When "The Caliph" was produced at
the Broadway theatre couple OF years
ago, introducing jeff De Angels as
the star, there was good deal OF dis
cussiOn as to the probability OF its sue
cess. On the one hand there were
those who declared that. as jeff had
succeeded in making the comedy part
in every opera in which he had par
ticipated for many ,syears superior IN
interest and merit to that of the prlma
donna whom he supported, it was but
natural to assume that he was OF stel-
lar caliber. Others there were who
contended that he was a good Leading
comedian. but that was all. After the

ment Of the company, OWNS II Was
said. to some disagreement between
the star and manager, the question re-
manned unsettled, and now once more
it is about to be revived.
The jefferson De Angels Opera
Company is the underlined attraction
at the Broadway theatre in this city.
The opera is "The jolly Musketeer.
the book of which is by Stanislaus
STANCE and the music by Julian Ed
wards, the author and composer re-
spectively of several meritorious oper-
attic works. The piece has been tried
on the road and in one or two large
cities with great success, and it now
remains to be seen whether De Angells
will be able to redeem himself and
blossom out, as it certainly seems he
deserves to do, into full fiedged ana
prosperous comic opera star.
A brief synopsis of Mr.. STANCES book
is herewith given. The action takes
place in Amiens, France, in the year
1884 during the siege of that city by
the Spaniards. This was that pictur-
esuue period of France when the lux
urious Louis XIV was king and Cardi-

I forced to disband. During all this
! time another company really merit0r-
louS, but in no sense comparable to the
Italians, was coming money not more
than five or six blocks away at the
American theatre, on Eighth avenue.
All OF which seems to indicate that
broadway opera SOerS are people OF
fashion who care little or nothing
J about the music and that Eighth ave-
nue. people approaching really good
opera and being able to avail them
selves OF it when it is presented at a

E. H. Sothern, toward the end of the
present month, will produce version
Of The Three Guardsmen" by Henry
Hamilton, a London playwright OF
some note. Naturally he Will have the
role of d Artagnan, and the revival of
this old favorlte ought to mean much
to Mr. Sothern, as it will demonstrate
beyond peradventure whether or not
he is capable of adequately portraying
the heroes Of the standard romantic
drama.
1t is question whether the theatre
goers of this country now care for the
bombastic drama which was SO popular
a few years ago, and it is also difficult
to see" Mr.. Sothern as the hero of
THE Three Guardsmen," for even
though his art be equal to the require
ments of the role, it would appear that
he is physically unsuited to it. Still,
he is so good an actor, ami his tech
nique has Improved so much of recent
a.
this coming venture should prove a
great success.
And, by the way, THE Three
Guardsmen" is having a wonderful
vogue just now on the other side of
the water. Lewis Waller, one of Beer
bohm Trees two leading men, the 9TH
er being Franklin McLeay several
months ago suggested to Sydney Grun-
dy the writing of a new version Of
THE Three Guardsmen" for Walters
use. Grundy, so the story goes, re-
ported the matter to Tree, who is his
consistent friend, and Tree was so inn
pressed with Walters views that he
forthwith ordered Grundy to prepare
the play for him. Waller in the mean
time secured another version, and,
hearing of this, aspiring playwrights
Immediately set to work to revivify
the old drama. with the result that
England has already seen no less than
four dramatiZations of it.

Most comedies after three months of
use bear very little resemblance to
their original selves, but this rule does
not hold good in the case Of The Little

