Mounet Suly has added Othello to his
repertoire. The general probability
of the effect of this performance is well
summed up by Fouquier. "This per-
Torrance reflects great honor on the
Francois. Shall we conclude that the
French public will be so conquered
that it will accept all that forms the
Shakespeare drama? I am always a
trifie skeptical about that. That drama,
with it's awkwardness, it's incoherences
and its beauties, is like a stormy sky,
often black and heavy, with illumina-
lions and flashes against the clouds.
That is not the sky which belongs with
the French climate"
There is a story, said to be true, that

Mrs. James Brown Potter will ap-
pear with Beerbohm Tree in "Carnae
Sahib," which Henry Arthur Jones has
written for the HaymaGket Theatre.
1t is a comedy Of English army life in
India, with many picturesque scenic
fleets, characteristic of the country.
Beerbohm Tree was said to have ac-
cepted recently a play by Paul Potter
on the same subject. 1t was not his
drama "The Victoria Cross" Mr..
Tree recently applied for permission to
give ar English version of "Oedipus
Tyrannus," but the censor refused to
allow it. Kyrle Bellew is to act in
"Robespierre' with Sir Henry Irving
and so fill Seymour Hicks. 1t is said
in London that George Edwardes is be-
hind George Lederer as manager of the
Lyric Theatre in London.
l understand that Maude Adams has
remarked to a few of her friends that
she finds a little difficulty now and then
in being letter-perfect in "The Little
Minister" and this would strike most
persons as being peculiar in view of the
fact that Miss Adams has played Bah
BILE now for nearly two seasons. But
she is only following the example of
other noted players who have found
that for some occult reason, after they
have played a part several hundred
times, the prompter's services are
again in order wen as they were at
the dress rehearsal and first night.
Dion Boucicault used to remark that
when he was playing Con for the sew
eral hundredth times, he could go on
hastily after a convivial dinner, giving
scarcely any heed to the lines, and get
through the performance in capital
fashion. Yet were he to collect him
self, so to speak, and interrogate him
self as to the speeches following, he
would become flustered, and not infre-
quently have to ask some one of his as
sociates on the stage precisely the Ian
guage that he would have to employ
