must be considered one of the big at
| fractions. She is bright and popular, is
surrounded by strong company, and
aided by splendid scenic production
of the play. Miss Emmett, since the
retirement of Lolita and Maggie Mitch
ell from the stage, is, undoubtedly. our
foremost coincidence; she is young
pretty, viyacious. and has that person.
| al magnetism in her acting that made
| the late Fritz Emmett so popular with
| the public; she sings sweetly, dances
daintily, and her years of practical
| stage experience has made her almost
| perfect in her art. In her new play

boy and as a girl, and is charming in
both characters. Killarney" her new
play, is from the long practiced pen
of Con T. Murphy, author of THE Ivy

abounds in comedy, and withal has a
| pretty love story running through it
| that makes it intensely interesting. The
scenic effects of the play are superb,
everything used in the production is
carried by the company.

Turk. The police or the soldier will
clear a street of a mob of men in short
order, but from one of women he will

ample to the world for true ,politeness.
The German is grave and ponderous
in his politeness: the French over
suave: the English make no pretense At

must be capable of keeping well the
wife that he takes. The harems were
not so bad as they have been painted,
