Gently appeared I'm the "Bookman' makes
so just an estimate OF 1t, and SO feilci-
tously expresses it that We reproduce it:
This handsomely printed volume, II
says, with a ''premOnstration' IN the
Burtonian manner, calls one attention
10 the fact that even amid the throng OF
new and fashionable diseases Wnlcn OF
late have occupied so much time and at
%tention, govt still holds its own. Inc
book is a pleasantly written discourse
with n touch of quaintness about H. ana
with an abundance OF literary other
allusion. As to tho theory OF govt one
need not say very much, since no one
cares greatly about the theory, anyhow;
but when the question OF the palliatlVes,
the regimen. n the wines that one may
or may not drink are taken up IN order,
then the subject grows very interesting,
especially to tho person VINO has begun TO
feel a little queer I'm his Joints. The chap
ter on wine is written with a very deli
cate epicurean touch. The different wines
of the different countries are enumerat-
ed with a really loving appreciation OF
their delightfulness-so much so, indeed,
that wa should think IL unsafe for a

veal inst what advice Mr.. Ellwanger

sons. AS 4 matter OF fact one IS inclined
to think that he hates 10 condemn any
noble. genuine vintage. and that In conse-
Guence he has left a convenient way open

plication that. after all, the use or vine

eminent English actor viii present his
great success 1.-THE Royal Box" in which

"The ROYAL BOX" Is n romantic comedy
founded on Alexander Dumas play 'Kean,

French actor. presented this piece in his
repertoire when he visited this country

tom 70 present a different play each week
al this theatre. but "Kean' made such a
great hit that the subscribers demanded
that II be continued. The late Charles
rechter also played "Kean" in this coun-
try. as did Ludwig Barney, the great
German actor. In making his adoption
Mr.. Coghlsn entirely remodelled and re-
wrote the play. The diagologue and all
the vital situations and features OF the
story are entirely his own. Some OF the
speeches are rhetorical gems. The only
character IN the play that IS drawn strict
IN on the lines OF the original piece Is that
OF the actor Clarence portrayed by Mr..
