Mr. Ned Stein and headed by Mr.. Eugene
Ormonde, will be inaugurated one week
from Monday evening with a production of
the Empire Theater Stock Company's IA
vorite play and great success, Lord and
Lady Algy." The piece is well remem-
bered as one of the cleverest comedies of
English social life brought to this country.
Its situations are consistently interesting,
while the lines do not lack for epigram-
matte expression and aptness. This play
was selected from the many available rs
the one best calculated to show the abili-
ties of the new organization. 1t has never
before been seen here as a stock company
offering. for the royalties have been con-
sidered almost prohibitive. William Clagett,

Tonight's performance at the Columbia
Theater brings to a close one OF the most
remarkable engagements this city has ever
known. Whether Miss Gallands Juliet and
her Lady Teazle have realized the ardent
expectations of personal admirers is a ques-
ton which will be variOusly answered MISS
Galland's previous work had given GOOD
reason to hope for the highest achieve
ment. but from THE Pride of Jennico'
and 1.-THE Forest Lovers" to Juliet Is a
far Journey. Most players wait long ana
patiently before expecting the splendid re-
wards which the recognized Interpreter OF
the classics can claim. For one so COM

cent heights would be almost a calamity
Like Alexander. she would sigh Tor new
worlds to conquer. The engagement at the
Columbia affords comforting reminder TO
her that life is still before her. If 1t has not
been supremely prosperous in a pecuniary
sense. it has afforded some valuable sug-
gestions by which. if Miss Galland is wise
as well as clever she will not fail to profit.
That something is lacking is plainly demon
strated. Perhaps it is reputation; perhaps

From the London News.
In the arrangement of his acquired Eng

conductor. who died recently in England,
was never quite happy. He had consider
able difficulty in imparting the simplest
instructions to the English players in his
orchestra. But it was when he essayed a
speech that Signor Arditi was particularly
strong In some "reminiscences recently
published q writer tells about Arditi's
champion effort at speechmaking in Eng
lish. 1T was at the promenade concerts, -
says the writer. THE soloist, Mile. De
Lido. had been detained by railway break
down. and, having no time to put on even
ing attire, she sat for a moment in pri-
vate box while the eloquent conductor
begged the indulgence of the audience, who
naturally would have been astonished to
see her in travelling costume. This is what
Signor Arditi said: LADIES' an genteelmen,

"off Ears" at the Box Office.
From the New York Times.


I'VE have all sorts of difficulties with men
and women who are deaf in either the right
or the left ear" said man who has been
for years in the box Office of a popular
theater. Persons who are totally deaf do
not bother us at all. They are satisfied to
get where they can see well. But men and
women deaf only IN the right ear, or vice
versa, want to get their good ear toward
the person who comes to the theater with
them. Very often man who is deaf in his
left ear comes with a woman who cannot
hear a thing in her right ear. Then we are
up against it, so to speak. But when we
can we take great pains to seat persons
with off ears so that they can talk without
disturbing everybody around them. There
is no greater nuisance in the playhouse
than to have partially deaf man saying to
his wife, What's that? 1 missed that and
to hear her repeat the lines to him in a
loud voice. Outside of the medical profess
sion I doubt if anybody knows as well as
the man in the box office how many per-
sons with off ears there are"
