in Cincinnati there were 400 gathered

stories of the lives of wild animals. He
has lectured again and again in many OF
the eastern cities, having crowded houses

The school authorities and the news

credit for doing more for nature study

he has appeared the public schools have
been closed to give teachers and pupils

officials of the museum because of his

A Bachelors Romance.

The durability of a thoroughly clean
and wholesome play. over those of the
sensational and risque kind. is evinced
by the successful repetition after a
years lapse of "A Bachelors Romance"
as given at the California theater by
Mr.. James Neill and the Neill company.
This comedy by Martha Morton was
first given at the same theater a year
ago to moderate business, and is now
playing to packed audiences, while 4

with mediocre reception at another
theater in the same city.

James II. Herne in "Sag Harbor."

oducS IA. nc1uc III Gag 14dIOo1.
The distinguished author-actor James
A. Herne, commenced his annual engage
ment at the Grand opera house, Chicago,
last week, presenting his latest and
grea test play, Sag Harbor." He came
supported by practically the same
splendid company which achieved with
him such fine success for the exquisite
new Herne drama a the same theater
last season, where by common critical
declaration this work was adjudged to
be not only the best play. but the biggest
popular success of the Chicago season.
In Sag Harbor'' the famous author
of "Shore Acres and Hearts Of Oak"
has developed a true, human and almost
perfect example of the drama of the
twentieth century at it's best. The
morale and movement Of this tender and
beautiful romance SO freely interspersed
with delicious comedy are almost i'm
peccable in their truth to nature and
| their irresistible appeal. Moreover, Sag
Harbor" is the best kind of enterta n
ment possible in the dramatic form.
| The story is inherently interesting-is
equally made up of comedy and pathos.
the Characterization is uniquely original
| and delightful, and the final tests of any
plays merit are freely drawn in laugh
| ter and in tears from the audience.
