A MUSWMBP^ t- \ MAJESTIC Friday evening, March 25, Maude Adams in ••Quality Street." OIiPHBUM E*ery afternoon and evening, lilgh CIUUM vaudeville. COLONIAL I'!very afternoon and evening, vaudit ville and pictures. VICTORIA Motion Pictures. PHOTOPLAY Motion Pictures. ItEGENT Motion Pictures. Maude Adams Maude Adams comes to the Majestic next Friday evening, when she will be seen in a special revival that she has been planning for a long time of "Quality Street." This is one of the early plays by J. M. Barrie. It came immediately aft-r "The Little Min ister." In the first play Barrie showed that he was a skilled drama tist; in "Quality Street" ne went fur ther and proved it. His first work was no lucky accident and there are any number of people who will nan tne op portunity of again seeing "Quality Street" with positive pleasure. To them Phoebe Throssell will always re main one of Miss Adams' most charm ing characterizations. It is a great tribute to Barrie's skill that his plavs have lasting qualities that do not seem to be possessed by the works of his contemporaries. The reason is that he does riot deal with evanescent things. There iB no age limit to romance aud sentiment. Years after "Peter Pan" was thought to have run its theatrical course it was revived anil it was found to be more popular than when it was at first made known. Miss Ad ams is now having the same experience with "Quality Street." In the cities in which it has already been given the sweetness of its story "and the pictures of the life that it deipicts have won for it the most sincere appreciation. "Quality Street - ' is the name given to a little narrow place in England in the iong ago. The story deals with the people who live on this little street, principal among whom are Susan and Phoebe Throssell and the manly young doctor, Valentine Brown. There' is a love story you may be sure, and it is in its working out that one's interest and sympathies are aroused. A very com petent company will be found surround ing Miss Adams in the presentation of the play. Adv.* At the Orpheum Ralph Dunbar's Eight Royal Dra goons, hailed as vaudeville' 9 celebrated singing band, will be the star attrac tion of the Orpheum's bill this week. This is a high-class vocal attraction, es pecially in the matter of staging and costuming, although some of their vo cal ensembles and instrumental num bers are popular airs. The members of the cast appear in stunning white mili tary uniforms. The appearance is ef fectivp, indeed, before the handsome blaek idush curtains. The musicians are especially clever on their various instruments, producing whirls ol" ex quisite harmony. Their voeaf numbers are well rendered also, as the eight mu sicians a/e all singers of ability. The Royal Dragoons are much on the order of Ralph Dunbar's Royal Hussars, the act that headlined on the last season's closing bill anil which was then pro claimed by the critics of the local news papers as being one of the season's finest headliners Claud and Fannie I'sher, vaude ville's celebrated artists, will present their new comedy drama enUtled, "The Straight Path;" Hines and Fox, the natty singing comedians, return with new vocal hits; Muller and Stanley, the clever couple in songs and comedy, will likely win their former favor here with new material, and Claire Rochester, the charming songstress, will make her first appearance here. Nelson and Nelson, eccentric comedians, and Carl Rosine and company, in modern magic, will complete the inviting layout 01 tal ent. ' Adv.* At the Colonial "Sorority Girls," the "nifty" girlie attraction, slated to appear at the Colonial for the first half of the week, bids fair to win the honor of being the most popular musical oomedy act the Colonial theatre has seen. Pretty girls, pretty gowns, pretty scenery and pretty songs arc 30HC of its striking assets. The whole is nicely savored with good comedy. Captain Jack Bar net and son, the diminutive comedians, will offer an excellent comedy act 011 this bill also. Hogtie and Hardy, pre senting a variety skit, and the King brothers, clever gymnasts, will complete the vaudeville roster. Interesting mov ing picture features are also slated to be shown in connection with ihe vaude ville. Adv. 4 REGENT High class productions will be in or der at the Regent theatre. Market street, all week. Plays of the best qual ity will be reproduced, mostly those of David Belasco and Jessie D. Daskey. At this theatre onlv the best that can be had is shown. The patrons have shown their appreciation and the man agement will continue to ; lease by of fering only reproduction's of the best quality. On .Monday and Tuesday will be shown the famous Belasco play for the first time 011 the s.recn, "The Rose of the Ranch." This picture is not only a triumph in itself, but also it marks as does nt other production. It is the triumph of the picture drama. As a plav it enjoyed a run of two years at the Belasco theatre, Xew York City. On Wednesday and Thursday an other paramount feature will he offered, "The Bargain," in five reels, featuring the popular actor, William S. Hart, and produced by Thomas Tnce. In "The Bargain, Mr. 1 nee and Mr. Clifford have produced a wonderfully strong western story, which in its own class is very good. It is a typical western drama, full of thrills and action, some of which are of a sensational character. One scene in particular warrants special mention. Mr. Hart, who plays the leading role, with his horse, a well trained animal, roll over and over down an em'bankment. This act is one of the most wonderful reproductions ever seen. Neither the rider nor horse are injured in the leawt, a remarkable feature. Mr. Hart plays the role of "Bill Stakes, the Two Gun Man." He is a character that is constantly showing his prowess in the saddle. When ae is not astride his famous horse, he is prov ing himself a good actor in many ways, and is always giving a good account of himself.

Who Sat at Telegraph Key -I Hours at Stretch, Is Pensioned and Will Spend Rest of Days on Farm Blackwell, Okla., March 22. John M. Carnahan, the telegraph operator who sent out from Bismarck, X. D., one of the biggest stories the world ever read—the story of the. Custer massacre 011 the Little Big Horn in July, 1576 —has just retired 011 a pension and is planning to spend the rest of his days in Oklahoma on a Kay county farm. For seventeen years Carnahan was at the frontier station of Bismar k. The Bismarck garrison, including many friends of Carnahan, was in the Custer expedition. The operator and the post surgeon rode out from the post with the expedition when it started in June, 187ti, to punish the Sioux Indians. They went twelve miles with the Seventh, Cavalry and then returned with the last dispatch General Custer ever sent. It was addressed to President Grant and told pf the plans for the expedition. On the night of July 3 the steamer Far West came down tiie river and tied up at Bismarck when most people were in bed. The Far West brought the wounded from Reno's command and the oflicinl dispatches which told of the complete annihilation of Custer's out fit. • 'arnnhau was called from his bed and found on his desk in the telegraph office a carpetbag full of official re ports of the light and its results. Me sized 11 the job and his first wire ac tion was to Hash the woTd Bast that Ihe massacre had occurred. Then he set tled down to the transmission of the of ficial story to the Department of War at Washington. For twenty-one hours he did not leave the Key. Coffee and sandwiches were handed him now and then during the long shift and a wet towel was kept on his forehead. With the reports finished he fell into bed and for three hours slept the sleep of exhaustion. Then lie got up and re turned to the key. For two days the Fastern papers had been clamoring for detailed news of the massacre, but 1 arnahan could not leave his official work and until now there was no one to send it.
