Story OF the Piece To b. Given nv

Public taste is fortunately now de-
handing more than a vehicle for spe-
cialties in q comedy. The success OF
What Happened 20 Jones?'' The Man

dia,' The Late Mr.. Jones" and other
recent hits, proves that a plot is most
acceptable. The story of The Late
Mr.. Jones is a very interesting one.
Gregory Grayson, a rising young law
yer. has written a tragedy which IS
about ID be produced AZ the time the
play opens. Until its success is as
sUred he keeps it a secret from his
wife; meanwhile the visits OF the aC-
tors 10 his Office. the rehearsals behind
closed doors. and a few lines of the
plot overheard by a Dibulous caves
dropping old clerk, convinces the lat
ter that a horrible murder is COntem-
plated. He engages a detective who
discovers nothing but Clews, and as
sists in the confusion. The leading
lady's husband. Merry and Grayson's
own mother-in-law. become suspicious
also, and hiding in the office. become
certain that a plot is on foot to kill
them, and more complications ensue.
The leading actor having failed Mr..
Grayson at the last moment, the serv-
ices of Macready Burbage, a broken
down actor, are engaged. The charac-
ter of Burbage is perhaps one OF the
funniest creations of the modern
stage. The broken-down Thespian.

now eager for the slightest chance al
anything. from a free lunch to- a
dime. combining in his person the
actor, itinerant photographer and
agent for soap, gas jets and other do

McVay. The late Mr.. Jones himself
appears only as his portrait, he was
the first spouse of Mrs. Grayson, and
is supposed TO have been eaten by can
nibals. Through ingenious weaving
Burbage is taken for the late Mr..
Jones.

BAD COOLIES.

News from Fiji shows that the cool
les are still maintaining their unpleas-
ant record for crime. At the recent
criminal sessions of the Supreme
Court, the list of ofrenses was perhaps
the heaviest in the history of the col
ony. Almost every offense is repre-
scented, says the Sydney Morning Her
aid, among the list being several cases
Of murder, and the coolies provid
about so per cent Of the calendar. As
a sample of the type OF misdeeds per
petrated by this alien race. we hear o!
an oyerseer at Labassa. in the employ
Of the Sugar Company. being sayagely
assaulted by coolies. and getting his
head badly cut open. 1t is plain that
one of the problems that is likely q
give increasing trouble in Fiji Is the
proper control Of this horde of Indian
workers on the sugar plantations. S,a-
tistics so TO show that they are in
creasing in numbers.

GOMEZ IS
REINS1ATED
As Commander in Chief of the
CubanS.
DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY
Will Probably be Made Soon to the
TrO0ps--Canned Meat Was
Found Worthless

Havana, April THE Cuban generals
met today at Marianao and officially de-
cided to reinstate Gen. Gomez as COM
mander IN chief. They also decided to
appoint an executive board of three gen.
erals to assist him in distributing the ST.
900, 900 and in the detail of disarninG
and in the organization of the rural police
fer the province. He will be officially no.
titled of their action and q proclamation
probably will be issued to the Cubans.
Gen. Rafael P~ortuondo, chairman of
the executive committee of the former
military assembly. called upon Gov. Gen.
Brooke today and discussed with him the
recent actions of the assembly leading to
it's dissolution. He did not offer the Gu
ban muster rolls directly, though it had
been minated by several former mem
bers of the assembly that these are at the
disposal of the military authorities when
ever they are wanted. The Americans,
however, will not make any requests Of
the assembly's executive committee.
Mai. Gen. Wilson, military governor of
the department of Matanzas, says in the
course of a private letter that all the
Cubans formerly in arms in the Matan-
zas province are now understood to be
in industrial employment.

AT THE THEAHERS.

