NEW YORK, March 14.-The produc-
tion of '"The Resurrection" at the Vic
toria theatre adds another marked sue
cess to the many which have been
, achieved at New York theatres during
the present season.
1t was to be expected that Oscar Ham
merstein would see to IL that scenically
and in all matters pertaining to costumes
there would be nothing to desire, but
that the young and the ambitious ac-
. trees who was entrusted with the title
role would succeed in so important a
part was not so easily predicted. This
point also was satisfactorily decided at
the first performance when blanche
Walsh's work stamped her as a success
ful star. The play shows up very strong
ly the luxury of Slav life, the workings
Of the Russian criminal courts and the
horrors Of the Siberian penal system.
The close Of Mrs. Fiske's long run at
the Manhattan makes room at that thea
tire for THE Bishops Move" written by

At the Princess theatre prosperity has
stamped the fate of "The Frisky Mrs
johnson" and We again see the charm
ing Miss Bingham at her best-with such
able support as that afforded by such
talent as Wilton Lackaye, W. L. Abing-
don and Minnie Dupree Since the OPEN
ing Of the play, Clyde Fitch has made
some slight changes In ii, at the sugges-
ton Of Miss Bingham. and greatly i'm
proved It.
At the Herald Square theatre, DeWolf
Hopper and his company are achieving
great success in ''Mr. Pickwick." Their
clever Interpretations of the famous
Dickens characters and Manuel Klein's
music is treat for all. Digby Bell.
Louise Cunning. Marguerite Clark and
Grant Stewart have all made individual
hits In their respective parts and the
remainder OF the company Is adequate in
every respect.
''Mr. Pickwick'' is attracting much at
tention among booklovers and students
and one Of the features Of the engage
ment = the great number Of celebrated
literary men and women in the audi
ences.

THE GENTLE AND TIE JEW.

THE GENTLE AND TIE JEW.
The angel of the Lord appeared unto
Mr.. Jones, a Gentle citizen of Tewks-
bury, and said. Il am commissioned to
offer unto thee whatsoever thou wilt ask,
provided thou wilt be willing that thy
neighbor. Levi Solomon, shall have
double what thou askest for thyself"
Now Jones hated his Hebrew neighbor
with mortal hatred, and the angelic
offer seemed at first quite unreasonable.
