Mr.. Louis James's abrupt withdrawal from the
company OF Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, which was'n noted
IN the Times of Thursday, was cccasoned by
serious difficulty between the star and his leading
performer. Mr.. James has occupied the post of
chief support 10 MIR. Barrett for number OF years
and has built up for himself exceedingly solid
popularity. The relations between himself and Mr.
Barrett however, have at no time been extremely
cordial, fact owing, say the friends of Mr
James, to the extreme hauteur In which MIR. Barrett
Is accustomed to nfOd himself when travelling with
MS company through the country out Of this ami

which In the course OF time led to number OF I'M
pleasant differences AMI Mr.. James, while he is
silent as to the actual occurrence which caused him
TO sever his connection with the Barrett company,
says 1t was the eliminating difficulty OF long
series. Mrs. James, who is known upon the stage
as Marie Wainwright, will remain for the present In
me Barrett combination, bnt Mr. James will employ
himsef elsewhere during the remainder of the
present season. Thus far since his return to New
YORK he has been busted most OF the time with read
Ing number OF plays submitted to his consideration
with the Idea that he may desire to 10 starring I'm
some one OF them. II he should find lust what he
wants 1t Is quite likely that he will follow this course
later In the season as preparatory measure TO his
hrst regular tour OF the country on his own account
which Is to begin next September under the uana'
geTial control of Mr.. Frank Farrell
