This same collcnt story together with Jt many song hita and beautiful efnaemble num bers with James T Powers as the star and who is supported by the original Metropolitan cast and a lw o dapsblfr of chorus singers will visit the Belasco Theater this week com menclng tomorrow with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees The story has been thoroughly Amer icanized and brought up to the minute by the foremost prtlsans in this line now in the of the Messrs bert Everywhere The Blue Moon has been presented it has been the recipient of the greatest pratee being styled as a new standard in comedy opera Its run continuous and throughout the entire entertainment this series of comedy complications keeps one in a continual wave of happiness A notable feature of the fun is the absence of any slap- stick or vulgar lowcomedy methods It is just a clean wholesome little tale well written and well told by artists The musical numbers of which there are many contain everything from two really classical selections to the merry little ditty that one oannoC resist whis fling Dont You Think It Time to Marry quite the most captivating morsel of melody that has been eon structed In a generation and close ond in its bid for popularity are Why Dont You Take One Little Boy and Oh Be Careful of the Crocodile Throughout the entire entertainment the music is of that animated cianly caliber that demands the atten tion of the lovers of the Jingling melo dies a well as the devotees of the highest forms of harmony The story has its locale in British India and is Woven around an English rpglment stationed there and a hand rf strolling players beaded by Mooraj who many years before the opening of the play kidnapped an English girl who was then only a baby and who has been brought up under belief that she Is a Burmese under the name of Chandra Nil which transplanted from the native tongue means Blue Moon At the opening of the play a final effort is being made by the mother of the little kidnapped English girl to locate her child and Private Charlie Taylor the part portrayed by Mr Powers 1 instrumental in discovering that Chan dr Nil is none other than the lost child Mooraj has made arrangements whereby Chandra Nil is betrothed to an East Indian prince but site being in luif with a young English officer finds the way to marital happiness bestrewn with many obstructions Of course everybody eventually is righted to every ones satisfaction but not before many dainty little cross stories unfold Private Charlie Taylor is much in love wi h Millieent Le Roy portrayed by Clara Palmer who is at once recog sized as one of the most brilliant and satisfying musicalcomedy artiste that ever graced a single role The joint work of Mr Powers and Miss Palmer has proved a revelation inasmuch as they have demonstrated thoroughly that clean clearcut and wholesome endeavors are possible in the lighter operatic entertainments They are thor oughly legitimate in all cases and they are quite the most eptttg of entertainers now In the publics eye Among the cast are Phil H Ryley Frank Farrlngton edward Earle Max H L Griffith Robert Brederick Myrtle Cesgrova Leslie Leigh Flor- tno Earle Laura Jaffray Donald Archer and the famous Shufcert beauty chorus composed of fourscore young ladies of recognized vocal efficiency Phil Ryley assumes the comedy role in his usual painstaking manner Jennie Prager a premier danseuse known principally as the originator of buck and step dancing on the tips of her toes is also engaged for her specialty Altogether The Blue Moon may be considered without fear of tion as the biggest and most satisfying aggregation of nomedrns singers and dancers that is now catering to the American public The famous English pony ballot continues to be a special feature of the production The Colombia Lyman H Howes Moviiigf Picture To travel to foreign lands at a trifling cost to see the strange cities and coun tries you have most longed to see them are some of the pleasures invariably de rived from Lyman H Howes moving pictures to be seen at the Columbia The ater this week Nothing short of actual travel could be more fascinating or in- structive The two new in form every one in the fullest degree of our great yesterday and greater today at home and abroad At the same time it affords much wholesome amusement and interprets current history Grave and gay light and serious the entire pro grammes are as varied as human charac- ter Every picture accompanied by nat ural sounds tells its own story well and clearly It is the personal note which characterizes Mr Howes entertainment above all others of the kind For the first half of the week the subjects Include scenes in Holland and life in the French navy and the ceremonies and diversions of the Zulus will surpass most sanguine ex- pectations Another feature will be Wild Birds at Home showing by moving pic- tures these shy timid creatures at im- portant periods of their lives quarrying in Prance hunting

