possessed, dignified little speech
that he made, in a voice so admirably
modulated that he was heard TN every
part of the house. He threw nice
little verbal bouquet at San Francisco

said. except San Francisco He
struck responsive chord in his refer
ence to the National Guard when he
spoke of the prophecy made in the play,
written before the war, that it would

There is a strong likelihood that the
London season of David Belasco's play,
1.-The Heart of Maryland" will close
earlier than planned. 1t all depends
on Mrs. Carriers ability to hold out.
Her health is giving the, management
great concern, but they are still hope
full that she will pull through to the
end of the season, which originally con-
tracted for four weeks has been twice
extended. Messrs. Gatti, the proprie-
tors of the Adelphi theatre, were very
DESTROYS of reopening in August with
THE Heart of Maryland" with Mrs.
Carter in the cast, supported by an
English company, and continuing I'M
til next Christmas, when the produc-
ton of the annual pantomime is al
ready underlined. On account of her
health Mrs. Carter was unable to con-

rest for three months before beginning
her next season. She has appeared in
1.-The Heart of Maryland" over 800 times
during its second season alone, begin

period has Travelled over $4,000 miles.
Mrs. Carter will positively appear in
a new play in America next season,
though she may play a short prelimi-
nary engagement in Belascos great
war drama
An evidence of the splendid impress
sion and success which the drama has
made abroad is found in the fact that
arrangements have already been made
for its production in Berlin, on or about
October IS, and negotiations are pend
ing for its presentation in other coun-
tries.
There seems to be but little doubt, and

the sentiments of the London public are
our sentiments also? Or shall We-IOyal

crown his devoted head with laurels of
continued application? Surely we shall
pursue the latter course. When London
laughed with and loved him, we laughed
and loved, too. Now is our opportunity
to sprout a little loyalty, and to say to Sir
Henry-not a farewell to all his greatness
or misericorde for the poor man that
hangs on princes favors," but a few nice
little appreciative things of our own, not
intended for publication, but merely as a
guarantee of good faith We can rise SUI
perior to a pathetic occasion and teach the
biggest public in the world a few salutary
lessons.

Without doubt, one of the strongest fea-
lures of the season just past has been the
success achieved by the stock opera or
CARNATIONS in the various big cities Of
the land. The leading one of these has
been the Castle Square Opera company, at
the American theatre, New York, which
closed last week. In speaking of the sea-
