They Comment on the Postpone
ment Of Gabrielle Gerard"
The Jolliest and Most Genial Star
to be Met.

The production Of Miss Blanche Mars
den's play, Gabrielle Girard. ~ It was
said yesterday, will be postponed for a
week, for reasons that seem TO be some
what deplorable. Theodore Moss was
perfectly willing that the play should be
presented at Palmer's Theatre, and gave
his consent. William j. Gilmore. how
ever, whose "Ses King" is now occupy
ing that house, is reported to have de-
clined to admit the inroad Of another
company, even at matinee performance.
His contract read that while he occupied
Palmer's he was to occupy il exclusively.
or course he has right on his side. and
Theodore Moss cannot compel him TO
succumb. but the proceeding was dis.
cussed yesterday in way that Mr.. Gil
more would not have appreciated. Mr..
Moss has offered the Star Theatre for
Gabrielle Girnrd. " Rehenrsals are TO be
begun this week under the classic sur
veillnnce of David Bolasco, who comes
in from the country to take charge of the
piece.
"R. !. p. Ia the seemingly irreverent
title of new burlesque that ia to be pre-
sented in Chicago very shortly. In case
of failure, the name may be appropriate Q.
Capt. Alfred Thompson, relieved from
the anxiety of the Madison Square Gar
den ballets, has gone to Chicago to look

Mary Anderson" said an actress yes
terday who played with Miss Anderson in
London, lis the jolliest and most genial
she is all dignity and majesty. Not bit
OF 1t. She was always full Of fun. and
even on the stnge she was untamed. She
would pull faces at the actors and
actresses, and when her back was turned
to the audience she would indulge in all
sorts of facial contortions. IL wasn't dig
nified. but II was amusing. She had to
fall on the shoulder of one man, and she
invariably made q point of biting his
shoulder. 1t makes me smile when hear
people talk of the stately, queen-like An
derson. She was like jolly schoolgirl

Manager Daniel Frohman is expected
from Europe at the end of next week and
We shall then have news galore. Mr..
Frohman in his sedate and unobtrusive
manner is keen observer. He will have
made n clear bird's-eye view of the'Euro-
pean theatrical world. and he will know
how to transmit it to his friends.
The story of Nerves." the adaptation
made by II. Comyns Carr of Les + emmes
Nerveuses, secured by Mr.. Frohman for
this country. deals with the everlasting
mother-in law. The heroine. who is a
meeklike wife, suffers from nerves. The
mother-in-l law makes the husband jealous,
and there are the usual boisterous farcical
situations, in which everybody is at Cross
purposes.
Miss Fay Templeton is positively here.
The Majestic had the honor of landing
her yesterday, with her nineteen little
trunks of clothes. Miss Tenpleton will
remain until Aug. 1s getting rid of her
French accent. upon which no duty was
charged at the Custom House. She will
then open at the Fourteenth Street Thea