polite vaudeville bill sparkling with fun and melodious with music the whole programme comprising Horace Goldin Maud HallCarlton Macy company Barney Pagan and Henrietta Byron the Village1 Choir the Great Riolmrda York and Ower Adamlni and Taylor and the motion pictures of The Baby Show and Scenes in Northern Venice The crowds of curious pleasureloving patrons of vaudeville are expected to on masse to see Horace Goldin Mr novelty is said to be the Jaat- word in the mysterious science of necro- mancy which this wizard has carried to a degree of development far beyond others especially in performing all his feats of Illusion and transformation absolutely in silence not a word being spoken to dla tract the ctosft attention of the auditor In this way Goldin exposes his work to tho severest test No others have so far followed in his footsteps He is assisted by tba French illusionlste Mile Jeanne Franstell anti her grace and adeptness are said to heighten the attractiveness of the great novelty A special feature 5 the exposition of the latest European fa 1 DIabolo The extraordinary offering wIn the Maud HallCarlton Macy company in Magpie and the Jay described as the daintiest character study ever pre- sented in vaudeville That it Is superbly played will bo credited to Mils Hall a talented actreesatar and Mr Macy a distinguished actor both formerly of the Frohman companies Barney Fagan the onetime minstrel comedian popular the world over will be assisted by Henrietta Byron in playing their latest protean bur letta An Entertaining Oddity The Village Choir will delight lovers of music with the melodious blending of their voices in giving the songs of yesterday today and forever The Great Richards wfll be seen in a deceptive novelty of nature and the act should arouse great comment Work and Ower introduea a ludicrous English comic specialty Adamini and Tuylor will have a fine instrumental number as The Wan daring Minstrels The Academy Thomas E Shea Of much interest to lovers of classic drama is the attractive programme of Jr Thomas E Shea whom Messrs Co han and Harris will present at the Acad- emy of Music tomorrow night Mr Shea has arranged a repertoire which is in every way a representative one for it not retains the roles in which the tragedian is known best but Includes the new religious play by Eu- gene Thomas entitled A Soldier of the Cross An engagement of Mr Shea would not be considered complete without productions of The Bells and Dr Jek and air Special perform- ances therefore with a newlyprovided- scantc equipment are announced for both In A Soldier of Cross the author has built up a part for Mr Shoe In the character of Ajax gladiator which brings within focus all sides of this papular actors ability The scene of new piece is laid in ancient Pompeii nt the time of the destruction of the city the volcano Vesuvius and tells the story of the early Christians The author it is said has not hesitated to avail him- self of the melodramatic material that is the real historic back for the struggles of the early Christians The period of Roman persecution and Chris- tian martyrdom rich in itself with a world of sensational data has furnished for the dramatist enough thrilling episodes without once ever exceeding the bounds of probability On the other hand MJV She is happy in asserting that A Sol- dier or the Cross has kept free from the contamination of sensualism that has so often been employed in the religious drama to qbtain the socalled effects by contrast The tragedian Is sincere in the belief that the message to be imparted can be driven home without resorting to the carnal and voluptuous This statement is the more convincing when it is considered that A Soldier o the Cross has been a sweeping triumph both for actor and author Furthermore the overwhelming boxolflce returns that have attended Mr Sheas tour prove be- yond a doubt that the exhibition of sen suallsm Is not essential to the success of a religious play of the early Christian period Ajax by his victories in the arena has won the muchcoveted wooden toll given by the Emperor Titus He learns of the abduction of his daughter Claudia and vows the punishment of her persecutors Claudia is discovered wor- shiping in secrecy with the Christians whom Tlgellinus praetor of the city has driven into seclusion Ajax arrives on the scene in time to befriend and pro tect the Christians against the Pretorian guard and by virtue of his wooden sword thwarts an attempt carry off the supposed slave girl Claudia The prince Rebeliius who loves Claudia joins Ajax against their common enemies The wicked princess Astrallt who in turn loves Rebeliius pits her spits and influ- ence in opposition to Ajax and his daugh- ter Chief among featured effects Is the eruption of Vesuvius which is said to receive a marvelously realistic repre sentatlon because of its deta and scenic equipment is of considerable significance to the antiquarian and of equal import to the student of early Christianity Mr Shea will be in A Soldier of the Cross Monday evening and Tuesday Thursday and Saturday matinees Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde will be the play for Tuesday Friday and Saturday eves ings white The Bells will be presented on Wednesday and Thursday evening The 3InJestlc 3Iolly Bairn One of the most important events of the amusement season in this city will be the presentation by Messrs Burt and at the Majestic Theater this weak of Molly Bawn with Miss Beatrice Noyce and her New York This tnrill tar novel of that name by The

