THE NEW ENGLAND TOUR ENDED.
The President Boards His Yacht and Returns
to Oyster Bay.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Rridgenort Conn, Sept. 3.-President
Roosevelt ended his tour of New England
here today, after his thrilling experience
at Pittsheld Mass He remained about
an hour and a half and was escorted to
a stand in Seaside Park. where he had
intended delivering an address to work
men He however, excused nlmSelI
from making any speech, because of the
accident, and at his request his carriage
was hurried away from it's escort to en-
able him to board the Sylph, where MRS.
Roosevelt and his son Kermet, embraced
him.
After bidding farewell to Dalton this
morning, the President, with Governor
Crane and Secretary Cortelyou, went
across country to Pittsield, where he re-
ceived a hearty greeting. The President
then started on the long drive to LenoX
and Stockbridge, which ended so dlsast-
rously short distance out from PITTS
field.
AS soon as it became evident that the
President was not seriously hurt, and
after he had given directions as to the
disposition of the body of the faithful
Craig, the President resumed his journey.
Lenox was reached about 11:15 and his
passage through the town, which had
made elaborate preparations for his en-
tertainment, was in silence. He, tarried
but a moment the swelling on his right
cheek causing him considerable discom-
fort but not to disappoint the people he
spoke a few words to them, telling of the
accident and saying that he would make
no address. He then passed on to
Stockbridge, where, too, the people were
ready to make his entry into the city
notable occasion. Speaking from his car
riage, his right eye almost closed and
getting very black, he said that for the
same reasons given at Lenox he would be
unable to deliver an address.
The departure of the President from
Stockbridge was pathetic. There were no
cheers, no waving of flags or handker-
chiefs, only a word here and there to
break the death-like silence. Brief stops
were made at Great harrington, Mass,
and New Milford. Conn.
On the way here DR.. Lung applied hot
cloths to the Presidents face, which re-
duced the swelling considerably. The
President, though badly shaken up, kept
his nerve and was in good spirits, al
though he repeatedly referred to the loss
of Craig, and said that but for that deep
| ly deplored fact he would regard the ac-
cident to himself as simply one of the
| incidents of the trip.

The Return to Oyster Bay.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 3.-President
Roosevelt returned to Oyster Bay at $40
O'Clock tonight but little the worse for
his thrilling experience of the morning.
His right cheek is swollen, there is a
black bruise under his right eye and his
mouth is slightly swollen. Otherwise he
shows no effects of the accident. He will
go South the latter part of the week, ac-
cording to the original schedule, and will
be accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou,
who, while considerably shaken up, eX-
poets that his injuries will not incapaci-
tate him from duty. Mr.. Cortelyou's
nose is badly bruised, there is a lump on

Chase Opera Season Extended.

Manager Chase has come to the con.
clusion that the season of comic opera,
which was originally designed to last
but four weeks. will need TO be extended
an indefinite period.
Public interest and appreciation have
continued IN the most fiattering and
profitable degree, and so long as the
productions continue Of the same stand
ard as has been maintained, there is no
doubt that the season can last for some
time.
Foreseeing what the public will re-
quire OF him in this respect. and con-
fdent Of his ability to give presenta-
tIons even more creditable than during
the last two weeks. Mr.. Chase has
planned revivals OF The Merry Mon
arch" The serenaders." which the
Bostonians found so profitable several
years ago. and Robin Hood" whose
popularity has never diminished since its
original presentation by the Barnabee-
Macdonald organization.
For the last week Mr. Chase Will pro-
duce one OF the light operas OF the old
school, probably The Bohemian Girl"

Bernhard and Adams Joint Stars.

