PART III.

Carpenter laughingly answered.
Take care she doesn't drop on you!
1t would be worse if she thought you
were guying her."
There's no danger of that" Harry
Bracket returned. THAT Stellar At
traction of ours is a a-constrictor for
flattery-there's isn't anything she
won't swallow"
The two dramatic authors found Miss
Daisy Fostelle standing in the wings
and discussing with Dresser the per-
sonal peculiarities of another member
Of the dramatic profession.

the actress was saying: why, she had

Miss Daisy Fostelle snapped she big

pleasure.
"Yes," she adm tied. 81 don't believe
she will really enjoy that scene-and
yet she'll have to give me hand al
the end of the act"
She'll go through the motions, per

won't burst a hole in her gloves" TheT
he slyly nudged his collaboration
"The fact is" began Carpenter, thus
admonished, "I was just going to tel

The actress flashed a suspicious

tocratically. ordering certain scenes to
be played more rapidly and seeing that
others were taken more slowly, so
that the spectators might have time to
understand the situation. Now and
then either Carpenter or Bracket made
suggestion or a criticism, but both
yielded to Sherrington, If he was in
sistent. The stage manager kept the
whole company of actors up to their
work, and imposed on them his un-
derstanding of that work. much as the
conductor of the orchestra leads his
musicians at the performance of a
symphony.
When the whole act had been re-
hearsed. and the final scene was re-
peated three or four times, until it ran
like well-olied clockwork, the stage
was cleared so that the scenery of the
third act might be set.
Sherrington accompanied Miss Mar
vim through the door behind the pro-
scenium box into the dark auditorium.
You will play that scene very WELL"
he said, "but you've got to have con-
fidence."
1T is a beautiful part, isn't it?" she
responded, with enthusiasm. 81 never

to him to hear her speak the words

tapped him on the shoulder. AS he
turned Harry Bracket whispered in
his ear:
Look out for the Stellar Attraction.

the little girl may get that scene away

SHORT STORIES OF FAMOUS MEN.

The correspondent OF great east
ern daily newspaper narrated in a
group Of friends In Washington how
a slip of the tongue destroyed his
chances OF obtaining some matter he
was seeking earnestly, and involved
him in an unpleasant experience with
one Of the Supreme court justices. He
received a. letter instructing him to
see the chief justice and the associate
justices of the Supreme court and ask
each of them to contribute to the col
umns OF his paper a short essay on
subject pertaining to the history of
the supreme court. He glanced over
the note of instructions hurriedly, and
when he met Justice Field O short time
later he was not certain of its con-
tents. To refresh his memory he drew
the letter from his pocket and began
to read from It to the associate Judges
the instructions which had been sent
to him. In the body of the letter was
this sentence:
"Of course, the old buffers do not
expect to be paid for this work." the
correspondent read hurriedly, and he
ran right into this sentence before he
knew where he was. He stopped in
the middle of 1t and was about to
omit the remainder, when Justice Field
says:
Hold on-what is that? Let me see
that for a moment"
"Oh, that's of no consequence,
Judge" said the correspondent.
Just let me look at it for a minute" ,"
said Justice Field. He glanced over the
correspondents shoulder and read the
sentence. There was a twinkle in his
eye that showed that he appreciated
| the humor of the situation, but the cor
respondent said to himself: This ends
my search for essays" 1t did not end
| the search, but 1t might as we'll have
| ended 1t, for none of the essays were
ever written. Justice Field appreciates

Polls Wonderland Theater.

"The Man Upstairs" was the center piece of a very amusing bill at Polls Wonderland theater yesterday. This comedietta is the work of Augustus Thomas, author of Alabama" and oth- CT good plays, and was originally pro- duced at Hoyts theater, New York, un- der the direction of Charles Frohman. It is a half hour taken out of an apart ment house. and the piece makes a most amusing bit of comedy It is ill the hands of five very clever people, Miss Maggie Fielding sustains the chief comedy part in the same inimitable style that she did when she created the role in the original New York produc- tion. Howell Hansel, the man up stairs is very effective actor, invest ing the part of the irascible boarder in the wrong flat in a style that is ire sistibly humorous The others in the piece--Miss Lizzie Evans of 1Fogs $ Ferry fame, William Ranous and Miss Lucille Lee-are all well cast and add much to the effectiveness of the pre- sentation The remainder of the bill is excellently made up. Among those contributing to it are Ali Grant the three La Rosas, Signore and Mime. Bo- relli, MT. Wills and Miss Barron. the Quigley brothers, Miss Rosalie Grant
 and MT. Williams and Miss Carleton.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at 6 D. m. a train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train is composed of Pullman palace vestibuled sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed.

 The Santa Fe route is the only line running entirely over it's own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west Will find it to their advantage to communicate with S w. Manning. New England Agent of this line, at 332 Washington street. Boston.

Grand Opera House.

"A Railroad Ticket" a merry good farce comedy in three acts, made its initial bow to a New Haven audience at the Grand Opera house last evening, There is little or no plot to the piece, but much interest centers on the gro- tesque and jolly antics of Chips" a funny part capitally taken by Louis Wesley. The star of the company is Marie Stuart. She Is certainly excep- tionally clever. Her speciality is of the order of Yvette Guilbert and received encore after encore, to which, she re- sponded graciously. All through the farce are introduced modern up to date songs. The company has a half dozen pretty girls, who sing and dance well. Miss Edith Newton as the wife is very good. Miss Marzat Hobart, who takes the part of Helen" Is niece of Vice President -elect Hobart, and is an ac- tress of promise. Arthur Moulton as the ticket broker and Charles A. Burke as the rain king come in for a good share of the fun, and Gus Pixley as the collector and bill poster was very clever, especially so as the whistling coon. The male quartet is very good.
 The remaining performances are this and tomorrow evenings and matinee Wednesday, when the prices are ten, fifteen and twenty-five cents.
 Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh will present at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday their stupendous production, "On the Mississippi" a notable American play and one of the sensational dramatic events of the past and present season. A company of unusual strength inter- pret the story amid scenes Of nature s gorgeous coloring among the Tennes- sean mountains. The floating theater on the river, the gambling hells of New Orleans and the Mardi Gras also pro vide material for intense dramatic epi- sodes and scenic effects new to the stage. There will be a matinee Satur- day, at which the prices will be 10, 15 and 25 cents.
