amateur affair, and Miss Kopp's profess

year when she became a member OF the

famous by Della Fox, in whose foot

received great praise therefor. Miss

years, and by her work attracted the at

La Shelle secured her signature for the
next regular season, and Mr.. Savage

Mr.. Bellows Plans.

The Kyrle Bellew production of next
season Will introduce Mr. Bellew to the
American public in a line of work in
which he has not been seen for many
years, if ever, and yet which Will give
fresh evidence of the versatility of this
artist. The basis for the play is Z. ".
Hornung's familiar character of RAJ
fies,' the gentleman thief who has be-
come about as well known to the novel
reading world as has Conan Doyle s
Sherlock Holmes. Mr.. Hornung and
Mr.. Doyle are, in fact brothers-in-law,
and IL is said that he originated the
character of "Raffies" simply to illus
trate to the doctor the truth of his con-
tention-the subject for many a
good-natured argument-that Sherlock
Holmes opposite could be made quite as
interesting a character as that OF the
famous detective himself.
The Hornung play has been revised by
e. w. Presbrey. who has woven into the
play the character of Captain Redwood,
which f. NJ. Holland made famous some
years ago in Jim, the Penman," and in
this role Mr.. Holland will appear as a
foil to "Raftles," Mr.. Holland being
featured in the role. The play should
prove success with two such capable
actors in the leading roles. Mr.. Bellew
will return from his visit to England
the latter part of August TO prepare for
the new undertaking.

An Issue Between the Theat-
TiCal Promoter and His
PatTons-Wijh Whom the
the Blame Lies.


A THOUSAND pertinent inquiries
"A are suggested by the close OF
the Galland engagement at the
Columbia last night. They are per-
tinent to the readers of these col
umns. at least, and are suggested rather
by the unhappy finale of the enterprise
than by the mere ending of the engage
ment. To their consideration, then, The
Times invites the attention of its read
ers.
In all the history of local stock COM
panies which are within the recollection
of today's theatergoers, this was the
most notable organization of that char
acter. 1t was headed by one of the
strongest and most comely young act
resses of the day. 1t included one of
the most capable veteran actresses now
on the stage. Its leading man was dis
tinguished for intellect, ability, and
scholarship. The company included. in
addition TO these three. about q dozen
actors of known experience and mani
fest skill. For the use of these persons
were chosen three plays of high station
in the realm of literature, three of the
greatest plays ever written-"The School
for Scandal" Romeo and Juliet" and
'Macbeth''-and for the production of
these works were provided rich and
Beautiful costumes and adequate scenery.
Yet, in the popular sense, the en-
Gagement was not a success. Other com
panies OF one-tenth as much strength
in plays or light operas not worth
comparing with the three great works
cited, have earned twice as much sup
Tcrt and made apparently deeper i'm
pressions. What strange condition is
fhist
