He renders quite a few numbers of the popular material and is assisted by the young woman on the ukelele. She also gives a modified ver- sion of the hula hula dance, showing its wierd and grotesque features. The Ernest Evans and girls troupe give a very satisfactory exhibition of modern dancing., They open with the cake walk and finish with modern and old style dancing. "The Cop" is a clever playlet which brings out human interest qualities. It puts to the test a man who is in line for promotion, proves true through all the difficult features and finally is declared the winner. There was quite a lot of fun and laughs brought out by Clayton and Lennie as the English chappies. Lane and Harper have a good sing- ing and talking act that is called the "Manicure and the Man." There will be special glection re- turns read from the stage tonight and both shows at 7:30 and 9:30 will be reserved. Seats are now ready and tickets are good for the shows design- lated only. All signs point to the growing popu-e larity of the costume play-the play a that is primarily romance, and of allf the actors fitted to play the part of a hero of romance not one can equal' Lou-Tellegen. It was as leading man for Sarah Bernhardt on her last Am-t erican tour that Tellegen first became1 known to this country.1 the Garrick theater, for one week be-s Lou-Tellegen in "A King of Nowhere,"1 by J. and L. DuRocher Macpherson, at the Garrick Theater, for one week be- ginning Nov. 6. The scene of the play is laid in the court of Henry VIIL, who is old, troubled with gout and torment-1 ed by the ghosts of certain queens{ whom he has caused to be removed1 from this earth when his affections turned to another.- One day when boredom sat heavyl upon him, his courtiers told him of a prisoner who lay in his dungeon, God- red., a Celtic knight, whom the wardens, speak of as king. Seeing a chance for diversion, Henry commands that the knight be brought before him. Then Godred appears, a fearless, powerful man, skillful alike with his sword and nimble wit. The king would make sport of him, but Godred's is the quick- er wit. He turns the joke back upon the court, making them all appear ridiculous. There is a battle royal be- tween Henry, armed with authority and his position, and the captive Celt, who, though defenseless and stripped of his sword, possesses a will so strong and charm so great that he brings old Henry crawling to his feet. GLEE CLUB BETTER TH AN LAST YEAR'S, SAYS THEO. HARRISON Theodore Harrison, who has charge of the Glee club, was very optimistic over the results of the third rehearsal held last evening in the auditorium of the School of Music building. "They have already a swing and volumn that equals that of last year after six or eight rehearsals had been held," was his comment. The back- bone of the club is definitely made out novw and all that remains to complete the personnel is to add a few more members intorder to properly bal- ance the parts. For results advertise is The Micki- gan Daily. Alarm clocks, $1.00 up. Chapman, Jeweler, 113 South Main St. tues-eod "The Emperor of Portugallia" is a story of Swedish peasant life. Its chief characters are two simple pea- sants, Jan and Katrina, and their daughter, Glory Goldie. The action and the plot of the story concern chiefly the love of Jan for his daught- er, Glory Goldie. It is this love which at first transforms the unthinking, un- feeling peasant into a fine, keenly sen- sible man. It is this overpowering love which later on turns Jan into a simple-minded, gentle old man who thinks himself Emperor of Portugal- lia, the land where there is neither poverty nor cold nor hunger. It is when Glory Goldie goes away from home that Jan becomes the Emperor of Portugallia. His simpleness is ac- cepted by the people, who feel sorry for him in his great affliction. Jan has also the gift of an inner sight by which he can see clearly what is, going to come to pass. The peasanfs believe that this has been given him in place of the mortal vision he has lost in his state of simple-mindedness. lie knows what Glory Goldie wishes him to do, and he knows what fate awaits Lars Gunnarson, a neighbor, who has virtually murdered his father. When Glory returns to her parents after an absence of about 25 years, the love for her father which filled her life when she was a small child has left, and in its place is only the knowledge that he is a poor, demented old man who hates her for leaving him solitary so long. Glory tries to take her mother away with her to a new home which she has made in the city. When Glory and Katrina are on the boat, Jan comes running down to the wharf, and seeing Goldie leaving him, jumps into the water. Finally, Goldie regains the old love she bore her father and mother when she was a child. "The Emperor of Portugallia" is a curious story, unreal in its setting, in- tangible in its atmosphere and action. It contains that combination of the real and the unreal which is utterly baf- fling, but is particularly interesting as a story for this reason. Some of the parts of the story are quite delicate, such as the scene in which Jan waits outside in the rain for the birth of his child, in an attitude of utter in- difference and hardness. When the child is put in his arms, however, he is entirely transformed. The whole story is told with most charming sim- plicity and delicacy, and with a certain charm which comes and goes, making both the most exquisite and the most brutal shift and change places with each other.

It is a three act play, and when you see intoj what a perfect maze of complications an aged professor of chemistry, his daughter aged twenty, his sister on the other side of forty, the youthful suitor for the daughter's hand, a re- tired general of sixty, and a number of minor characters can be involved in, you will understand the reason for the laugh producing qualities attributed to it.
