TO stimulate the American dramatlSt, The Theatre magazine has opened a com petition for an American-ma play full particulars of which appear in the March issue. The prize offered is a metropoli- tan production with first-class cast, the magazine having special arrangement with Charles Frohman for the production of the winning play at one of MT. Froh- mans New York houses next November. 1t will be remembered that the successful career of Martha Morton. author of "A Bachelors Romance" His Wife's Fath- er," etc, began with her winning com petition organized twelve years ago by The New York World with drama called 'The Merchant" If The Theatres com petition is instrumental in producing an other unacted American dramatist who will be as successful. the magazine will have rendered a service to the drama.
 The parrot shown on the Autographs of Foxy Quiller,' the comic opera soon to be presented here, is a reality. In many of the cities visited by the com pany skeptics are found who do not be- lieve a real live parrot is a member of the organization. Their doubts are dis pelled when they attend the performance and see the bird play a part which in its peculiar way is quite IS indispensable as any role in the opera. The bird was trained to act by Richard Golden. it's owner and the star of the company.
 It is almost a certainty that the veteran actor, J. H. Stoddart, will make hut one more professional tour Seventy-eght years old over seventy having been pass ed upon the stage, this dear old man is the admiration and marvel of his time When Kirke La Shelle produced The Bor nie Briar Bush. he made known his desire to star MT.

Stoddart replied T should like to play The Bonnie Brier Bush for three years before I retire, and I will promise you to play that long, God willing" Next season is the third year of The Bonnie Briar Bush," and MT. La Shelle feels that it is more than likely to be MT. Stod- darts last in active work.

The Bostonians, in Robin Hood ,

| The Bostonians, in Robin Hood. " | It is claimed that the production on Tuesday evening of the DeKoven-smith opera, Robin Hood at the Montgom- cry Theatre by the Bostonians will be on scale of splendor surpassing any pre- vlous presentation of the piece in this | country.
 Messrs Barnabee and McDonald re- mained in New York all summer super vising the preparations and the models | for the new sets were completed last May The costumes. properties and seen cry are entirely new. The pictures of Sherwood Forest at early dawn. showing the rising mists and the changing lights. the gathering of Robin Hoods "merrie men," the foresters and the archers in l their costumes of green. 1t is promised will afford a most fascinating feast of | feudal romance.
 It will be comparatively a new Robin Hood" that will be presented here. True there will he H. C. Barnahee, as the Sheriff of yore. with his "eagle eye and massive brain" and the original Little John, W. II. Mcdonald. the founders of the world famous comic opera organiza- ton that bids fair to be forever known as The Bnstonians." An ensemble of nearly hundred people and stage settings ex-
  the most spectacular presentation of his prosperous career, and is In marked cons trast to the first puny production over twelve years ago in Chicago.
 The chorus. it Is said, will be on grand scale. being considerably augment ed in numbers. and a crowd of auxiiaries will disport themselves in the Nottingham fair scene and in the gambols of Sher- wood Forest.
 The company selected by the Bostonians this season appears to be particularly strong. Grace Van Studdiford will be the Maid Marian. Josephine Bartlett, the orig inal Dame Burden, will continue in that role: George B. Frothingham promises an exact reproduction of his first per formance of Frtsr Tuck. expecting to he just as nervous as if 1t were first night. Olive C. Moore will appear as Alan-a- Dale. Howard Chambers is to sing Will Scarletts role. The title role, Robin Hood. will be played alternately by Wfl- liam c. Weedon and Harold Gordon. both tenors having an equal standing in the company. Alice Judson is cast for Ana bel, and Campbell Donald will play Guy of Gisborne.
 The Bostonians will have their own spe- cial orchestra.

Montgomery Theatre. Tuesday Evening-The Botonsians,
 Tn Robin Hood"
 Wednesday Evening-"Mr. Jolly of
 Joliet. ,"
 The announcement that The Bostonians. the famous old singing organization, headed by the veteran. H. c. Barnabee is to produce Robin Hood at the Mont gomery Theatre Tuesday evening is enough to tickle the palates of Montgom- cry music lovers.
 In these days of theatrical clap-trap' so-called musical extravaganzas and put- foonery 1t is refreshing to know that healthy musical organization like the Bos- tonians continues to thrive. Its reputa- ton was made many years ago and some of those who gave it repute are yet enjoy ing its success.
 The company will sing Robin Hood. believed to be DeKoven's best opera.
 Wednesday night a new comedy. MT. Jolly of Joliet" will come to the Perry Street playhouse. Edward Garvie. a new comedian, will produce the piece, which is said to be sponsored by Broadhurst and Currie, producers of some very sue cessful plays.

Thomas G. Brady, the well known pros
moter, who is actively engaged in Sc
curing manufacturing industries for
Clarksburg, is in receipt of information
that n large pottery concern has decided
to locate here, and he has been requested
to meet representatives of the concern
for the purpose of concluding negotia-
lions. With this end in view, Mr.. Brady
win leave tonight to meet and confer
with them.
The factory viii be located either at
the Clarksburg Industrial company's sd
dition or steelton, in all probability at
the latter place.
The industry will be one os magnitude
and Importance and take an important
position in Industrial circles in this sec
ton. 1t is the purpose to import the
clay and other materials used in the
manufacture of articles in its lines. In
this connection it is worthy of note that
IS per cent of the pottery used in this
country is imported and there is duty
of 90 per cent on it. On the other hand,
the raw material ia admitted free, and
for that reason home manufactured arti-
cles can be sold cheaper than the import
ed, and will command a ready sale on
that account.
Mr.. Brady is very hopeful of getting
this industry for Clarksburg.
