all because the,sentiment of hla Inter
pretations IS not of that static sort
that wastes Itaeir In weeping, but rath.'
•r of the dynamic kind that la glo
riously healthy, buoyant and virile.
Almost revolutionary are some of
Morits Rosenthal's Judgments on mat-
tem musical: 80, for example, he woe
asked: "In what order would you place
the grem composers?" After consid
erable thought he answered:
"First. Iirethoven: next, Chopin, then
Schumann then Wagner. Weber, ito-
xart. Bach." There he stopped and
smiled “You wonder at this? It la
a stamina arrangement of names? Not
so. Now. Juat remember my theory,
that that composer brings the biggest
message who voices the largest view of
life. Hl« greatneaa should be shown In
the variety as well as the Intensity of
the emotions he expresses.
“Who docs this? Beethoven. I think:

among my names. Why? Because
Bach said not a word of human pas
sion. Technically Bach stands before
all the others, perhaps, and aa a mel
odist, very high: but what did he
ehleny express? Religious fervor,
fear of Clod, mysticism, chapta tender
ness and sometimes humor. Apply this
principle and you see my reasons for
placing the others."
Rosenthal will appear at the Baptist
Tabernacle on February If.
“Tha Free Lance.”
John Philip Rouse's— new .military
comic opera, "The Free Lance,"
Joseph 1‘awthurn as the star of the
same blg-orasnlxallnn of_slngers_and
comedians which originally presented
the opera at the New Amsterdam The
ater. New York, last season, with the
same lavish production Which Xlaw A
Krlanger gave It at that time, will be
seen at the Grand on February 4 and 6,
with a Tuesday matinee.
"The Free Lance" Is heralded as a
genuine comic opera and a truly mag
nificent and colorful production writ
ten In the "March King’s" vigorous and
melodious style with book and lyrics
by Harry B. Hmlth, of "Robin Hood”
fame, telling a conelatent story In a
bright, sparkling manner and con
stantly brimming over with brisk, hu
morous dialogue, lAughable situations
and genuine mirthful quips and jesls.
There are three rousing marches, one
entitled "On lo Victory." which Is giv
en with the added martial effect of a
•tags band In addition to the big or
chestra which the company carries,
and creates great furore. But the score
Is by no means all of the stirring type
of musical effects. There ore many
dainty numbers, some charming ballads
and many capital comic dlules. The
opera Is brilliantly orchestrated and tue
striking choruses are rendered by a
numerous and well-trained chorus full
of sonorous voices. ’

IN “THE BUTTERFLY”
Rogers Brothers in Ireland
Close Program of ’
the Week.
Next week will be perhaps the moat
Important of the season In local theat
rical clrclea, for the Grand promises
three as high class attractions as the
stage has supplied In the last doxen
years. Every effort was exerted by
the local management to secure these
productions, and considerable satis
faction has been expressed that pa
trons of the Grand will be given an
opoortuntty to see plays which scored
the most distinct triumphs' In New
York.
The Itrst offering on the week's bill
Is "The Vanderbilt Cup." The pluy
held the boards for eight months m
the Broadway Theater, New York,
where It secured capacity audiences
at almost every performance. It was
taken to Chicago, where It was seen at
the Colonial theater for three months.
.Lillian Ruseell will be seen Wednes
day and Thursday nights In "The But
terfly." This will be the llrst time Miss
Russell has played over the Houllmrn
circuit In a number of years. "The
Butterfly" has scored a triumph,
will almost anything In which Miss
Russell appears Her appearance here
will mean an opportunity lo witness
the woman who has for years been
regarded as the marvel of beauty, and
distinguished for her magnlflcent tol
lets. Besides this, the play Is wel
worth seeing, and will be an event lit
theatric*! circles.
"The Rogers Brothers In Ireland
will conclude the bill . for the week,
which means that the high standard
will be continued throughout. These
fumflakers need no Introduction. They
carry the handsomest costumes, the
most artistic scenery and beautiful
chorus of any company on the road.
Every detail Is carefully worked mil,
while the music ami catchy songs
are great features. That capacity au
diences will attend Is assured.
“The Vanderbilt Cup."
TUe management of the Grand an
nounces the engagement of the much
talked of ‘"Vanderbilt Cup," next Mon
day and Tuesday nights and Tuesday
matinee. It la promised with all the
wealfh of surroundings and lavish
•qulpment which marked Its long, run
•t the Broadway theater, New York,
and the Colonial, Chicago.
With a theme as thoroughly fasclnat
lug as the automobile about which to
construct a play. It becomes necessary
that the rollicking mirth and enjoy

