A New Irish Play.
The Irish contingent in New York

only a patch on the attention that is to

BelascO's theater next Autumn, when

lit is hoped. prove a stepping stone to-
ward bringing the irish play from the
melOdramatic slough in which IL has
lately been submerged.
When lyman wrote Robert Emmett,
in which he made his electric success at
the Fourteenth Street Theater Two
years ago, he indicated in the first act
something of the plane on which he
thinks the play Of this country should
be cast. but after that act he was
obliged to carry out the policy OF the
house in when it was produced and
trot out battle. murder and sudden
death" with all their accompanying
thrusts at the veritles. In the new play
the material will be of an altogether
different character. and that the piece

Forests Perpetual Youth.
Forrest Is indeed a remarkable man.
To see htSn on the stage one would take
him FOR d fellow IN the prime of youth:
in reality he IS verging on 10 the six

boards after seeing his Petronius, the

York production of QUO Vadis." He
IS. indeed. a wonder. not only in facial
makeup but in counterfeiting IN his
every movement the fire and elasticity
of youth
Forrest played for two years at the
Court Theater in Vienna under tha fam
Gus SonnenthaI. from whom he learned
much, then spent five years in London

Mrs. Langtry in her first tour Of the

Coming to this country, he appeared at

Some Of Mansfeld's Leading Women.
OF course, no one expected to find with
Mr.. Mansfield the same leading woman
he had with him on his former visit
10 New York some three months since.
In fact. we knew ;hQt Grace Elliston
must have left him, as we saw her as
Olivia with Viola Allen In Twelfth
Night but few weeks ago. 1 think I
am right in averring that since his wife
Beatrice Cameron, retired from the
boards. Mr. Mansfield has not had the
same leading woman two seasons in
succession
In "Cyrano" he introduced Margaret
Anglin 70 New York as Roxane. IN
Henry V" he had Susan Brassev for
Princess Katherine; In Monsieur Beau-
caire" he played opposite Lettice Fair
fax. and last year the slight role Of
Portia IN Julius Caesar" fell TO Doro-

IN all the later Mansfield productions
are so slight as to seem to make it of

Mansfield as Ivan the Terrible.
Mansfield is with US again. Two visits
IN the one season is an unexpected
treat for New York, no doubt made pos
sioie by the falling down Of attractions
that were planned to keep the stage Of
metropolitan theaters fully occupied for
the season.
This eccentric star IS a winning one,
too. Once more do we behold weH-dn-
ed orchestras and fewer rows Of empty
chairs in the balcony, which in this un-
happy winter of theatrical discomfort
have all too often presented the barren
ness Of Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
In his Tolstoi tragedy. Ivan the Ter
rible," Mansfield is indeed great. His
picture of the strong willed yet dodder-
ing old tyrant is at once repulsive and
compelling. The indications Of grim hu-
NOR threading the mans character
serve to light up portrayal that with

Some Defects Of the Play.
AS TO the play itself. I understand
that Mr.. Mansfield. in his reverence for
the work Of the Russian author, has
permitted no cuts or other changes that
might have adapted the piece more
httingly 70 American tastes. As it
stands. It is not cumulative in interest
Each act-each scene almost-seems
complete IN itself
But Mr.. Mansfield could do something
20 remedy this defect by adopting a
scene drop and shortening the waits
between the episodes On the night OF
my visit these were sometimes as long
as the acts themselves. with the result
that the continuity OF the interest was
imperiled and the performance was not
over until midnight. There is nothing
in the setting that requires these long
delays, ana / suspect they are due sim
ply 20 the caprice Of the star, who may
wish TO chat with friends In his dress
ing-roOm or otherwise take his own
time about giving the signal 20 ring up |
And the falling of the act drop and the
turning up Of the lights after each
scene tend to confuse the audience.
One thing surprised me; thsre was
