been acted in America until Mime. Bernhard
"Sappho" has been played in this country, in
the Fitch version, by Olga Nethersole. Fedora"
also is perfectly familiar here.

herdt first appeared in it in 1879. She was i'm
mediately credited with having Outdone
Rachel, who had previously been the standard

dreds of times.
Nine. Bernhardt's concluding performance in
the first week of her New York engagement
comprises a double bill. consisting Of Behoi-
mus" and LA Femme de Claude" The first is a
act play never before presented IN this coull-
try. in which Mime. Bernhard viii be seen IN
the only boys part that she will play IN New
York La Femme de Claude" is a play in four
acts by Alexandra Dumas The wife Of Claude

E s Willard will begin his special engage
1nent at the New-Amsterdam Theatre with 1.-THE
FOOLS Revenge" Bertuccio is a character that
was dear to the hearts of Phelps, Edwin Booth
and other tragic actors of the last generation.

"a Pair of Spectacles," by Sydney Grundy, and
"The Man Who Was" the play from Rudyard
Kiplng's story that Beerbohm Tree produced
with success In London year ago. Mr.. Willard
IN AJ& If fhesa and
has painstahngly prepared them to meet the
requirements Of this engagement. Though
"a Pair Of Spectacles' is not new TO New-York,
it has been seen little, and with such long
intervals between its several representations
(notably by Mr.. John Hare), that it viii have
something of the value of a novelty when per-
formed by Mr.. Willard and his company. Hap
ply too, it is q comedy of such delightful and
wholesome quality that admirers of plays of
genuine merit and numorously true character
will welcome its addition to Mr.. WIZARDS roper
toire. THE Man Who Was" will be in sharp
dramatic contrast to Mr.. Grundy's comedy, and
audiences that take pleasure in comparative
estimates of actors characterizations will
have an excellent chance to judge Of Mr.. Wal
lards transitional skill, For the third and final
week, Of the engagement there will be an almost
nightly change Of bill. Christmas matinee and

ing Leo Ditrichstein's new farce, Before and
After" will have its first metropolitan presen-
tation. It would be unfair to the dramattst to
attempt to give the detail of the action for farce
is fragile at the best. Perhaps it will not be
aTniss to say, however, that Before and After
is really the story Of an accidental kiss given
by a very serious minded and legitimate physi-
clan, whose offices are supposed to be located N

wife Of an irascible French colonel stopping at
