the metal, which is soundleSS as her
arms intervene and are beaten between
the tongue and the walls of bronze.
Alas for those back of the second row
in the orchestra, that scene was a
blank and the pivot of the whole play
was lost to them, except in fancy. As
the heroine emerges into the outer
tower the interior scene below closes
in an instant of dark stage" present
ing the exterior walls Of the church,
and tie front drapery or fly above,
rises and discloses the tower and the
heroine ascending. finally grasping the
clapper of the bell and swinging to and
fro. But the curtain did not rise. The
stupid, objectionable and ratified stage
hand whose duty it was to ply the rig
ging and send aloft the fly forgot his
task. probably he was absorbed in the
play. and so Mrs. Carter did her great
! feat with a heavy curtain between her
and the audience She was deeply
mortified, and it is said made the re-
/ sponsible parties understand what it
| is TO rouse a woman to anger. But
! there was no remedy. To repeat the
/ scene was, of course, out Of the ques-
| ton. Stage Manager Millward, how
ever came forward and explained that
/ the failure of the scene was wholly
/ due TO the incOmpetency and blundef-
! ing stupidity of the fly man employed
| by the Metropolitan management, and
not by the Frohman company, which
deplored the incident, but wished to be
| held tlameless from the wrath OF the
audience. Local Manager Henry sub
sequently, accompanied by Messrs. Du
Bois ard Hustled of the Frohman man
agemcnt, called upon representatives OF
/ the press and confirmed the statement
| of Millward 1t was the more unfortu-
nate because it has been charged that
| Mrs. Carter does not make the bell
/ swing but that a trained athlete,
| garbed to resemble her, does the feat
! This the Frohman management indlg-
nantly deny, as does Mrs. Carter, and
| invites press inspection Of the elabor-
ate and costly mechanism with its iron
stays heavy timbers and winding STAIR
ways. and also close witness of the TACT
| that the actress does make the ascent
and the swing. But that test is wholly
unnecessary. The play will be re-
peated tonight for the last time and
| guarantee is given that men will be
stationed in the flies who will not ne
glect their duty and spoil the chief
scene. To those who admire strongly
realistic play, thoroughly well acted,
staged with elabOrateness and detail
rarely equalled, and of the most alb
sorbing interest throughout, the oppor-
tunity is afforded tonight of having
their desires fully satisfied.
Mr.. Bacon's fine company repeated
| Mr. BRUSHES idyllic play, 1.-The Estate
of Hannibal Howe" last evening to a
good house at the Clunie The few
rough spots of a first night disap-
peared, and smoOthness and prompt
ness was the rule. Mr.. Bacon in moth
! ing he does is better than in Amos
Howe. which character he invests with
an interest that results only from mer-
itorious acting and careful study. Mr
Tooker's young lawyer is capitally
played. better than the character has
| been done by the several who nave
preceded him. This charming drama
will he repeated tonight with all It's
handsome scenery and striking tab

OF the Socialist congress, Herr Auer, the
socialist loader and editor of the Vor-

in which he advocated social democrats