performance at the Girard Ave Every element of the successful play Is to be found In Molly Bawn an intense pot productive of many stirring situa- tions a strong heart and comedy in abundance Its moral lessons are up lifting and the purity of its theme and language Is exceptional Tire production is elaborately mounted and no time or money has been spared to do justice to the two brilliant wdmen whose pens have combined to present It No bettor choice of a Molly Dawn than Ml Noyas could have been made Her piquant and youthful beauty Is of a decidedly Irish type ana her artistic ability rises ail times to the great of the part MK Arthur S Hull is an admirable Lutterel and Mr Atkinson who so splendidly por- trpys the but iron willed Lord Amherst has been with the one firm of producing for more than twenty years Miss Maqulja Dwlght who plays the halfItalian Marcla is really halfItalian herself aa she has all the and subtlety so rarely com blnod but so necessary to the successful characterization of this dlfffcmU role Miss Noyes is particularly fortunate in having in her support so capable a comedian of the part of Potts as Mr James A BUss the short fat comedian who was so prominent a in the successes of the Rogers Brothers and who was most recently seen in the company or Mr Henry E Dixey in The Jan on the Box Potts Is a very Important part for ir brightens the play

Poynter and an extremely strong cast will be present- ed at the Academy week of April 20 Nearly every one has read Sirs Mary J Holmes book and found much enjoyment- In It That they will want to see Lena Durward Granny Joel and the other characters that move through the story on the stage is no more than natural The New York run of the play was a recordbreaker In the matter of receipts iand U Jias claimed attention In many of the other cities Very few liberties were tk n when dramatization of the book was made and it IK said to adhere YeT closely to the story woven so skillfully by Mrs Holmes From appearances it is not unlikely that the play will meet with- a warm reception here and Its presenta- tion will be largely attended Mr James ONeill appears at the Co- lumbia Theater next week The reper Urire will include Shakespeares Julius Caesar Dumas Monte Cristo and Sheridan Knowles Virginius The roles assumed by Mr ONeill in each of the plays will be Mare Anthony In Julius Caesar Edmund Dantes in Monte Cristo and the title role in Virginius It was in order to demonstrate to the public of today that In spite of his unique record with Monte Cristo he was not a onepart actor that he de- cided to reenter the rljissio realm of drama Since his opening for a run at the Lyric Theater New York his ad- mirers have responded In crowds in at- testing their admiration for an old favor- ite Old theatergoers who may remem- ber Mr ONeill in the past as Richelieu Hamlet Othello lago and Romeo whIte leading man with Edwin Forrest Edwin Booth Lawrence Barrett Charlotte Gush man and Adelaide Neilsen may Indeed look forward with pleasure to his appear- ance in the great plays Which ha will present nut week Richard Carla will come to the New Na- tional Theater next week In his new and oddlyentitled musical comedy Marys Lamb said to be a greater success than his very popular Spring Chicken of last season As the basis of the story of Marys Lamb Mr Carla used a famous old French farce Mme Mongodln which has been so successfully presented In England under the title of Mrs Ponder burys Past Carle Himself takes the leading role that of Leander Lamb a henpecked man The farce Itself is a capital entertainment but It line been made doubly so by the introduction less than thirteen song numbers which are the work of Mr Carle who thus appears as both author and composer In Mr Carles support Is an unusually good company Including Edith St Clair Bertha Mills Jeannette LowrIe John B Park Frank Beloher Ray Youngman Harry Montgomery and Ab The chorus is said to be target agile and decidedly dressy tho young women appearing as cowgirls Dutch girls models grieettes society girls and in other jjuises Mr Carles music Includes such catchy songs as Betsys the Belle of the Bathers I Idolize Ida My Madagascar Maid If Number One Met Number Two and Never Borrow Trouble Mr Carles engagement will close the regular sea son at the New National a season that has lasted through