efforts of u like nature—the automobile
race, Is In Itself n liberal edig-atlon In
excellence. Positive originality Is the
keynote of the play throughout, and It
may safely he asserted that nothing
like It bus ever been seen on a stage.
Lillian Russell in "The Butterfly.”
In "The Butterfly,” the new comedy
which will be seen at the Grand next
Wednesday and Thursday, Miss Lillian
Russell plays Mrs. Elisabeth Kllllgrew,
the young widow of old Peter Kllll
grew, "who gathered up a great many
millions by stealing railroads and In
vested a few thousand In salvation by
supporting a church.' At the opening
of the play, the flnan"ler has been ileml
Just a year and a day. and his beuutlful
young .widow,. "Relay." Is blossoming
out of Iter mourning Into brilliant col
ors. Betsy has never been In love,
and never experts to And happiness
front Infatuation for any man; but she
means to find It. and Imagines that a
title will bring It to her.
She seeks a coronet which belongs
to the earl of Dexmlaater, who to only
too anxious to bestow It on her and
transport her with her fortune to Brit
ish soli. Betsy Is duly elated at the
sari's proposal when a new will to dis
covered.
Old Peter Kllllgrew, before his death,
had determined to put up the bait
against fortune hunters, and his meth
od was to decree In hts will that should
hla widow marry a second time the
happy man must be a relive born
American rltlten. If she should take
for a second husband any man not an
American, then the fortune should pass
to a nephew.
She first threatens 'o go Into a con
vent. but a few momen.s 1 1'er Is ovsr-
Joyed by discovering a wny out of con-
forming to the will, aud launches .her
self on one of the mwt ex laordlnarv
and complicated matrimonial adven
tures that ever convutsid New York or
Newport, the twin playgrounds of hasty
marriage and convenient divorce—ru
adventure that keepa all the characters
of the comedy in a in- ft swirl of ex
citement and cross purposes up to the
very moment of. the final fall of the
curtain on the happiest volution of
Retsy's problem.
Mr. Joseph Brooks tits sjrrnunded
Miss Russell with on t xciptlonally
good cast. In the company ore: i^i-
gene Ormonde. John Flood, Frederic!:
L Tlden. Fred Tyler, Charles I-amh.
Roland H. Hill. Kate fjrlflltn ami Rns.i.
lie de Vaux. The gowns worn by Miss
Russell are creations In every sense of
the word. Mere man can not describe
them. The scenes of the comedy are
told In New York and Saratoga ami the
scenic settings are very pleasing to tho
eye.
Rogers Bros. “In Ireland.”
The famous Robers Brothers o|ien St
the Grand opera house Friday night of
next week for two nights and one
matinee, presenting llielr comedy by
John J. McNally, railed "The Rogers
Brothers In Ireland." In past seasons
the Rogers Brothers' vehicles have been
vaudeville farces, a conglomeration of
comicality Interspersed with specialties
and elaborate musical numbers, now
they have a genuine Irish comedy poa.
.cueing n comic, a serious and a strong
love Interese. The Rogers Ilrotheis
play their usual German charnrtirj
roles. All the other types In the piece
are Irish and speak with a brogue. The
Rogers Brothers will continue their
broken German dialect and the con
trast between their style of expression
and that of the remainder of the com
pany Is likely to create it great deal of
humor.
The atory Is staged In three acts,
with acenes which represent Glenda-
loligh. the Lakes of Kllarney and Blar-
ney Faille. These are very elaborate
and graphic stage pictures of the local -
Itlta which they represent. The co»v
tumlng Will be especially attractive
and while maintaining In general the
eharactertotlce of Irish dreaa. will lie
Idealised for artistic effect. The com
pany to one of the strongest that has
yet surrounded the brothers and will]
present n very attractive chorus of six
ty beautiful young women and twenty
young uien. The piece was staged by
Herbert Gresham nnd Ned Wayburn.
The lyrics are hy George V. Ilohnrl.
