The English actress loves American
audiences for many reasons. One of
them is that they do not boo" Boo
ing on a first night is a most sepuI-
chral sound" she says.
Regarding critics, Mrs. Langtrv
thinks it is largely a matter of liver
whether they are pleased with a play
or not-"A good liver makes a good
critic" "A law should be made" saws
she, making 1t q misdemeanor for
critics to attend q performance in
company with their wives or sweet
hearts. They are always wrongly in
fiuenced by them on first nights
The use of the word troupe" in
connection with theatrical companies
is another thing which the Jersey
Lily would have abolished In Eng
land, she says, only trained dogs are
members Of "troupes." Some newly
arrived English women Complained to
Mrs. Langtry that the bells on the
street cars were positively nerve
racking"
No one here pays any attention to
bells" quoth the actress. Even the
old man whom 1 have run over with
my automobile so many times-in the
newSpaperS-never hears the bell"
Here Is the last bon mot which Mrs.

with noise; it is too bad this belief is

WooINe OF PERPETUA.

In THE Proud Prince" it is generally
considered by critics that Justin Hunt
ly Mccarthy has more than eclipsed
the loftiness and thought of sentiment
expressed in his first play, IF l Were
King which will long be referred to
as the finest example of romance and
poetry seen in recent years in the
drama. The famous love scene in the
rose garden of IF I Were King be-
tween Francois and Katherine is said
to be more than surpassed in the love
scene of "The Proud Prince" between
King Robert, who appears as the hum
BILE sacristan, and PeFpetua, the pure
souled daughter of the executioner,
who listens to the imprisoned words
of the transformed king with the sun
light falling upon her through the col
ored windows of the church.
81 know nothing Of love- she says
ARE you wise in love wisdom? ?"
To which Robert replies: 81 am wise
in love wisdom. Year in and year out
since I was a boy l have watched the
world awooing, shepherd and shep-
herdess under the hawthorn hedge,
knight and dame in the rose bower,
king and queen on the marble terrace,
and my eyes and my ears have not
lessened my mother-Wit in the meaning
Of love-"
what is the sum of all your wis
dom?"
Love is the soul of the world. I
am no better than a mounting fool, but
I believe the perfect lover to be next
Of kin to the angels"
What is the perfect lover"
"Such one as the many dull would
meanly scorn and the few wise nOb1y
envy. For him love comes like mighty
wind Of fire and burns his heart clean.
He may have been stained and spotted
In the slough of life, but when the
woman comes she saves him.
Can. human love do so much?"
1.-THE heart of woman is the souls
star. She lifts her lover from the COM
mon whirl of things. He is thrilled
with the immortal truth. He shelters
imperishable passion in the perishable
flesh. To gray world such love brings
glory and he that is so graced walks
In the wilderness as in rose garden;
gentle in reverence, loyal in honor, sim
pie in faith. His eyes have glimpses
of the fight of angels; his ears hear
snatches of the music of the spheres,
and even the very dust he treads upon
becomes the golden dust of stars. This
is the love that is mightier than death; ;
this is the mystery of mysteries, the
rose of changeless youth
rs there such love- ~
There is such love. 1t is no dream,
but a glorious reality, TRANSPORTING the
world exalting men, immortalizing
women. If could WOO you with q hun
ter's voice | would cry to you through
the parted leaves. Perpetua, love YOU
with this mighty love, have loved you
since that happy forest day. shall love
you so, Perpetua, till 1 die, and bear
as my one claim to open heaven the
changeless cry: love you, Perpetual y