At the Grand opera house, on Monday,
matinee Wednesday afternoon, Nance
O'NeIl, the young American tragedienne,
the greatest versatile star of the times,
will make her first appearance in this
city. Local patrons of the drama who
keep in line with matters theatrical, are
we'll aware of the wonderful progress
made by this young star during the past
few years. 1t is said that her efforts
merit the WarmeSt praise for their earn
estness. excellence and distinction. AL
though a very young actress, Miss ONeil
has enjoyed a rare experience in her art,
serving an apprenticeship under Mckee
Rankin, one of the best of teachers. She
has acquired unconsciously the repose of
the old school and the life-stirrings of
the new, thus fusing the best elements
of both. Her record in New York was
truly wonderful, she having played a new
part every week for an entire season at
the Murray Hill theater. Her repertoire
is certainly not limited, as she plays sue
cessfully such parts as Camille, Nancy
Sykes, Magda, Leah, Meg Merrilees,
Parthenia, and has but lately presented,
with marvellous success, her interpreted
ton of Elizabeth, in the play of that name
made famous by the great Ristori. The
character of England'S greatest queen is
cast in the heroic mold best adapted to
Miss O'NeilS effective methods, and is
dependent so completely on StatueSque
appearance and commanding voice that
Miss O'Neil need fear no rivalry when
once she has popularized the great play,

Over in st. Louis Miss Grayce Scott is
attracting some notice as one woman who
is a living refutation of the theory that
there can be no excellence without ambi-
ton. The many friends of the popular in
genue formerly at the Pike, will be inter-
ested to hear that recently, when asked
regarding the subject, Miss Scott de-
clared that she had no ambition to be a
great actress.

me a Bit" she said. Il have no wish to be
famous. l am ambitious for him." point

as she has had the fortune to do with
several others during the past year. Ris-
tori, in Elizabeth, had no equal IN her
day and time and few imitators, for it
is a role which requires an immense
amount of careful study in order to meet
the demand of the ever-watchful critic
of the historical play. Having proved
her ability to do justice to the role. Miss
O'Neil has again made herself worthy to
rank with the very best actresses of the
day.

"A Bachelors Honeymoon which IS
announced for May IS and IA at the
Grand, is a farce in the true sense of the
word and not Il conglOmerate hodge podge
like the majority of the entertainments
that have been served up to us of late
years under that classification. The
author, John Stapleton, has mbibe the
spirit of the French and German writer's
and produced a play that is not only full
of brilliant wit, clever situations and
original IDEAS but also exceedingly funny
without cOarseness or offensive vulgar
ity. The very title implies fun and mys-
terry and the universal verdict of the
critics has been that there is abundance
of it. The story of the play involves the
fortunes and tTibulationS of a man who
tries to keep his second marriage secret
from his family and friends by practicing
deceits and falsehoods until he and all
the cast are mixed in an almost mex
tricable net of f~arcical mystery and
trouble. The subject is not strikingiy
original, but the authors treatment of it
is so novel and ingenious that it has eX-
cited the admiration of the critics every
where it has been presented.
An excellent mpan will be seen in
the cast here, including the jolly comedian
Walter Walker and his merry associates
Messrs. FRANKLIN Hill, Emil Hoch, Frank
Lynden, George MOrehead, Miss Enieda
Williams, Miss Mildred st. Pierre, Miss

Stuart Robson. who comes to the
Grand Opera House for two nights only
April 26 and - has been meeting with
mere han a fair measure of success dur
ing the present theatrical t erm. The
reason for this, other than the personal
popularity in which this esteemed actor
is held, is found in the personnel of his
supporting company, which includes sew
eral names almost as distinguished as
the star they environ. Mr.. Robson has
two new plays this year, one from the
pen of Augustus Thomas. entitled "..rhe
Meddler," and the other from the dra-
matte workshop Of Theodore Burt Sayre,
called 1.-TWO Rogues and a Romance"
In both of these plays Mr.. Robson is said
to have the character to portray that is
particularly Wcll suited to his peculiar,
Yet eccentric, requirements.
Marie Burroughs is Mr.. Robson's lead
ing lady on his present tour, and she has
been the recipient of many attentions
from both press and public in the eastern
cities, who it seems, consider Miss Bur
rou9hs one of Americas representative
leading ladies. Miss Burroughs is a very
