AMONG THE PLAYERS.


The merriest show Of the season is
announced for tonight at the Opera
House in the engagement of the great
favorite, May Irwin, In ''The Belle Of
Bridgeport" the new play with which
she has lately created such an extraor-
dinaiy success. Miss Irwin's career is
a noteworthy one. and when one reai-
ICES that this triumphant star of to-
day was a few years ago merely one Of
the Irwin sisters. known only I'm vau-
deville. and when one considers that
since that time Miss Irwin has been as
lsoclated prominently with Chas. FrOh-
man, and was for four years member
of Augustin Days company, one finds
that she has literally worked her way
TO the front and earned the enyiab.e
position she now occupies in the fore
most rank of the profession.
There are several reasons for this. In
the first place Miss Irwin is geniality
Itself, on or OF the stage, and her
presence always lends to the atmos-
phere an air OF pleasantly and good
fellowship which make one FORGET
everything but tlklt he or she is in
good company. Miss Irwin is as good
stage manager az SHE IS a player, and
all her pieces are produced under her
personal direction and supervision.
Last, but by no means least, Miss Irwin
Is not one Of those stars who want the
centre OF the stage, and discharge an
actor as soon as il is demonstrated
that he makes a 'hit." Instead Of this.
she is always On the lookout for ma
terial TO add to her already strong
company, which is evidenced by the
presence this time Of Raymond Hitch
COCK the leading comedian of the
Three Little Lambs" last year.
George A. Beane. who may be remem-
bered for his important positions in
many OF Hoyts best companies;
Jacques Kruger, who strangely
enough made his debut on the stage
with Miss Irwin when she first appear
cd In vaudeville at Tony Pastors: r
z. Graham, a well-known New York
comedian; Ro.and Carter, Bert Thayer
who last year played the leading part
In that sumrtuOus production at the
New York Theatre, Prom Broadway

in The Balle Of New York" and who
appeared to such good advantage with
