 Ulysses" was first shown by Beerbohm Tree at His Majesty's Theatre in Lon don. where 1t not alone attracted large houses, but commanded the most earnest attention by reason of the splendor Of it's pictoral environment and the perfect drilling of its horde of supernumeraries. MT. Fr0hnian, 1t is understood, has brought over to this country all the scenery. costumes and properties made use of by MT. Tree on the far side of the Atlantic, and will employ some 200 per- sons in the New York revival.
 It will cost the Bostonians over soo.0oo ae forfeit money to enable them to cancel all contracts after Vancouver in order to sail with the entire organization January 10 for Australia. The managers who have engineered this round the world tour for the Bostonians have offered $10.0Oo to- wards the amount, leaving $15.oOO for Bar nabee and Mcdonald to pay. The dates in Minnesota are the most difficult, as the Bostonians have not played in that State for seven years and the contracts two seasons ago for Minneapolis and St. Paul were cancelled. Many of the cities in the South are asking rather big indemnity for cancellation of their contracts.
 Jim Bludso" projected by Rich and Harris. with Robert Hilliard as the star feature of the cast, was made known at the Fourteenth Street Theatre in New York on Monday evening. Jim Bludso'' is stage adaptation of two or three of the early poems of John Hay. As coun- tsrplots to the story of the Mississippi engineer who, when his steamboat caught fire. ran her aground ot the loss of his own life, in order to insure the safety of the passengers, the episodes of MT. Hays little Brooches" and "Banty Tim" have been made use of by the dra- matist, and the whole mixture turns out to be exceedingly interesting and highly dramatic. The leading scenic episodes of Jim Bludso" are steamboat race on the Mississippi and the bursting of the ievee by the swollen waters of that ma jestic stream, causing a disastrous flood and furnishing opportunities for intrepid acts on the part of the hero.
 ''The Girl With the Green Eyes," and Clara Bloodgood, are making a phenom- enal success at the Savoy Theatre, New York where they have had already two weeks of crowded houses. There is much of novelty and interest in this latest work of Clyde Fitch, which he Is said to re- gard, too, as his greatest. It begins with a wedding and depicts the various incl dents of a somewhat strenuous honey moon. Its picture of present day manners and its delineation of present day char acters are in MT. Fitchs style, and the result is a number of decidedly attractive and interesting groupings. There is, of course, a Clyde Fitch sensation in 1t, or rather couple of them. One of these comes in the second act, where a number of tourists are passing through the Vat lean Gallery, and where. with amusing ingeniousness, they discuss the works of art there. The other is in the final scene where the green eyed" bride. overwhelm- ed with shame at the unnec sssary trouble which she has made, attempts to make an end of her own life. Both these scenes surprise the audiences and are considerably talked about.
