Forty years ago it was the exceptional
clergyman who upheld it; today it is the ex-
ceptional clergyman who opposes it. The
principles of the movement have not
changed, but the churchmen have become
more enlightened, more receptive, to t he

declaration: There is neither Jew mol

is neither male nor female, for We are all

Miss Rehan's katherine is a great imper-
sonation, Judged not only by the standard
which she herself has established, but meas
ured with the same high standard OF Criti-
cisrns which have given lofty rank to the
Hamlet of Edwin Booth, the Othello of
Tomasso Saiyini. the Fedora of Bernh3rdt,
the Meg Merilles OF Charlotte Cpshman,
ard the Rip Van Wrinkle OF Joseph jefferson.
Brilliant as Miss Rehan is In modern
comedy, fascinating as she is as the
interpreter of the poetic and charming
heroine OF the pleasing and fanciful Shake
sperian comedies, in none of these does she
reach such a lofty height OF dramatic and
artistic achievement as she attains in the
role OF Katherine.
Here the full power, the most effective
force, the most dazzling briIliancy or her
undoubted genius are made manifest.
However critics may differ as to the artistic
value of her other impersonatious, there
can be but one Judgment, but one verdict
as to tie merits of her work in this most
difficult and severely trying role. II Miss
Rehan has done nothing else this one per
sonation would have given her lasting
fame and an honotabie rank in the list
Of those who have won permanent place
In the history OF the stage.
The Lafayette Square will be complete
in every detail tomorrow night, as the
carpets and draperies will be laid and
hung IN position.

hans repertoire OF plays, and ii now

They VIII Jointly Give an Unique
Performance at Metzerott'S.
Two kings of humor will appear at Net
zerott Music Hall on Saturday evening,
October 90, when the widely famed hu-
morist, Bill Nye, and his equally talented
co-entertainer, Bert Poole, the lightning
cartoonist of the Boston Herald, W Ill make
their bows.
The high character of the participants Is
sufficient assurance that refined and de-
lightfui programme viii be furnished.
Every one has heard of Mr.. Nye and read the
Illustrated humorous productions from his
pen, but this is the first season that Mr..
Poole has been Identified with him. The
entertainment promises TO be one of the
most unique that has ever been seen upon
the American platform
1t had been suggested to Mr.. Nye In
previous years that if his platform utter
ances were illustrated by humorous pictures
similar to those which have adorned bis
writings for the press that an element of
humor would be added to his platform work
that would be most mirth provoking and
irresistible,
A happy thought suggested a combination
of Mr.. Nye with one OF the most expert
cartoonists of the country wbo is himself
a most entertaining humorfst with the
pencil. This combination will give the
public the first Illustrated humorous enter
tainment to be given in this country and at
the same time MIR. Nye will be seen at all
times while furnishing his part Of the enter
tainment.
1t is generally known that Mr.. Nye'is a
horny-handed son of toll, who In summer
time cultivates a large farm In North Caro-
lima and In the winter time. as he says.
goes upon the platform IN order to make
his farm pay. The chief subject, there
fore, Of hts remarks on this occasion win
be Farming Exposed" when he will give
the public the benefit Of vast amount OF

CISSY'S FAMOUS WINK.
It Has Made the Fortune o. the Cha rm-
"

It Has Made the Fortune o. the Charm
ing Young Actress.
When the original London "A Gaiety Girl"'
company opened at Days Theater, New
York, early last winter, it was pronounced
a failure by the critics.
There was a dancer in the representation
named Cissy Fitzgerald. She was in her
way genius. A glance of the eye, rosy,
rippling smile, unlike any glance or smile
that was ever seen before, made an ire
sistible magnet of that graceful girl She
made a far greater hit than the piece
She became the fashionable rage. Man.
ager Charles Frohman, at that time, was
about to produce the English comedy success,
THE Founding" and engaged Miss Fitz-
gerald to appear in the comedy as tricky
Little Maybud, music hall artistic The
play, with Miss Fitzgerald, ran at Hoyt's
Theater for nearly 2U0 nights to such ire
mendous receipts that Miss Fitzgerald was
able to command salary of 81 600 per
week. She was re-engaged for a tour of
the country and viii appear here Monday
night at the New National Theater.
Henry F. Greene, the business manager
of the company, was seen by representa-
tive of The Times yesterday, and when
asked to explain the extensive method
of advertising Miss Fitzgerald by such
lines as ''See Cissy wink" said: After
the first night Of "A Gaiety Girl in New
York Cissy awoke to find herself famous.
The critics devoted much space in. de-
scribing her wink. Column after column
was devoted to Cissy. All the New York
theatrical managers competed to secure
the charming dancer. She decided to
leave the London organization, but her
English manager tried by the aid Of the
courts to restrain her, but to no avafl.
She finally signed with Manager Charles
Frohman to appear In The Foundlin9.'

Captains Mate" is full of sensation. Climax
follows climax In such quick succession
that the beholder is startled. The scenery
Is quite effective, one set showing the
North River, with the various railroad depots
on the Jersey shore, with numerous ferry
boats plying across, officious tugs putting
and straining, with large ships at the
other end of the hawser, little crafts with
decks loaded with joyous pleasure seekers
skipping merrily up and down the bay, all
combining to form a picture, the like OF
which has never been seen on the stage
before.
There will be no play on the stage more
sensational than Florence Bindley"s Cap
tain's Mate" which deals with life on the
ocean wave as well as on shore. The
picturesque scenery on the ggedrock-ribbed
coast of Maine, is not more beautiful than
the wonderful rescue at sea by an American
man-of-war of the castaway, clinging to q
bell bouy in mid-oeacn, or the scene aboard
the Brazilian trader W hen the American flag
is insulted and the traitor punished. This
scene alone makes the play.
