written byJ. j. McCloskey, author of s'Across

horses.
Bill Nye's farce comedy, "The Cadi," pro-
duced In New York recently, with Thomas
u. Seabrooke in the lealing role, was
not bowling success. 1t has no plot, and is
not as funny as it might be. 1t is devoid OF
horse play and yulgarlty, however, and con
tains enough quiet humor, it is thought, to
make is go fairly we'll on the road by the aid
ofBill Nye's name and the strong cast given it.
Mr.. William f. Pruette, the well-knoyn
baritone OF this city, has been engaged by
Manager Aronson, OF the New York Casino,
TO sing leading role in the Casino version of

fortunate In securing Mr.. Prpette's services
His splendid baritone will go far to make the
Casino production of MascagDi's popular
opera an emphatic success.
Richard Mansfed's latest essay at tragedy
seems to have been no more successful than
his former one in "Richard ILL., He ap-
peared in T. Russell SulliYans new play,
'Nero," al the New York Garden Theatre
Monday night last, and it is said he made the
crazy Emperor sort of Roman Mr.. HYDE, all
responsiveness and without a spark of genial
ity. 1t will be remembered that was Mans
fields great fault in both "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. HYDE and in "Rchard III" The new
tragedy appears not to have impressed the
audience fayorably at the first production.
