week, bringing the well-known melodrama,
Across the Continent" to bear again on
our public. The piece is said to have been
played over 1900 times, and this tenacity of
existence argues strong vitality. Byron
himself has been before the American pub
lie for nearly twenty years as a sensational
actor, and, therefore, the man and his plays
are pretty well known. He puts in claim
TO be considered one of the leading sensa-
tional actors Of The period, and ''the great
exponent OF American melodrama of the
best and cieanest type" The management
will make every effort to insure the engage
ment success. We notice that MIR. James

When Rhea Comes.

One Of the points to be decided when
Mile. Rhea, the Belgian actress. returns to
the Baldwin next week is in regard to i'm
provement in her pronunciation of En-
glish. 1t is claimed she is clearer in her
delivery of the vernacular, due to greater
elaboration in utterance On the other
hand, the Chicago America-very good au-
thority-says in recent issue: 1T is to be
regretted that Mile. Rhea cannot learn the
English language. She seems to be an
earnest and conscientious actress, with a
good deal in her favor; beauty, a charming
voice, exquisite taste in dress and, it is be-
lieyed, considerable ability. Unfortunately
this last quality has always been masked
by her foreign accent, which renders her
absolutely unintelliglbe at times, and
which always mars her work"
