is like a Chinese lily in a window of
flaming eXotics-it is so modest and eX-
ceedingly sweet. 1t is the sort of play
a man likes to take his young sister TO

do with it remains to be seen. The or
ganization is headed by a New York
actor, Mr.. Clement cambridge.
Ned Royle and his wife leave on this
mornings train for New York, where
they will probably remain during the
winter. Their departure was FASTENED
by the receipt of several kilograms an
nouncing that T. Henry French had
offered Mr.. Henderson the American
theatre on favorable terms for pro-
duction of Mexico" AS the American
is one of the big, popular playhouses
of the metropolis, and the theatre of
all others Mr.. Royle would have
chosen, he thought best to be on the
ground as early as possible to close up
the arrangements. In addition to that
he will probably settle with Mr.. Will
kinson, Salvinis late manager, to take
charge of his business interests. The
many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Royle
will follow their operations in New
York with the keenest interest, and
sincerely trust they may have the
success. both with Mexico" and the
new play, that both undoubtedly de-
serve.
Speaking of Salvini, the hopes of all
his admirers have been Unexpectedly
raised by the appearance of the fol-
lowing paragraph in the New York
Mirror:
Mrs. Alexander Salvini writes from
Florence TO her friend, Mrs. George NJ.
Hendee of Springfield, Mass, that her
husband is on the road to recovery.
The doctors gave him up twice while
he was i'll at his fathers villa, but each
time he rallied, and at the approach of
cold weather it was decided to remove
him to Florence. There an operation
was performed which was more sue
cessful that the doctors dared to hope
If he does recover completely says
Mrs. Salvini, his health will probably
be better than it ever has been before.
Of course it's going to be a long time,
for he has been very i'll. I didn't sup
pose anyone could be so sick and
live"
Plays may come and plays may go,
but The Old Homestead" bids fair |
to go on forever. 1t comes again to (,
the theatre on Dec. IA with a New /
York cast, and with leading man in |
rhompson's part, selected by Thomp- /
son himself. Denman is 50 busy making (
