to be pre¬sented by strictly home people, the inter¬est in tho production doubles. It is amusical comedy, and boasts of not havIng a single bar of any other composer'smusic In it. Several New York managers.have read tho manuscript and one otthem now has an option on the comedy,intending to give it a Broadway opening.The cast will be as follows:

gaged, enters, and, with Bessie, is seen,moving Into the conservatory. He stopfein the door and kiesee Bessie three timesJust as the husband. Bunting, enters. Thehusband sees only the hat and cape, andpresumes that It must be somebody kise-lng his wife.From that time forward the action of
