for the Younger Salvini.

Henry Arthur Jones. whose play,
"The Bauble Shop" was produced at
the Empire Monday night. and whose
"NEasqueraders" will be introduced to
New Workers in November, Is coming to
this country next month. IL IL not his
first visit. lie was here a few year"
ago to superintend the rehearSals OF
Saints and Sinners when that play
was produced at the Madison Square
Theatre. BY the bye. 1t is Daniel Froh-
man, OF the LyCeum, and not Charles
Frohman. who has secured the Amcri-
can rights Of Jones's latest. "Thc Case
OF Rebellious Susan" Mr.. Frohman
says this IL "A comedy OF marital in
compatibility, as well as a character Of
comedy. The playwright has Jared very
well az far a. America IL concerned

The Middleman' having proved the
most pop.n d, Jones .r had one s awful
which he produced himself, and the
English verdict was accepted as final,
Itor America never saw this play. Jones

leaves a play until after II has been
launc he Then he packs up his goods
London from his feet.
The Kendals are hereto set us all
right again and look after the interests
o. this youthful country. They open
their season Monday night IN Chicago,
with revival Of "'rhe Second Mrs.
Tnn9ueray." after. which they produce
Political woman by an English Uni
versity man, will be seen later. Next
season-weep not--the kendals will rest,
and after that they are to have new
theatre in London, built by American
dollars.
The aerial ballet. which was such
dismal tiasco at koster g. Balls Monday
night, was carefully rehearsed for three
weeks. The management attribute Its
| failure to the extreme nervousness Of
the women employed In 1t. 1t may be
put on again: and 1t may not. At any
rate, no more risks will be taken. The
programme at this house IL too good to
he endangered by one ridiculous feature.
The Sardou fever is as persistent as
eyer. The French playwright Is now
alleged to be at work upon a play for
SalVlni the younger as well as for
dozen stars and half "A dozen managers.
So far, but one Sardou play has ma
| terialized. that really bought by Fanny
Davenport. Even that is really written
for Sarah Bcrnhardt, Miss Davenport
getting the American rights. When
will stars and managers tumble TO
their own absurdlty. BY the bye, Miss
Davenport has cancelled a good deal OF
her time, and viii not open her season
much before December. This delay IL
caused by the work that the new Sai
dou play Will entail
