Place to Play.

Nr. McClelland, Pauline Iall's domestic and
theatrical manager, strolled up Broadway
yesterday, looking as natty and agreeable as
anybody on the thOrous=- <5. A friend ap-
preached him, and, alluding to the subject OF
his marriage, which he has not yet admitted,
asked him point-blank II congratulations were
In order. To this Mr.. McClelland replied
smilngly: "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. 1t is to take
place next June, either at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre In this city or the fremont Theatre,
Boston.

author and the composer that she will not re-
veal It's action takes place in the time OF
Charles H.. and Miss Hall will play the part
OF a boy-a part that was not specially writ
ten for her, fortunately for the artistic value
of the opera. Frederick solomon will be II
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 afIable, educated young fel-
low, and uhis cannot be said Of every the

Miss sadie Martinot is still hunting around
for q 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-
ard" She will present the piece twice next
week, and will probably do It in Paris one OF
these days. Parisians, however, are not ac-
customed to get their wares second hand and
they may resent the innovation.
