their dismay that all rooms on the

ever accorded to them in the palmiest

The marvelously fascinating in
tiuence of The Christian" has been
well illustrated this summer. when it
has been let out to stock companies
in a dozen or more cities, at roy
atty of 81 900 week, each. The
price is large one to pay, but stock
managers have found it so much
more profitable, even at this price,
than other attractions at one-half
the cost, that in nearly every in
tance they have made application for
second weeks rental. Where other
famous plays have failed, THE Chris

in vaudeville with the close, of last
week, and Monday returned to his
home near New York. where he will
interest himself, from now on, with
preparations for his appearance in
the new play now being written for
him by Herbert Hall Winslow, and in
which he is to be starred the coming
season by Liebler & Co. The play is
in excellent shape, and nearly com
pleted. Inasmuch as Mr.. Winslow
has had the benefit and advice of
Mr.. Kendall in the shaping of all char
acters, and particularly in the one
he is To imperSOnate himself. it should
prove satisfactory, even to the crit
zeal judgment of Mr.. Tyler. This is
a subject that will engage Mr.. Ty
ler's attention soon after his arrival.
for Mr.. Kendall is expected to COM
mence his tour early in September.
and the work of production has
scarcely begun as yet. Those who
have heard the play read believe that
Mr.. Kendall will win the palm as
