from her pen. When that talented lady
wrote the play Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
which was one of the most valuable pieces
of dramatic property ever seen in America,
there were so many glaring defects of con-
struction and such unmistakable evidences
of the novice that most of the critics Mt
tributed the plays wonderful success to
the accident of having catered to popular
dramatic appetite which demanded n GER
tain thing without caring whether it was
skillfully produced or not
1t was freely predicted that Mrs Burnett
would never write another money win
ner." When nonsuccess attended her
next effort in London the opinion of the
-croakers seemed to he confirmed. But
Loves Young Dream" has ovcrruled the
former verdict, for it is one of the most
delicately constructed curtain raisers in
existence. The atmosphere of purity and
innocence which pervades it makes it u
rare dramatic gem, and the dizziness with
which the subject is handled and tie
quiet, refined situations are developed
stamps Mrs. Burnett MS Il playwright of u
high order of merit. 1t is rumored that
she will soon present a serious four act
comedy, and its appearance will he look ed
forward to with great interest by lovers of
the drama
In Loves Young Dream" Wallie Ed
niger, one of the best of the child actors, re-
peated his triumph in 1.-THE Soudan," and
Ethel Black, a charming little tot of less
than six summers, gave evidence of n really
high order of dramatic ability. Her in
donation would be creditable in an expert
enccd player, and her self possession is little
short of marvellous.
AT the Star theater the liking of COM
edy," Joseph Jefferson, has revived Dion
Boucicault's version of RIP Van Win
kle," the play which first made him really
famous. 1t is unnecessary to add that the
revival was n marked success, and as the
season will be n comparatively brief one,
owing to the later bookings at the Star,
the advance sale of seats has been enor-
nous. 1t really does seem as though the
late lamented w. j. Florence must have
been inspired when he said ten years ago,
"Joe Jefferson will never get old"

perable barriers in the way of the successful
accomplishments of the task imposed upon
her by Mr.. DAILY.
Butwhat made the occasion. as far ms
Miss Rehan was concerned. ineXpressibly
sad were her stupid and abortive efforts
to be kittenish. Miss Rehan looked as
though she might easily be the mother of

tray, and in the relentless desire to appear
Ingenious and 'sou brettish" she makes her
first entrance, having just come from col
lege, after a long ride on the railway train,
in II white satin affair so draped as to con-
ceal as much US possible tho always in
evidence amplitude of figure. Little Miss
Million" was disappointing. Miss Ada
Rehan as wild young schoolgirl, who is
addressed rs little" CD by her aunt, is de-
pressing in the extreme. There was many
sigh of regret that this sterling actress
whose abilities are as undiSputed as the
brightness of the sun, should have been
dcluded or forced into accepting n part
more suited to II fifty dollar IL week i'll

Naturally Mr.. Arthur Bourchier, who is
to take Mr.. John Drcw's place, as nearly
rs any one can do that. was closely watched.
He appears to he an actor of considerable
force and more than ordinary ability. He
and in personal appearance, burning Il some
what blase look, is all that can be desired,
being tail and rather handsome, with eX-
prcssive eyes and mobile features. But as
John Drew's successor and measured by
that standard, he is aG Mercury to the sun,

Daly's theatcr, but there are few-very

magnetism, naturalness and versatility of
John Drew. Mr.. DAILY, l think, realizes
this to greater extent just now than any
man in the world. kokos song in 1.-The

Drew, for he is not OH the DAILY list, and
he always will be missed.
