played her first terpsiehoresn abilities and
kept the passengers and sailors constantly
amused by her wonderful dancing. No one
had seen anything like il, and no one could
make the little lady keep still for IN III
stant. She was always on the 90, and 10
she neared New York the cold northern air
seemed to stimulate her native vivaoity.
One thing distressed her Rreatly-she could
not speak a word of English, and II wss
some weeks before she could play with the
little Americans.
In New York the little savings Of the fam
lily rapidly melted away, and DR.. Ever re-
turned to Chilli to resume his practice.
MRS. 4 wsr remained in New York with her
Ave children. of whom La Regaloncita was
the eldest. Things went from bad to worse
and it seemed impossible for the little FAM

here the trouble began. Mr.. Gsrly
heard of it and wrote Mrs. Ever that Mil.
drsd's grandfather, the Rev. DR.. Ever.
was his warm personal friend. and he could
not think of allowing her to disgrace an
honorable name by going IN the stage,
From that moment the fight was on. La
Regaloncita was taken to the thsster, and
two agents of the society were there to take
the child into custody the moment she ap-
peared before the footlights. There was
no performance, but the energetic manager
threatened to bring suit against Mr.. Gerry
unless every child WAS withdrawn from the
stage in New York city. The next
night Lillian Russell. at the Garden
theater, received u telephone message from
the president of the Society for the Preven-
tioa of Cruelty to Children that she must
stop tho twcnty odd children in her com,
pany from singing or dancing. The beauty
of the opera WAS marred and Lillian Russell
was angry. The next day abe offered the
children a benefit and set to work to arouse
tho managers of the different theaters.
week later a meeting was called at A. Nj.
Palmer's office. and half a dozen manage,
were sent to Albany. where they met Mr..
Gerry and his agents in open debate before
the assembly and rotus ned home victorious.
But La ReRaloncita could not wait for
the lst of September, and u fund was raised
in her behalf to test the constitutionality of
the then existing law. She danced one night

TWO FARCES IN CONTRAST.

sion by Rosenfeid-.John r. Sheridnn's

The extremes OF popular farce were illus
trated in two new plays on the New York
stage last evening. One was nearly com edy.
at the Standard Theatre. aud tho other was
almost variety show. at the Biiou. The neat.
or and sm oother piece OF fun was The Family
Circle" ut tho Standard. 1t had boon written
originally in French by Alexandra Iisson. but
the English version had been made
by Sydney Rosenfeld. The author had
worked out comically instead of seriously.
and with much ingenuity OF incident and
cleverness OF language, the idea OF perfectly
innocent bridegroom accused OF numbering
former wife. Tho adapter had changed the
characters to Americans and placed them
In New York city and Newport. He
had accumulated some of tho minor ones
and impaired his own peculiar popularity to
all OF them. Tho net result OF the joint efforts
OF Bison and Rosenfed was a laughuble en-
tertainment. lieht. nonsensical. and OF no
other account than to DO amused with and
forgotten. 1t had its due and full effect OF
mirth on It's first Now York audience. and no
deeper impression than that could have been
expected OF 1t.
