anybody on the thoroughlare. A friend ap-
preached him. and, alluding to the subject OF
his marriage, which he has not yet admitted,
asked him point-bank II congratulations were
In order. TO this MIR. McClelland replied
smilingly: 80 They are in order-more or less.
We keep em guessing" The happy man is
arranging big summer production for the
Pauline Hall opera Company. II Is to take
place next June, either at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre in this city or the fremont Theatre,
Boston.
Miss Hall has brand-new comic opera,
the name OF which she has sworn to the
author and the composer that she will not re-
veal. Its action takes place in the time OF
Charles H., and Miss Hall will play the part
Of boy-a part that was not specially writ
ten for her, fortunately for the artistic value
OF the opera. Frederick Solomon will be u
member Of her company, which will contain
some very good people. Miss Hall is at pres
ent in Philadelphia, where she has been sing
ing in LA Mascotte." Mr.. McClelland
alludes to the company with good deal OF
pride. He is an affable, educated young fel-
low, and tthis cannot be said of every the
atrical luminary) gentleman.
Miss sadie Martinot is still hunting around
for suitable theatre and occasion for the
presentation OF her play, founded on Incidents
in the life Of La Marquise de Pompadour. She
says that II she cannot find what she wants
here she will produce the piece in London.
Sarah says that she has never had as much
praise for any part she has played as has been
bestowed upon her work in " Pauline Blanch.

week, and Will probably do 1t In Paris one OF
these days. Parisians, however, are not &C,
customed to get their wares second hand and
they may resent the innovation.
The portraits OF Amelia Glover. the " city
Directory's" dancing girl, are now displayed
in the Broadway shop-windows in very curl
GUS frames. These are made OF old irayed-
out oakum door-mats, plastered, whitencd
and gilded. The effect is artistic and pecu-
liar.
The double stage OF the Madison Square
Theatre, which was thought to have been
abandoned, is used every night in the pres
entation OF "A Trip to Chinatown" While the
drawing-room scene is going on, the elabor-
ate white wood cafe reposes IN all its glory in
double stage, which is still in excellent work.
ing order. The scenes In "A Trip to China
town" by the bye are wonderfully solid.
There Is very little canvas about them. The
its real mirrors carpets, bric-a- brac and ac-
cessories, while in the cafe there are real
doors that will bang.
BY tho bye, Miss Arkwrignt retires from the
cast of "a Trip to Chinatown" after this
week, to be replaced BY Miss Queen vassar.
