From Our Regular Correspondent
New York January 81 Perhaps
there has ben no more cheering indl-
cation this season OF the public desire
for good healthy plays than the re-
markable success which John Hare met
with in "A Pair Of Spectacles' during
the last fortnight of his engagement
here. For two weeks this most admit
able actor had been playing TO empty
benches in The Notorious Mrs EDO-
smith" a play which New York would
not accept on any grounds. Then came
that charming performance of Balla-
min Goldfnch, and on the final night
of his engagement dozens of ra)n.e
were turned away from Ab5ey's unable

he ever had was when he was SHINING,
simply gave TO his congregation a sort
of gossip, a kind of exaggerated essay

the better for it. He shamed the

about BY the action of the property
