KeIcey-Shannon.

MT. Herbert Kelcey is the only actor on the American stage who can boast of thirteen consecutive seasons in New York City. This is the highest compliment that could be paid an actor, as his repertoire must be very varied and his drawing qualities very strong. in order TO attract a New York public for so long a time. and especially at $2 a seat.
 He has appeared in such plays as Diplomacy" Saints and Sinners" 'rhe Wife" '"The Charity Ball" Sweet Lav- ender, 'The Idler,'' Squire Kate, ,' My Lady Bountiful," "The Amazons. '' 'The Case of Rebellious Susan,'' and he it was who originated the character of Spider in '"The Silver King" which had such a long run in the east.
 MT. Kelcey is to be seen here at the Jefferson Theatre on tomorrow evening, when, with Miss Fife Shannon, he will produce their new play. Her Lord and Master" which Is said to be the great est success they have ever had

creston Clarke as Hamlet.

The Hamlet that Creston Clarke pre- sented last night was the orthodox Ham, let of the modern stage-a Hamlet sane but irresolute, drifting to a revenge that he did not foresee-drifting too, with an indefiniteness that was full of poetry, full of pity, full of tenderness. Mir Clarke pre- sented the prince who was born to set things right with rare intelligence and delicacy, aiming to bring out at every point the deepest poetry of the tragedy but nature had not been as kind to this sisters son as she was to the elder brother of the family. MT. Clarke lacks the magnetism of Edwin Booth, that rare force that is indescribable He lacks, too his rich tones, and his grace of face and person. And yet those large eyes of his, and his keen intelligence are very at- tractive at times, often holding an audi ence spellbound. MT. Clarke Is a fine Hamlet, not a great one, that is to say, relatively speaking. for all elderly per sons will recall MT. Clarke's great kins- man.
 Of the support the Ophelia of Miss Julia Marie Taylor certainly deserves mention. N@~N SoAiS NhO SAohOokCti4 Acil 1AuSiC 0W6tI- ly, and her portrayal of the part espe- cially after Hamlet's supernatural re- venge had come into her life, was truth full, artistic and touching. She brought tears to many eyes.
 Polonius, too, her father filled well his part being particularly good when he gave Laertes advice as he was going from home-advice that has become a classic in every home of cultivation in English speaking countries.
 Outside of these three fine players not much need be said. It is the misfortune of one-night-stand towns to get star and two or three good players with a dozen poor ones to complete the list. This was the case last night. The King was a stick, but poor as he was as an actor he was outdone by the players who stood as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz.
 Hamlet's life was changed by the ap- pearance of his fathers ghost. From that time onward he was under a super natural spell that no one else understood least of all Ophelia, and when his love for Ophelia met over her fair head the remembrance of the words of the ghost ly figure Clarkes acting rose to it's height He was not again so strong. He was of- ten recalled. and no one went away dis pleased with his Hamlet. It Is not fair perhaps to bring him in contrast with the Hamlet of Edwin Booth, but putting that aside 1t Is indeed doubtful if the American stage furnishes a more con scientious and intelligent study of the immortal part than Creston Clarke pre- sents.

MT. Milner in a Speech Says It May
 Never Be Over.

Durban, Natal, October 2s.-The Im- perial authorities have reached the con- clusion that the early re-peopling of the Transvaal and the Orange river colonies Is advisable so that the normal indus trial and agricultural life of the colonies may be resumed.
 In the course of a speech yesterday Lord Milner of Capetown said 1t was use- less to wait until the war was over in a formal sense. Tt might never be over. D he declared, "but it was burning itself out and in time we ought to show our selves master in the house we have taken by rebuilding it and beginning to live in it.'

"The Little Minister"

On Friday and Saturday. with a bar gain-day matinee, "The Little Minister will be the bill at the Jefferson Theatre. In commenting on the play, the New Or leans Daily States said:
 "The Little Minister was presented for the second time in this city iast night. and play-goers evidenced their appreoia. tion of this fact by crowding the spacious theatre to the doors. The many excel lent features of MT. Barrie's delightful story of the Thrums were enjoyed and applauded by the discriminating audience, although the play did not entirely meet with the approval of many who had read the book.
 Miss Frances Stevens Is seen in the role of Lady Babbie. The character Is in good hands. Never once did Miss Stevens fall short of the mark. Her interpreta- ton of the role was intelligent and the audience fell in love with her in the be- ginning. Thomas Wammond, the chief elder. was portrayed by R. B. Gresham, an excellent actor, and Cecil livingstone made the part of Rob Dow realistic. Helen Lee did excellently as Micah Dow. George Conway, J. c. Carlyle and How ard Morgan were very amusing as the elders.
