REOENT Motion Pictures. ' ' "Robin Hood" The attraction at the Majeetia this afternoon and evening will be the de Koven Opera <'ompany in an ambitious production of "Robin Hood." This is the company, organized by Reginald de Koven, the composer, for the pur pose of restoring Die glories of English 1 light o|tera, ami giving a jaded public more and better music than is afforded in the modern musical comedy. The principals were recruited from the grand opera houses of Europe and America, and a revival of "Robin Hood'' "was made at the New Amster dam theatre, in New York two seasons ago, where it ran for six months to capacity houses, was then transferred to the Knickerbocker theatre for an other run anil subsequently toured the country to enthusiastic welcome. It was Mr. de Koven's intention to multe it a permanent organization con sequently most of the original company have been retained and are making their third tour of the country, taking in only the large cities.—-Adv.* Grand Opera Successes A short interview with some of the leading artists of the Boston English Opera Company, which comes to the Majestic theatre, Saturday, March 13, matinee autl night in the mammoth production of Verdi's beautiful opera "II Trxvatoro" seems to develop the fact that there is at least one subject on which opera stars agree and that ie, that there is much more than a good voice neeessarv to acquire success in grand opera, that is why great opera singers are so scarce aiid why they command such huge salaries. It is said that each generation produces only one or two great tenors of opera. John F. Sbecihan, one of the Best English Opera Company's stars is without question the one of the present generation. It is conceded that he is one of the fore most American tenors of the day. Luckily, he also has great historionic ability: in otiher words, lie acts as well as he sings. That is what makes his impersonations so enjoyable.—Adv.* "Under Cover" A thrilling detective narrative com bined with an entrancing love story, is the theme of "Under Cover." the new play by Roi Cooper Megme which Sel wyn & Company will present at the Majestic next Wednesday, matinee and night. T'he play is one which gtives promise of rivaling the popularity rec ords established by "Within the Law," also produ/ed by Selwyn & Company, and already "Under Cover" has passed its 2'oo performance in both New York end Chicago. "Under Cover" deils with the pecret service and an effort to discover the smuggler of a valuable necklace. It is full of surprising incidents and reaches u to tally unexpected ending. According to press and public of New York ami Chi cago, "Under ( over" is a play whieih will delight all classes of playgoers and no matter what inroads moving pictures may have made with the pa trons of the gallery and balcony, in reference to other plays, they will re turn at least once to see this produc tion.—Adv.* "When Dreams Come True" One of the greatest theatrical suc cesses of the past year was scored by Philip Bartholomae's musical play "When ©reams Come True."

Just how her scheme Works out must not be told here. But the playlet nevertheless gives theatregoers a new phase of women pulling at the strings of politics and the lines and situations are clever and well handled. It iniijlrt 'be interesting to note that "Bill 999" was written by Miss Una Clayton, who waa at the Orpheum a few weeks aijo herself, ::nd who has presented many very clever f'letches in vaudeville. A« the suffragette, M : ss Grayce is very pleasing. Donald McMil lan, is very clever and very funny sa the suffering husband, while Francis Morey, is all that could be desired as the (Senator.

"The view is generally expressed that the Dardanelles cannot be forced without a heavy landing party. How eN'fer, this difficulty should not he given exaggerated importance. It is a great mistake to view the operations against the Dardanelles as a mere blurt.
