than her head, and that Is pretty high These same
lanes are places for lovers walks, but Miss
Huntington says that had nothing to do with her
going there She docs not need any practice in love
making at present. because her new opera does not
reqnre her TO make love at ALL she had to do that
last winter in Paul JONES'" but now, in Captain
Thercseo the tenor will have to make love to her.
This same Captain Theresa IS By Planquette and
was written for Miss huntington has already been
made known here. She does not play the part Of man
this time: she is n woman who masquerades as man,
for the novel purpose Of saving her lover from some
one or more Of those dangers which stage lovers
always getting into The company that will support
Miss Huntington is nearly the that she had last
season. The tour will begin in Baltimore on october
10 and "Captain Therese" will not be in New
York til February, when it will come to the Fifth
Avenue Theatre if the theatre ready then 1t looks
now little as if this might be the opening attraction
for The hOnse.
Miss Huntington SAYS that the little difficulty be-
tween her friends in England and George Edwardes Of
the London Gaety Theatre is not quite settled yet.
Mr.. Edwardes wants TO pay per cent on money to
be advanced for the theatre Of which Miss Hunt
ingtOn to have the lease, and the friends want
ID or per cent. If it all ends in her not getting
the theatre she declares that she will have another
one as two sites have been offered her. Of them
within block Of Mr.. Edwardess new house. Further
than this she has little to say except that the City Of
Paris met exceedingly stormy weather, and she
does not want 10 any more Of the same kind.
