That Fortune. BY Charles Dudley
Warner. While entirely an independent
story. That Fortune is really the final
ney In tie World and continued in The
Golden House. In tha first book the an .
thor described how a great fortune was
made in Wall street; in the second he
showed how some of 1t was diverted by
fraud. In That Fortune the story Of Car
men and Mr.. Mavick, her husband, Is
continued, and the character of their
young daughter Evelyn, which develops
with the story, Is very interesting one.
The description OF life In the Maviok
mansion on Fifth Avenue with its lavish
expenditure of money, and with the many
fine characters who appear In the story,
makes 1t very interesting. The vast for
tune which Mavick controlled after his
marriage had under his skillful manipu-
lation nearly doubled, when the crash
came which crippled him and deprived
Carmen of all she most valued; the sus-
tanning power of wealth and place In
the great world. 10 Evelyn, and to
Philip Burnett her lover. tho loss of for
tune brought very happy results. The
story written in Mr.. Warmers happiess
manner, Is very bright and interesting.

Charlie Harrington, the well known fmi- tator of musical instruments and animals, is still with the laughing farce, "The Real Widow Brown" which comes to O'Brien's opera house next Tuesday night, playing his old part of Teddy" and presenting his speciality. This is one of the most novel of features, inasmuch as he gives correct limitations of seventeen different musical instruments, using only his lips and nose in the execution of these seem ingly impossible feats. MT. Harrington is endowed iby nature with most wonderful gift.

Frederick ard the Press

The press of the world owes more to Frederick the Great than to any other ruler for he was the father of free speech in the newspapers. Shortly after Frederick became king of Prussia he issued a mani festo to the press of his country, giving them carte blanche to publish and discuss any subject or topic. In reply to an inter- rogation concerning the expediency of such a proceeding, Frederick, with his character istic suavity, said: My people and I un- derstand each other. They are to say whatever they please, while am to do just as please So we are both satisfied" The inoculation thus mnistered became so con- tagious that it was but a few years after wards when the press of Europe were per- mitted to print matters that few years prior would have been considered treason- able.

~THE PLAYS

James H. Racket in Rupert of Hentzau- It was the cleverest acting seen on the Bir- mingham stage this season. Hackett is young; yet he is a polished and a finished actor; he is thorough. In Rupert of Hent- zau there Is room for all the talent that the most finished actor might possess. Hackett assumes the dual role of Rudolf Rassendyll and King Rudolf " of Ruita- mia-the gallant Englishman and the weak broken and dissolute king.
 In each he was perfect, or as near per- feet as our imagination will lead us. Soth- ern is not his superior, and he promises in maturity to become the star of the Amer ican stage. Those who saw him last night, and they were plenty-the house was filled to overfio wing-can each and every one vouch for this. Every curtain fall was fol- lowed by spontaneous and enthusiastic ap- plause. Time after time the curtain was rung up for him to bow, and at the conclu- sion of the third act, the applause was so vociferous that MT. Hackett was forced to appear before the curtain to make brief and clever little speech of thanks. His speech, like his acting, was finished. The man wears a polish which is genuine; it is apparently bred in the grain.
 His support, like all that which Frohmam sends out, is good Miss Rowland as Fla via has a difficult part. She is pretty but not quite equal to Anthony Hopes crea- tion. She began too strong, or rather too intense, still she won the favor of the au- dience and that is the best test after all.
 Arthur Hoops, as Rupert of Hentzau, was the villain of the play, and more gentle manly villain is rarely seen on the stage.
 Others of the company were each we'll adapted to his or her part and the result was an extremely clever entertainment.
