1t is said about Mile. Rhea's new play,
Judith, that while certain episodes
arouse Jewish religious ceremonial and
the respectful admiration of strangers to
that faith for their dignity and beauty,
the play in all probability is regarded
by Jewish professors as inexcusable pro-
fanation. This is certainly awkward.

Leander Richardson's new novel, As
Ye Sow, has gone into its third edition.
"Why do you expend your ingenuity,
your faultless literary style and your re-
markable descriptive talents upon a set
of characters who are wholly evil?"
asked Eugene Field the other day, in
talking with the novelist. "When you
pick up newspaper" retorted Richard

train robbery?" "H'm," said Field.
Edwin w. Hoff, the young American
tenor who sings the title role in Robin
Hood at the Standard theater, has made
a very strong hit in the part and re-
ceives hearty recognition every time he
sings. Mr.. Hoff is particularly well
liked by feminine New Workers, who
watch for the nights he is to appear, and
then crowd the house to overlooking.
He is undoubtedly the best American
tenor now on the stage, and his pros
poets are as brilliant as his voice.
Fritz Emmett, Jr., is verify chip Of
the old block. More than that, if public
support and the public dollars are any
criterion, for public opinion is exceed
ingly laudatory and the public dollars
are flowing in rapidly. His business in
the west has so far exceeded any season
of his talented father, and his assump

shoes that this is to be noted as pleas

is the future duchess of Grafton.
Harry Lacy's new play, Jack Royal OF
the 92d, has created one of the dramatic
sensations of the season. The part OF
the hero is admirably suited to Mr..
Lacy's quiet, effective style OF acting.
The company with which he has sur
rounded himself is composed of capable
artists. The play is far superior, both
as scenic production and as dramatic
work, to The Still Alarm, in which Mr..
Lacy, as is well known, obtained lame
and fortune. There are several realistic
and spectacular scenes presented during
the play perhaps the strongest OF these
is that representing the interior OF the
Manhattan Iron works, showing the
casting of the Bessemer steel plates TO
be used in the construction OF the
United States monitors. This scene IS
