known, too. that Mr.. Taber has made
overtures to Mr.. Frohman, asking that
he be allowed to rejoin his wife, but
that Mr.. Frohman has refused. This
attitude was taken by the manager be-
cause of the fact that theater managers

with her husband. we lost money on
their engagements. Now that she is
plain Julia MaTlowe again and a single
star we make money. We don't want
any more MarloWe-Taber combma-

There is no doubt that Mr.. Taber is
anxious to get back to this country and
go a-touring with his wife He is at
present in London. where he is out of
an engagement, not because of any
lack of talent, but due entirely to IL
ness. He was engaged for the Lyceum
production of the dramatization of
Dickens Tale of Two Cities but was
unable to appear. He has spent many
weeks in hospital, and could not ac-

A queer combination of the quaint
and curious sights of everyday life will
be seen in the farce comedy. "McFad-
denis Row of Flats" which will be seen
at the Grand on May A, and g. The

caricatures of the celebrated artist, r.
r. Outcault, and the dramatization Of

e. w. Townsend, the able journalist,
widely known as the creator of the
World-famed "Chimmie Fadden,' whose
dongs and sayings have been one of
the great attractions of the press of
New York for the past few years. The
copyright of "McFadden's Row of
Flats is the property Of the New York
Journal, in which the series of cartoons
have appeared. The play will intro
duce all the characters known to the
reader of this paper, especially that
funniest creature of the generation, the
Yellow Kid, whose pranks and pre-
cocity have been the delight of both
old and young. In presenting "McFad-
denis Row of Flats for public appro-
baton, the management has given
every attention to detail. Not only has
he had the best sketches made of the
rickety and ramshacke sections of New
York city, but has given personal su-
pervision to the painting and prepara-
ton of the scenery in order to present
a stage picture in perfect accord with
the New York Journals cartoons

Manager Sutton of the Union Family
| theater has secured two clever people
| to head his stock company. They are
| Albert Hosmer and Miss Hattie Ross

of ability and Miss Ross is we'll spoken
of as a talented actress. and they will

The balance of the new company
| which will make it's first appearance on
Sunday, May I, will be all that can be
desired. The opening bill will be a
three act comedy entitled "a High
| Roller
A number of clever vaudeville artists
| have also been secured and will open at
the Union on the same date.
The Chicago river caught fire a few
| days ago and nearly burned up, which
| leads a writer in the New York Tee-
graph to say that 'it is believed that a
strict investigation to be instituted by
| the authorities will fasten responsibility
| for the dreadful disaster upon some one
of the many Butte City song and dance
ladies now appearing in the local con-
| tinuous shows, for several of them have
| been heard to declare that they We're
| bound to set the river on fire. if they
ever secured a Chicago opening"
N. c. Goodwin, so they say, has de-
| q inc Sta a
son, when he will charge 50 apiece fol
orchestra seats wherever he may ap-
| pear. This is the recognized tariff in
! New York. but in other cities it has
been found difficult to make the exac-
ton, excepting in connection with the
visits of the greatest foreign stars
| Maude Adams has succeeded in com.
handing this price, and so has Richard
| Mansfield. If Mr.. Goodwin is equally
| fortunate it is quite likely that all the
| leading attractions will follow suit ir
| due course.
The appearance of Tommaso Salvin
| with his son Gustav is significant ir
| view of the prohibition against acting
in Italy which he imposed on his sons
some years ago. He gave liberal sums
of money to them on condition that
they would not act in Italy in his lfe-
| time, as he wished the name of Salvin

| some years on bad terms with his
father. He Travelled in other European
| countries and in South America.

salaries, and he refused to play. The
! audience was dismissed, and now there
are various threats of suits for dam
