Browns In Town.

There is no name upon which
more indignity has been heaped,
nor any name that has been respon-
sible for more that is bright, clever
and startling than the dulcet name
of Brown. 1t is doubtful too if there
is any other edifce large enough to
hold all the Browns there are, in
which case the Opera House ought
to be taxed to its utmost with those
who will want to see the latest far
cical effusion, Browns in Town. "
The author has constructed farce
which is said to be entirely new in
its theme, and one that is original
in its lines and situations. The
plot hinges on a secret marriage
which the young man wishes to keep
from his father, whose matrimonial
experiences were such as to give
him just cause for prohibiting his
son from taking unto himself wife,
| Farces such as "Brown S in Tow" "
rely on a measure upon the people
interpreting them. They must not
only be good actors, but actors es-
pecially adapted to farcical work.
( This farce has players who will
fulfil their requirements admirably.
If you are a Brown or if you know
a Brown, his reasons for being IN
town will surely appear particular
Ily funny to you. AT the Opera

The. career of "The Smart Set, '
the new standard monthly magazine
that has just been published in New
York, will be watched with keen in-
terest by reason of the fact that it
sets out to be the literary organ of
society-that element of civilization
that is usually supposed to be with
out brains. AS a matter of fact, the
first number Of "The Smart Set" is
startling refutation of this con-
ventional theory, in that it is bril-
hantly written from start to finish,
and the contributors of social re-
nown hold their own with those
whose fame is distinctly literary.
"The Idle Born, the leading feat
ure of the number, is by H. c. Chat
held-Taylor ahd Reginald de
koven, and is a fierce travesty on
their own set. Other contributors
are Mrs. Burton Harrison, Julien
Gordon, Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger, Caroline Duer, Sarah Coop
er Hewett, Eliot Gregory, Julien
hawthorne. Edgar Saltus, and
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The maya
zine is handsomely printed, and is
