There will be much interest felt by
our theater- goers in the engagement of
Ar. and Mrs. Russ Whytal, who will
appear in the formers bold and spirit
ed drama For Fair Virginia. at the
Metropolitan Theater on Easter Mon
Gay, April 10Th. After a run of two
years in the East, Mr.. Whytal brought
his play to San Francisco, where it was
acted at the Columbia Theater March
18th The Chronicle of the follow
ing day said:
AT the Columbia Theater, Mr.. and
Mrs. Whytal made their bow in For
Fair Virginia. a drama of the South,
and the war time, written by Mr.. Why
tai. There are strong situations in the
play, and one scene at the end of the
third act is notably clever and en-
crossing. With a cast most admirably
balanced, and incidents that are strik-
ing, an audience falls into the current
OF the piece and follows with a great
deal of enjoyment. Mr.. Whytal is
quite good actor, although in his play
more potent as author than star. Mrs.
Whytal is the attractive figure of the
play with her quick and excitable tenn
permanent and her enthusiasm as the
Southern girl. 1t is the part of the
play by its contrast, but the foil to it,
the part of Mrs. Esmond, is so natur-
ally and ably done by Mabel Bert, less
plump than of old, but better actress,
that the two figures share the success.
A little child, Lottie Briscoe, does a re-
markedly clever bit of childish emo
tional acting, one of the features of the
piece. John Woodward takes the role
of an old negro with that ease which
comes from the thorough training of
the school he was brought up in, which

she had given it to him but no words

The girls eyes, which a few moments
before had been suffused with tears
now sparkled brightly. She tried the

The girl was thinking of all these
things when the maid appeared bearing

most clumsy and stupid system it is
despite improvements and the labors
bestowed on it by many great minds
clumsier and stupider even than the
system of spelling and pronouncing the

was in some respects an improvement
over the staff notation, but in other
respects much clumsier than that.
wherefore it has never made any pro-

{ ayers getting his total receipts from

only Jokes The fines Of big opera
company would scarcely amount to 9oo
in the course of a season, and 1t Would
not be worth a managers while to try
to save money in that way, unless ne
was even harder up than most man
ayers have been this season.
Some managers give their fines to a
charity at the end of the season. Dave
Henderson of the Chicago Opera-houSe
does that and he has good, big, I'M

hands, and the fines amount TO more
than they do with some companies
Some managers save up the hneS anu
return them to the actors who nave
paid them at the end of the season.
In this case of course, the only pun
ishment is the inconvenience OF gong
without the money for time. But
the chorus girls do not know, Wheh
they do wrong, that they are going
to get their fines back. 1t depends on
the pleasure of the manager, and ne
does not spoil the effect of his pen
alties by telling that he is merely act
ing as a compulsory banker.
It happened once in recorded history
that a certain stage manager reported
to his manager that Miss So-and-so
was fined % cents for whispering. 1t
happened that there were four MISS
So-and-sos, sisters, in the chorus, ana
the manager did not know which one
of them was meant. Then the brilliant
plan occurred to him of filming eacn
one of them p cents, and he accord
ingly did so, subtracting that amount
from the envelope Of each one when
pay day came. And all four girls sub
mitted without complaint. This story
it is no fable-teaches that violent pro-
tests against fines are not the rule,
and that there are some persons on
the stage who know that they ought
to be fined, whether they are or not.

The performance of 1.-THE Found

Cissy Fitzgerald objects TO wearing

refusal to do so. Heavens! the woman
need not be so modest. In nothing

performance on the stage is concerned.
She does not blush to be chief in a
play that has not even tights upon its
extremities, but that stalks pretty
nearly naked.
Actors who were indignant at the
imposition of fines have been known
to insinuate that the stage manager
