Arthur w. Pineros new play, Iris,
was produced at the Garrick theatre,
/ London, Saturday night and the ca
| bled reports say that it scored a great
success. The play Is of The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray order. The central
| figure is a widow with two lovers, who
| promises to marry one. and then, when
| he goes away, becomes the mistress OF
| the other. whom she has previously
/ robbed. The first lover returns, and,
on hearing her story, abandons her.
! The second. in q fit of Jealousy, az
| tempts to kill her, then orders her
| from the house, and after she has gone
smashes the furniture to satisfy his in
sane rage. The play ended with tn s
scene. which is said to be tremendously
dramatic. Fay Davis as the widow and
I Oscar Asche as the jealous lover were
sfgnally successful. Daniel Frohman's
stock company is to present Iris.
| Clarice Vance, the Southern singer,
en- route with the Scribner Specially
| Company, met with what TO others was
an amusing experience, but which look
ed TO her and her MANAGEMENT, for a
time. as rather a disagreeable one.
The company were playing in the Al
hambra, Milwaukee, and on Wednesday
evening the bill opened to its usual
success. Everything went swinging
" until Miss Vance appeared, when
lady in the audience began to shout:
Look, look, Harry! Our child AT
last. at last" And she made a rush
for the stage, closely followed by her
husband. who seemed equally excited,
though less demonstratiye. OF course
the house was in an uproar. the or
chestra ceased playing, and Miss Vance
fed from the stage, pursued by the eX-
cited man and woman, who overlook
her and embraced her in great delight,
calling her their own daughter, Clara,
and ll'tbat sort of thing. Miss Vance
tried to prove an abb, but they in
sisted that she had been stolen from
them when a baby. and ley were pre-
pared 10 prove their assertion. They
seemed so positive that they finally ex-
cited Miss Vance. and she wired to her
mother, who is on her farm on Long
Island. The following was the an

All on account of the sudden appear
ance of a cat. the performance of Cap
tain links of the Horse Marines at the
Garrick theatre, New York City last
Tuesday evening. was queered for sew
eral minutes. and the audience and the
n1ayers too. enjoyed q laugh for which
Clyde Fitch wasn't responsible. 1t
came in the first act, Just after Ethel
Barrymore, as Madame Trentoni, had
landed from the ocean steamer. Mad
anne Trenfani's does were In charge OF
George W. Howard, who held a big
st. Bernard By the collar, and II. S.
Taber, who had one small dog in his
arms and another by a chain. Matters
were thus when the cat, a big animal
belonging to the GarriCk's engineer,
strcllcd stoically on the stage. At the
SIGHT of the cat tho dogs forgot their
cues. not to mention their esprit de
corps. For the moment they had but
one aim in life, to catch the cat. The
ST. Bernard made a flying lean and
took Mr.. Howard with him. One of
Mr.. Tabers dogs jumped from his arms
md the oth4- snapped his chain.
There was mad chase around the
stage. the dogs barking, the cat NEE
owin5 and everyone - Goth sides of
the fcotliqhts laughing The cat final
" slipped out by way of the gang
pink and some one caught the dogs.
Then. rs soon as Miss Barrymore and
the other players could control them
selves the rlay went on; while the cat.
its love of notoriety satisfied, went
away back and sat down.
