As the first of the three closing of ferings of the present season, Elsie Ferguson comes to the Davidson May 17, 18 and 19 in the much discussed drama, “Outcast.” Miss Ferguson will be supported by the same company responsible for the New York and Chicago successes of the play. Miss Ferguson's depiction of Miriam, the title part, is regarded by critics as the country over as the critical success of her career, and the play has been adjudged the strongest piece of dramatic writing the stage has seen in many years. Channing Pollock and Rennold Wolf, who wrote the new comedy, "A Perfect Lady," in which Rose Stahl will appear in the Davidson for three nights and Saturday matinee commencing May 20, have written the books of many musical plays. Miss Stahl's play, "A Perfect Lady," is the latest work on which the authors have collaborated. The date of the one night appearance of Charles Frohman’s and David Belasco’s all-star cast in “The Celebrated Case” has been definitely announced as Monday night, June 21. The cast includes Otis Skinner, Nat. C. Goodwin, Ann Murdock, Helen Ware, Robert Warwick, Frederic de Belleville, Josephine Victor, Elita Proctor Otis, Minna Gayle Haynes, Eugene O’Brien, and Beverly Sitgreaves. The initial American performance of one of the greatest hits of the present season in Germany, the popular play, “Es Braust Ein Ruf,” a tale of the days of mobilization in 1914, by Hans Gaus, will take place in the Pabst Sunday night. In this new play Gaus has well succeeded, according to reviewers, in portraying those anxious days of apprehension when the orders for mobilization were given and the common danger united all Germany as it has never been united before. Franz Kirchner, for whose benefit the performance is to be given has been a valuable and popular member of the ensemble for a number of years. The announcement that Ibsen will be represented among the dramas for next week with his “Wild Duck” —The Wild Duck —will be welcomed by the many admirers of the great Norwegian poet. It will be the Wednesday night subscription performance. An extra subscription performance will be given Friday night, the bill being a double one and comprising the delightful comedy “Frauenkampf,” and the charming opera comique “Die Ach”. An all-star cast. Five distinguished stars will appear in “The New Henrietta,” scheduled for presentation in the Pabst Monday night, May 17, for the reason that the roles which they interpret are of such equal importance in the unfolding of the plot, that indifferent acting would prove the play’s undoing. “The New Henrietta” is one of the most brilliant comedies that has ever been shown on the American stage. Considering the interpreting term “five-star aggregation” is applied in referring to the Vossal union of William H. Crane, Thomas W. Ross, Maclyn Arbuckle, Amelia Bingham, and Mabel Taliaferro. Each of these artists has appeared at the head of organizations specially selected to lend them fitting support, and each has earned stellar honors. SHUBERT. “Mamzelle,” a most unusual French comedy with a touch of American humor, is to be the next attraction in the Shubert commencing with a special Milwaukee night performance Monday, at which all seats on the lower floor will be sold at 25 cents. “Mamzelle” is a play that will afford local theatergoers an opportunity to see themselves as they are seen nightly by the actors and house attaches and it is for this reason that Manager Niggemeyer has decided to make Monday “Milwaukee night." It is in the second act of the play that the lobby and entrance of the Shubert will be faithfully reproduced on the stage and all the house attaches, from treasurer to ushers as well as Manager Niggemeyer, will be seen on the stage. VAUDEVILLE MAJESTIC. Another exceptionally big bill of high-class vaudeville is offered in the Majestic twice daily for the week beginning Monday afternoon when Orville Harrold, called “the greatest of all.” American tenors, who will be heard here for the first time, and Alice Eis and Bert French in their new and ultra sensational terpsichorean presentation, “The Dance of the Temptress,” will headline. Clara Morton, one of the four Mottons, and always a popular favorite, will be here, assisted by Frank Shein, in a new musical diversion. Rose Melville and Robert Higgins, another pair of favorites, will be seen in “Putting on Airs,” which is said to be filled with good-natured humor. Julia Nash will be here in a new comedy playlet. Also, Wilbur Mack and Nella Walker. The Creighton brothers and Belmont, known as “The Mudtown Minstrels,” and Harry Watkins, “the komical kink,” will be here for the first time, completing the bill.

These charming girls offer a diversified bit of comedy and song. Roland West will present his clever comedy play, “Just Half Way," John Gardner and pretty Helen Valley appear in the principal roles of this piece. Tabor and Green, entertainers and song writers who sing in a manner all their own new original melodies, will offer several of their latest song hits.

