THE GAY LORD oUEx."
Pinero's English Society Comedy the
Attraction at the METROPOLITAN.

There are at least three things about
THE Gay Lord Quex," to be presented
at the Metropolitan tonight, that will
appeal to every theater-goer as decid-
edly unusual. Pinero has written many
peculiar plays, and among them only
one comedy-this one.
In the first place he introduced a
heroine and hero who are seldom, IL
ever, found in plays of any sort. One
Is the proprietress Of q fashionable
m~anicuring establishment, and the
other an English lord. In the third act
Of this play the heroine says to the
hero: You are an awful BLACKBOARD,
my lord" to which the hero replies:
Thank you, my dear, you're not far
wrong. AT the same time there's not
much to choose between us, for you are
a common kitchen cat, who wriggles
herself into the best rooms, gets herself
fondled, and then splits" This from
the hero to the heroine in the third act.
Two acts of this comedy are played
in the pariors of a fashionable mani
curing establishment, with a bevy of
pretty girls cutting, fling n polishing
h~nger-nails, while the action Of the
play proceeds, and thirdly, the play is
without a love scene" in the generally
accepted meaning of the term.
The story principally concerns Sophy
Fullgarney, a manicurist, and Lord
QueX, who, before the play opens, is
called 1.-The wickedest man in London"
In the first act he expresses his state
of mind, however, in the line: After
all, 1t is very pleasant to be a good
boy" He has reformed because he
has fallen in love with a very sweet
and innocent young girl, and VOWS that
he will make her "a good husband"
Sophy Fullgarney, the m~anicurist,
however, happens to be this young
lady's foster sister. and in her manicure
shop has heard much gossip concerning
QueM In fact, she is satisfied that
QueX would not make. Muriel a good
husband" and does everything in her
power to prevent the marriage. She
even goes so far as to attempt to make
Quex kiss her in order that she may
tell Muriel, but unsuccessful in this
she decides to spy on him. She over
hears him make an appointment to
meet the Duchess Of Strood, an old
friend, at her apartment that night,
and manages to get herself engaged
as the duchess maid. In this capacity
she has an opportunity to station her
self at the keyhole soon after Quex
joins the duchess. Although his visit
is a perfectly proper one-he merely
returning some gifts that have passed
between the duchess and himself at

enter during De Marsac's absence, pois-
on the lady's mind against the hero,
and by showing the kings token, a
golden half coin, convince her that they
are the men chosen by Navarro to con-
duct her to the court of Henry of Valois
where she is to tell the story of Tur-
enne, a conspiracy against the throne.
In the fifth scene the great fight on
the staircase occurs, wherein De Mar
sac retakes her from the clutches Of the
kings enemies. This was accounted in
New York the greatest stage fight ever
seen in this country.
In the sixth scene De Marsac takes
Mile. de la Wire to the meeting with
Henry Ill, to whom she. tells her story
and expresses the policy. of Navarro
for the. salvation of France. %
In the last scene of all CASTOR APP
pears at the court of Navarro with
Mile. de la Wire, whose love he has
finally won, as we'll as having accom-
plished his original mission. Through
the death of Valois, Henry of Navarro
has now become king of France. He
loads the poor adventurer with riches
n honors n bestows on him the
hand of Mile. de la Wire.
Liebler & Co.'S production is said to
amply suggest the gorgeous ~pageantry
of this sixteenth century epoch of the
great HuguenOt uprising.

There Is SO much that is forcible,
concise and true in the old-fashioned
sayings which serve as a guide and a
consolation, or at least seem to express
the concensus of opinion brought down
from former to the present times, that
one turns to them instinctively when
there is much to be expressed in a con-
densed form. OF the most familiar Of
these sayings, one has great vogue:
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you" and We-are slowly but surely
coming to a realization Of the truth Of
this maxim. There are enough Of trag-
1c happenings in everyday life to suf-
fuse the world with a pale cast of mel

Noted English Actor Will Present "A
Gentleman of France"

Gentleman of France"
Kyrle Bellew, the distinguished Eng
lsh actor, returns to st. Paul next
Thursday night, after an absence of
eight years, for a half weeks engage-
ment at the Metropolitan. in "a Gentle
man of France" Mr.. Bellows return
to the New York stage last season
after an absence of several years was
the occasion for a demonstration in
his honor. Mr.. Bellows vehicle also
accomplished success, and the famous
Stanley Weyman romance, "A Gentle
man of France" divided the ducats of
New York's theater-goers with "Du
Barry" as given by Mrs. Leslie Carter.
The feature of the play is Mr.. Bel
LEWIS single-handed combat with seven
IuSty adVersarieS on a great staircase.
Ih1s scene proved a veritable sensa-
ton, not only in New York, but in staid
Philadelphia and Boston as well. It
carries the action to a most intense
: pitch, n is said to have earned from
fifteen to twenty curtain calls nightly
on blase Broadway.
The play opens with CASTOR de Mar
sac suing at the court of Henry of Ma
varre for a chance to WELD his sword
for france. Here he is fiounted and
ridlculed by the courtiers because OF
ms poverty and mean attire, just as In
Weyman's stirring story. Ere fhis

gallantry the regard of Mile de la

ultimately plays such havoc in his life.

JOE MURPHY AT THE GRAND.
Irish Comedian Will Present "kerry
Cow" and "Shaun Rhue.D

Cow" and "Shaun Rhue."
The wel-known Irish comedian, Joe
Murphy, opens a weeks engagement
at the Grand tonight, presenting the
Irish dramas, Kerry Cow which will
hold the boards up to Wednesday even
ing, when. a change of the bill will oc-
cur and Shaun Rhue" will be the Of
fering the balance of the week.
Competing with all that was popular
in 1886-and before that, for that mat
ter-and staying in the race up to the
present time without losing hold on
public favor, the two Irish plays, "Ker-
ry Cow" and SHAUN Rhue" are still
in the front as profitable theatrical at
fractions. To do this in the face of
remarkable rivalry constitutes an ar
gument in favor of Joseph Murphy's
popularity as an actor. This is Mr..
Murphy's twenty-eighth annual tour.
When one witnesses Murphy's imper-
~sonation of Dan O'Hara, the black
smith, in his beautiful play of Kerry
Cow" there are two qualities so trong-
ly apparent that there is an almost
constant conflict of analysis.
Mr.. Murphy is simply a conscientious
actor who gives his best effort to each
stage of his performance, and so is
solved the secret of the lasting popu-
larity and prosperity of this player and
his plays. Few save some younger
theater-goers have not seen Mr.. Muir
ply. He gives the same study to the
part that won him favor when the role
was a newer one. AS Larry Donovan

Quex, realizing that he has lost Mu-

the duchess to another room, locks the

self in the room with Quex. The dia-
