ADTu
Dear Hal:
It is to be feared Cor rather hoped
that Mr.. w. A. Brady will not set up
country residence as the result of his
western venture with Anna Held. 1t
is singular that man who is so con-
stantly feeling the public pulse as
Brady is, should not have been able, to
tell in advance that there is no popular
cutlery in these sections for sensations
of the French bail stripe such as are
represented in the brazen little miss
whom he last introduced. If he had
had any doubts about the matter,
there were the Cissy Fitzgerald box
Office records to consult, and they
should have served as warning. Miss
Held is simply a sensational dancer,
only one remove away from the hours
of the streets of Cairo, and with no
more right to be exploited as a re-
spectacle artistic attraction on the
boards of first class theatres than the
koochy koochies themselves. In the eff
fete east, the Held was raved over and
Hocked to as one of the new marvels
of the day. To the credit of the wild
and woody sections, be it said, her man
ager lost money in most places where
she exhibited-and exhibited is pre-
cisely the word for it.
Dan Sully has encountered the tail
emo of the season, and that with the
all consuming war excitement, has kept
him under a cloud all the week: at
least, let lis be charitable and attrib
ute it to that: if it were any one else
than clever Danny, the temptation to
say that his company and his plays
had something to do with the wilder
ness of empty chairs that nightly con-
fronted him-might prove too strong
to resist
1t viii give you a start of surprise to
learn that the historic old theatre has
undergone another change and that
George Piper is to have control of its
destinies on and after May day. It's
more than 80 years now since H. B.
ClaWson and John T. Game, the first
managers, opened the old place, and
the number of managers it has had
since, and the changes it has under
gone would fill a book, if they were all
set down: The theatre is purely a COM
mercial enterprise, a joint stock con-
Germ. but the interest our public feels
IN 1t Is or that nature that any change
affecting it is looked upon as an en-
tirely proper matter for public con-
Germ; we are all linked to ii by so many
pleasant associations that we all feel
sort of proprietary interest in its af-
fairs. and there has been as much busy
buzZing about the change Just an
nounced as though it were community
property that was affected. The com
ing season is full of uncertainty, for
with wars and rumors of wars on one
hand, AID with San Francisco steadily
running down at the heel-which means
fewer attractions to cross the CONT
nent-on the other hand, the old house
will have to do some tall scrambling to
get in its one hundred open nights dur
ing the year. But the hearty good will
and best wishes of the public are with
1t and that the new manager MAJ. find
smooth seas and favorable gales on his
voyage is the general wish, as it is of
yours, MARGE.

Some Doubt as to Individual
Action of Senor Rios.
ASKS SIGNIFICANT QUESTION

PARIS, November 23.-At the request of
the Spanish peace commissioners there will
be no joint session today pending instruc-
tions from Madrid. The date of the next
meeting is not fixed.
The postponament of today is regarded as
a hopeful sign that the treaty will be
signed. While the Madrid government has
not yet received the text of the American
ultimatum, the Spanish ministers received
quite enough by telegraph on Monday night
to enable them to instruct their commits
sioners to retire, were such their intentions.
Expect Spain to Acquiesce.
The belief was confidently expressed by
several of the American commissioners, in
conversation with the correspondent of the
Associated Press today, that before the ex-
piration OF the time fixed by the Americans,
namely. Monday next the Spanards will
acquiesce in the offer of the United States
regarding the Philippines. and that ulti-
mately the treaty will be signed by all the
Spanish commissioners.
1t is true that the course which Senor
M0nteTO Rios, president of the Spanish COM
mission. will follow is still uncertain as
he continues to play to the gallery but
a leading member of the American COM
mission believes he Will sign with the
other Spa0iards. In any case. his place on
the commission will be speedily filed, prob
ably by Senor Leon Y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador here.
Senor MonterC Rios sent a communication
to the American commissioners last even
ing asking q number of questions The
most important of them. and to get dn an
swer to which the letter was undoubtedly
written. was tucked away in the middle of
the letter. 1t asked. in effect, If the Amer
leans really meant that the ultimaturl must

We're assured that such was the intent and
the answer has cleared the air.
Next Meeting Friday.
A member of the Spanish commission to-
Gay assured the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press that the next meeting of the
commissioners will take place on Friday OF
Saturday, and that Spain's answer then
Will be the last she will make, and that it
will be a definite conclusion of the matter
In hand.
] mis- uttaranCe is looked upon as indicat-
ing that Spain will sign the treaty of peace.
