ance at the Alcazar of Leonard Growers
popular comedy-drama, ''The Wolves Of

The play was well presented and its
effective situations and clever dialogue
won plenty OF applause. A realistic repre-

with the telegraph bringing news of the
races and all the other accessories which
characterize the poolrooms in this City at
present. In view of the stand being taken
in this City against poolrooms, the tele-

LOOKS WERE DECEPTIVE.
How a Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren Officer Was Fooled.

Agent Wilson of the Gerry Society
called at Proctor's Pleasure Palace in New
York one night to investigate the ages of
the Juveniles whose singing in the News
boys Quintet is much applauded. One
wizen-facei youngster was regarded with
special suspicion and was subjected to a
rigid examination as to age, nativity and
parentage. He would not commit himself
on the question of age, but sullenly in
sisted that he was "old enough not to keep
Gerry awake nights" The agent sug-
gested that the lad better have his mother
call at the society's rooms and answer a
few questions
"Me mudderw said the youth scorn-
fully; whats de matter wild having me
wife call and perduce me two kids ?"
With that he whipped odt the photo
graphs of a couple of healthy youngsters,
the elder apparently years old. Then he
explained that he was % years of age and
had been respectable married man since
reaching his majority. The Gerry agent
smiled sadly and withdrew.

THE STAGE PHYSICIAN.
A Character That Jerome Left Out of
His Book.

One of the best chapters in Jerome's
Stageland is that in which he describes the
stage lawyer, who never has an office, but
transaets all his business in the parlors of
his clients, concerning whose family af-
fairs he possesses the most comprehensive
knowledge. There is a stage lawyer of
this description in Liberty Hall, and in
a drama 1 saw recently there is another
character fully as well known to the play
goers of to-day, but one whom, unless my
memory be at fault, Mr.. Jerome has
sighted in his clever book This character
is the stage doctor, and, like his compan-
ion of the legal profession, he is usually
shown to be well-dressed, portIy man,
full of years and whiskers. When invited
to dinner party it is his custom to ar
rive after the other guests have assembled,

n OUIS JAMES has enjoyed a pros
porous season at the California
Theater where he has shone as a
IL bright particular star, with an eff
fulgence that was not expected OF
him by people who had only seen James
when his light was obscured if not hid
under Frederick Warde's bushel. His sue
cess with his own company has certainly
proved that he knew which side his bread
was buttered on when he ceased the col
liberation which for the last few years
has made the names of Warde and James
as inseparable as the Siamese twins. In
defiance of the alphabetical order OF
things, it was always Warde'S first and
James second in the DAYS when the two
scintillated together. ana James must find
it grateful and comforting that his new
venture not only gives HIM an opportunity
of combining his exertions to the roles for
which he is best fitted but also gives him
a larger share of this world 5 goods than
he enjoyed when he and Warde shared the
spoils.
After the departure of the Tavary
Opera Company Frederick Warde comes to
the Baldwin Theater, and it will be inter
esting to see how he stands the test of
shining without his late collaboration. 1t
is announced that after this season Warde
has decided TO appear in nothing but
Shakespearean dramas.
New York dramatic criticism is a two
edged weapon and no man can predict
which way it is going to cut. For in
stance the metropolitan press, which all
but gives the CLASSY eye to Richard Mans
field, has Just extended the glad hand of
welcome toHoyt's "A Black Sheep" The
Recorder predicts that the play Will eclipse
anything that Hoyt has yet done, and it
further instructs its readers that:
Charles H. Hoyt is a philanthropist in the
broadcast sense OF the term. He, more than
any other playmaker of his genre, has fur
nished harmless amusement 10 public over
burdened with business cares and anxiety.
The World, under the heading. "Hoyt
at His Best" says: Now he has re
turned to the refreshing vein OF humor
that is peculiarly his own, the dramatist
has secured the metropolitan success he
has vainIy sought for two years." Otis
Harlan, too, the morning after the first
performance Of "a Black Sheep" in New
York, awoke to find himself famous. And
in San Francisco, even his new and fasci-
mating way Of consuming drinks in the
barroom scene had not the power to stir

COMIsKEY GETS sHUGART.
The Fast InfieIder to Come to St
Paul.

CHICAGO, Feb. AT yesterdays
meeting Of Western league magnates.
President Charley Comiskey, of the St
Paul club, sat among the directors
smiling happily on one side of his
face and looking mournful on the other
side. The famous manager has just
lost his prize catcher, Boyle, who was
drafted by the Louisville club, Of the
National league. It nearly broke
Comiskey's heart to let Boyle go. The
young fellow is a brother to Jack
Boyle, of the Philadelphia and old Chi
cago brotherhood clubs, and did great
work for Comiskey last season. More
over, he was just catching on. Under
Comiskey's unexpected tutelage he was
a SO per cent better man at the end Of
the year than he was at the outset, yet
by the provisions of the national agree
ment Comiskey has to let him go to
the poorest of the National league
clubs Perhaps this was one of the
things that made the talk of dissatis-
faction with existing base ball laws q
little more pertinent. But there was
joy mixed with Conveys tribuIations,
for he received word from Louisville
accepting $500 for the release of Shu-
CART to the st. Paul club. Shugart,
who could set pretty fast clip in the
big league, will be of great assistance
to Comiskey in st. Paul.
Comiskey has most of his old crowd
back in ST. Paul for the coming year.
