When "The Sorceress'' is presented
in America this season we will see Mrs.
Patrick Campbell in the role that Bern
hardt has created a furore in both in
London and Paris. This latest play
from the pen of Sardou is an unques-
toned hit, and Manager Charles Froh
man was lucky enough to secure the
English and American rights to it. He

over to Mrs. Campbell; and the first
rendition of the piece on any English
speaking stage will be at the Herald
Square theater in New York city, after

Stella Mayhem, who is to be a star
this season under the management of
Stair & Havlin, has chosen the suitable
title of Maid of Money for the We
hicle which will introduce her to star
dom. 1t is said that Miss Mayhem
originally intended to play only in the
better class of the popular-pr the
aters, but rehearsals have progressed
SO satisfactorily that her managers
have made up their mind to book the
show in the big syndicate houses, as it
shapes up SO well they think it will
score more pronounced hit in that
quarter. There is also a possibility
that time will be held for Miss May

The cities, outside OF a few in the
East will see very little of Mrs. Fiske
for the next two years. At present ex-
tensive plans have been mapped out for
a long stay at her home theater, the
Manhattan, in New York. Mrs. Fiske
has become most devout student of
the Ibsen plays and such modern crea-
tons that are on the same plane as the
Norseman's works. She has surround
ed herself with a big company and will
likely go in for a series of Ibsen pro-
ductions On a scale never before known
in this country. She will also bring
out the new play by G. S. M. McClel-
Ian, The Great White Light" of which
little is actually known, but if it comes
up to the promise of her friends will
score a decided sensation. Subsequent
~ly Mrs. Fiske may also do "Monna
Vonna," Maeterlick's play, which was
censored in Germany. In the event
this play is put on in this country it
will be under the sanction of the au-
thor, who has insisted that his play
shall be given as he intends it.
