offer to play an engagement in Berlin

week in the year on guarantee If
she wanted to do so.
Lewis Morrison is playing to such
large audiences that there is no neces-
Sity for him to appear in repertory.

William A. Brady will clear over $780,
600 on their enterprises this season.
Frederick Warde has built planta-

engaged for it Edgar L. Davenport,
Joseph Wheelock, w. F. Cosby, Ruth
Carpenter Louise Galloway and little
Anna Mclaughlin.
Joe Kenney, advance man for Cor
bett, is one of the most successful
agents on the road, and knows the
show business backwards. He has
struck a good crowd to represent, and
between them, bad business is inpos-
Sible.
In Edgar L. Davenport, Jacob Lift
has secured one of the cleanest and
best actors of the age. He is player
of rare talent, and the old-timers see in
him many traits of the wonderful talent
which characterized his noble old
father.
James O'Neill began his tour this sea-
son in Canada and has been moving
South ever since He has played in
the principal cities in "Virginius" and
Monte Cristo'' On Monday, Jan, q,
he began an annual engagement in
Cincinnati.
CLYDE Fitch thinks His Grace de
Granmont, in which Otis Skinner is

He has caught the atmosphere of. the
court of Charles as happily as he did
that of the Georges in Beau Brummel.
Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bellew' viii
sail for England in May. But they
are not going over to play. They say

for clothes. Bellew will tarry in Lon
don, and Mrs. Potter will continue to
Paris to convene with Worth =
Marie Wainwright will make brief
tour of the principal Canadian cities
in March. Her new play, Daughters of
Eve ought to be very attractive there,
as all the scenes are laid in England,
and all the characters, with the eX-
ception of an American boy, are Eng
lish.
Bert Coote, who is being starred by
Gus Frohman in 1.-The New Boy has
made a decided hit on the coast and
everywhere he has appeared. He is
peculiarly fitted for the character and
Mr.. Frohman is pleased with his sue
cess. Bert's many st. Paul friends
will see him here shortly.
Charles T. Darcy, the vigorous young
writer who like young Lochinvar
came out of the West, and who last
season sold to Manager Lift the most

melodrama of the present period, ''In
Old Kentucky has finished his new
American play. It is called 1.-THE
War of Wealth." is in five acts, pre-

quires an auxiliary environment to the
