"The crowd was like the man of whom La Bruyere speaks who appreciated and cultivated prunes exclusively, and prunes only of one species. He picked them devotedly from the tree and said, Taste thatl What perfume! What meat! What taste! That is a prune, a real prune.' It is an operetta,' said the public, and ran to it as to a fire" Revolutions in public demand come, but no one knows how.
 Sarcey says that the skill of the actor does not count as much as the adapta- tion of the actor to what the world be- lieves beforehand to be good. A come dian who has failed for years, though an artist, suddenly educates the crowd to understand his quality, and when they learn it well they applaud every time he appears and anything which resembles him.

stage Is a historical romance, and its plot Is founded on the struggle between Napoleon 1 and Pope Plus VII, a strug- gle full of interest and teeming with dramatic incidents. The student of his tory will recall that Napoleon at one time imprisoned the Pope and carried off with him to Paris a large number of the cardinals. Among these latter was Cardinal Consalvi, renowned dip lomat, who had been Plus secretary of state. Later on, when the Emperor di- vorced Josephine and married Marie Louise of Austria, thirteen of the car dinals, headed by Consalvf, refused to attend the wedding ceremony on the ground that Josephine's divorce was not valid As a punishment for his boldness in thus defying the Emperor, Consalvi was exiled to Lyons and for bidden to wear the red robes Of his of- flee.

Morosco's S.

Saved From the Sea-" a sensational nautical melodrama of the English persuasion, will be the production at Moroscos.
 In the first act the good ship Ocean Waif blows the ocean main. A num- Der of melodramatic scenes occur on deck, terminating in the blowing up of the vessel. AS the hull disappears be- meath the cruel waves the hero and he- roine are discovered battling for life, but are rescued by ore of the boats. In act two there Is a sensational break away bridge scene and generous sprink- ling of comedy. Later on there is in- troduced a stone quarry, shrouded in fog, which lifting discloses a scene in waving corn fields.
 The story of the play has been ere ated from the strange circumstances surrounding the case of John Lee, who, having been condemned to death in the British courts, had his sentence com muted because three attempts to hang him proved unsuccessful, the gallows upon each occasion refusing to work.

Alcazar.

Says the press agent of the Alcazar in his own English:
 "Ludicrous farce after three weeks Of immense business gives way this week to a drama of the most peculiar type. It is neither comedy, emotional. sensational and much less melodrama- tic; yet the essence of the four faces of the drama are blended into one intensely interesting story, dramati- cally told. Misapprehended character, in other words false honor and false modesty are the singular elements which, when produced in London and New York, set the theater-goe of those head centers astir and the play False Shame, so wonderfully we'll conceived by the great English writer, F. A. Marshall. So important were four of the leading roles considered by managers that Harry Montague. John Gilbert, Clara Morris and Fanny Davenport were included in the cast made up of some of the most able per formers that have done a dramatic turn. It is this play which has been in active preparation for several weeks, which will for the first time in its history be put on by stock at popular prices, or even played by a stock company, and to the AlcaZar stock company both press and public will patiently wait to see what con- ception that clever little company will give to the most difficult play they have ever had assigned to them."

 patriot, Sienkewicz. author of Quo Vadis." The Polish novelist paid visit to this country some twenty years ago, during which he wrote several short stories, all based on his Ameri- can impressions. It is said that he was interested in the celebrated Polish ac- tress, and that 1t was her presence in California which drew him to the New World, and which resulted in his charming California tales, some of which have been published in English. Some of the gossips even went as far as to point out his feelings for Mime. Modjeska as the basic motive of his psychological novel Without Dogma" ]"
 Modjeska's two weeks engagement at the Fifth Avenue was in all so success full that she will play return season next month.
 After two disastrous seasons as a star Wilton Lackaye is "at leisure" for the lack of a play good enough to war rant him in continuing his season.

 The relation between the actor and the critic is at best delicate one, and the less social intercourse there is be- tween them the easier it is for the critic to be fair with his readers. Miss Da- venport's recent hospitable production of Joan of Arc" in Boston is a good example of the point in question. She wanted the play judged by the best critics in the country, and several weeks in advance of the premiere she sent invitations to nearly all the big critics of the big cities. Acceptances were numerous, and a large wing of one of Boston's swellest hotels was re- quired for the entertainment of the critical guests. A midnight banquet was given an hour after the conclusion of the performance, and it is to be inn agined that the good cheer nearly choked the visiting critics. for the play had been such an out and out failure that their telegraphic reviews had dealt with 1t in no gentle terms If such an occasion should arise again perhaps it would be better to make it Dutch treat

Tor young Irving as a gentleman, dis covers that she does not care suff1- clently for him to become his wife. IT all this be true 1t will be hard on somebody else besides Mr. Irving. As stated in these columns several weeks ago, an enterprising metropolitan vaudeville manager has been advertis- Ing Miss Barrymore's father, the de- bonafr Maurice, as the father-in-law elect of son of a British knight.
 However, Barrymore comes out of his vaudeville experience with. joke. The men who run continuous performance he calls the I-need-thee-every hour managers.
 George Bernard Shaw. the accom- plished play assassin of the Saturday Review, did not receive the usual press invitation to the premiere of Plnero s 'Trelawny of the Wells" and upon tel ephoning to the manager was told that three lines of adverse criticism would be no use to the theater." However, Mir Shaw attended the second night, and evidently enjoyed the piece, for he wrote that the managers belief that The Saturday would attack it showed that the manager didn't know good comedietta even when he saw 1t in his own theater.

Acton Davies of the Evening Sun wants Miss Anna Held, who is said to be very hard pressed for novelty, to treat the public to one of her condensed milk baths.
 Remarking on the crowd at the thea terS, it's influence and taste, Fran cisque Sarcey says in Revue Bleue that neither the intrinsic merit of a play nor the intrinsic merit of the act ing is considerable element in the inn mediate success of the piece. It is true that good plays succeed even at the time; Corneille, Racine and Moliere were usually immediately successful. but excellence insures only very mod crate success at first. Thomas Cor nellie, the unknown brother of the fa- nous Pierre, had greater temporary success than his great brother. "Ari- ane' was played oftener and attracted much larger crowds than Les Horaces' or "Cinna." At the theater the man of talent" says Sarcey. de feats the man of genius, although in the course of centuries the genius and and the man of mere talent are put in their proper places"
 What counts more than intrinsic merit, continues the French critic, is the conformity of the play with the turn of mind, the sentiment and taste of the crowd. At different times there are different kinds of plays which are popular. At time when the classic tragedy was the only form acceptable, a poor play with that form would suc- ceed better than a good play of diver gent form. No matter how much the tragedy bored, respect inclined the crowd to admiration, and they clapped their hands by tradition.
 The operetta began with master pieces of it's kind, but when the type once became popular anything of the