De Mille’s successful play, “The Woman,” which was originally produced by David Belasco, will be offered in the Alhambra Monday and Tuesday with Lois Meiedith in the principal role of the telephone operator.

Thomas H. Ince, the famous producer, is responsible for “Rumpel stiltskin,” the four-act Master picture, which will be shown Wednesday and Thursday. The famous story, "Strathmore," has been made into a four-act Master picture by D. W. Griffith and will be presented Friday and Saturday with a stellar cast, including Charles Cleary, Alfred Paget and Francia Billington. ORPHEUM. By popular request, the Williamson Submarine expedition pictures, the first and only motion pictures ever taken under the sea, will open a one-week's return engagement in the Orpheum Sunday. Many who were unable to see these startling pictures of the deep sea have requested a return engagement. For this reason, Thomas Saxe has decided to bring back to the city the pictures. School children will be urged to attend the production, which shows the marvels of the deep, giving more vivid and actual information than could be secured from hundreds of pages of printed matter. The pictures take the audience on an exciting journey for 100 miles along the bottom of the sea from Nassau to old San Salvador, where Columbus first set foot on the western world. The most thrilling feature of the production is the life-risk duel between one of the Williamson brothers and a large man-eating shark. A lecturer explains the different scenes. AMERICAN.

Q TO R V BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER Copyright by International News Service, 1915. CHAPTER XII. When 10 minutes after Edith’s flight from the drawing room, Constance knocked at her closed door, there was at first no reply. “Edith!” Constance called softly, “let me come in, dear —just for a moment.” Then the key was turned in the lock. and Edith faced her cousin, her eyes swollen by crying, her cheeks flushed. She was not crying now. Indeed, the spark of anger in her eyes seemed to have dried up her tears. “What do you want?” she asked coldly. “But as Constance entered the room, Edith’s self-possession deserted her for a moment.” “Oh, Connie!” she exclaimed, covering her face with her hands. “I’m so mortified —so ashamed!” Closing the door behind her that no chance passer through the hall might overhear the conversation, Constance put her arms about the unhappy girl and drew her close to her. “Ashamed!” she repeated. “But why, dear Edith? There is nothing to do.” Mr. and Mrs. George P. Miller, 316 Juneau avenue, entertained at a dinner or covers Friday night for Mr. and Mrs. Clement C. Smith, who have just returned from Honolulu. Those present were Messrs. and Mmes. Ludington, Patton, Howard Greene, William H. Schuchardt, William C. Quarles, Miss Miller and Charles H. Palmer.

The great problem at present is to ensure the neutrality of the Culebra slide. be ashamed of.” “Yes, there is,” Edith contradicted, her face still hidden in her hands. “I have let a man play fast and loose with me—have let Tom Morton flatten himself that I care for him, and now he shows me that he cares nothing for me; that he has so little sense of common decency that he will make me the laughing stock of all those people who are coming here tonight. I can’t stand it! I tell you I can’t stand it!” “Edith!” Constance remonstrated sternly. “Stop talking like that and listen to me. First of all, we must decide what’s to be done about tonight. Then we can talk of poor Tom after that.” “Poor Tom!” Edith repeated scornfully. “I am the one to be pitied, not Tom!” But Constance stopped her with a gesture. “It is a mistake,” she said, “to talk about anyone when one is angry with him —don’t you think so? And besides that, dear, let us discuss the matter of the dinner first of all. There’s no time to be lost—so gather yourself together. Your mother asked me to talk the matter over with you. I told her you and I would arrange everything, that you were always to be depended upon where pluck and grit were needed.” The appeal to her pride had the desired effect upon Edith. She raised her head from her hands, and consented to sit down on The divan by Constance and listen to her suggestions. “Now,” the older girl said, “you must remember that nobody who will be here tonight knows that this was to be an engagement dinner, so nobody will expect an announcement of any kind — for all are in ignorance of the state of affairs — all, that is, except Ralph.” The listing girl caught her breath sharply. "Yes," she exclaimed — "except Ralph! But what is to be told him?” “The truth," said Constance decidedly. “Then I'll tell it to him,” declared Edith, a vindictive sound in her voice. But Constance seemed to ignore this. “Yet,” she went on, “if you wish to have your engagement announced this evening it can be done. It will be very easy to explain that Tom was detained in Baltimore by business—in fact we could make something of a joke of the circumstance of the honored man’s not being able to get here even though he made every effort to do so.” She looked at Edith hopefully, but met no response in the gaze which Tom’s fiancee fixed upon her. “No,” Edith said, “I shall not announce my engagement tonight—not unless the news of it has already got out. If it has, I will deny it. For I am not engaged.” “Oh, my dear,” Constance begged, “won’t you let that matter rest until tomorrow? Then you can look at it calmly and dispassionately after you have heard Tom’s explanation… Edith paused a full minute before she spoke. Then she answered with a hardness and lack of feeling that convinced Constance that she was making a tremendous effort at self-control. “Yes,” she said, “I will wait until tomorrow, when I shall decide this matter finally—although I think I know now what my decision  be here?” she asked. “Yes,” replied Edith, "please tell her that we will not announce any engagement — unless we have to!” (To Be Continued.)