Just after her return to Paris from
her last American tour there was a
rumor that Sarah Bernhard would ap-
pear as Romeo in a revival of Romeo
and Juliet" which Charles Frohman
would make. and in which the role Of
Juliet would be interpreted by Maude
Adams The rumOr has not only been
revived. but the announcement is made
that the two stars will positively appear
in the play under Mr.. Frohran's direc-
tion next season.
The greed for novelty in the way OF
treme measures must be resorted to in
order to excite interest. and certainly
nothing quite SO startling has yet been
offered the public as the contemplated
joint appearance of the French and
American 'L'Aiglons.'
Just how much artistic value will be
attached to the performance it is hard
to say. 4 strange and rather ludicrous
feature will be the combination of
French and English, for Nine. Bernhardt
and Miss Adams will adhere to the
French text, while the remainder of
the company will play their parts in
English. 1t will, in that case, be as
much Of mixture as some OF the grand
opera performances to which the public
has been treated at intervals when the
tenor sings in italian. the prima donna
in French, and the others in any Ian
guage that happened to come handy.

Stock Companies Disappearing.

/ The performances of the Edwin Arden
stock company at the Columbia Thcater
commencing next Monday week will
[ be the last theatrical entertainments
given in this city by a stock organiza-
tion for a year anyway. as. according 10
I the plans Of the new lessees OF the La
fayette Square Theater. that playhouse
will be given over to travelling combina-
/ items, and there viii be no other theater
in the city available for stock produc-
tons.
/ According to Leander Richardson, one
OF the best OF native writer's on the
atrical matters. the stock company
scheme gives indications OF soon passing
away.
Mir. Richardson says: THE question
is the stock company idea playing out
is OF very great interest in many of the
cities outside New York. where. during
the past half dozen years, plays have
been produced weekly by organizations
put together fer the entire season for
this purpose.
In some instances these entertain
ments have been enormously successful
for the time being. Fer example, in
Pittsburg the Grand Opera House. with
its stock system, has cleared between
$40, geo and $4,000 a year, while in other
places. like Chicago, ST. Louis. Wash
ington. New Orleans. San Francisco,
etc. the plan has generally worked very
well indeed.
For some time past. however. it
seems to have been demonstrated that
the interest in entertainments OF this
type has been on the wane so far as
cities away from the metropolis are
concerned.
There are various methods OF ac-
counting for the falling of in public
support. In some quarters it is held
that the public has grown tired of the
monotony Of Witnessing the same per-
formers week after week, month in and
month out, after having undergone so
extended a schooling in the combina-
tion line with complete changes of per-
sonnel as well as program every week.
"Other persons who have given stu
dious attention to the stock company
problem appear to be convinced that the
real trouble lies in the fact that the
list of desirable plays TO be had on roy
atty for use in these theaters has about
run out Whatever the cause, the fact
remains that with isolated exceptions
the stock company business is pretty
well plaYed out

Norma Kopp Pleased ChaSeites.

The Chase patrons had the opportunity
last week TO get acquainted with one OF
the cleverest and daintiest condolences
on the stage in Norma Kopp, whose por-
trayal of the role of Mataya in Wang
proved the hit of the performance.
Miss Kopp has played the part before.
but not IN Washington.
Here theatergoers have always asso-
ciated the part with Della Fox. the origi-
nal Mataya, but since Miss Kopp's excel
lent work and ingenious personality were
presented to the public last Monday
afternoon the consensus Of opinion seems
to be that Miss Fox, after all. has one
superior, anyway, in the role.
Miss Kopp is so thoroughly at ease and
has such an attractive air about her that
the Chase audiences completely capitu
lated and declared her quite the cleverest

the latter was forgotten in the applause

that Adele Ritohie's voice had become

lodious tones. Thus disappointed, the
audience lost the interest that had
Leen anticipated in this actress and
turned eagerly to new people.
Miss Barry was unexpected and sur

The American public easily dismisses

more attention to her except as char
acter IN the story.
Miss Barry, however, is fitted by ma
ture as well as art for the role in which
Ier American debut was effected, and
she scored a distinct success in 1t. Miss
Angeles stepped modestly out of the
