Paul Arthur in Are You a Mason is at the Shafesbury, and The Whirl of the Town, with Henry Dixey and Madge Lessing, is at the Century In addition Edna May has just made her appearance in Kitty Gray at the Apollo. These attractions expect to continue until nearly Christmas time. There has been an upheavaI in the Il nr.n1 company in R. 4. Barnet's Miss Sim plicity" at Lyric hall.

The recent assas- sination of our president. however, de- termined Kirke La ShelIe and Mir Daniels to request MT Barnet to oblit- crate PIousky and his cOnfederates in favor of brand new characters. Hence chaos for the last few days. with an orderly movement of events much fur ther removed from probability than was the case ten days ago.

 There is one thing gratifying in the productions that have been made this year and that is the elabOrateness of the scenery and stage fittings MT Hackett has a charming first act in Don Caesars Return. while the Gothic interior scene painted by Unit for the third act of The Forest Lovers, is ideal. The one -set used by MT Sothern. painted by the same man. is q charm ing bit of work, while Rogers Brothers have been surrounded by an outfit that involved an outlay of over twenty-five thousand dollars. for the costumes used in the electric dance cost two hundred and fifty dollars apiece and there are thirty of them. Webber X Fields have gone into color effects with a vengeance and their production is charming to look upon. while every body admits that John Drew has some very picturesque sets for The Second In Command.
