On the same day the great diva was criti-

Glen Mac Lvuoughs genuinely funny
farce, The Prodigal Father" has been
sold for England only to Willie Edouin,
who will star in it during the next season
or two. This is n pretty effective answer
% the New York critics who abused the
piece and asserted, with nothing more sub
stantial than quicksand as a foundation,
that Mac Donough had appropriated the
idea from a foreign skit. The same au-
thor's odd trifie, 'Delmonico's at 6, will
probably also be produced on the other side
within a few months The negotiations are
now pending through Miss Elizabeth Mar
bury, and there is little doubt that the mat
ter will be arranged

Mac DonOugh the ablest librrttist in This
country. At any rate he appears To nave

with him on Robin Hood - The Fencing

As Tom passed again through the emp
ty theater the sense of shock departed. A
live ache leaped within him. He walked
on, not needing or caring where his steps
led him. His throat was dry, n burning
sob far down in it that the man in him
beat back. He had been n fool, then:
An cgotistical dreamer?
Oh. the languor Of helplessness, the
haunting pain of overthrow and loss, the
repuSnance to the necessary effort of re-
adjusting his conception of himself and
his life! Those who have known this
feeling have tasted for one moment the
kernel of despair.
How can l tell Virginia." was his
weary thought.

Miss RUSSELL IN PRINCESS NICOTINE"
in speaking of the now opera, princess
| Nicotine" which Charles 4. Byrne and
| Louis Harrison wrote, and in which Miss
Lillian Russell has made her temperance
| at the Casino. The 50 called authors have
| stolen almost bodily the charming Spanish
| story entitled The Three Cornered Hat
! without word Of credit. and have dubbed
| it a comic opera.
The original story Is quite interesting
but the attempt OF Byrur and Harrison TO
adapt it to musical stage use has robbed it
OF its humor and supplied nothing in its
place.
1t would bc difficult 10 describe the plot
of the alleged opera. 1t is j1mble and a
tanElc Of all sorts of imro>~ihiliIicS. II is
true that much scope il given Ia Miss Rus
sell to put her personal charms and her
voice in evidence. As To the charms she
succeeded. The voice WAS also in evidence
but as much rs il may pain her thousands
of admirers to know il candor compels the
admission that it is not As sweet or as power
full or as true as it once WAS
w. w. Furst is the composer of the mu-
sic of Princes Nicotine" and to say that
it is his best musical work which has ever
been submitted TO the public is to do but
scant justice to this excellent musician.
Many of the melodies are charming. and
some Of them will become popular with the
masses. Several of the choruses are quite
elaborate and are given beautiful treat
ment, while the Orchestration in many
spots is worthy of Sir Arthur Sullivan's
best moments
The music labors under the great disad-
vantage of standing out at such distance
from its eNecrahly poor setting that it is
not appreciated 10y most persons as much
rs IL should be.
The cast is fairly good one, although
Perry AVerill, despite his sweet tenor voice
makes a very woodeny and, beside Miss
| Russells ample figure, a very insignificant
| hero. The Choru>es are well drilled. the
people are handsomely rrs'VHcl n2l alto
Gether the production is an exceedingly
elaborate one. II failure should blight this
venture, it will not be the fault OF the new
iessses Of the Casino, Mcssrs- Canary and
Lederer, who have done ell that any one
prise.
Princes \icotime' may. IN spite III all
draw backs, develop into one OF the hits If
the season, but doubt it greatly.

New York critics.
One Of the favored claims OF this clique is
that Patti j. no longer able To sing the high
