POOR SHOWS IN NEW YORK.

There probably never was a summer
season in this city with such lack
of good plays, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer's New York correspondent. Out
side of two there isn't a show in town
that is receiving sufficient patronage
to pay its expenses. The bad weather,
of course, has something to do with
it. The fact remains that none of the
new productions has been worth the
price. Harry Aslxin, in discussing the
matter the other day, said: Some
time a manager who really wants to
get the money will come around to
scheme that / have had in my head
for several years. At every box office
on Broadway the constant demand is
for aisle seats. Every one wants them.
of course, and as the same price is
charged for the others they feel dis
appointed if they do not get what they
ask for Seems to me it would be an
excellent scheme for some manager to
try the plan of charging 50 for the
aisle seats and $1.50 for all the rest of
the orchestra. except, perhaps, a couple
of rows in front. This would not ap-
ply, of course, to any attraction that
is doing land Office business but the
average show which comes here and
tries to play to- 81 q seat has half
the house empty most of the time.
whereas if a lot of good seats were
offered at $1.50 each the house would
be crowded. No better example Of
what 1 mean can be found than The
Wizard of o. which is making hand
some profit largely because the man
agement is wise enough to limit the
price Of seats to $1.50.""

TELLING PLAYERS THE TRUTH.

The players Of London have truth
handed out to them occasionally
through the correspondence columns of
the press. This occurred lately, when
the following appeared over the sigma
ture of a playgoer:
zone of the reasons of the decadence
of the stage is that the actor has been
overfed with praise. He is now dicta-
torial person with a revening appetite.
Spoonfuls Of praise will no longer do.
He must have shovelfuls. He has at
tanned to the swallowing powers Of
Gargantua. One would have thought
that the true skill of acting would be
shown in the power to adapt ones self
to any character or part-in the power
to make live and vivify any parsonage
suggested by the author. 1t was so in
the healthy old rogue and vagabond
days. But now it is altogether differ
ent The cart Is put before the horse.
The author must weave a garment-or
rather halo-around the actor. And so
it has come to pass that the plays that
are being put on the English stage are
no longer worth seeing. They are in no
sense pictures OF life. They are only
illustrative Of curtains and climaxes.

~THE MAN FROM MEXICO" AT THE
METROPOLITAN.

The Ferris company will be seen for
the week, beginning tonight, in the ex-
tremely funny farce by H. A. Du Sou
Chef, entitled 1.-The Man From Mex
leo" The author was unknown until
the production of his first play, my
Friend From India" and at the first
production Of ''The Man From Mexico"
in New York, the house was packed
with those who were curious to learn
whether the author possessed staying
qualities The result justified the eX-
lpectations Of the author and his
friends, and the piece served for the
exploitation Of the talents Of that cley-
er comedian, Willie Collier, for a num-
Der of years.
The story of the play is one chain Of
ludicrous situations. The friends, F1tz-
hugh and Majors, plan to visit the
Cleopatra Music hall with two fair
young ladies. Mrs. Fftzhugh preF2tls
upon Edward Farrar, would-be suit
or for her sisters hand, to accompany
her to the same place so that she can
catch her husband in his friVolities.
The place is raided, Mrs. Fitzhugh is
+ arrested, while her husband and his
/ party escape. Shortly after, however,
! they get into an alteration with the
cab driver, and Fitzhugh is himself ar
rested and sentenced to thirty days;
Mrs. FitZhugh evadeS justice, and then
FitZhugh, who does not know of his
wife's predicament, endeavors to eX-
plain his coming absence by saying
that he is going on a trip to Mexico.
The second act is in the office of the
warden of the prison on Blackwell ISL
and, where Fitzhugh is confined, where
Mrs Fitzhugh visits with committee
from the flower mission. The warden
falls in love with her and the demon
stration Of his affection proves highly
eXaSperating to the husband, who,
however, does not dare to interfere.
The last act shows the supposed re-
turn from Mexico, and the entangle-
ments into which Fitzhugh. is brought
by the well-meaning friend who wants
to help him, but only succeeds in COM
pllcating matters still further. Explana-
lions eventually come from both sides
and all is forgiven.
Dick Ferris will assume the leading
role of Fftzhugh, and the comedy de-
velopments of this character will be
ably seconded by Frederick Montague,
q recent addition to the acting strength
OF the company, as Col. Roderick Ma
jors. Among the others who will ap-
pear are Charles G. Durham as Van
Bulow Bismarck Schmidt, Frederick
Clarke as Warden Loveall, George
Henery as Richard Danton, George
Russ Fiske as Edward Farrar, G. J.
Byrne as Officer Mullens, Harry Lang
don as Sheriff Cook. Matte Choate as
Mrs Clementina Fitzhugh Fannie

SOME NEW HoYT STORIES.