II HE comic opera event of the sea-
son viii be the appearance of
Francis Wilson and star players
In a revival of the tuneful ''Erminie,"
ut the Metropolitan opera house all
this week, beginning tomorrow night.
The appearance of Mr.. Wilson in
this revival is noteworthy, not only be-
cause of the aggregation of players in
the cast but because at the end of the
season Mr. Wilson leaves the musical
field, in which he has fabored for near
ly a quarter Of a century, to appear
next season In straight comedy, under
the management of Charles FTohman.
The cast of "Brminie'' is the greatest
that has ever been organized for its
presentation, and includes Marguerite
sylvia, Jessie Bartlett Davis, William
Broderick, Clara Belle Jerome, Jennie
Weathersby, William G. Weeden, SCR.
Perugini Robert Broderick and others
who have made enviable regulations
on the operate stage. Mr.. Wilson, of
course, appears in his memorable crea-
ton of Caddy and those who have seen
him in his favorite role know that it Is
the best that he has ever done.
"Erminie" has been before the public
in this country for eighteen years and
from the first production to the pres
ent it has been one Of the favorite light
operas of the American people. The
book is clever and the music is really
infectious, and with the Incompatible
cast with which Mr.. Wilson has sur
rounded himself and the large ensem-
bic Of nearly one hundred people there
IS no doubt of the fact that the produc-
ton in this city viii be treat.
The costuming and scenic effects are
elaborate and beautiful; the presence
and voice of the beautiful prima donna
soprano, Marguerite Sylvia, carry one
back to the old days When Pauline Hall
sang the title role. Jessie Bartlett Da-
Wis, the contralto, gives new effect to
the role Of Capt. Delaney, while the
fascinating grace of Clara Belle Je-
rome makes a dainty and most charm
ing JavOtte. William Broderick as
RaYVy, proves an excellent foil to Fran
els Wilson's Caddy.
To speak Of Mr.. Wilson himself
would be superfiuous, for the position
he holds at the very top of his class
has been won by long years of hard
and faithful work. With his droll
manner and merry quip and jest he
has made audiences laugh for years,
and now that he Is making his fare
Well tour in musical comedy it is ex-
pected that his admirers will flock in
greater numbers than ever to see him.

THIRTY YEARS AFTER.

The New York World makes the fol-
lowing comment on the revival of 1.-THE
Two Orphans" with a star cast on
Tuesday evening last:
Thirty years after! Yet THE Two
Orphans as vital as in the vanished
put not forgotten days of the old IN
Ion Square, still exerts it's strange
power over the sympathies of a new
generation. It's vivid story of vice and
virtue, It's exciting study Of the eIe-
mental passions, are still able alter
nately to thrill an audience and melt it
to tears.
All this was shown last night at the
great revival of the good old play at
the New Amsterdam theater. In sur
roundings of beauty and luxury such
as 1t had never known before, and
before an assemblage which must
have We'd with the one which saw it's
original performance thirty years ago,
1t proved the qualities which have
made 1t endure.
1t remained for this relic Of three
decades ago to bring about the most
remarkable night of this dull theatrical
| season. 1t called out one Of the most
critical audiences of the year But the
people did not go to criticise. Half of
them were there to have dim memories
revived, the other half to verify the
"reminiscences they had heard so often.
The night was one of noisy recep-
tions, of almost constant applause.
| People rose in their seats and cheered
as the favorite stars Of the present
/ day appeared in the rich brocades or
rags of the plays sharply contrasted
Characters.
But if the enthusiasm was uproar-
ious when the newer favorites came
upon the stage the audience fairly rent
itself when such time-honored veterans
as Clara Morris and A. M. Palmer came
| into view. The former in the role of
| the Matron of the Prison of Saltpe-
| triere was almost unnerVed by the
clamor and turned away in tears Mr..

Metropolitan the first week in May
Miss Scheff and her company of one
hundred people had a long and sue
cessful run at the Broadway theater,
New York, in the early part of the sea
son. The star and opera were pro-
nounced by both press and public of
New York as the biggest event of the
season.
The costumes and scenery used in
the American production Of 1.-The Car
dinaP this season were made and built
for Mr.. E. S. Willard under his per
sonal direction. In the selection of
materials for the costumes and the
drawings Of the scenes Mr.. Willard
was advised by bishop Of the Roman
Catholic church, who has spent many
years in Rome as an attache at the
Vatican. There is absolutely nothing
missing in the costuming Of "The Car
dinal," the smallest detail being car
embroidery on the backs Of the red
gloves worn by the princes of the
church. 1.-The Cardinal" will be seen
at the Grand opera house on May 20
for one week, with Edwin Holt in the
title role, supported by company Of
unusual excellence.

