ment of Gabrielle Gerard"
The Jolliest and Most Genial Star
TO be Met.

The production OF Miss Blanche Mars
denis play, Gabrielle Girard, =" il was
snid yesterday, will be postponed for q
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 Sea King " is now occupy
ing that house, is reported to have de-
clined TO admit the inroad Of another
company, eve at n matinee performances.
His contract read that while he occupied
Palmer's he was TO occupy it exclusively.
OF course lie has right on his side, and
Theodore Moss cannot compel him 10
succumb. hut the proceeding was dis
cussed yesterday in n way that Mr.. Gil
more would not have appreciated. Mr..
Moss has offered the Star Theatre for
Gabrielle Girard." Rehearsals are to be
begun this week under the classic sur
VIGILANCE of David Bclasco, who comes
in from the country to take charge Of the
piece.

London, is the %iolliest and most genial

she is all dignity and majesty. Not q bit
OF it. She was always full of iun, and
even on the stage she was untamed. She
would pun faces at the actors and
actresses, and when her back was turned
to the audience she would indulge in all
sorts OF facial contortions. 1t wasn't dig
nified. but il was amusing. She had to
fall on the shoulder of one man. md she
invariably made n point of biting his
shoulder. II makes me smile when | hear
people talk of the stately, queen-like An

Manager Daniel Frohman is expected
from Europe at the end of next week, and
we shall then have news galore. Mr..
Frohman in his sedHte and unobtrusiVe
manner is q keen observer. He will have
made a 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 byT. Comyns Carr of " Les Femmes
Eeiveuses," secured by Mr.. Frohman for
this country. deals with the everlasting
mother-in-law. The heroine, who is q
meeklike wife. suffers from nerves. The
mother-in-law makes the husband Jealous,
and there are the usual hoisterous farcical
situations. in which everybody is at cross
purposes. Il
Miss Fay Templeton is positively here.
