"a FIGHTING CHANCE"
PRocToR's FIFTH AVENUE.

Jameson Lee Finney, Mr.. ProctOrs latest recruit
from the ranks Of the regulars appeared yesterday
at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in a sketch called "A
Fighting Chance" written by Algernon Tassin-
He supported by Miss Keyes. las. seen in the
cast of THE Secret OF Polichinelle," where she
was the Yes mamma" girl Mr.. Tassins sketch
tells the story of a gentleman thief who sneaks
into a guest chamber in the Waldorf to steal.
where he is confronted by a girl who. he sup
poses. has entered for the same purpose. 1t de-
velops that she has only to steal the occU-
pants pattern for a French gown, but she
gets her lesson well the real thief. and the
two escape together without their booty. but both,
apparently, morally the richer. The little farce
Is far from the bosterous sort common on the
vaudeville stage, and, If less noisiy mrthfu more
likely to be remembered beyond the brief moments
Of its performance. Mr.. Finney's assumption of
GOODNESS and his command of gentlemanly repartee
had much to do with the success OF the sketch
with the audience. and should add another glimpse
TO the peeps at the better usages OF the stage
which Mr.. Proctor has lately been Rhordins his
patrons.

SUMNER ADJUSTMENTS.
'HEDDA GABLER" IN STOCK.
West End Theatre.

The curious experiment of playing Ibsen with a
popular priced" stock company tried last
night at the West End Theatre in Harlem, where
Miss Una Abell-Brinker appeared IN the title
part Of "Hedda Gabler." Not the least curious
part Of the whole proceeding the surprising
measure Of success achieved. however uncom-
mendahle, or even unnecessary. the experiment may
have been, question which has been sufficiently
discussed in this place. Tho leading actress has
not only never played the part, but she saw
Mrs Fiske or any else play 1t, and the entire
company did not begin rehearsals until last Tues
day. Their ability to accomplish anything with the
drama must have been largely due. then, TO the
presence OF Max Flgman stage manager. Mr.
Ffgman also the stage manager for Mrs.
F1skes production Of the play, and by further
appearing as Brack, with the West End company.
he contrved to achieve the result last night.
Indeed, In watching the performance was
first Of all impressed with the Photographic trans
terrence Of Mrs. F1ske's performance to the other
stage. Miss Brinker sat in the spots Mrs.
Fiske did. she held her hands in the same way,
she spoke often with the infections. and she
appeared who had closely watched Mrs.
tiske play. And yet she saw her on the stags
