 The Wrong MT. Wright" did not prove very entertaining. Valley Forge" de- picting the suffering of Washington and his men, was not strong. Ward and Vokes gave fine performances before fine audiences. Naughty An thony" was exactly the opposite. James O'Neil in Monte Cristo" was up to his old standard, which is high.
 "Other Peoples Money made another attempt and succeeded better. San Toy gave great satisfaction to great audi ences. It Is a musical comedy worth looking at. Rose Coghlan played Forget Me Not to good audiences. Viola Allen packed the house. Not only Is she popu- lar, but Tn the Palace of the King" in which she appeared, Is good play.
 strong play was La Madeline" as played by Blanche Walsh to very good house. Emma Nevada had light houses. although the concerr programme was con- sidered very fine. Uncle Josh spruceby' was rather to the bad Sung Himself to Favor. Al H. Wilson sung himself into more enchores than almost any other performer this season.

 Tim Murphy in "A Capitol Comedy presented one of the cleverest individual performances of the season He has a dry humor which proved a great laugh producer. Miss Bob White" with Mar guerlte Sylva in the leading part, did a good business and was rather a catchy thing.
 Kathryn Kidder in Molly Pitcher did poor business The play did not deserve better
 Denman Thompson filled the house as was expected. He and the "Old Home stead" are always good. Arizona" did good business and deserved it.

 Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott play ed "An American Citizen" to a we'll pleased and large audience. "The Casino Girl" was not up to the mark. The girls were not pretty or we'll trained

 Worst of the Season.
 Joshua Simpkinsi' was one of the worst of the season. Otis Skinner was great in Francisco de Rimini" The French Opera Company should have had larger audiences.
 Lewis Morrison did big business in Faust" The Rogers Brothers came next.
 Are You a Mason?" had very good houses. Quo Vadis'' was played by a company which was lacking in makeup and did not have very much success.
