The trouble between Al. Hayman and
Charles E. Locke i'll regard to the prices
to be charged in the California tour of the
Emma Juch Opera company, is likely To re-
suit in legal fight. Mr.. Locke insists on
g prices, while Mr. Havu an no DIS out for
50, the same as charged here and in other
cities.
1t is said that William Harris, who SUP
ports Mile. Rhea in "Josephine,n playing
the role Of Maj oleon, has managed to OBJ
tain from a collector of antiques in this
city genuine chapeau which once pro
tected the head of Bonaparte. Mr.. Harris
wears the hat during two acts. 1T has only
been lent TO him. and he is very careful
OF it--New York Exchange.
Mrs. Burnett is now charged with having
plagiarized Little Lord Fauntleroy'' from
an older story b. Mrs. It. A Win
throp, called "Wilfred." There are said to
be remarkable similarities in the two
books. Mrs. Burnett's work has always
horI the stamp Of mar ed origin al ty 1t
is more reasonable to suppose that the
resemb ances are merely c)incidental than
that a writer of such fertile resources and
honorable position should stoop to pIagiar-
ism.
Daniel Bandmann has been abusing Mrs.
d. p. Bowers through the congenial avenue
afforded by the gutter press of San Fran
cisco. Up to the present time this Sullivan
of the tragic drama has contented himself
with using his Vicious and unbridled tongue
as the weapon of attack upon an estimable
actress, although 1t is a matter Of stage mis-
tory and English court record that Mrs
Rousby did not escape his brutal ruffianism
so easily. 1t is about time that Mr.. Daniel
Bandmann, who is cantankerous, litigious
aud generally Objectionable person, was
suppressed. We seldom hear of him except
il connection with some sort of row in
which he relies on his browbeating procliv-
tiles TO carry him through.-Mirror
"You rather exaggerate the fall-otf in
the Booth receipts at the Broadway the
atre," remarked Frank Sanger. 1.-The
night the house looked so bad to you there
was s. 300 in it. That was not good house
for Booth and Modjeska, l must acknowl-
edge, but it was their own fault. 1 pro
tested against 'Richelieu' being kept on
second week. New York will not stand
these chestnuts for so long time. They
wanted to keep The Merchant of Venice
on two weeks, but this time my protest
was effective. Hamlet will draw big
money; much more than any of the others
Will the engagement be prohtable' Well,
the theatre will make money. Whether
Mr.. Barrett can do so I cannot say. If it
is true that Mr.. Booth is paid one-half the
gross receipts for his services, then they
must play to $4,000 a week to meet ex-
penses. So far orr business has averaged
sl4, coo a week. This is far beyond what
they did at the Fifth Avenue theatre last
year '-Jotu nal.
