DRAMATIC NEWS AND NOTES.
CONFLICTING Ftrst Nights In Two

penalNe GOMna.

Two theatrical openings last night,
after a day of exhausting heat. made
many old playgoers weary. The early
part of the week was comparatively
cool. but there was nothing at the
theatres. And after nine or ten
weeks holiday two big attractions select
the same night for opening, and that
night turns out to be a scorchcr. 1t
was one of the little ironies OF life. and
very uncomfortable one. 81 can't
help Della Fox selecting Thursday"
said Charles Frohman, "it doesn't make
any difference to me. Last year II was
juet the same. We played against each
other. The Academy nearly always
opens It's season on Thursdays. and I In
tend to make my productions there each
year at just about the eame time-the
last Thursday in August. So that's Il
warning. My plans have been known
for long time. l don't keep them
