the American rights and will produce the now famous French play early ln the autumn. Henry Irving's reason for not producing "Cyrano'' in London is said to be based on the fact that Miss Terry and young Irving, who journeyed to Paris especially to see the original performance, pronounce it un- translate ble, too poetically undramatic for the English tongue and English taste. However, this news will have only a stimulating effect on Mansfield, who in more than one curtain speech has confessed himself several times better actor and manager than his col league of the London Lyceum.
 When Miss Ethel Barrymore's en- gagement to Laurence Irving was an- nounced her father, Maurice Barry more. cabled: Have just heard of your engagement. Heartiest congrat- ulations."

The New York papers have taken up the subject of the too frequent benefit performances which impose on actors and managers. With few exceptions the most notable one being Modjeska, who thinks that if vaudeville and other artists are able to appear in continuous" bills and are not taxed, as they can do little extra work now and then for either charity or art-both managers and actors vote the benefit an imposition and a nuisance. The directors of the Actors Fund have taken a hand in the matter and will see to it that law is passed which will reserve for the Fund a fair per centage of the receipts of every bene- fit performance.

The important changes at the OrN pheum this week especially include a one-act comedy entitled Mrs. Hogan's Music Teacher" in which the principaA parts are played by Charles T.

This is something of a new departure for the Orpheum. but is in keeping with the latest vauoe- vile fad in having a comedy or dra- matic skit in which the parts are played by people from the legitimate stage.