On one occasion the late Charles
Hoyt had an actor in his company with
q penchant for the middle Of the stage.
He endeavored to absorb as much. Of
the calcium rays as possible. 1t an
noyed the playwright, and one evening
while the company was in Kansas City,
Mo-, Hoyt told Zwefel and the house
manager that he wanted them to go
back on the stage after the perform

behind the footlights Mr.. Hoyt took q
stage brace and started for the base
ment. He then proceeded to thump
the beams which supported the stage.
apparently to satisfy himself of their
strength, and, returning to the stage
proper after his investigation sent for
the actor and delivered himself Of the
following:
In Southern town. noted for bad
hotels, Mr.. Hoyt found 1t necessary
to spend two days with "a Temper

stayed at the same hosiery. and when
they got ready to leave Mr.. Hoyt mar

When Mr.. Hoyt was in Minneapolis
with "a Contented Woman" during
the first weeks Of the plays existence,
he invited the doorkeeper to go across
the street with him one evening and
have a drink. Across the principal
street from the theater was a row of
five saloons. and as they neared the
first the playwright remarked:

DOUBTFUL CONTINGENCY.

Some years ago Lew Dockstader was
interested in a colored minstrel COM
pany and had, early one summer, en-
gagged q colored comedian, Ebenezer
Elisha Jones, for the next season. One
day Ebenezer Elisha came around to
inquire as to advanced salary, He was
mighty hungry, he explained, and did
not have a dollar he could call his own.
Dockstader told him that he would
see the treasurer Of the company, and
Just as the colored man was leaving
suggested that he had better sign his
contract, which he had previously fail
ed to do. Ebenezer hesitated. a minute
and then warily observed:
"WeIl, I'll sign, Massa Dockstader;
I'll sign it, all right. but TO- God. Use

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, July 4.-The last
week Of Henry Dixey in Facing the
Music at the Garrick, Is announced.
Originally Mr.. DiXey's contract call
ed for a month in New York, but his
success necessitated stretching the
period to eight weeks, and from ap-
pearances he might have stayed here
all summer. The booking at Powers
theater, in Chicago, however, prevent
ed a longer run in the metropolis. His
performance in this vehicle proved him
much more of an actor than he Is of a
burlesquer or dancer, and he Is very
clever in these lines.
In facial expression and gesture he
Is as clever as John Drew. which is
saying a great deal, and his acting is
quite as highly finished.
George Lederer Is so well pleased
with "The Blonde in Black that he has
decided not to make any important
changes either in book or cast, beliey-
ing both are good enough to insure a
successful summer run, which appear
ances thus far all indicate.
"The Blonde in Black" belongs to the
modern Broadway school Of musical
farce. The atmosphere is attractive,
some Of the characters are well drawn,
and the piece has plot. The stage
pictures are pretty-the absence of the
conventional row of show girls" being
one of the best features of the piece.
The first act takes place In the ladies'
tailoring establishment in Paris of Gas
ton Roulette, an energetic Frenchman,
who is also matrimonial agent and
runs Domestic Fidelity Trust COM
pany." To this place comes Flossie
Featherly, an American who is in
Paris for the purpose of teaching the
cake-walk, though she has ambitions
to play Camille. Flossie promptly gets
entangled in an affair with Van Dyke
Beard. a painter, and through several
other affairs Of the heart that are set in
motion the matrimonial agent has
busy time, indeed. At the end of the
first act there is very pretty cake

A DIAGNOSIS OF KENTUCKY.

Kentucixy's hills are full of rills
And all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full Of gills
And all the gills are full OF thrills.
And all the thrills are full OF kills.
You see. the feudists dot the hills
And camp along the little rills,
Convenient to the busy stills
And 'thirsting for the Drumming gills,
And when the juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around and kills.
Now. II they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentucky's many Ills
Men would be spared to climb the hills
And operate the busy stills.
However, this would mean more gills
And that. of course. would mean more
thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills.
So all the hills and rills and stills
And all the gills and thrills and kills.
Are splendid for the coffin mills
And make more undertaker's bills.