man, there has not been line changed

art appears to have reached only the
budding state of its development. Most
competent critics are of the opinion
that she is now giving a performance
which is so per cent. better than that
OF the opening night. This is not I'M
natural, perhaps, when the nervousness
attendant upon such functions is con-
sidered.
Miss Anglin has frequently been re-
ferred to Ill the papers as an American
girl, and she is, in the sense that she
was born in North America She first
saw the light of day in the speaker
chamber of the parliament building at
Ottawa. Her father was at the time
speaker of the House of Commons and
was for years prior and subsequent to
this important event in Miss Anglin's
career prominent figure in Canadian
public life.
At the age Of II Miss Anglin's came
to New York and entered a school of
acting, from which, after the regular
course, she was engaged by Charles
Frohman for the revival Of "Shenen-
dcah" at the Academy Of Music. In
this piece she played at different times
three widely different roles. TIE fol-
lowing summer she spent in Buffalo as
member Of stock company. and the
experience gained there has since
proved invaluable to her Then fol-
lowed engagements with Charles Rohlfs
and William Morris Next she was the
leading woman OF the James ONeil
company, In which she added to her
experience by playing Ophelia, Vir-
ginia, etc. During the summers of 1897
and 1898 she had company of her
own in the provinces of Canada, and
during the winter of 1875 she was a
minor member of Mr.. E. H. Sothern's
company. Mr.. Mansfield became i'm
pressed with the young lady's ability
and engaged her for the part of Rox-
ane. with the result which the whole
country already Knows.

nal Richelieu was the power behind
the throne. Henri, count de Beaupret
(The Jolly Musketeer) has fallen III
love with Yvette, the pretty daughter
of Didot Blanc, the proprietor of the
Cafe Richelieu. Henri's papa refuses
to consent to his sons marriage to an
innkeeper's daughter, and being high
in the favor of the court, threatens all
concerned with Imprisonment in the
Bastile. The lovers are thus parted.
Francois, the marquis de Chantilly,
Henri's lifelong friend, appears, and
Henri cOnfideS to him his grief and
embarrassment. The marquis has
been condemned to death for lighting
a duel in defiance of Richelieu's man
date and has just received a letter
from the cardinal acquainting him with
his fate, but permitting him to die, in
recognition of his well known BRAY
cry, by his own hand. This unhappy
fact is not known to any one save the
marquis himself. He decides to help
Henri to happiness by marrying
Yvette. who would thus become a
marchioness and eligible for noble
marriage.
Francois does not confide his plan to
Henri, fearing that it may be divulged,
but promises his friend that he shall
surely marry the beautiful Yvette.
When the marquis meets Yvette. he
discovers that she is none other than
the girl whose face he saw within the
Wishing Well and with whom he fell
violently in love. Yvette returns his
affection. The marquis is bound by
his oath to keep his promise to Henri,
who returns with his regiment to find
that the woman the marquis swore he
should wed has been married to his
friend. Francois in turn believes that
Yvette, though his wife, loves Henri.
In justice to the authors, it would
scarcely be fair to disclose the de-
nouement of this interestingly compli-
Gated situation. Suffice it to say that
the action cumulates to a comedy eli
max, which has an unexpected unrav-
cling just at the final curtain. The
Jolly Musketeer" is in two acts. The
first shows the flower market in Amins
on June morning, while the second
discloses the ballroom of the Chateau
Chantilly on the evening of the same
day. The cast of characters is as fol-

and apparently with good reason, that
there is probably not another play on
the American stage today about which
the same thing may be truthfully said.
They have a queer way of doing
things in the theatrical business over
in London. Little Miss Nobody
which, it will be remembered, was al
most a record breaking failure in this
country short time ago, appears to be
considerable of success On the other
side of the water. Rumor has it that
the financial hacker of the play over
there is Victor Cavendish, who will
some day be the Duke OF Deyonshlre.
Lydia West, little soubrette who is
said to be possessed of great ability, is
reported to have interested his lord
ship-to-be in the venture. Miss west
plays one of the Triplett sisters. All
of this is commonplace enough, put
here is where the queer British metnod
comes in. In the same piece there Is
or was a dancer, Miss Davine Kerry
by name. She is said to have scored
anything but a hit, though that made
little or no difference to the proprie-
tors of the piece, inasmuch as, II
Dame Rumor be right, the young lady,
SO far from receiving an enormous
salary, as might be expected, actually
paid the sum Of $1,000 for the privi-
lege of being permitted to appear.
When, the morning after the produc-
ton of ''Cyrano De Bergerac" by Rich
ard Mansfield at the Garden Theatre
in this city, the whole town was ring
ing with the praises of Margaret An
glin, the young woman who made
positive triumph in the part of Roxane,
there were many persons who were OF
the opinion that as time wore on her
work would lose the artistic finish and
naturalness Combined, which were it's
greatest charm. This, however, mas
proved very great mistake, for, so
far from deteriorating, Miss Anglins
