chief events of the season. The brilliant
De Lussan will essay the title role in Bi-

Saturday afternoon, the first matinee OF
the season, will again give us Melba in
her role of Rossina in the brilliant work
of RossiniI. THE Barber of Seville" It
is not at all necessary to allude to Melba
Rosina. 1t is probably a slight repetition
of history that the occasion Of her debut
in this character in San FRANCISCO was
the day on which the United States de- de-
clared war against Spain. Bonnard Will

Figaro, one of his best characters; Bou-

THE OUTER WORLD
Comment and News Of Distant
PLAYS and PlaVers.

This is What Charles e. Nixon of the
Chicago Inter Ocean has to say about the
boom for stock companies throughout the
West: THE revival of the old stock sys-
tenn is naturally in accord with the eco
nomic tendency of the times-the de-
mands for cheaper forms of entertain
ment. There are more theaters than
there are attractions, and the men who
own the theaters have been in a measure
forced to create entertainment or have
their houses remain dark. The prevail
ing taste for vaudeville has left host of
minor actors idling in the cleaning, while
the theatrical syndicate largely controls
the high class and high priced attractions,
the field of production, and encourages
long runs These are the current condi-
tions that initiate against the lesser cities
getting the novelties in the higher lines of
theatrical production. The stock system
certainly has it's virtues for those cities
where half loaf is better than none, and
really deserves encouragement. The local
companies are doing good work in this
city and the doctrine of protection is GER
tafnly good one TO apply to this species
of artistic industry.
Pretty soon Chicago will produce man
who will be able to convince his towns
man that he wrote the plays of Shakes
neare. S. E. Gross of that city is ready TO
swear and prove that Rostand stole from
him the best parts of "Cyrano de Ber-

cago newspaper man, who says that sew
eraI years ago he submitted a play by
the name of Congress to Nat Goodwin,
which was afterward produced under the
title of Ambition" with. Henry Guy
Carleton named as author, has sued Mr..
Goodwin for $5O,0OO damages and secured
a verdict for $40 900. The name of the
young newspaper man is John Milo Max
we'll.
The decision on the merits of the two
plays was made, it is said, before vote
was taken on the question of piracy. On
this question the vote of the jury was
also unanimous, as was also the vote on
the amount of the award. Without being
in the least puffed up by the victory Mr..
Maxwell feels that the opinion of twelve
men in a jury box on the merits alone of
the two productions is entitled to as much
consideration as the judgment of dramat-
ic critics.
1t was while on a vacation in Wiscon-
sin in 1894 that Mr.. Maxwell evolved the
piay entitled Congress. The actual work
of writing it consumed about four months
time. IT was submitted to Goodwin while
that actor was stopping at the Auditori-
um and remained in his hands for week
Goodwin rejected the play on the excuse
that it dealt too much with the labor
question. Mr.. Maxwell is going to write
another play, now that he has emerged
from the darkness of obscurity under
such favorable circumstances He feels
has suffered nothing in comparison by the
side of that successful playwright, Henry
Guy Carleton, and argues that a second
effort will receive at least consideration
at the hands of the critics.
The remarks of Israel Zangwill continue
to stir the waters. The Chicago Dial CO.
incides with Mr.. ZangwilPs views; in
some particulars going deeper into. causes
and conditions than even the noted lee
turer In the concluding portions of its
article on the subject the Dial makes use
of the following:
In literature the finest forms of art are
accessible to everybody. This statement
is also measurably true of music and
painting and sculpture. One can, to a
considerable extent. come to understand
the ideals of these arts by the study of
photographs and scores. AT all events,
the large cities afford actual examples of
the highest achievements of these arts.
But even the large cities rarely, If ever,
afford to the spectator examples of what
the art dramatic at its highest can do.
They may show us marvellous stage ef-
fects but they do not show us sincerity
of purposes and unity of artistic endeav-
or In this respect it is true that in Eng
land and America the drama stands upon
a lower level than the other arts. we

compelled the return home of Ternina

deeply regretted for her sake as well as
for selfish reasons, by public and manage

The Gray Felt Hat.

What queer thing is our soldier hat!
Who ever dreamed of a tile like that
To deck the head of a soldier boy
The battles hero and the artists joy!
Where are the feathers. buttons and braid
Wherein our forces were once arrayed-
The gay kept, the bearskin cap,
The fancy helmet and jingling strap?
Gone where the woodbine used to twine-
Gone like the rout that broke the line
Like the Spanish feets-or last years
Gone Where all the rubbish goes!
For the Yankee to-day is practical man,
Who goes to war on a practical plan.
The militant Yankees plain felt hat
Looks odd; but it doesn't roof fiat.
Do you remember, in sixty-one,
When the late unpleasantness was begun.
The togs that were worn? What a mas
querade!
Big zouave .breeches, gilt tasseled boots.
Silkfrogged jackets, rainbow suits!
But those lads saw hghting-bled and
And learned to put fuss and feathers
aside.
There's something rather businessIike.
In that dull gray slouch without a spike;
It's warm against the winters SHOWS;
1t keeps the sun from eyes and nose.
And, wet or dry, It's devil-may-care,
With a very taking bulldog air.
You may poke it up or fatten 1t out,
Roll it, stretch it or throw it about;
In fact, it's a rough-and-ready hat.
The Yankee himself, for the matter Of
that,
Is much the same, when it comes to style,
AS his simple, useful, capable tile.
He marches and fights in "git-thar'
way.
And where he lights he's safe to stay.
Rifle shooting's his national game
On land or sea, its all the same.