HOW TURTLE GOT HIS SHELTER Swift Wings was the handsomest boy in the tribe, and as he was also the son of the chief, he wore soft fringed shirts of doeskin and moccasins embroidered with colored beads. On his head there was always a gay bonnet with bright feathers, just like the one his father had. The old chief, whose name was Brown Bear, loved his son very dearly. The boy’s mother had died when he was but a baby, and the child was left with his grandmother until he was 12, when he returned to his father’s tent. Though the old grandmother was thought to be a witch, she had been very kind to the child. Swift Wings was fond of fishing and hunting, and would spend days on the lake in his small canoe. Now, at this time, which was many long years ago, there lived not far off another chief — a bad man — who was always trying to do something unkind to Brown Bear. This chief was called Panther, for he would slip about in the woods and do all kinds of mean tricks, such as stealing game from traps and running away with canoes that did not belong to him. Brown Bear had caught Panther one day and whipped him severely, so ever after that Panther watched for a chance to do some harm to Brown Bear. One day, Panther saw little Swift Wings playing in the water, so he caught the boy up in his arms, ran to his canoe and set out down the stream as fast as he could go. When the father came to his tent that night, he could not find the child, and, though he waited till dawn, the lad did not come. So Brown Bear went to the tent of the old grandmother to see if she could tell him where his son was and how to get him. The old witch grandmother happened to be very busy when Brown Bear came, for she was making a magic bowl. It was hollowed out of one piece of wood and carved all over the outside in pretty rings of light and dark spots. When she had polished it and fluted it around the edges, she went to the stream, and, looking into the water a moment, told Brown Bear that by her magic power she could see where Swift Wings were hidden. "Panther has stolen him," she said, "and has carried him to the top of Smoke mountain. I will give you this magic bowl, which I have just finished. Sit down in it and you will be carried at once to the top of the mountain, where your boy is living. If you own the bowl, any three wishes you make will come true." So Brown Bear took his seat in the big bowl and wished he was at the top of Smoke mountain, and —v.hisk! In a moment he was there. The bowl floated gently down and came to rest on the grass outside of a big tent painted in all sorts of colors. Inside the boy sat on a stool, while stretched out on his blanket, lay Panther. He was fast asleep, lying with his face downward and limbs spread out. The father called softly to the boy, who came running to greet him. Then Brown Bear caught up the big magic bowl in his arms, holding it high over his head. He stepped quietly into the tent and dropped it down on the sleep chief. Panther. The bad chief tried to get up, but Brown Bear held the bowl tight, and only Panther's head, arms and legs stuck out side of the rim of the bowl. The more the man fought, the more Brown Bear held the bowl down, until it pressed far down, so that Panther was squeezed tighter and tighter into the bowl. And just his head, arms and legs stuck out and wiggled. Then Brown Bear remembered about the bowl being magic and doing what one wished. So he stood up, and. waving his hand quickly, said: “I wish that Panther may turn into a little crawling animal and this bowl stick on his back until I use my third wish and wish it off again.” And is the twinkling of an eye it was done. There on the floor of the tent at the feet of Brown Bear and Swift Wings was, instead of the big chief, Panther, a small, ugly animal, with tiny arms, legs and a head sticking out of a shell that covered its back. And the shell was just like the magic bowl, all figured in rings. And this is the way that turtles came into the world, and they are crawling around till this day, waiting for Brown Bear to use his third wish and get the bowl off their backs, so they can be men again.
