THE DRAMA.
Miss Della For Reappears on the
Stage.

Nobody on the stage of the Princess Theatre last
night sang ut not like that in the days of
old" but It might we'll be admitted-surey
there be no real kindness in trying to conceal
the fact-that great many in the audience thought
it, Miss Della Fox, climbing to view from behind
garden wall and taxing the mettle Cor the musclel
of two brave soldier-supes to set her down upon
the ground without bump, emerged last evening
into publicity after four years of retirement clad
again I'm military trousers and dashing smile.
The house arose to greet her. and then she sang.
The song was not attractive. and she did not
sing with any redeeming charm. The tenn
porary excitement caused by her entrance sub
sided, and the house settled back 10
dure the process OF unfolding the thread
OF silly story and measuring out IN convenient
lengths the metallic music which constitute THE
West Point Cadet" the musical comedy which Miss
FOX chose as her vehicle for reinstatement in the
armament Of fixed stars. Once later Miss Fox came
out on the stage smoking cigarette, and some
BODY thought of Wang and started feeble APP
pause; and once in a scene when she was called
upon to assume the garb of woman while playing
the part OF boy she gained pleased attention But
for the most part honesty compels the confession
that she did rise equal to the emergency. ana
one who had never her in the past would
have been at some difficulty last night TO compre-
bend the justification for putting her forward as a
star now. It may be that times have changed. and
with them tastes Miss Fox; yet surely there
have been latitudinal expansions-but enough said!
Miss Fox most unfortunate in her choice OF
piece The West Point Cadet" is. of all the

sically trivial connections that have struck Broad

best wishes in the world for Miss Fox could not
Justify a hope that this continuance will live. A
quick death, and death painless as its choral
singers will permit should be its fate. The piece
is SAID TO nave been adapted from the French by

the rest concerned let us ring down the asbestos

RESOLUTION Or. HuNTINeroNs.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir In this mornings report of the proceedings
of the convention OF the diocese of New-York
am said to have introduced resolution with
reference to the building OF the Cathedral Of St.
John the Divine. This error is uninportant so
far as those present at the convention are con-
cerned who will at note and understand IT,
But the dignity of this great enterprise its sig
niicance and value to the diocese and. not least,
to the city of NewYork, make it proper that I
should ask your permission TO correct so manifest
an error IT was the distinguished rector of Grace
Church, the Rev. Dr.. Huntington, who brought
this matter before the convention. and the con-
peculiar power win not be forgotten by the diocese
and city. PASSALa HARROW Eli
