Up to a week ago thirty-seven alleged theatrical
companies, which left New York at the beginning
of the season two months ngo, had returned to

Mr.. Booths Richard H." presented at Booths
last Thursday night, is critized having been in
the main sighted so as TO enhance the effect OF
one or two scenes particularly the dream scene.
II is also charged that especially since his return
from London, he devotes himself too much to the
pettier details, whereby he perforce slurs over
some of the great opportunities.

one piece all week occupies one of our theatres II
may be all very well for the orchestra to play the
same music every night; but when the bill is
changed nightly, ms has been the case during the
present week at the National the music might
well be changed-at least once or twice. People
grow tired of hearing the same thing every night
and nightly change of bill often brings the same
people to the house several times In the course
the week.

pect to see him give Fred Williams furlough tc
rccuperate. Cease writing and adapting plays
himself for his own house for n time, and hire a
new set of brains to furnish business for his COM

the Union. Ofcourse, managers who contracted
for Hazel Kirk" do not like 10 put up. with
"Won at Last" which Mackaye usually substi-
tules when he is permitted to do So In short II
"a FOOLS Errand," Mackaye and Tourgees play
does not meet with success in Philadelphia next
week, Mackaye will be practically ioored, for the
time being at least
