The HeraId's Hrize PLAY.

The one-act play, "HeartS," that won the
prize in the Herald's contest. will be pro-
ductd next month by L. Henry French. who
has paid a large sum for it, at the Garden
Tneater. Ten plays were awarded ''h0nor-
able mention" by the jury that examined
the sos oue-act pieces placed in competition.
The Herald does not know the Identity of
the author Of one of these, entitled Left al
the Post" 1t was written by Edwin Arden.
The eight other plays named IN the list were
written by Thomas Frost. Walter G. Bel
lows, Lottle Blair Parker, Frank c. Drake
Alfred Thompson, Edwin ). Belknap, son
OF David X. Bel6nap of this city, a. L.
Lancaster. Arthur hornblow, Kate Master
son and x. A. Farreily. In other words,
eight Of the pieces entitled to com
mendati0n were. sent in by professional
writers. This goes 10 show that the plant
that there is an excess of genius lying
around loose among unknown playwrights
who are unable TO obtain recognition is not
well founded IL mus: be remembered that

that IN their judgment seemed to be the best

others We shall be able, says the New

Young Salvini recently closed one Of the
most remarkable engagements ever played
by a new star in Philadelphia. and the bis
toric old Walnut-street Tbeater was crowded
every night to greet the ideal romantic
actor OF the present day. 1t was a wise
idea Oh the part of Manager Wilkison in
selecting this famous old playhouse ia
which to first introduce his star to Phila-
delphia audience. The names of all the
romantic stars Of bygone days are associ-
ated with the stage Of the Walnut-street
Theater, and they have preceded young
Salvni in precisely tie same line of parts
In which he was seen during his engage
ment there. This reminds ME Of the good
old days." an old-timer was heard to re-
mark in the lobby of the theater one night
when the house was packed To see Savini
memories of Fechter and Davenport
There's nothing like the old romantic plays
after all, is there?" he inquired OF his COM
panion. why. I'll bet the ghosts OF the elder
Booth, Wallack, Forrest, Fechter, Daven-
port and all the old-timers are lowering
around here tonight watching this perform
ance. Salvinis success In the old standard
romances has proven conclusiyely that there
is still a warm place in the affections of
theater-goers for these plays when properly
presented. Salvini has received as a gift
from Patti. by the way new adaptation of
the dramatic form Of "Csvalleria Rusti-
cana" 1t was made from the original by

"AlI the Comforts OF Home. !"

All the arrangements have been COM
pleted for the return to the California
Theater tomorrow night OF Mr.. William
Glllette's greatest comedy, "All the Com
forts of Home" This play from the very
start has taken its station in the front as
both highly popular and fashionable sue
cess. Its light character appeals to the
masses, who like TO be entertained. aud the
absence OF the cheap and common vein
which disfgures most plays OF its class has
given it a hold upon the fashionable world.
Neither is it without aim or moral, though
the moral is not obtrusive. Travesties on
the eccentricities and iufirmIties OF human
nature, which gain for their possessor
