NOTES.
Germans Spectacular Minstrels will be the
first entertainment in the Pops.
Booth and Barrett are to appear together
in new play next season. Just what this
new play will be is uncertain at present, but
there is good authority for the statement
that Mr.. Barrett has purchased new trag-
edy in blank verse from William Young,
author of ''The Rajah." The scenes of the
play are laid in Corsica during the ninth
century.
Charles Wyndham, the English actor, is
arranging for an American tour next season,
opening at the Globe Theatre in Boston. 1t
is expected that David Garrick" will be the
only play presented, and in S.. Louis and
Cincinnati one or two performances of the
play will be given in German. Among other
attractions, which are to visit America next
year are Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, and Wilson
Barrett. Mrs. Bernhard Beere contemplates
a trip TO this country.
