TIE MOST IMPORTANT COMPANY
noN % ARRANGED for Is the one headed by Steele
Aackaye, ana including the members of the cast
Madison Square Theatre. The party is 10 open at
ileoley's On the 9th of June for season Of two
weeks and IS pretty certain Of hearty reception.

as hrst-rate artists. Aiken Padgett and coul-

play have spoken heretofore with mputeneBs,
and need only repeat that it is y wonderfully

sense. The story is OF intense interest and the
characters arc drawn with firnncss and dscrim-
nation. The company was selected especially for
the production Of this drama, aad is well fitted to
the task. A remarkably even and effective per-
formance was given in the Madison Square Then
tre here II cannot fail Of appreciation when
transferred TO- Chicago. The party will be man
aged by. Dan B. Hopkins, who is gentleman OF
large experience and extended ability.
The season at the Fifth Avenue Theatre will
close on Saturday night Of this week. Tic year
has not been successful one for this house flnan-
claly, although the six weeks run Of *'Fatinirza'
has pulled up the fortunes Of the place to con-
siderable extent There is vague sorl OF rumor
floating aroRnd that there 10 hitch in the nesotia-
tions between The Gilseys and Max Sttakosca. 1t
is said taat the willy manager swears he will be
eternally choked before he'll put up any security
for the rent, or comply with some OF the other
ditions OF the cast-iron lease which the Giseys
have sent him to sign. II that is true, there is
strong probability that they will have to come
around to Harkins and his hackers, who will then
be able to dictate their own terms. That would be
rather funny denoucment to all the bluster and
bravado which the GliseYs have exudcd concerning
their property Hnrkins Is not at all anxious to

DR.. HAMILTON GRIFFIN,
tho rotund and inflated step father Of Nary Ander-
son. has been at some OF his clumsy advertising
tricks again. This time be took rather novel
COURSE aud it he had followed ont the original de-
sign he might have been something ahead on his
speculation. Archie Gordon is bright and witty
writer whose lucubrations In the Dramatic Ne4cs
have attracted much attention and praise. But.
like many men OF Letters, he is cseduions and upon
play. IN short, be ''went through" Gordon like

advertising and the horse, all without spending d
