Our specially engaged ten thousand
dollar staff StatiStican has discovered
that there are seven stock cOmpanies
among the New York theatres, aud that
the seven leading ladies were born In
six different countries. They are as
follows: Miss George Cayvan OF the
Lyceum, and Miss Sidney Armstrong Of
the Twenty-third street Theatre, the
United States; Miss Agnes Booth Of
Palmer's, Australia; Miss Ada Rehan
Of Days, ireland; Miss Marie Tempest
OF the Casino, England; Mrs. Annie
Yeamans of Harrigan's, The Isle OF
Man, and Miss Thea Wolf of the Am
burg, Germany.
The gOssips on both sides Of the At
lantic are whispering about an cary
dissolution Of the professional alliance
between Henry Irving and Ellen Terry.
The fact that Mr.. Irving has engaged
Jessie Milnard and Amy ROsele as uu-
derstudieS for Miss Terry is made
known. 1t is said that the immediate
cause Of the decidedly strained rela-
tions between the two principals of the
Lyceum Theater is professional jeal-
ousy. Mr.. Irving is jealous of Miss
Terry's popularity with the audience,
Mr.. Irving's success In society.
Nothing Is easier, SAYS the New York
Recorder, than TO eulOgize the great
actors OF the past, and sneer at the
efforts Of contemporary players. Yet
IL is highly PROBABLE that the much
Wanted great actors OF past day
would not be tolerated upon our stage,
and in comparison with the actors Of
to-day, their art would be very crude,
ineffective and artificial. Never in the
history Of the stage, throughout the
world, has there been a time when
there existed so many good actors as at
the present.
Bill Nye's ''Cadr' has attracted the
attention, not only Of theatre-gOers Of
New York, but OF others who have
rarely evinced any interest In theatri-
Gals. The comedy is an entire novelty,
q radical departure from anything ever
presented TO the American public, and
the measure Of its success is highly
gratifying TO all who are concerned in
il.
The last nights performance in New
York was made memorable through the
fact that the American Wheelmen
bought the entire house, including bal
cOny and galley, at the uniform price Of
Sl.50 per seat.
Leonora Bradley, the leading lady Of
the burglariStic drama, The Stow
away," claims that she has never had
any money or jewelry stolen from her
hotel or dressing room, and that she
was never the heroine Of a midnight
fire. As Miss Bradley has been an &C
tive participant in dramatic productions
for a number of years, she is entitled TO
the thanks Of a grateful public for keep
ing of the beaten track OF Hires and
orObberies" to achieve nOtoriety. Miss
Bradley, by the way, is a very capable
acresS.

At 4 recent benefit given on Sunday

A dozen or more prominent managers
I'D sctors have been forced to abandon
work temporarily on account OF the
,rID Theatrical folks oyereStimate
tbair movers of endurance and take des-
rerats chances when they should con-

Contracting a slight cold, which IN nine
cases ont of ten is apt TO develop more

Notwithstanding the fact that there
have been shows at the Opera House as
GOOD As can be found there have been
some attractions that deserve tate
something on the death order. Among

Ssve already given up the ghost, thanks
