Ticket No 30 enjoyed? Well,
just ask the hundreds of people
VINO braved a very bad night to
pack the Academy of Music, so that there
was scarcely standing room left. The way
people are iocking TO see the Klimt-Hearn
aggregation at popular prices is a wonder,
and a satisfaction to the managers. Klimt-
Hearn is probably the most popular COM

holds the record for the largest audience
| that any travelling company has ever play
| ed to in Charleston"
Oliver Doud Byron and Mrs. Byron are

James Doel, said to be the Oldest actor
in the world, has just completed his nine
ty-fourth year. Very early in the ifties
this English actor appeared as the first
gravedigger 10 the Hamlet of Young
| Hengler." lie made a hit in the quick

BY recent extensive purchases In Boston
Mrs Charlotte Crabrree's real estate hold
ings in that city are valued at more than
81 O00, 600 Lolita, for 1t is by this name that
the retired actress will always be best re-
membered, owns in total holdings in the
city of Boston alone 14.751 square feet OF
| land taxed for $734,000 Which goes to
show that in her time this always interest
ing lady accumulated, if anything, a larg-
er fortune than she was believed to have
| amassed.

| exposition in 1900, at which the works OF
| American playwrights are to be presented
| by American actors. Three performances

lesque opera drama and vaudeville. Rich
ard Mansfield, Nat Goodwin and Lillian
Russell are to be engaged as representa-
tives of their several types of acting, says
an exchange.
The most pronounced dramatic success
in New York at the present time is "A
Virginia CourishiD," which is being pre-
scented at the Knickerbocker Theater by
William III. Crane. During the first
month of its run the play is said to have
earned more money than any other play
ever given in New York IN the same length
of time. The play has six weeks longer
to remain in Gotham, and the most con-
aervative estimate Of the receipts of the
engagement places them at 500, 600. Crane
| is without DOUBT one OF tne luctleSC men
| in the profession. Most actors are fortu-
nate if they strike a big success once
in life time. Frank Mayo found one
in "Davy Crockett" but many years in
| tervened before he hit it again with
| "Pudd'nhead Wilson," Death, however,
| carried him off before he could benefit by
It. Cranes successes have been numer-
| Gus. and his latest seems more powerful
as a money-maker than was THE Sena-
tor"
The latest news from London is to the
