story and at length interrupted by sudden
call 10 arms, yet fully equaling-I think
it eclipses-any preceding spectacle OF its
kind. Belascos skill with stagefuls OF
people who behave naturally while forming
themselves into intricate tableaus, yet with
out letting the story get out of sight for
minute, is that of dramatic genius. There
is no doubt of that. He can plan ingenious
lily, and that Is not so exceptional but ne
can execute quite as well, and that is a
rare accomplishment. He insists on being
the sole and complete boss of every theat-
rical job he undertakes, from the writing
of the first word to the acting OF the last
one. and that Is the reason why he reaches
results which many other men miss by
lacking his obdurate insistence upon his
ideas being carried out TO the uttermost.
Many stage exhibitions have been inspired
by Byrons sound of revelry by night
before the morning of Waterloo. Some OF
them have reflected the dreadful portent Of
carnage Others have pictured the fair
of the impending battle thrown on them.
No other verses have led TO so many d.
verse dramatic paraphrases. But L don't
believe that any or these gatherings and
separations at a military ball in play
have been as masterful as this one of En-
glish and Irish soldiers and bellies at Bath.
But you may have read 1.-The Bath
Comedy" and desira to know something
about the play which IL has given rise to.
Mr.. Belasco began ii three years ago, and
1t Is not likely that he then had Henrietta
Crosman in mind for the heroine. 1 fancy
that his choice of her from among the
suitable actresses was made when he saw
her in Mistress Nell" and that he adapted
the character of Kitty to her talent after
making the engagement. The Widow Bel
lairs is an Irish woman Of witty speech,
auda cious manner, roguish coquetry and
impulsive passion, as Nell Gwynne was,
though she doesn't figure in the guise of
either man or a wanton. Still, she is
social swashbuckler hail-fellow with men
she likes, insulting to the women she dis
likes and regardless of the common rules of
politeness usually o6eyed by her sex in
modish society. Such a brash creature

ter conditions than it will be this week.
The music is of the sparkling, tuneful sort,
with a company of nearly fifty comedians
and singers to give Il vim. That il is a
production of high quality is indicated by
the seven years record it has made, being
the only musical effort of its kind that has
stood so long test on the stage Besides
it's musical value. another reason for this
success Is the number OF original ideas
revealed In its characters. The chorus Is
made UP entirely OF young women. The
Bloom, an ambitious young player. whose
methods are as original as they are clever.
Another Is Nellie V. Nichols, whose simu-
lation of intoxication In one act is held up
as a delicious bit of realism. Jules Bennett,
Thompson are only few or the others.
The production will abound in speciality
performers of uncommon merit. The COM
pany is said to contain a number of singers
who long ago won name on the stage,
chief among them being May F. Linden. a
soprano singer, who was recruited from the
Bostonians.
The revel of music and fun will continue
on Thursday afternoon. when Charles
Loder and a company of twenty-five spe-
cialty people and chorus comes to close
the week in a new farce comedy, THE
Funny Side of Life" The production is not
burdened with plot. Its only purpose Is
&c through generous list of vaudeville
numbers. Mr.. Loder himself is famous as
a German comedian and dancer. Some Of
the members OF the company are: Phil Rus

senators; Ed j. Norris, an Irish comedian:

ever offered at the Empire. There are many
new faces in the organization this year. but

THE JOURNALS POETS.
The Man without the Hoe.


Duped by false hope he ags and looks about
Expecting still to find royal road
To wealth and honor till the lust of pride
Steals like a deadly poison through his veins
And stunts his soul; then ruthlessy he treads
The corpse OF Virtue in the dust: and, though
Remorse may cut him like a sword. the wound
Soon heals; and desperate he stands,
With bitter curses burning in his heart
He looks at humble labor with a sheer;
Disdains to touch the work he finds to do,
Pursuing airy phantoms of dead dreams,
Incompetent to do the thing he would
There is no shape more terrible than this"
The first fruit of false social sentiment
Doomed in the bud to perish of dry rot

Our youth to sturdy manhood filled with love

Some portion of the burden of the world.

And now must turn and holier pathways tread;
The worlds soul is in travail. bringing forth
An epoch new in which head. heart and hand
In unison shall solve its problems grave
Man must work out his salvation; use
The talent God endows him with; a law divine
Is labor. not a punishmenv for sin.

When industry engloves her hands and waits

And grasps the earnings OF his brothers toll

That serves him. Vain is our rebuke, since

And downward looks, a brother to the OK;
This being in the brotherhood of man,
