heat things, for it's cold day when he
gets left. The performance is well
spoken of elsewhere. Pretty, shapely
Louise Dempsey, who always makes q
hit here, with her well filled tights and
comic songs, is with the affair. A lot
of speciality artists, including some clever
French acrobats, are among the attrac-
tions. as also whole bevy Of "fairies,
who do q Nautch girl dance, which is
described as very fetching. Altogether
the show should draw large patronage.

| Mr.. Robson's business in Washington
last week with She Stoops to Conquer,
was phenomenal. 1t is not likely that
| any OF the old comedies has ever been
played to such large receipts. The mu-
sicians were turned out OF the place at
nearly every performance to make room
for camp-stool patrons.
A friend writes that when the birds
| OF paradise come to India in the nut
meg season, 'the strength of the nutmeg
SO intoxicates them that they fall
down." The birds of paradise in the
profession this side of the world get
their nutmeg from the fluffy top of
brimtul goblets of milk, and they, too,
fall down.
Arrangements have been completed

After being spliced the couple will fly
to San Francisco.
Robert E. Graham, alias Baltimore
Bob, has written an opera, which Man
ager Greenwall OF New Orleans promises
to bring out next season to star Bob in.
But the opera is the stupidest ever con-
ceived by mortal, and Graham himself
is as graceful as log of wood. Green
wall, however, never keeps his word, SO
nobody is likely to get hurt.
He had played with Booth and Barrett,
Knew shakespeare all by heart.
Had sung in @ mic operas,
And could pantOmime part:
An adept on the banjo;
Could DO song and dance;
Too tickets on The gallery door,
And once went in advance;
Was leading man for twenty years.
And 1t seemed a shame to him
To have to throw part up, just
Because he couldn't swim.
In speaking of the opening Italian
opera night in New York Mr.. Dunlop
Gays: The boxes were filed with the 400
in bare back, unmarked bosoms and
perfumed shoulders. Waists were cut
low-to the line of degradation--and
buds, bellies, young married women,
wrinkled up spinsters and fat old gran
nies with bulging pocketbooks, gossiped
and snickered without flicker of shame
or blush of modesty.
In reference to lone Dunham's $780,
600 inheritance in Elmira, the ground
floor facts seem to be that-"Dunham
father of lone Dunham's husband, died
suddenly few weeks ago. Being di-
vorced from his wife, his son inherits
his property, which amounts some $780,
600 on a most liberal calculation. This
son and husband of 'Ione' is serving a
sentence in Elmira reformatorv for
forgery and vagrancy." Alas poor
lone !"
The offer made by the National Con-
servatory of Music of $1,000 for the best
opera comique, it is hoped will bring
out good material enough to show that
a theater in New York solely for that
kind Of entertainment might succeed.
There are quite variety of terms used
incorrectly to characterize just the kind
OF opera meant, but the technical def
milton of opera comique is an opera
where the denouement is a happy one,
and where the musical numbers are con-
nected by spoken dialogue. The term
operetta is entirely wrong. An operetsa
is short piece, always in one act;
writing about an operetta in two acts is
an anomaly.

1t is all right for some writers to jab
Charles H. Hoyt, but all the same he
is the marvel of the century. He has
written ten plays, each one of them
success, and he is yet looking for his
thirty-first birthday. These ten plays,
or rather nine of them, for "a Temper
ance Town" has not yet been produced,
have made over million of |
dollars. OF course Hoyt hasn't |
all that money, but five other people
have, or are making fortune out OF !
them, and Mr.. Hoyt himself has ne doubt |
