DRAMATIC NOTES.

! In private letter from an American
woman travelling in Europe, occurs the
following: Last night we went tc
Monte Carlo and saw Lily Langtry, in
low-necked white satin and diamonds
playing heavily and winning all the
time. The Duke of Cambridge was
watching her and so was everybody
else"
A play entitled "a Gay Deceiver' has
been written for Anna Held.
Ethel Kendall, the second daughter of
the famous Kendals, has gone to New
York, in defiance of her parents wishes,
and wants to go on the stage. She has
wisely decided to gain money first and
let fame come after if it will, and is,
therefore, to make her debut on the
vaudeville stage. She will probably ap-
pear shortly at Proctors Pleasure Pal
ace.
Scott Hayes, son of the former presi-
dent, is going into the theatrical busi-
ness. He is backing Walter Jones, the
comedian, in a starring tour in "In Gay
New York" 1t is possible that this may
not be his only venture, for Messrs.
Hayes and Jones are already arranging
to produce a new opera, "The Filibus-
ter" next season.
Young Robert Taber, vino was chiefly
distinguished a few months ago as the
husband of Julia Marlowe, has made a
name for himself in London, and has
the starring fever. That he will go out
at the head of company has not been
decided; he may act IN London with
Mrs. Taber, and there is a possibility
That he may become a member of Au-
gustin Daly's company in New York
The DAILY company is sadly in need Of a
leading man of strong individuality
Arthur Bouschier, Frank Unthing and
Mr. Richmond have all been weighed
and found wanting, and Mr.. Taber-
who by the way, was a member of the
DAILY company in 18S9-is just about the
kind of man the exacting Mr.. Daily
wants.
Clarence E. Holt, an actor we'll known
in Worcester, was married in New Or
