hero OF hundred escapades and one or
Two tragedies. He was Tor long time
the principal actor of the stock company
at the Union Square Theatre during the
Shook and Palmer regime, and it has
been some time since he was seen Ia q
New York production. He is now playing
the leading role in Belasco and DeMiIle' 8
play, Men and Women at Proctor's
Theatre, Twenty-third street.

Madison Square Theatre under the sup
position that that was the place where
tie fancy horsefiesh was being exhibited.
