| The New York Journal editor,a'ly
combats a clerical contention made be-

1t is said that all the scenery and the
entire effects pertaining to every one
with Mr. Neil Burgess himself as Abb
gail Prue including the famous race
scene in the last act are be-
ing used in their entirety
everywhere this season. Only theaters

this are being PLAYED, for Mr.. Burgess Is
determined to present this famous re-

and complete a scale as he did during

The practical suppression in Paris OF
o new and very promising drama, de-
cadence" announced by Porel at the
| Vaudeville, has created a stir. The piece
is said to have contained a particularly
taking role for Rejane, whose talent is
to tell the truth, not for all markets. and
who has been sadly in need of good parts
lately. The author. Albert Guinon. is
not in the front rank, but Porel thought
highly of his play and the censor haC
favorably passed upon it. The scenery
was all painted and the rehearsals well
under way when the request came from
the authorities that it should not bf
acted. the reasons given fOr TINS pro-
ceedng are only conjectural. But tbs
plot is known to concern the marriage
of a poor dukes daughter to a riof
money lenders son. her subsequent
elopment, and her return to her hus-
band after "scene of three" in which
his effective pleadings are eminent;
practical and not a bit sentimental. Not
the moral situation, but the satrica
representation of the remr ants of tht
old aristocracS in the grasp of tn.
money lenders is believed to be the .ea
son of the plays suppression.
