Maude Adams Maude Adams comes to the Majes tio on Friday evening, where she will be seen in a revival of .?. M. Barrie's comedy, "Quality Street." This work was the second from Barrie's pen that Miss Adams made known in this coun try, it having immediately followed "The Little Minister." Upon its orig inal production its success was very pronounced and it was with regret that Miss Adams laid it aside. She always felt, however, that she would some day take it up again and her decision to do so this season seems to have been a very wise one. Admirers of the Scotch dramatist have seen him in many delightful moods. In "Quality Street," he is sentimental, quaint, sympathetic and humorous. His heroines have all been j charming and Phoebe Throssell will always remain one of his most ador ; al>le characterizations. Barrie indulges in metaphor in de scribing his play. He love af fair of l'hoebe and Valentine Brown to a garden in which a weed appears. But one can feel that though sorrows overtake the sisters, and a weed at tacks the garden of their simple lives, the audience oan smile through dim eyes while knowing that the flowers will yet drive the weed from the gar den. The plav is in four acts. Mies Ad ams will essay her old role of Phoebe. In her supporting company are Charlesr Hammond, Morton Selten, Stafford Windsor, Fred Tyler, Willard Barton, Wallace Jackson. Angeie Ogden, Sarah Converse, Elsie Clarens. I Potior.! Chip pendale and Byrd Rodgers.—Adv.* At the Orpheum The Eight Royal Dragoons head a great bill ot Keith hits at the Orpheum t-his week. The Dragoons present the best musical act seen here this season, j They are billed as "the singing baud" | and live up to the announcement in ! good style. They open with two in strumental selections and follow with | two vocal numbers bv the entire com pany, first the "Old Brigade" and j next S solo and chorus of "When You ; \\ ore a Tulip and I Wore a Sig Red Rose." Another instrumental selection follows anil for an encore a medley of national airs in which the work of 'the man «ith the drums" is really surprising. The act is effectively and j beautifully mounted, being an artistic j treat from saart to finish. Another de- I ciidely bright light of the bill is the | first lo<-'al appearance of Claire Roch- I ester, who is a newcomer in vaudeville. Her success however has been in i stantaneous. for aside from possessing I a very pleasing personality, she is the ; possessor of the most extraordinary ! voice ever heard on the Orpheum j stage. Her act is splendid and must | be seen to be appreciated. Some other j big Keith names on this week's tine I bill include Claud and Fannie Usher. 1 presenting a comedv drama called j "The Straight Path;" Hines and Fox. | the pleasing singing comedians; Muller and Stanley, very clever couple in i songs and comedy; Carl Rosini and j com pan v in modern magic aud one or ! others of almost equal import ance.—Adv.* At the Colonial Speaking of '• nifty" girl acts, step i this way. Take a look at "The Sem inary Girls, ' in the dandy musical | comedy act appearing at the Colonial ! during the first half of the week, and ; if they aren't just about the choicest ever, produce the others. This is a regulation "big time" act and it will likely cause a jubilee at the Colonial ! before it leaves there. Pretty girls.

Miss Marie Dressier was specially* engaged for this j laugh-provoking feature and of course .that great Keystone comedian, Charles Chaplin, takes one of the leading parts. As a cure for the blues no one could prescribe a better remedy than this six-part comedy. This "picture will positively be shown at the Victoria to day and to-morrow. Besides "Tillie's Punctured Romance" the usual high class pictures will be shown and each action will be given its proper tone ex pression on the new $25,000 Hope- Jones unit pipe organ orchestra. This wonderful instrument has just recent ly bees installed in this up-to-date the atre, and is the only one of its kind in the State. During each performance high class selections of music are ren dered, making the enjoyment of seeing motion pictures at the Victoria still more attractive.—Adv. * The Regent "The Rose of the Rancho," with an all Belasco cast of players, headed by Bessie Barriscale and produced by the Jesse L.

When the iinen got together Governor Brum baugh is said to have asked the Sen atorial lenders where they stood on lo cal option. Senator McNiehol very ) frankly told the Governor that he had .committed himself to oppose it long ago, and Senator Sproul announced that he is against it. "Before the election I was pledged against local option," said Senator Mc- Niehol, "and'l propose to stand by my pledge.'' • The Governor very insistently stat ed that he wanted to know whether they were for him or against him in *tho loeal option light, and asked Sena tor Crow, tvho is the chairman of the 1 Republican State Committee, whether 1 he would not endeavor, even though lie is against the bill personally, to secure | votes for it. Senator Crow told the j Governor that be did not propose to i coerce any members one way or the I other upon the measure, and he added j that he hoped "no one else would, either." He was asked whether he did not think that his course in opposing the j bill would influence the members from ! Fayette, but this he denied, saying that i all of the members of the House hait 'been elected either for or against local option last November and he did not beliave that any one had a right to in terfere with them at this time. "Parting of the Ways" Governor Brumbaugh declared that lie hail sounded out sixty per cent, of the county leaders ot' the State and that they were willing to go along on the measure provided the State lead ers diil not whip their members into line. He served notice that he was op posed to any practice of that kind. The conference discussed in a pe functory way the subjects of child la bor and workmen's compensation, but the real subject before the meeting was local option, the Governor's intention being to place the Republican leaders on record so that he may know how to act in matters hereafter where they •are concerned. Senator Crow's posi tion will be used for the purpose of stiffening up opponents of the local op tion bill who were weakening under the influences of the Governor and others who wanted to get them around to vote for the bill. The conference was regarded on Capitol Hill as the beginning of the "parting of the ways" between the Governor and the Republican leaders, and the biggest kind of a row is now looked for. The Governor is just as determined that local option shall pass as the antis are that it shall not pass, and the fight is on. Just at the close of the conference last night, and' aft er the Governor had returned to the capitol, he issued the following state ment: The Governor's Statement "The joint legislative committee of the House and Senate on Platform Bills, together with Lieutenant Gov ernor McC'lain, Secretary of the Com monwealth Woods and Attorney Gen eral Brown, met with the Governor for a two-hour session on Monday evening. The subjects of workmen's compen sation, chill labor and local option were thoroughly discussed. A praetie aly unanimous agreement was reached upon the fact that the workmen's com pensation bill should be passed in prac tically its present form after a hear ing. This hearing is to be held to-mor row afternoon, though the details of this bill are still open for decision. "In regard to the subjects of local option and child labor 1 the discussion was more general; but the detailed fea tures of the bills were not agreed upon. The Governor stated that a hearing had been requested for the local option bill. This will be held on April 6, when both sides will be given an op portunity to make a full statement of the case."
