new play, a Reign of Error" tells this
story on Maurice Barrymore:
The scene was England, and the time
many years ago. Barrymore mad been
acting at one Of the London theatres,
and had made a bit of a name for him
self when he was engaged to appear
at the ST. James. The play was melo-
drama Of society nature. and MRS.
Kendall was leading lady. The scenery
was very realistic for those days. and
among other things was cataract or
real water, which ran down the noun
tain outside the Neapolitan palace.
Mr. Bsrrymore's strongest scene was
with Mrs. kendall. 1t took place in the
courtyard OF palace open TO the sky,
with the beautiful blue sea on one side
and the mountain on the other. He
was TO declare his love. Forward he
sprang TO clasp her hand, and as he
did so she drew back. Barrymore fell
flat on his face. and Mrs. Kendall fell
backward, sitting down on the stage
kerplunk. The cataract had broken
loose and made the stage as slippery
as ice. The scene was eXcruciating. as
can readily be imagined, and. of course
IL was accentuated by the prominence
of the players involved in II.

firing snowballs at every one that

whether the traveller wished 10 take
part in such sport or not. An officer
from the Second station heard of what
was going on from parties who were
hit by the snowballs and went TO the
place Men who gave the names OF
Harry Fisher, Simon Kanfrin and Hen

are frequent, but every number Of tho
Roman personel has given his or her

Sardou's bright sketch is gwen with a
charm of manner that delighted a cul-
tivated and pretty critical audience.
Mr. Roman himself supports tha
leading part, portraying very admra-

rather unscrupulous young officer
There are several passages between the
Captain and Lady Arnold-Miss Alethe
