The contrasts among these performers reach "a
srrat a difference rs that between John Drew
And steve Brodie. Each Of these extremes will
mfr a piece not yet acted in this city; and Il Is
b be hoped that the opposition Ia art and bust
ness involved in this simultaneous shining OF
the two stars may create no acrimony. Mr.. Drew
should allow 10 himself no professional jealousy
OF the younger and newer comedian: and, even
though Mr.. Drew's followers should tilt their
noses at Mr.. Brodie. the p~artisans OF Mr.. BrodIe
,holld not permit themselves 10 smash those
poses. We must have no repetition of the For
rst-Ntacrcady riots.
The piece to be produced at the Empire on
Tuesday for John Drew Is called 1.-THE Bauble
Shop" and 1t has already achieved a London
success. Henry Arthur Jones Is the author.
Thc character for Mr.. Drew Is that of q Member
OF Parliament, who undertakes the ruination OF
an innocent, conlding girl at the very time that
be champions a bill for tho restraint of public
Immortality. His relations with the girl do not
become as wicked as he at first meant them to,
for he repents OF his purpose, and. in the end,
mhrries her. Meanwhile, his misdolngs are as
certained by his political enemy, who makes n
hateful and almost disastrous use OF the knowl-
edge. Maud Adams is 10 be the endangered
maiden, and her role. as well as the one played
b. Mr. Drew. is wholly in a serious vein. Others
IN the cast are Agnes Miller, Elsie DE Wolf. and
j. T.. DOuSDn. VI course, the usual nlCetleS OF
an Empire representation are expected.
To serve the purpose OF exhibiting Mr.. Brodie
end his kind of life, a play entitled "on the
Bowery'' has been written by some author too
modest or too proud to let the public know who
heis. II does not follow thai the work Is q bad
example in Its class. The critics in several cities
where it has been performed say 1t is rather good
IN some Of Its depletion Of Bowery characters
and scenes, and that its episode of Brodie's drop
from the Brooklyn Bridge excites all beholders.
The Fourteenth Street has Mr.. Brodie and his
pay ready for tomorrow nights audience.
Edward II. Sothern was once n pupil OF Steve
Brodie. and took instruction from him in Bow
err tough speech, preparatory to acting the part
OF an east-side burglar. and In 1.-The Victoria
Cross" at the Lyceum, one of the best OF the
comedy passages is that in which the actor sings
RChevaller costermcugcr dltty in a London dia-
slang. The Victoria Gross" is hlled choke full
OF many sorts of things. from the %farcical to the
melodramatic, and Mr.. Sothern's legion vf adj

Della Fox's other name at tho Casino Is THE

improvements. while Mr.. Furst has further
