Morin first brought "L'Enfant Prodigue" across the water to Daly's Theater four years ago and it's success was such as to warrant a return engagement at Abbey's Thea ter ''The Dresden Shepherdess," an- nounced as the second production for the Baldwin engagement, was also a success in New York, where it ran for 100 performances.

of San Francisco's amusements with the assertion that the public of that city was jay and unable to support anything worth while. All the San Francisco pub lie wants is amusements of the first class. Well, we have had long experience with amusemepts of the second class, until the active play-going public has come to be represented only by audi ences of the second class. Persons of the first class seem determined to stay at home until the theater recovers it's quality.
 This means that the amount of mon ey expended for amusements in San Francisco, at present, is about one-half of what it would be under proper the atrical conditions.
 It also means that unless an improve ment is effected soon, some of the man. agers must go to the wall.

 The dancing girl is only too f1attered to wear rich garments; but almost inn mediately she is shut in a room, un- der the belief that she is the En- press, where it is expected that she will kill herself.

 The straight vaudeville acts include Gruet, Beers and Gruet. said to be ex- ceedingly clever acrobatic comedians, in a new line of work, and George H. Fielding, who is certainly the most original if not the very best of comic jugglers.

 A New York paper traces significance in the facts that Mrs. Richard Mans field has retired temporarily from her husbands company and that Mir. Mans held is learning to sing lullabies. MT. Mansfield, however, attended to it that nothing interfered with his opening the Garrick Theater last Monday night with production of The First Violin" Marie Stone and Percival Pollard have worked together in this dramatization of Jessie Fother- gilPs novel and MT. Mansfield is pleased with the result The character of Eugene Courvoisier, which is played naturally by MT. Mansfield, has large possibilities for an actor capable of appreciating the musical atmos- phere which makes the charm of the story and it is remembered that Mir. Mansfield is an. amateur musician of much accomplishment and the son of a famous professional. The New York critics vote the play weak, but the principal part one of Mansfield's most positive successes.
 Miss Viola Allen of the Empire stock company, who resigned from Charles Frohman's forces at the end of the season, has signed a five years contract by which she will star under the management Of the Liebler com pany. The remarkable success which MT. Charles Coghlan has scored under it's management has induced the Lieb- Ter company to go into the theatrical business more extensively, and Miss Allen is the first of several stars to ac- cept it's terms. Miss Allen will sail for Europe early next month for a long rest, and her tour will open In Septem- Der, probably with production of The Courtship of Miles Standish," drama tization of LongfelIow's work by Stan- islaus Stange.
