been withdrawn from the boards OF the Union
Square Theatre. and tomorrow evening Mr. w. g.
Gpert's fairy comedy, "The Wicked World"
takes its place. Mr.. Gilbert's play is an
exceedingly beautiful poem, and It's successful
run In London gives assurance also tnat
it is an excellent acting play. The scenes
are all in fairyland-that land where
every fairy has mortal counterpart The fairies
have every gift except love- their love being only
sisterly affection. There is law in fairyland-an
old and almost obsolete statute-which permits
the mortal counterpars of such fairies as visit the
earth to be summoned to the fairy realms during
the absence of the fairies queen. Selene, accord
ingly, summons Sir Ethais and Sir Phillon to her
dominions during the absence OF iairy Ethais and
fairy Philon. The scenes which follow are the
earthly story OF desperate love and intrigue and
jealousy. At the end of rwenty-four hours the
fairies have had such experiences OF the blessing
OF love that after the mortals are dismissed they
refuse the gift which their king was about to
confer upon them. Miss Clara Morris is TO play
Selene, the Fairy Queen.
