The June number of The Theatre,
pu Iisbed by Meyer Bros & Co. of New
York, contai s two important articles
on the proposed endowed tbeatre by E.
Ii. Sothern and A. NJ. Palmer, which
| are likely to attract considerable atten-
tion. Actor and manager discuss the
question OF establishing theatre with
aims above toe box Office standard from
their respective points of view, aud
their opinions, particularly certain
marks OF MIR. Palmer regarding the
present short comings of our stage, our
critic and our schools of acting, will
certainly provoke controversy. Apart
from its excellent literary features, the
number is most attractive pIctoriaIIy,
and contains wealth OF beautiful half
tone reproductions of scenes from
diplomacy as performed by the
members of the Empire s ock Co, N.

certainly forms the most beautiful col

the student and lover OF tine drama.
