ing about during the present season,
and for this reason Miss Robson may
especially congratulate herself.
Mother Goose" at the New Amster-
dam Theater, is probably the first spec
tacular show in this country-or any
other for that matter-to have upon its
payroll and in active service a full
blooded North American Indian girl.
There is a song in Mother Goose" call
ed Laughing Water" that has made
an extraordinary hit. The singers par
ticipating in this number are made up
as Indians, and the other day the stage
manager was very much surprised to
receive a call from a young woman ap-
plying for a position in the Laugh
ing Water" chorus-a young woman
who, although exceedingly pretty, bore
upon her countenance unmistakable
evidences of aboriginal ancestry. The
idea of an Indian song with a real In
dian maiden in it appealed to the stage
manager, and the Mohawk chorus girl
is now a quite potential figure in the
New Amsterdam's big spectacle.
Transferred by Order of the Mayor
of New York" as his advertisement put
it, Kyrle Bellew with "Raff1es. the
Amateur Craftsman" has resumed mis-
New York run, taking possession of the
Savoy Theater. Mr.. Bellew has given
one hundred and nineteen performances
of this piece in New York. and will
remain with it at the Savoy until the
the 1.-TWO Orphans" company as al
ready mentioned in this letter.
1.-The Pit" at the Lyric Theater, is
unquestionably a great and solid sue
cess. The auditorium is packed to the
doors every night and at the matt
nees, Wilton Lackaye, who has long
cherished an ambition to be a star of
the first magnitude, has his wishes am
ply gratified in the present instance.
He has scored an individual triumph
of the most enviable description.
MRS Leslie Carter" says David
Belasco will play all next season at
my theater in New York. 1 have al
ready finished one play for her use and
before the Autumn comes around l
will have another ready, in case she
finds it necessary to fall back upon a
second drama. This contingency how
ever, is extremely doubtful in my mind
as am convinced that the work have
already prepared for her use will be
found amply satisfying, both to Mrs.
Carter and the public"
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
goes this week to Norfolk and Rich
mond and afterward will be seen in
Washington and Baltimore. This play,
concerning which none but Liebler &
Co.. were at all sanguine at the out
set, has been one of the really great
successes of the season, playing to S.
400 in single week in Louisville, S12,-
900 in a similar period in Cincinnati
$4,000 in st. Louis, $4,000 in Cleveland
and so on. Some of the cities named
are usually voted pretty hard PROPOSE
lions in a financial sense, thus making
Mrs. Wigs conquering visits all
the more worthy of note. The comedy
will come into the Savoy Theater, New
York. next September, with no limita-
ton as to the duration of it's run.
Charles Frohman announces for the
remainder of the season in New York.
William Collier in The Dictator"

Henry Miller in "Man Proposes" In
the course OF the next three or four
weeks, MIR. Frohman will make his an
nual trip to Europe. remaining abroad
until August. Just now he is in
state of high citation over having won
twelve prizes at the Dog Show-a feat
much more satisfactory in it's compile
tion than the production of a round
dozen successful plays. Mr.. Frohman
has a baronial domain at White Plains
and is an enthusiast i'm the breeding
of dogs of aristocratic lineage.
Richard Mansfield will play Ivan the
Terrible" for two weeks at the New
Amsterdam Theater. Afterward he
will revive Beau Brummelr' and the
other plays of his repertoire.
II looks as though THE Girl from
Kays," with Sam Bernard in the role
of Hoggenhcimer. would remain a the
Herald Square Theater until the end of
the theatrical term.
