NTHE PLAYS

One of the events which failed to cast
a shadow before was the union of forces
by r. D. MacLean, Odette Tyler and
Charles B. Hanford. A comparatively few
weeks ago this combination, which is now
attracting the attention of the entire
country, was unthought. Of even by Its
members Mr.. Hanford was starring pros
perously, winning applause and critical
commentator for his own work and for
the richness of the scenic ecu pment he
presented Mr. MacLean and his talented
WIFE who still makes herself known on
the programmes by the name which was
hers when she first won fame, were living
In undistured seclusion on their beautiful
country place In West Virginia. 1t is an
axiom that people who once hear the APP
plause of the theater never lose their in
terest in the stage. The announcement
that Mr.. Hanford was to play an engage
ment In Washington, d. c.. caused Mr.. and
Mrs. MacLean to visit that city for the
sake of at least seeing good plays even
IL they no longer engaged in their presenta-
ton. Before the weeks engagement In
Washington was concluded an arrangement
was made by which Mr. MacLean and Miss
Tyler were to resume the careers which,
as true artists they could never wholly
forsake, and Mr.. Hanford was enabled to
engage upon the enterprise which had long
been his dream; the production of the clas-
sic drama with such a cast of characters
as would give every role It's full share of
attention. All are artists of such calbre
as to be beyond the reach of petty jeal-
ousies The calcium light shines equally
upon each, and the public has expressed its
approval of the enterprise upon which they
have embarked In the most convincing
manner possible. Miss Tylers portrayal
of Shakespearean characters has fully re-
allied the predictions which were made for
her when she first stepped forward and
commanded recognition as one of the lead
ing actresses of the country.
This fine company will be seen at
OBrens opera house on Wednesday and
Thursday In the following strong repertoire:
Wednesday night, Romeo and Juliet"
Thursday matinee, 1.-THE Merchant of Ven
Ice;" Thursday night, "Othello."

KIPLING'S CONDITION.

New York, February 25.-Rudyard Kip
ling's condition remained serious through
out the dey and as no Improvement was
apparent towards night, much anxiety was
manifested. So seriously did the ply
sicians consider their patient at O'Clock
that they issued the following bulletin:
Mr.. Kipling has been in a serious con-
dition throughout the afternoon and even
ing, which causes anxiety, but not without
hope" Later tonight 1t was stated Mr..
Kipling was resting more easily. He raj.
lied from his weak condition, though not to
any great extent.

year: and prices Of commodities which
trusts do not at all control have adj
