“Texas."
Texas, to the lay mind seemingly
offers few inducements for the play-
wright in search of new material.
When it happens, however, that the
dramatist has had the advantage of
many years residence in the Lone Star
state, it ceases to be a matter of won-
der that the new play, "Texas," fairly
bristles with dramatic situations.
"Texs" is described as a "romance of
the sotthern plains" and was written

Ottokar Malek.
Ottokar Malek was born in Budweiss,
Bohemia, December 20, 1870. ire Began
the study of music at the age of six.
and at thirteen won his first success
in a public concert, playing Liszt’s
difficult Don Juan Fantasia.
At the age of sixteen he was ad-
mitted to the celebrated Prague con-
servatory of music. Vith the highest
honors he graduated from this, con-
servatory in 1895, playing Brahm's B
Major Concerto.
He was then engaged as instructor
to the duke of Fuerstenberg, being
recommended by the director of the
Prague conservatory to this honorary
place, for which there were many com-
petitors.
Later he went to Vienna to pursue
his studies with Leschetizky and Al-
) fred Grunfeld, court pianist to his maj-
" esty the emperor of Germany and his .
majesty the emperor of Austria.

vindictive greaser are the rocks which
threaten to wreck the ship of love.
The atmosphere which envelops
"Texas” is most real. The cowboys
are not only dressed as these hard
riding, deep shrinking chaps should be
costumed, that is, like genuine cow-
boys down to the minutest detail, but
what they do, and what they say rings
absolutely true. Quick to avenge an
insult, and equally ready to lend a
helping hand, the cowboys in "Texas”
are “it" down to the very ground.
The plot has , to do with the efforts
of the villain, Pasquale, to brand the
hero, Jack Dallam, as a cattle thief.
The treacherous Mexican is really the
thief, and Dallam joins the Rangers
for the express purpose of running
him to cover. Pasquale is eventually
landed in jail, but not until he has
wounded Dallam severely. The villain
escapes from prison, and immediately
hits the back trail for Buckhead ranch
to finish his rival, Fresh Water Jack.
A desperate fight ensues, and the

All Next Week Except Wednes-

The Chase Lister Theater company,
which will be the attraction at the op-
era house for one week beginning Mon-
day, April 3, is recommended to Nan-
ager Walker from all the managers
where they have appeared in Texas
as being one of the strongest attrac-
tions of the kind they have ever play-
ed, The plays they present are all
new, the people are clever, the stage
settings artistic. the costumes pretty,
the specialties pleasing and the entire
organization far above the average
companies playing at popular prices.
Charles and Gertrude Harrison, who
head the company, are a pleasing ex-
ception to the general exponents of
comedy seen with popular priced at-
tractions. their work is original and
pleasing, they keep the audience laugh-
ing from the time they walk on the
stage until they leave it, with appar-
ently no effort on their part to lw
"funny." All the plays presentd by
this popular company with one or two
exceptions were written by Mr. Har-
rison, and have never been presented
by any other organization, and all who
attend any of these productions are
guaranteed entire satisfaction. Ladles
free Monday night. Any person pur-
chasing a 30-cent ticket before 4 p. m.
Monday will be allowed to reserve a
seat for a lady free. Prices, 10c, 20c
and 30c.
commands his instrument. His touch
is very exact and powerful, which at
the same time never becpmes harsh.
His technical ability was penetrated by
real - intellectual power, so that the
difficult works he performed left a
thoroughly harmonious impression.
For Malek there seems to be no diffi-
culty in mastering eyen the most daz-
zling pieces. With his wonderful tech-
nique he unites a strength of tone with
a depth of feeling which is becoming
very rare in these days of striving
after nothing but mere technique. Es-
pecially finished and scholarly was the
playing of the Bach-Tausig Tocatta
and Fugue, as well as Beethoven’s D
Minor Sonata, of which the last move-
ment was rendered svith such bril-
liancy that it elicited tumultuous ap-
plause. In Chopin’s F Minor Fantasia
he gave emphatic evidence of a fin-
ished technique and musical intelli-
gence. Gruenfeld’s five pieces were
rendered with such brilliance and
power that the last number, the Taran-
tella, was followed by a tumultuous ap-
,ncoe
1898, winning everywhere the highest
encomiums. Later he traveled through
Austria, Hungary, Russia, Turkey and
other countries, apearing before roy-
alty in different cities and everywhere
playing to very large and enthusiastic
audiences. He also gave some highly
successful concerts in connection with
the famous Bohemian string 'quartet.
Malek is not only known as a vir-
tuoso of extraordinary ability, but his
remarkable gifts as an instructor ad
orchestra leader have been much
sought after and he has occupied an
enviable position in the Eihelberg con-
servatory in Berlm, and was also the
"Kappellmelster" of the celebrated
Strauss orchestra of Berlin.
Malek’s concert .cun be looked upon
.in the music history of Prague as a
most wonderful event. His previous
success in Vienna swelled to a won-
derful hymn of the victorious art at
his concert given here. Never before
was the great hall so crowded. The
enthusiasm knew no bounds. The
young pianist compelled the otherwise
always cool and reserved peole to a
most ’ flattering aplause, the like of
which has never been heard here be-
fore. Malek is, notwithstanding his
youth, already an artist who wholly

Earl Walker’s Benefit.
It is customary at the end of every
theatrical season to give the treasurer
an annual benefit. On this occasion
Manager Walker, of the Hancock opera
house, has tendered the use of the the-
ater and the Chas. Lister company, the
attraction for that night, on wlh oc-
casion they will appear in their funny
and great comedy "Under Stars and
Stripes." The seats are now on sale
at the box office and the price of ad-
mission is fifty cents. Don’t forget this
as it will be one of the present past
theatrical season.

"Texas” is not a melodrama in any
sense of the word, despite the thrilling
climaxes in Act III. It is a big, broad,
wholesome play, dignified in treatment,
spirited in action, teeming with breezy
comedy, and pulsing with sentiment,
affection and love.
Broadhurst & Currie, the well known
New York managers, are sponsors for
"Texas,” and have staged it splendid-
ly. The cast is also one of universal
excellence, being headed by Robert
Conness in the part of Jack Dallam.
Mr. Conness is an actor of fine pres-
ence, possesses a resonant voice, and
invests the role with a naturalness
which is most charming to behold.
Florence Lester plays Texas West, and
nightly adds to the laurels she has
gathered by her rendition of this part.
Other well known members are Ted
F. Griffin, Ernest Allen, Howard Missi-
mer, Louis Thiel, Marie Rawson, Lee
Hobbs Martin,-Stephen Hoyt and Ed-
ward Kellie.
