Tonight the Royal Players will
present tlic famous "Lion and the
.Mouse," George M. Kline's great
play. The story is based upon the
frenzied finance situation of some
years ago, and the Lion, or John
Burkett Rider, the money king in
the play, is supposed to be one of
the most prominent officials in the
Standard Oil combine.
The story is as follows: Judge
Rossmore has been impeached
through the influence of John Bur
kett Rider, as he is holding out for
clean politics and thwarts the mon
eyed interests, and must be crushed.
Upon his advice he purchases some
stocks, which is brought against
him as being given him for a bribe.
Shirley his daughter, is away in
Paris at the time and returning
finds that her father is disgraced
and on the point of being hurled
from his position. She has met the
only son of the money king on the
continent, and they have fallen i"
love with each other. On finding the
circumstances as they are she de
termines to get in the household of
Ridar to obtain some letters that
proves hc-r father's innocence, the
love the son has for her helps her
obtain them. Upon the discovery
that, he has been tricked, Rider
orders her out of the house. It is
then the terrific climax occurs be
tween the two, and the fame of this
play is biased upon the climax of
this act.
Hiss Elliot has been pronounced
:is the strongest In this character
that has ever played it on the coast.
Reserved seats are on sale at
Keller Bros, drug store, and res
ervations will be accepted.
PERSONAL
Ira Robinson, well-known north
ern theatrical man, who Is now a
member of the Royal Players com
pany, arrived here from Juneau this
morning on ♦he City o£ Seattle.
Heretofore Ira has always brought
;.long a half-tone cut of himself,
hicli the Dally Alaskan has been
in the habit of publishing iu its
columns at reduced rates, but we
understand he had it _put iu one of
the Juneau papers while there, to
let his lady friends know he was
iu town, and has uever since been
;ible to redeem it. Hence the barren
appearance of this write-up.