"THE STAIN OF GUILT" AT THE
GRAND.

THE Stain of Guilt is the name of
the melodrama which will hold the
boards at the Grand opera house this
week, beginning tonight. 1t is said to
combine both novelty in conception
and sensation in .cllmaxes, which are
two elements that strongly appeal to
lovers of melodrama. There is also
said to be a purity of story and an
originality in the types Of character
about this play that bespeaks an aim
to making it true to life. While there
Is a apreponderance of thrilling situa-
lions, the production Is also said to
contain much wholesome comedy, in
terspersed in such manner as to make
the pathOs and humor properly blend
Some very elaborate scenery is
promised, it requiring a special car to
carry the scenic equipment for this
company.
The leading role is that Of an Italian
street singer and is in the hands of
Lillian Seymoure, who is said to be an
exceptionally clever leading woman
The part, which is highly emotional,
not only requires an actress with more
than usual talents, but one who also
possesses vocal abilities, and Miss
Seymoure Is said to fully meet these
requirements. Other roles in the plav
are those of a detective, a banker. q
tough Italian, a neWsbOy, a burglar.

reason that they are born and bred In
an atmosphere of art, in lands where
art and literature are cultivated and

that Mr.. Carnegie, so firm a believer in
the endowment of libraries, cannot
realize what a potent educational fac
tor would be theater conducted on
academic lines, where there would be
standards of6orrect speech and taste,
accurate costuming, and where the
younger generation might become ac-
quainted with the great classics of the
English speaking drama?

THE OLD OBJECTION.
Against Acting as Deputy Judge One
 Day and Attorney the Next.

The ever standing objection to deputy judge of the district court playing, the dual role of attorney one day and judge the next in his own court was revived at short calendar to-day by Attorney Bronson.
 MT Bronson, as counsel for the Con- necticut Railway & Lighting Go, ob- jected to Deputy Judge Peasley hear ing some cases against the company because he has some cases himself pending against that concern. Judge Cowell who presided. said he would decide whether or not Judge Peasley was disqualified from hearing such cases, whereupon John ONeill said that Judge Cowell had no such power; that 1t is matter which. acording to the statutes, Judge Peasley should de" eide himself. It was said that MT BrOnson's next remark was that he could get no justice in the district court anyway, and that In fact 1t made little difference to him, there fore what judge presided, but no such remark was made. At least Deputy Judge Peasley did not hear it. Judge Peasley said MT Bronson was off the track or something to that effect, be cause the cases that he had against the trolley company have been settled some time ago.
 MT Bronson replied that he had no personal objection to Judge Peasley; it was simply matter of principle with him and nothing more. Then the matter closed.
 On Thursday next the ease of Friedman against Sdmons will be re. sumed and on Friday the case of Hig- gins vs Mancint will be heard On Tuesday, March 15 the case Of At torney James D. Russell against F. N. Sharp will be heard.
 Judgment was given the defendant Ill the case of Jenner vs Brooks. This was a dispute over boundary line in which the plaintiff claimed the de- fendant wrongfully took four feet of land from him. Damages of $7OO were claimed.

 William Cuddy on North Elm Se.

The fire department was called this morning to 14 North Elm street, where smoke from a clotAes closet in the part of the building occupied by William Cuddy showed that fire was at work and would soon make trouble. Yo ren- der the situation all the more serious, funeral was about to take place out of the end of the tenement that fronts on Brown street, but inasmuch as the mourners stood ready to remove the corpse at short notice If such precau- tion should prove necessary, no com motion was caused on this account, and things were carried out In the house of mourning as originally planned The fire got inside the wood- work and 1t took some time to extin- guish it. The damage was slight.