Scenes in Northern VeniceThe crowds of curious pleasureloving

patrons of vaudeville are expected toon masse to see Horace Goldin Mr

novelty is said to be the Jaat-word in the mysterious science of necro-mancy which this wizard has carried to adegree of development far beyond othersespecially in performing all his feats ofIllusion and transformation absolutely insilence not a word being spoken to dlatract the ctosft attention of the auditorIn this way Goldin exposes his work totho severest test No others have so farfollowed in his footsteps He is assistedby tba French illusionlste Mile JeanneFranstell anti her grace and adeptnessare said to heighten the attractiveness ofthe great novelty A special feature 5the exposition of the latest European fa 1

nature and the act shouldarouse great comment Work and Ower

introduea a ludicrous English comicspecialty Adamini and Tuylor will havea fine instrumental number as The Wandaring Minstrels

The Academy Thomas E SheaOf much interest to lovers of classic

drama is the attractive programme ofJr Thomas E Shea whom Messrs Co

han and Harris will present at the Acad-emy of Music tomorrow night

Mr Shea has arranged a repertoirewhich is in every way a representativeone for it not retains the roles inwhich the tragedian is known best butIncludes the new religious play by Eu-gene Thomas entitled A Soldier of theCross An engagement of Mr Sheawould not be considered complete withoutproductions of The Bells and Dr Jek

and air Special perform-ances therefore with a newlyprovided-scantc equipment are announced forboth In A Soldier of Cross theauthor has built up a part for Mr ShoeIn the character of Ajax gladiatorwhich brings within focus all sides of thispapular actors ability The scene ofnew piece is laid in ancient Pompeii ntthe time of the destruction of the city

the volcano Vesuvius and tells thestory of the early Christians The authorit is said has not hesitated to avail him-self of the melodramatic material that isthe real historic back for thestruggles of the early Christians Theperiod of Roman persecution and Chris-tian martyrdom rich in itself with a worldof sensational data has furnished forthe dramatist enough thrilling episodeswithout once ever exceeding the boundsof probability On the other hand MJVShe is happy in asserting that A Sol-dier or the Cross has kept free fromthe contamination of sensualism that hasso often been employed in the religiousdrama to qbtain the socalled effects bycontrast The tragedian Is sincere in thebelief that the message to be impartedcan be driven home without resorting tothe carnal and voluptuous

This statement is the more convincingwhen it is considered that A Soldier othe Cross has been a sweeping triumphboth for actor and author Furthermorethe overwhelming boxolflce returns thathave attended Mr Sheas tour prove be-yond a doubt that the exhibition of sensuallsm Is not essential to the success ofa religious play of the early Christianperiod Ajax by his victories in thearena has won the muchcoveted woodentoll given by the Emperor Titus Helearns of the abduction of his daughterClaudia and vows the punishment of herpersecutors Claudia is discovered wor-shiping in secrecy with the Christianswhom Tlgellinus praetor of the city hasdriven into seclusion Ajax arrives onthe scene in time to befriend and protect the Christians against the Pretorianguard and by virtue of his woodensword thwarts an attempt carry offthe supposed slave girl Claudia Theprince Rebeliius who loves Claudia joinsAjax against their common enemies Thewicked princess Astrallt who in turnloves Rebeliius pits her spits and influ-ence in opposition to Ajax and his daugh-ter Chief among featured effects Isthe eruption of Vesuvius which is saidto receive a marvelously realistic representatlon because of its detaand scenic equipment is of considerablesignificance to the antiquarian and ofequal import to the student of earlyChristianity

Mr Shea will be in A Soldier ofthe Cross Monday evening and TuesdayThursday and Saturday matinees DrJekyll and Mr Hyde will be the playfor Tuesday Friday and Saturday evesings white The Bells will be presentedon Wednesday and Thursday evening

The 3InJestlc 3Iolly BairnOne of the most important events of the

of the part MK Arthur S Hullis an admirable Lutterel and Mr

Miss Noyes is particularly fortunate inhaving in her support so capable acomedian of the part ofPotts as Mr James A BUss the shortfat comedian who was so prominent a

in the successes of the RogersBrothers and who was most recentlyseen in the company or Mr Henry EDixey in The Jan on the Box PottsIs a very Important part for ir brightensthe play which though intensely interest
