SceNE From “THE Governor’s Lapy” Now PLAyING AT THE Hot1,LIs 
NEw York HIPPODROME 
The dramatic spectacle “Gypsy 
Life,’ The “Plunging Horses” and 
the Mammoth New Circus, the added 
features to the greatest of all specta- 
cles “Under Many Flags” at the New 
York Hippodrome have startled and 
amused thousands of patrons during 
the past week. 
“Gypsy Life’ is in three scenes. 
The first is a mountain pass in Hamp- 
shire, England, the second a country 
hillside showing a gypsy encampment, 
and the third is a woodland path in 
the Hampshire hills. The hero of the 
spectacle is “Silver Heels,” the fav- 
ored horse of Mirza, queen of the 
gypsies. He is stolen for a circus and 
appears in the arena in the presence 
of the gypsies. They recognize the 
queen’s steed and pursuit follows. 
The rider of “Silver Heels” in des- 
peration plunges into the lake which 
the woodland path skirts and escapes 
to the other bank of the lake but not 
without a thrilling chase by the plung- 
ing horses ridden by the gypsies. This 
scene is one of the most picturesque 
and thrilling ever presented on the 
great Hippodrome stage and astounds

TREMONT THEATRE 
A play which literally has caused 
a sensation in New York for the last 
five months came to the ‘Tremont 
Theatre, Boston, Monday evening, 
Feb. 24th, for an indefinite engage- 
ment. “The Yellow Jacket” is de- 
scribed as a Chinese play, done in the 
Chinese manner, an expression which 
means nothing to a person who has 
never seen a Chinese play. 
It was written by Geo. C. Hazelton, 
author of “Mistress Nell” and J. Har- 
ry Benrimo for twelve years a prin- 
cipal actor and stage director for Da- 
vid Belasco. 
Before attempting to ,write the 
play, the authors read more than three 
hundred translations of Chinese plays 
and many volumes of Chinese legends 
and folk stories. 
The cast and the production are the 
originals seen at the Fulton Theatre 
in New York. The only other com- 
pany of “The Yellow Jacket” is in 
England, where it will be seen at the 
Duke of Yorke Theatre, London, on 
the same evening as its initial pres- 
“THE GARDEN OF ALLAH” 
The last weeks of the most wonder-— 
ful dramatic success known to New 
England, “The Garden of Allah” is 
announced by the management of the 
Boston Theatre. The play which is 
a dramatization of the novel of that _ 
name by Robert Hichens and Mary ~ 
Anderson Navarro is the superlative 
effort by the greatest American pro- 
ducing manager, Mr. George C. Ty- 
ler, head of the producing firm of the 
Liebler Company, who made three 
separate trips to Morocco to obtain 
correct scenic environments and at- 
mosphere for this play. A troupe of 
Arabs from the Desert including a 
Mohammedan Priest, several aides to 
Rasuila, the famous bandit, and other _ 
noted figures of the Desert were 
brought over to this country. Ma 
dame Faddma, a famous dancer of 
the Ouled Nailes Tribe of Arabs was 
also imported. The play, which now 
enters upon its seventh week at the 
Boston Theatre has proven one of the 
sensations of the theatrical season. 
What excuse will the ice-men have 
next summer?
