SEDLEY BROWNS A" PINE MEADOW

Pine Meadow" comedy drama By ssdlsy Brown.
produced yesterday at an authors matinee at ths
Madison Square Theatre is far better play THAI b
often seen for the first time late m Season
In both construction aud dialogue Mr. Browns rrss
effort is decidedly mstorious and the errors he h,s
made chiefly due to desire TO do too much.
Like ali young authors, he INDUCES in an unneoessss1
amount of explanatIal, a tendency that was "a.
ticulariy marked IN the last act.
The plot Is not stTfhngy original, out several
strong situations have been devised. and after tn
story had been once fairly started, about the accom-
psh1ng Of which there was little delay, the acton
moved smoothly, swiftly and interestingly. Its main
theme is the betrayal by q mock marriage Of the
younger daughter Of New England farmer. her con.
sequent suffering and shame. her ultimate Fehabita
ton, and the punishment OF her betrayer. That
this Is o wel-wom idea must be evident, but fresh
interest Is given TO It In the working OF tho subj plot
which shows how the herones elder protects and
chershos her. This elder sister even goes so far a.
to acknowledge her own the presumably ilegiumss
child and By 20 doing drives her lover from her At
the close Of the play MI Brown has dispensed poet
zeal justlces with slightly too lavish hand, and he
has erred In making his villain almost impossiby
vanous and heartless. One scene, in which the
heroine, who has become blind, has her child stolca
by It's father while she is unconscious Of the theft
afforded Of the strongest passages. Tho dialogue
Is generally terse and well written and possesses
moro individuality than Is usually found IN q nrss
attempt at dramatic writing.
carefully selected cast has been gathered By Mr..
Brown, who himself played The principal comedy part
In his accustomed neat and amusing manner. sheri-
dan Upper and Ms Sol Smith could scarrelY hays
been improved upon the old farmer and his WIFE,
Miss Ethel harrington, though at first somewhat weak
improved she went and IN the later acts was
natural and sympathetic the injured heroine Her
strongerminded sister found an efficient representa-
tive in Miss Selma Fotter Miss Henrietta CrossmAn
bright and spirited In tho comedy part the Princi-
pal scenes of which lay with her husband Mr. Brown.
The hero sgreeaby acted by David NJ. Murray, and
Harry Courtaine gave breezy and enjoyable por-
tralture Of retired colonel, Possessed OF spoHlvs
PLACED actor Charles Norris, who WAS not able 70
give 20 the villain sufficient cold-6loodednoss and de-
termination
An audience largely composed of professional peo-
pie spplauded the piece and welcomed the actors with
great enthusiasm. The author was called out 81 tho
close Of the third act and the curtain was raised on al
the company after che end OF the plsy.

A MENACE OF WAR.

The course Of Russian intrigue in Servia is
alarming Austria and bringing small war
cloud into the furthest reaches Of the European
sky. A dispatch from Constantnople states
that the Porte has been advised from Vienna
that the present hostility of the Regents in
Seryia will be regarded as caSus belli unless
the good Offices Of diplomacy can be employed
to effect a speedy change. The Regents are
Russian partsans who are opposed to Austrian
ascendancy in the frontier Kingdom. They
have supplanted King Milan's German advisers
are Indifferent TO the fate of the unfortunate
boy King, and are thoroughly In sympathy with
the secret aims of Russian diplomacy, one Of
which is a change of dynasty in Servia Aus
tra naturally Nsents the entertainments made
in her own domain by her chief rival in South
eastern Europe. Intrigue has followed intrigue
until welI-nfor1ned students Of the Eastern
Question are now expecting some sudden crime
and catastrophe, Hike the murder Of the young
King. Austrian war-talk follows naturally and
il is reasonable to regard the situation in SerVia
as critical and possibly fraught with momentous
consequences TO Europe.
The menace of war will be speedily dspelled
Il Germany and Italy reinforce the demands Of
Austria for cessation Of hostile intrgues
against her in Seryia. Undoubtedly Russia
will have recourse TO diplomatic expedients II
threatened by coalition Of the three great
Empires War is not what the st. Petersburg
circle of Imperial advisers are anxious 10 bring
about. They desire treaty Of partition with
Austria by which the Balkan can be divided,
share and share alike, between the rival En-
pires Such intrigues and plots as were insti-
gated with Russian money and influence in
Bulgaria a few years ago were designed to
harass Austria and 10 force the Emperor TO
agree to secret compact for the occupation of
Conssantinople and Salonica. Seryia Is better
field for such operations, because Austrian in
| duencc has prevailed there since the war Of
| 1877. Russia seams 30 be going as far as abe
