This particular virtue has :.t--5 a sironc feature in Mr. Kiein's rr.::ib".ticns to dramatic literature. 7n his latest effort, "The Third ur.ee." which comes to the Acad exv of Music Friday afternoon and z:x'zi cur interest is aroused 1m z.?C'.z:sy after the curtain goes up :z tie first act and is sustained -ousaout the entire performance. Tie subject matter of the play is such that it invokes our attention izi starts our minds thinking and arouses cur best emotions, leaving impression that i3 indelible. Tie production is of unusual magni tude and displays a scenic as well dramatic art to the greatest ad vantage. Among those prominent in rr.3 company are Grace Ix)rd, Eliza :eu Gillespie, Raymond Wells, Frank Paron. Chas. T. DeiVechio, Edmond sprsgue, Wm. Weston, and others. Hirry Gili'oil, who plays .the chief ( medy rele of James Greene, the '"si i street broker in "The Wall S ie?r Gir!," the musical comedy, In -vjoh Blanche Ring will be seen rere Saturday at the Academy, can r. ve- boast of never having had a crM or a touch of throat trouble in t:s life. The reason is that he has no tonsils, they having been stunted in eroth when he was a child. As an imitator of animals and strange noises Mr. Gilfoil has no equal, i.e was born with the gift aci long before he could enunciate a ord correctly he could give per fect imitations of sounds that - he teard. At the age of five he could tark like a dog, moo like a cow, and in fact imitate any animal with ?"hich he came in contact. Although of course Mr. Gilfoil' has been giving these imitations yet they have not rasped his throat or caused tin any unpleasantness. He has endeavored again and again to give them up, but theatre-patrons simply re-is? to cllowf-iim "to-.do it. In "The al! Street Girl" he has a legitimate comedy role, but introduces a few :tn:Taticns into his songs. - Glowing Reports are Preceding the McEntee-Evfson Co. v Mr. McEntee, like the great num ber of artists who have graduated from what might be termed the Ben Greet school, Is forging to the front iri phenomenal strides.

Entee's various partrayals at Colum bia University, New York City, two years ago took occasion to call him "a rising genius." Such seems to be the concensus of opinion throughout the country. The Company includes 15 players, making it one of the largest classic organizations on tour. The McEntee-Evison Company will be seen at the Academy of Music next Monday afternoon and night. 'The Merchant of Venice" will be given at the matinee and "Hamlet" at night. Charlotte Favoied By Blanche Ring .

For many weeks a story has been in circu lation to the effect that James J. Jef fries intended courting a second "come back'' chance and would vattempt" to force the satisfaction of .ra'TeturnV bat tle with' the negro chaumpion,-; Jack Johnson. " The gossip, rumor, comment,, or what ever you want to call .it was to the ef iect that Jeffries rOUld.'gQ.'jinder tha management of "Cherokee" Tom Jones and after a six months sojourn In the mountains would open a real training camp. v Tex Rickard's pame was brought in to the talk, tliis picturesque individual bein given-credit for having induced Jeffries to make another gamble. .Jack Jeffries, so the story went.wouid be Jim's chief sparing partner. " The writer corraled the principals with the folowing results: Jim Jeffries still believes he was "doped" at his- Mona Springs training camp and insists that he scarcely knew what was going on about him when he entered the Reno ring. He insists that he can get into condition and likewise insists thaChe is Jack Johnson's master. He refuses, however, to acknowledge that he intends return ing to the ring, but was likewise dumb on the same subject when asked to de ny that he contemplated such a move "Cherokee" 'Tom Jones, when back- intQ & corner made Mg straight from the shoulder : Jim-.hag not-. asked-me to.be :his uiauaia J- c5 uao uut ivju xu. v-zac. u intends boxing again; but it is my personal belief that he is and has been for week consideing the step., "He ' was delighted as a boy at Christmas when he put on his ring clothes last Thursday and boxed be fore the moving picture machine for me. 'This feels like old times,' was his remark as he danced' about on the grass-. I have no axithority to speak for Jeff. He has made no direct state ments to me." . Brother Jack said: "Nobody knows what Jim intends to do. He will think that he is a better man than he showed at Reno, and I, for one, believe that he can lick Jack Johnson." And there the matter rests. If Jim Jeffries does not know the answer to the question why should anybody else presume to open the hag. - Railways Win In Union Depot Contest Special, to The News.
