Z" places outside Of the saloons and va.
r'e'y theaters where people withoutfamilie,
Can spend their evenings. They now find il
'heapef 20 pay fifty cents for Il seat in the

good, clean play better thar speciality acts
and unclean afte pieces Hence the gallery
is filled nightly.
MANAGER MAGUIRE is thinkingl seriously
OF enlarging the gallery, extending it to the
'front.' OF the building, as wal at first con.
templated. This would almost double the
capacity OF that part OF the house.
NINE. MoDJEsKA has eleven plays in her
repertory for this season. Most OF the
actresses in the field. find it difficult to OBJ
tain one to suit them, or that they can
play.
PATTI is going to make a farewell tour of
Europe and then retire, though she will, in
all probability, make one more visit to
America.
SARAH BERNHARDT has added IL dramati-
zation of Zola's dreadful novel, "Therese
Raquin,' to her American r%epertory. We
may escape the cholera, butnot these nasty
French plays, which the people so deprecate
and rush to see.

well-known comedian, Harry Beckett, has
been engaged by Mr.. DAILY for his company.
She is yet in London, just home from d
convent school,.
SALvIN1 will play "Ingomar" for the first
time in America this season. He ought to

f. II. VANDERBILT, Modjeska's new lead

height, earnest manner, and is about 30
years old. He was born in Warwickshire,
was a Shakesperian reader at 10, and took
to the stage at 81. His first appearance in
London was made in 1888.
"BEL-AMI,' the novel by Maupaussant
chat on its production a few weeks ago
called forth SO much criticism by reason Of
it's filth, is to be adapted to the stage by
the author in collaboration with William
Basnach. They AVE not as yet decided as
to what theateris likely to have a stomach
strong enough to swallow it.

ANNIE PIxLEY has a new Irish comedy
drama by Fred. Marsden, called LILLY" IN
which she assumes the part OF a young
Irish girl. This is decidedly a new de-
parture for Miss Pixley, but she is said to

'.ErLY' ought to be IA successful get
there, as it were.

HENRY E, ABBEY is willing to wager $l''
600 to 500 that Mary Anderson's SIX
weeks in New York will bring more thar
$40 900 into the Star heater Ihls
would be an average OF about $2,3oo a
NIGHT. Big business, even for our Natlona'
idol.
KATE FIELD says OF Jude: 81 saw mel
| often in Paris. l think she is very sreaC
| She has no voice to speak OF, but the lt1'e
sho hos she uses to the best advantage
| Her acting is vaudeville strictly and ID .nt
perfection OF finesse. She is justly ehtiVle'
to the great position she occupies as al
artist
Jrn1c is the rage in New York. Her ousl
ness is something phenomenal, even agalns'
Miss Anderson at the Star and Mafsare
