OUR STAGE THIS WEEK.

Nine. Pliar-Morin in my Cousin " and
Miss Nethersoie in "The ProHirate "A

ernor" tn broadway Current Bills.
Henry Meilhac's comedy MY Cousin - was
performed in America half q dozen years ago
in tho original French by limo Rejane and her
company. But we shall get IL for the first
time In English tomorrow night at Wallack's
Theatre. 1t will be made to serve. incidentally.
the debut Of Mime. Pilar-Morin as a speaking
actress. She has figured in this country hith-
| erto only rs an exponent OF the art OF panto-
mime. The audience must DO prepared for
| things less dainty than the personality Of the
actress. Ma Cousine Ia torwardly and un-
cquivocally indecent as written by Its au-
thor. and the outgivlngs do not indicate that
the translator has belittled its dominant wick
edness. Marital lnndelity is It's subject. That
Is an old. old theme with Partisan authors Of
stage literature. but they are wonderfully in
| ventive OF new illustrations Meilhac's fer
tility in devislng complications between hus-
bands. wives and their paramours Is we'll
known. He did not let modesty hinder him In
| this instance.
An old play by Arthur W. Pinero will be new
to our stage tomorrow night. Tho Profit
gate" was produced in London a decade ago.
But no moro than q single act at n students
matinee has been performed in New York.
Olga NetherBole advertised IL at the Harlem
Opera House last month. but illness compelled
her to break the engagement. She Is vol again
and ready for the delayed production. This
Is an especially interesting venture by Miss
Nethersole, inasmuch as the character
to be assumed by her IS a pure and even
prudish young wife, utterly unlike the caloric
heroines hitherto portrayed by this strongly
emotional actress. Tho wife has believed that
her husbands life has been as c%ircumsrect as
her own. She befriends an unfortunate girl.
and learns that tho profigate In the case Is the
very man OF whom sho has deemed such a
thing impossible. The piece Is written in
Pinero's best style. Within the week she will
appear also In Carmen" -" Camille" and The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
Those members OF the Empire stock COM
pany who were sent to the Lyceum to enact
His Excellency the Governor" will to-mor-
row night be returned to their Broadway homo
with that comedy. Jessie Mlllward surely has
done nothing better at the Empire than her
breezy. jovial and irresistibly humorous per-
Torrance OF the audacious venturer in this
rather unexpectedly successful play. which
will be enabled to remain with us until hot
weather shall drive it of.
Stuart Robson will spend the week at the
Grand Opera House. The play will be THE
Meddler." which he brought out ut Wallack's
last autumn and has been using since on his
tour as the principal play in his repertory. 1t
is a comedy. with its serious interest pretty
thoroughly imbued with humor. There is no
reason to expect that it will not be performed
rs well in Eighth avenue as it was in Broad
way. The company still contains Frank {.
Bangs. Harold Russell. Edwin Holt. Marie
Burroughs, Mrs. Robson and Ida Van Cortland.
Next week the Grand's season will round up
with Chauncey Oicott.
We are to have a reproduction Of Ibsen's
Ghosts" at Carnegie Lyceum n week from
