 Marie Wainwright's principal reliance for the coming season is an original four
 act play by A. E. Lancaster and Julian Magnus, entitled "Daughters of Eve. '' It will be generally remembered that nearly eighteen years ago these authors collabor- ated on that extremely strong and inter- esting play, "Conscience," one of the
 most noteworthy productions of the Shook and Palmer management of the Union Square theater. The success of this piece was one of the entering wedges for the American dramatist. Lancaster and Mag nus have not written together since then until now, and their again working in uni- son should be promise oi something strong and worthy. It is understood that Miss Wainwright has a dual role of twin sisters. The scene is laid in England, and the treat ment is said to entail novel and bold handling of the ''sex against sex'
 question. Miss Wainwright's company includes Nathaniel Hartwig, J. Keefe, Ed . win Walters, Edwin Poland, Cecil Mag nus, Alfred Burnham, John Borden and Misses Dale, Northern, Bromley, Thorn ton and Hoyt.
 Nat c. Goodwin has resolved commend ably not to get the list of ore part actors, or even On the list of actors that act only one line of parts. While at his coun- try place in England this summer he gave much attention to the character of David Garrick, which he will include in his re- pertory this season. Those that have noted the range of MT. Goodwin's acting it extends from hilarious comedy to in- | tense pathos-ex pee. he will play with much fnesse and the diversified scenes of | this charming comedy drama.
 Richard Mansfield has changed his mind. Instead of producing 'Japhet in Search ol | a Father" on the first night of his engage ment at the Herald Square theater, on | September IT, he will stage "Arms and the 1 Man.n He has added Mrs. Mckee Rankin and Amy Busby to his support.
 | Harrison Grey Fiske, proprietor of the Dramatic Mirror, returned on Friday from his annual trip to the Adirondacks. AS editor of the Mirror, dramatist and trus- | tee of the actors' fund, MT. Fiske exercises | potent and beneficial influence on theatri- cal affairs.
