"The Darling of the Gods has made
a sensational hit at Belascos. 1t is inn

Blanche Bates has never done anything
better than her creation of the little

for Kara, the outlaw, strongly acted by
Robert 7. Haines, forms the tragedy of
the play. OF notable interest among the
wonderful cast brought together by Mr..
Belasco, is George Arliss an artist Of
fine calibre and subtle intellect. And
yet, with it's list of strong players, and
despite the extraordinary success each
has individually scored, the fact remains
that the personality and genius Of Mr..
Belasco rises above all.
Julia Marlowe has settled down COM

Country Girl at Daly's theatre ended,
although the piece could easily run the
entire winter. judging from the crowded
houses which have greeted it since the

STANCE and Julian Edwards novel civil
war opera, When Johnny Comes March
ing Home" with a cast and chorus of
$50 people. The opera is in three acts,
the scenes showing the interior of Gen.
eral Aliens headquarters during a ball
given to Federal officers by Confederate
bellies, Felix Graham's plantation and
the encampment of the Federal army
on the eve of the declaration of peace.
The story, while possessing the dramatic
spirit and the atmosphere of war, is con-
fined mainly to affairs of the heart and
all sectionalism Is eliminated. The music
is brilliant and fascinating and far
above the average of comic opera. In a
most effective way Mr.. Edwards makes
use of all the stirring airs that were the
vogue during the civil war, interspersing
them with darkey melodies and the
songs Of the blue and the gray, in COM
positions full of originality and charm.
At the Herald Square theatre Richard
Mansfields Julius Caesar is attract
ing much attention. His new interpre-
tation of the character of Brutus has
been assailed by some critics, but the
great public shows its appreciation Of
this wonderful presentation by keeping
the house packed to the doors every
night and at every matinee.
This is remarkable when it is remem-
bered that a similar condition of affairs
obtains at the Victoria, where Viola
Allen presents The Eternal City," at
the Manhattan, where Mrs. Fiske is
magnetizing multitudes nightly by her
rarely clever presentation of the Mag

pronounced approval
The magnificent staging of these plays,
the size and talent of the companies and
the unusual talent of the stars is max

the drama here. Each of the great
quartette is drawing an equal amount Of
attention and adding to already justly
attained laurels.
