Mr. Clarke nor the producers have aim

medium of 1.-The Prince Of India" than
is good for the ordinary mortal with
the playhouse habit.
Henry B. Irving, elder son OF the
late Sir Henry Irving, supported by
his wife, Dorothea Baird, and his Lon
don company, made his first appear
ance In America recently in New
York under the direction Of Klaw
s. Erlanger in a repertory Of plays,
opening in Stephen Phillips romantic
drama, "Paola and Francesca"
Contrary to general belief, this is
Mr.. Irving's first visit to America. 1t
was Lawrence, the younger son, and
not H. B. Irving who supported Sir
Henry in this country II. B. Irving
never appeared in his fathers compa-
ny. He was educated at Marlborough
and New college, Oxford, taking the
degree of B. A. in the honor school OF
modern history in 1891 and NJ. A. in
1895. 1t was his first intention to fol-
low the law, but he soon abandoned
the bar for the stage.
Mr.. Irving made his first appearance
at the Garrick in London in 1891 under
John Hare's management as Lord
Beaufoy in a revival of Robertson's
School" He subsequently appeared
in 1.-THE Fools Paradise" at the Com
edy under Comyn Cars management
and In the title role in Robert Buchan-
ans play, "Dick Sheridan" At this
point in his career he followed the
course of his father and abandoned the
London stage and sought broader op-
portunities in the provinces with Ben
Greet's company While in Mr.. Greets
company he first met Miss Dorothea
Baird. who was tine original Trilby IN
England. They were married In 1896.
Returning to London, Mr.. Irving was
engaged By George Alexander for bis
st. James theater company. where De
remained for five years. In 1902 Mr.
Irving Joined Charles Frohman at the
Duke of York's. Like his rather ana
brother. Mr.. Irving is man OF hne Ut

attractive feature. Edwin Holt as the

Nat Goodwin was cordially welcomed
a few nights ago at the Bijou theater
where he appeared in a farcical play
called THE Genius" made by w. c.
De Mile and Cecil De Mile, imper.
sonating a genial humbug named Jack
Spencer.
The scheme of the play is extrava-
giant, but the mechanism Of it is neat,
and the spirit of it is droll. Spencer is
q sutton foc young woman who Is
fond Of the fine arts, and in order to
commend himself to her favor he pre-
tends to be painter. sculptor and a
composer, employing artists to provide
works that he assures her are Of his
own fabrication.
Betrothal ensues, but the genius
presently finds himself enamored of
another girl, an artists model, and then
it becomes essential to his comfort that
he should escape from his engagement
without confessing his impOsture. Diff
ficulties arise and he is cOmically per
picked, bit eventually he extricates
himself from the embarrassing dilem-
ina.
The incidents are obviously incredl-
ole. but farce has the privilege of lati-
.ude. and the incidents are comic.
Mr.. Goodwin's admirable preserva-
ton of gravity in the character of al
artistic fraud. combined with his glib
mendacity and blandly ingenious de.
meanor. invests his performance with
delightful allurement of mirth.

THE Stolen Story" at the Garden the
alter is hit. The dramatization by
Jesse Lynch Williams Of his story ct
newspaper life in New York has been
we'll received and is a welcome cOntri-
button to the metropolitan boards.
The attracuveness Of the play lies in
its hustle, its vim, its restless enerc'
in short, it's Americanism. Its weak
serious enough to overwhelm the genu-
inely dramatic situations that must
have been evolved from so stirring q
story.
In so far as the play aims to depict
newspaper life it is accurate enough to
deceive the general public and to
please the initiated. The editorial
room and the details connected with the
work Of getting out newspaper were
much nearer the truth than the stage
usually gets. and the atmosphere was
preserved throughout. Dramatic license
excused minor shortcomings.
The situation in the final act where
Billy Woods. the star reporter, absent
mindedly dashes into the Office from
which he has just been discharged and
turns out the beat" of the year, writ
ing against time to accomplish it, is RS
tense as that Of a melodramatic hero
strapped to the track with a fast ex-
press bearing down upon him.
The situation is plausible-indced. it

manner in which Woods dashes off

FIG. I.-CORRECT WAY TO MAKE AN ACCU.
RATE KICK.
They are the long pass, the short, ac-
curate kick and the manner Of catch
ing kicked ball.
First as to the kick, shown in Fig. /.
The ball should be met by the foot
at least three feet from the ground,
because otherwise it might be blocked
by an opponent.
The outstretched instep should hit the
ball square under between the middle
Of the ball and the end. This gives the
bal, a forward spin when 1t hits the
ground, and the ball can be sent on q
low flight
Next, the catching Of kicked ball,
shown in Fig. 2.
Note that the ball is caught below
the chest. to one side, and Is held by
one forearm and the two hands. with
the fingers widely spread. This is the
ideal catch, but. Of course. one cannot
always be judged to land just right.
An invariable rule. however, is to
catch the ball against the body and
with one forearm and two hands. AL
ways get your hands on the tAll, and
do not try, as some buffers do. to catch
the ball with your arms. 1t is general
~ well to have one hand below the
