that their present organization, which

of comic opera, inasmuch as every one

revival of Victorien Sardous drama. "Fe-
dora" Sardou is a guarantee of some
thing out of the ordinary and Fedora"
is one of the most popular plays which
that prolific French author has given to
the stage.
For years Fedora" was the most popu-

extensive repertoire of Sardou dramas.
After her death it was used as the vehicle
fc~ Blanche Walsh's starring ventures.
Indeed. few plays OF foreign origin have
had the longevity OF Fedora" 1t is alb

matte.

The scenic requirements of the piece,
while not 50 elaborate as seine of the

made the most Of and the scenic artists
are hard at work on the several scenes
required.

Already many patrons of the Bijou The
atre are using the new name of Manager
Wegefarth's playhouse, which after next
Saturday night will be known as the En-
pire. Smoking Will be entirely done away
with. and the Empire will be conducted
as family theatre, offering burlesque
and refined vaudeville, with occasional
bills OF musical comedy.
Mr.. Wegefarth intends to make a strong
bid for the patronage OF women and chill

and will provide colored maids to attend
to their comforts. The theatre Will be
recarpeted and reprinted during the week.

Kendall played the part of "rube"
whose hair turned green in taking the
baths that furn shed much of the humor
of the play. Later he starred in ~ Pair
Of Kids" and other similar farcicll com
binations.
Kendall then became an author and
wrote all his own plays Some were not
half bad. In this way he drifted along
several years and piled up enough funny
hard luck stories to keep him supplied for
life. Later he went into minstrelsy as 4
monclogist His style was unique and he
made tremendous success. He refused
to black up" and this led to his separa-
tion from minstrelsy. because his mana

cork was the proper adornment for ZEN
dalls comic features.
Next the monologist stepped into vaude-
VILE in the same attire, white face" and
all. and again success smiled and his
weekly salary got to be $500. Some stat
istician has figured that Kendali's words
are more than honeyed. in fact they are
moneyed, as he utters about 1900 words
in his monologue. and the twelve per
formances a week bring him over $40
each time he appears, thus making his
words worth more than a cent apiece. He
writes vaudeville sketches too, and gets
fabulous figures for them.
Mr. Kendall's next move will be into
comedy as a star under the management
of Liebler & Co. next season.
