smile.
Kirke La Shelle expects to break
ground for his new Colonial theater, New
York, soon after the holidays. This the
alter would have been in commission at
the present time but for the caprice of a
woman who had sold to La Shelle one of
the five pieces of ground which, COM
bined, make his theater plot. This
woman, finding that the price she had
asked and been given was less than that
paid another woman a few doors away,
refused to deliver title as per contract,
and La Shelle had to bring suit to COM
pei her to do So This suit is about to
come to trial. and La Shelle is SO conf
dent of it's outcome that he has made
contracts with builders for the erection
of his theater.

Louis Mann and Clara Lipman's tour
in Paul Potter's Boer comedy drama,
THE Red kloof," is proving the finan-
cial success anticipated for it. The piece
is very interesting, well staged and pre-
sents a novelty that attracts especial at
tention--Mr Mann in a part that lis to
laugh solely through comic vein de-
veloped wholly in unconscious humor, the
funny things his character uoes even in
serious situation
That the public appreciates Andrew
Macs new venture in refined comedy
drama in tom Moore" is amply proved
by the fact that his business this sea-
son is by one third greater than in the
past. In the part of the Irish poet Mr..
Mack has character splendidly suited
to his temperament and abilities. He
has been SO well received in this play
that his tour has been extended to June /.

The staging which kirke La Shelle has
given THE Princess Chic is described
by reviewers as the most brilliant seen
on the comic opera stage in years. The
subject is one which allows great lati-
tude in this respect, and the costuner
evidently revelled in his task. Scores of
girl cavaliers in doublets and tights with
cloaks and swords, saving, beautiful
court costumes, picturesque men at arms,
and all the circumstances OF feudal war
as we'll as romance combine to impress
auditors amazingly.
From more or less reliable reports it
would seem that no Shakespearan PRO
duction in recent years has attained the
popularity won by Wagenhals and

Which Louis James and Madame Mod
jeska are now appearing. The great
business which the company is doing has
attracted the ticket spectators, several
of whom have been following the COM
pany from town to town. The annoy
ance has been SO pronounced that the
management has been obliged to have
signs placed in front of the theaters
warning the public that tickets sold on
the sidewalks will be refused at the door
Among the attr-. ,tions yet to appear
on the local stage this season the joint
appearance of Louis James and Madame
Modjeska will probably attract the most
attention. There has been much entl1us-
iastic, comment upon the company and
the eQuipment-in fact the Organiza tioh
in the aggregate is regarded as the best
tribute to the traditions of the legitimate
drama in America since the memorable
association of Booth and Barrett. "Hehry
WILL" the feature of the repertoire, has
drawn a patronage limited only by The
capacity OF the theaters.- 50
Hall Game has submitted a scenario of
his characterization of THE Eternal City
to Liebler and company that promises
really wonderful results and play that
will TEEN with thrilling interest from
the rise to the final fall of the curtain
