Herr Most, the anarchist leader, haS made his debure on the stage in new five-act play called Der Strike" This is not as bad for the theater as one might imagine at first glance, but, the Lord knows, 1t is bad enough. If Herr Most has no more success as a real &C., tor than he has had as a real anarchist I think he will give the stage up as a bad job and get to work at something else. When I say get to work, I don't literally mean work, for no one ever knew an anarchist of the Herr Most type to do anything of the kind. don't think the readers of this paper want to read anything more about Herr I hear Tom 6harkey, the prize fighter also intends to have a go at play acting Why not make a pugilistic star cast of pugilists; prepare some kind of theat- rical exhibition and start them on a tour. Fancy what display such star cast would make with the names of Kid Me- Coy, Jim Corbett, Jeffries, Tom Sharkey. Bob Fitssfmmons. etc, together. If they ever got to quarreling among themselves in earnest, 1 would sooner be in some other theater than in the one in which these distinguished aspirants for gate money were showing themelves. Why can't these fellows go to China and join the Boxers?
 
 The irrepressible Oscar Hammerstein has thrown open his roof garden over the roofs of the Victoria and Republic theaters for the season. The name by which this popular resort Is known Is Paradise Garden, The stage is fitted up so as to give one an idea of Holland in miniature, with an old Dutch wind mill, a genuine vegetable garden, a papier mache COW, a real pond of wet water, ,,lr s1xuyffr1 r1rrRta 70 quietly around a real boat named sham rock III One advantage this particular roof garden has oyer all the others is that fin case of rain, which we are hav- ing in plenty, both auditors as well as performers can be protected from the storm. As usual Csca. Hammerstpin has engaged a clever lot of people to supply the stage entertainment.
 The play with which Mrs FisSe will open the new Manhattan theater next season 1t is now thought will be MI randa of the Balcony" founded on A. D.. w Mason's novel of the same name. Mrs. Fiske does not propose to remain in New York the full measure of the theatrical season. During the autumn and winter terms she will be here, and after these are over she will devote the spring to travel with her own company.

 The wags of Wall street are having lots of fun with a certain ornamental broker rejoicing in pet name who is reported to have put up the stuff for the little Hopper for her day out, like any other hired girl The other morning. ac- cording to Acton Davis, a deputation of brokers waited on the gay and festive broker and handed him an open letter, of which the following is a copy: Dear Sir-Will you please send us your cer- titled cheque for $6s,O00, as we wish to close up the Gravesend Race Track to- morrow afternoon in order to witness the matinee performance of Florodora-' Oh, the boys are making it pleasant for the Hopper young man; and the gulible young men of the press who swallowed the Hopper certified cheque story, bait, hook and sinker. are as mad as hornets over the way they were taken in. But wait-wait until they get a chance tc do the Hopper and the Casino managers a good turn and maybe they won't do a thing to them. Au revoir.
