brother has base purpose in making
love to the girl and by trick very
nearly succeeds in COMPROMISING her.
When Rosa1ie's workman lover discov-
ers the news of the engagement be-
tween Resale and his EMPLOYER he
prepares to go away, and it is then that
her regard for him makes itself appar-
ent, with the result that the man she
has promised to marry gives her I'D to
his humble, but more fortunate rival.
Ihe part of Rosalie Is played In an en-
tlrely charming manner by. SandoI MIL
llKen, While the two brothers are i'm
personated by Guy Bates Post and Ar
noio DaIy respectively. Edward Har-
f1gan scores something of a hit as a
worthless relative Of Rosalie. and 9th
ers IN the cast. of whom words of favor
may be written, are Grace Henderson.
Jennie. Satterlee and Charles Mackay.
me members of the Lambs club are
making good their promise to ex
tend lively welcome to De Wolf Hop
per next Monday evening at the Herald
pquare ,theateEs when he is to present
ms new musical comedy, t'Mr. Pick
WICK, for the first time on Broadway.
1hey nave already purchased a block
OF 5O0 tickets, so that there will he at
least 5000 IN the box office for the
opening performance before the gen
eral public has had a. chance to be
served. This is the first time the
Lambs club has paid such tribute
to member, and it serves to Indicate
the altogether remarkable popularity
OF the Stalwart comedian among his
fellows. 1t is presumed that the ''re-
ceptlonH advanced to the actor when
he first appears to- his Monday even
ing audience will be sufficiently vocif-
erous TO shake the TafterS and rattle
the windows Of the theater
II Mrs. Langtry should ever con-
clude That the stage no longer offers
an available field of usefulness she
may with every sense of fitness turn
her attention to the press agents line
OF endeayor. The manner in which
she has kept public interest at its
greatest height during. her engagement
at the Garr1ck theater here is such as
to stir the spectator to profound adj
miration. The Earl Of Rosslyn, who
has diverted his facile talents to dra-
matte criticism. was rather sarcastic
in his description of 1.-The Cross
Ways" Mrs. Langtry's drama, and that
farSeeIng lady proceeded promptly to
get herself into controversy with her
aristOcratic~ countryman. The linguistic
battle has been raging for the past
fortnight. certainly not to the detri-
ment of Mrs. Langtry's business. This
IS the flnal week Of the engagement,
and next Monday night we shall see
Mice and Men, with Annie Russell
at the head of the cast
David BelaSco Is considering the adj
visibility Of allowing 1.-The Darling of
the Gods to run on straight through
the summer at the superbly appointed
New York playhouse bearing his name.
He would unquestfonably decide af-
Tentatively and Immediately but for
the single fact that when 1t comes to
the long, hot stretch Of weather Miss
Bates may prove unequal to the task |
of going through her tarduous and try
ing performance night after night. |
The work is sufficiently difficult even
during Jthe.Iwirter months. when the
temperature Of the house may be reg
ulated to- a. nicely, and whether she
can uphold the emotional burden Of
her role under the severe conditions of
July and August Is a pretty grave
question. This indeed is the only point
upon which the run Of 1.-THE Darling of
the Gods" may turn. 1t has made the
hit of the year, and there really seems
no end to its vogue.
Jim BludSo'' viii certainly be re-
tained at the Fourteenth street theater
throughout the ten weeks laid aside
for it in the first place, and quite pos
sibly it may stay on beyond that point
From two weeks hence it will be the
only melodrama upon the New York
stage mas much as 1.-THE Ninety and
Nine" will then be Withdrawn from
the Academy of Music to proceed to
Boston and Philadelphia for extended
runs, "Jim Bludso" has served to |
crowd the theater to its capacity, and
at the same time to afford an oppor- |
tunity to Robert f1illiard to still more |
firmly implant himself in the favor Of |
this community.
News Notes of the Stage.
Julia Marlowe is really thinking very |
seriously of going to England next |
spring to play there in 1.-THE Cavalier" |
and perhaps one or two Of the other |
interesting dramas Of her repertoire. |
She has received a definite and en- |
ticing offer to this end, and, as she |
possesses wholly laudable ambition |
toward artistic conquest in other lands |
than our own, it is difficult for her to |
reject the opportunity. Meanwhile she |
has no reason to doubt the fealty of |
her following here, for the reason that |
the Criterion theater is all too small |
to accommodate the masses Of people |
surging about its doors every night.

dispose Of the American rights in his |
various plays for next season, instead |
