New York Sun, June 9th The recent re-
markable exodus of actors from New York
suggests the fact that dramatic people are
divided into three classes-those who go
abroad in summer, those who pass the vaca-

yacht as well. He entertains freely, and
comes back III the fall bronzed and improved

between Chicago, where a part of his COM
pany play every summer, and Stamford,
where Mr.. Sheridan Shook keeps open house

ton in the city, but prefers work to rest in
summer, and Is now repeating his metropoli
tan repertoire in Chicago. Charles R. Thorne,

Der opening in New York. Edwin Booth
