THERE is a stout and very norid young
papa in New York who is rejoicing with ex-
ceeding great JOY. Better than all his
triumphs as a manager is the news to Ben
Stern that Junior partner OF the same name
has been added to his family.

ONE of the painful things about IA Jolly

last season was that It was not jolly. Fannie
who is really capital comic-opera artist has
just returned from Europe and 1mparts the
cheering intelligence that she has new
piece called "Moily" in which she will take
the part OF a quick-wftted Irish girl.

EDWIN BoorH left New York last wednes-
day on board his friend E. C. Benedict's
yacht, for Green nwfch, Conn. After a brief
stay at Greenwich, he will go to Narragan-
sett Pier, and subsequently will proceed to
BuZZard's Bay, where he will be the guest OF
Joseph Jefferson. There has been no re-
vival of the talk Of Mr.. Booth going out next
season. and am sorry to have to stick TO
my belief that we have seen the last Of the
greatest actor Of his time upon the boards.
THIS is the time of the year when the star
actor has nothing better to do than to save
somebody from drowning or being run over
by infuriated horses. Miss Minnie Selig-

WILSON BARRETT is ono Of the few English
stars who will venture upon an American
tour next fall. He visited New York the
other day in order to look over the ground,
and will return IN time to open in Phila-

SINS" which he thinks will prove as good
play as "The Silver King" He has a new
American actress to show us in the person
Of Miss Maud Jererys, who he thinks makes
the finest Desdemosd he has ever seen.
While Barrett is not great actor, he takes
pains and has a strong sense Of the artistic,
therefore he will be welcome here.
By the way. Kate Castleton's character is

fact that she left $4,000 to her mother, and

INFANT phenomena are having . hard time
They can't brag any longer about their
tender years with impunity. If q 2O-year-
Did girl comes out as q sensational high
