Mr. Tellegen. It was produced in
New Y'ork last fall, and had a long
nnd successful engagement there. Mr.

natural talent of Mr. Tellegen until
he is one of the most accomplished
players our stage has ever known. He
came to us first as the leading man
with Madame Bernhardt and scored
an instantaneous personal success.
Remaining in this country since that
time, he is now an American citizen
and one of the leaders In producing
the finer things of the theater. It was
during his younger years, as an art
student, that Mr. Tellegen gathered
the material for the story of "Blind
Ycuth." The tale relates how a young
artist, left in Paris by his American
mother, falls into the clutches of an
adventuress. Finding his love false,
he takes to drink and onlv the story
of a fellow-artist brings him to his
senses and sends him to America.
There he finds regeneration through
a lovely American girl. The adven
turess follows him and seeks to marry
h's half-brother. To prevent this the
artist makes an appointment with '
her. to which the brother calla the
artlat'a fiancee In this scene is the'
big thrill of the plav. The artist
however, justifies himself and all ends '
happily.

In "Salome" her greatest dramatic!
effort, is the mammoth i
attraction at the Victoria Theater all i
next week.
Five thousand players were , e ""l
gaged for this superb picture. Eight |
hundred artisans alone were employ- j
ed in building a reproduction of the j
ancient city of Jerusalem, this being j
one of several replicas on a grand)
scale. Salome's bath of costly marble I
and the palace of the King Herod are
said to be triumphant examples of |
Judean splendor. The peacock foun
tain in Salome's boi>doir, also, is ;
shown, having been modelled after an j
old Biblical print. Of modern signifi
cance is the reproduction of the Gate
of Jaffa, through which recently .
marched the victorious Britains under _
command of General Allenby.
Some idea of the fundamental ex
pense involved in staging "Salome"
may be gained from these items: Two
hundred loads of sand were hauled
from the beaches to build the streets
of Jerusalem: 500,000 feet of lumber
were consumed.
