ready TO accept at one moment that
which has been rejected at another"
Joseph Haworth asks the Mirror TO
deny the report that he is TO be Julia
Marlowe's leading man next season.
He does not know where it originated.
but he declares that it is baseless. And
very good thing, too. for Mr. Ha-
worth. actor of ability as he is, is tenn
peramentally unfit for association with
Julia Marlowe.
1t is now decided definitely that Rob-
ert Taber will make starring tour
separately next season. Lorimer Stod-
which Mr.. Taber will make the venture.
Rubinstein was sometimes very
quick witted. A lady once begged him
for a seat at his concert. where. of
course there was not a single place 10
be had.
II have only one seat he said. but
1 will willingly give it up TO you
"'Oh, thank you How good you are,
Really 1 don't know what 1 have done
to deserve such kindness, And where
is the seat?
AT the piano.
Without doubt the success of the
American play, Secret Service" as
London, is the distinct event of the
vanished season. Last weeks Mirror
says:
Besides Gillette and his play the
actors in Secret Service" are coming
in for unwonted London ORA Use.
One English journal suggests that par
lament should pass law at once COM
polling the actors of the AdelDhi com
pany 10 study the performance Of their
American cousins.
1t is not quite certain whether Sc
cret Services" success over there ar
cues a newborn fancy for American
products, dramatic and histrionic, or
whether it is simply an exceptional case
We have sent our best actors and
some of our best plays to London in the
past with results that are too well
known. The happy result of the Sc
cret Service" experiment may mean a
change of sentiment.

London, June 19.-For the present the
theatres are doing a poor business.
Secret Service is. however. an eXcep-
ton to the general rule, and is doing
as we'll at the Comedy theatre. to
which it was transferred last Mon
day. as it did during its four weeks
run at the Adelphi. where Nine. Bern
hardt made her appearance Thursday.

1t has long been an open secret that
a quarrel exists between Nine. Nor
dica and NJ. Jean de Reszke. sufficient
ly serious to prevent the two eminent
singers from appearing in the same
opera. Colonel Mapleson has. acting as
mouth piece for Nine. Nordica, made
public an explanation of the origin of
this misunderstanding which, he says,
began during the last season in Amer
lea At that time Nine Nordica. il
seems. made So me remarks complaining
of the opposition of which she thought
she was the object at the hands of NJ.
De Reszke. These remarks. in an ex-
aggerated form, found their way into
the papers, and made NJ. De Reszke so
angry that when Nine. Nordica wrote
to him to explain, he returned the let
ter unopened. This occasioned a COM
plete estrangement between the two
artists which still continues and all at
tempts at reconciliation have so far
proved abortive. Meantime Nine Nor
dica remains out of the bill at the Co
vent Garden Opera house and as Col.
Mapleson's projected opera season at
Drury Lane seems to have fallen
through, it begins 10 look as though the
prima donna will not be heard in Lon
don during the present summer.
The attempt to place Drury Lane
theatre on a sound financial basis IN
der the management of Arthur Collins
has proved complete success.
A good deal of mystery was made out
of the fact that the author of For the
Honor of the Family" produced the
