 David Belasco's latest play. "Du Bar ry," and his star. Mrs. Carter, at the Criterion, New York were greeted by an altogether notable audience. and ow- ing to the smsllness of the theatre prac- tically all New York theatre goers were placed on the waiting list. Mrs. Carter's performance resulted in another triumph, the role having been fashioned somewhat on the "Zaza'' model and fitting Mrs. Carter's temperamental qualities admir- ably. History mongers will not find MT. Belasco's "Du Barry to their liking, but there can be no question that the Du Barry of the play Is likelier per sonage for stage portraiture than the Carter will doubtless remain at the Crit erion for long time. e-..,.

 The Art of Stage Falls. The most important and difficult of all stage business for the actor to learn is how to fall. To fall naturally is hard to learn, still harder to execute. and, considering the fact that there is scarce ly q play in which they do not occur, to do it. To be effective 1t is essential that the fall should partake of realism, else it prove ridiculOus. To enumerate the different falls that occur on the stage would be well nigh impossible. since there are so many different situa- uons requiring so many different falls. One of the most dangerous of all falls Is what is technically known as the face fall, in which the actor pitches for ward on his face and apparently strikes his head on the floor. This fall is at tended with some danger. When this fall is done gracefully and correctly, 1t always produces a startling effect It requires considerable experience to make it properly.

 ingly effective. In the play she is in hiding behind curtain when her lover is compelled to asume heinous crime and is dragged off to confinement. Miss Allen then. in the person of Dolores, starts to rush across the stage after her lover, but faints and pitches hs2dfore- most That the actress is not severely hurt is a source of surprise to every ebcdy who witnesses this theatrical arti- flee.
 When Edwin Booth appeared as Rich ard III. he startled the audience at each performance by apparently falling on his head. The fall, of course, was broken by his forearm and is not so dangerous as the face fall. One of the most thrill ing falls of recent years was that made by Fanny Davenport in Fedora. At the climax of the third act Miss Daven- pert fell backward down a flight of stairs. This is a very dangerous fall to make, and the actress was not infre- quentIy bruised. '-'
 Until an actor or actress has found the best way to break a fall and how to do it without hurt or injury, they usually wear pads on the knees and elbows.

Sag Harbor'' Comes Saturday.

Sag Harbor,'' which comes to the Montgomery Theatre Saturday matinee in this case the adjective is used advis- edly, although st1e ordinary theatrical usage of the term is not intended: Sag JIarbor' is stupendous as production in that it realizes in wonderful way the purest possible dramatic art. The ex- cpIisite scenes in which this play is set were painted by the, best artists in the country who went to Sag Harbor espe- Cially for the purpose, and all the vari- ous yachts and launches and other ap- pointments were painstakingiy drawn from real m9dels.
 is truly stupendous through the dominat- ing and controlling art of the late James A. Herne The performance of this won derful play is so great in its perfection that the cultured theatregoers of New York and Chicago who fiocked by thou sands to the theatres where Sag liar bor'' was presented in both cities, sat spellbound in their seats from the very rise to the final fall of the curtain, en- chained for the hour by the thought that the actors were not merely playing parts but that this marvellous romance was being lived before their very eyes
 Such was the wonderful art of this representative American author-actor. He created an illusion so perfect that his audiences never think themselves at the play, but feel themselves to be observ- CTS of actual life in the representations of his dramas.
 Sag Harbor Is only the old story' the very old but ever new story of true love, but so exquisitely is 1t handled in his dramatic unfolding that the end amusement-is reached with the maxi mum of pleasure and perhaps profit to the satiated theatregoer of the play.
 Tt may turn out song, it may turn ont a sermon could be aptly used in referring to MT. Herne's plays. only that they more often turn out to he both songs and sermons. for rarely did this author fail to point some moral or in- dicate the nobler wa in some stressful phase of practical living.

SHOULD NOT RUN 1T
Expression from kingfisher on Fed
eral Officials and Campaign.

Kingfsher, o. T., June 1.-the Free
Press is opposed to the coming campaign
being placed in the hands of federal or
territorial Office holders. In this week 8
issue the following along this line is
printed:
1.-The Free Press is unalterably OPP
posed, as 1t always has been, to the man
agement Of the Republican party of this
territory being placed in the hands OF
federal or territorial officers or their i'm
mediate employees and agents. 1t is so
plainly and manifestly against the best
interests of the party as well as the pub
lie service, that.no word of argument is
needed TO demonstrate that fact. The
tendency of this evil is 10 build UP, for
tify and perpetuate factions within the
party which are more devoted TO the
maintenance Of personal interests than
they are TO the general good of the party
or the people. No man who holds sal
aried position, which he values above
any mere working position that he could
hold in the party management, should
have control, direct or indirect, Of the
party machinery
1.-The Republican party cannot be
strengthened by this sort OF organiza-
ton, and, as rule, it does incalculable
harm. Besides that. it has been the
avowcd policy of the national admins
trations both Republican and Democrat
&c, for the past several years, to prevent
the control Of parties falling into the
hands OF public officials. This doctrine
is founded in good sense. and ought to
be enforced in letter and spirit
when Mr.. Ferguson was appointed
governor we held that there was no rea-
son why he should surrender the chair
manship of the Republican committee.
for the reason that the work OF that
committee had already been substantial
~ performed, leaving nothing 10 be done
except merely formal matters which
could have no especial influence upon the
party itself, ard besides his resignation
of the Craftsmanship at that time prom
ised to bring on unnecessary and damag-
ing contention for the succession.
But, now that the organization" 70
be made on the 18th instant. viii have
active management and control Of the
party for the next two years. it should
be made up entirely Of able and patriotic
Republicans whose devotion to the party
and whose influence with the people VIII
not be swerved or crippled by mercenary,
selfish and seIf-iuteres.ed motives.
This statement Is provoked just now
by the various suggestions that have
been and are being made as to the forth
coming party reorganization"
