'ihf Dawn of a Tomorrow” drew a ’ ’ e audience here last night, and it brought the wonderful performance of the sublime drama enacted there last summer to our very door, so ta speak. Mr. Henry Ellsworth, whq has resided among the people of that far away placo for the past eleven summers, has brought to this country a large number of exclusive views, which the oommlttee in charge of the perform ance of the Passion Play have permit ted him to make, as well as many in teresting views of the village and the country surrounding it. These hee will exhibit at the Academy of Music for three days beginning Thursday nighc of next week in precisely the same manner as they were presented at the New York Hippodrome repeatedly last winter. Among the three hundred and four correctly colored views shown by’ Mr. Kllsworth will be every scene and lableau from the Passion Play and va rious portions of the theatre never seen by a visitor to the place, such as the great costume room, the proiierty room with its forest of spears, its shields and other paraphernalia. The private life of the villagers will be shown in a manner that will illii&trate the simplicity of these pious i)eople. Personal OF L[[ mm Special to The News. Raleigh, N.

Many times during the original rehearsals the girls left the,stage In tears vow ing never to return. But the act was perfected, put on, and created a verita ble sensation. Among these dogs is “Jack." the only all white regiptered thoroughbred col lie In America. He waK originally “the Drunken dog” with “Bamold’s Animal Actors,” and he has played every Im portant theatre on the globe. The other dog* were gathered from private fan ciers* kennels and from various “dog acts” in raudeville. When “The Top O’ Th’ World” was first produced at the Majestic Theatre, on Columbus Circle, three years ago the Collie Ballet wa.s first shown to an audience which “paid to get in.” Each girl danced her daintiest and easiest. The collies, with an eagreness. which seemed actually appreciative of the op portunity given them, romped through their work 1% perfect style. The first- night audlenro quick to recognize a •ensitlonal an^ pleasing novelty, gave the ballet recall after recall. That night a manager entered one of the big Broadway cares and said to a group of theatrical people “That new show that opened at the Majestic to night has a novelty, for sure. There’s a number in it In which six girls dance with six whl’^e dogs. It went so big to night that it stopped the ehow.” The Collie Ballet had Won Its Reward. There are flve of the original dogs at present with “The Top O’ Th’ Werld,” and a dog which was **broken to the act” diirlng tlie past summer. They are Insured in London Lloyds for the neat sum of $3,000.00 and two men «re carried to attend to them ftt all times. talking and eccentric dancing sailor. Marvello was a real sailor and he was good In that vlcation. But he suited his best talents when he went into vaudeville. No dancer has ever danced one the Casino stage like Marvello did, the eccentricity he put Into It was highly amusing and caus ed the house, which was packed to rear, with laughter. He is proving a drawing canl for the manager. * The Howards are also on the bill and are making a big hit with the Charlotte people. BABY GETS FATHER’S SKIN “The Passion Play.

Orange, N. J., Dec. 29.—Pranklin W. Fort, eldest son of former Gover nor John Franklin Fort, underwent an operation late this afternoon at his home. No. 70 Carleton street, this city, to give a little ov^r four square inches of skin from his leg to Tie grafted on the face of his 3?months-old son, Wil liam S., to help the healing of severe burns the youngster suffered on Thanksgiving day. It was in every sense a successful operation and it is confidently hoped that by its mea,ns the boy will grow up without being disfigured. It was the opinion of Dr. John L. Seward, the family physician, who has had charge of the child’s case since the accident, that unless skin grafting could be performed his chances of es caping ugly scars were extremely slim. The operation was decided upon last week and the father then volun- t€3red to be the subject. Every man knows what he will do In an emergency—until the time comes.
