DANGEROUS tendency to monologue. II is
hard to believe that this production could
have won the exceptional favor 1t enjoyed
In New York city, with the principal fem
mime characters performed as they now
are. The little girl In the first act is really
the star of the collection. She awakens in
the auditors mind something of the same
paternal solicltude which inspired the
Prince Chap She is worth preserving to
the stage and to humanity. The effects of
slight cold which she betrayed caused
apprehension. The Messrs. Shubert should
not permit her, even for the sake of art, to
go about the bare floor with naked feet. 1t

insisted on 1t may be necessary to transfer
her to one of Mr.. Thomas medical dramas

chitis or something equally distressing.
That agile young performer, Mr.. George
Conan, is developing grave symptoms of

These comments indicate spirit of caustic
disapproval unworthy of a young gentle
man who has had things SO much his own
way. Perhaps it is hereditary, for in the
same issue appears poem by his father,
Mr.. Jerry ]. Conan, of which the following
is a stanza:
As an honest critic / must let
Fool actors know that they cannot act,
Anf managers, idiots, they should get
Some others to manage them, and yet
cannot be bought, unless with tact.
What would you do, may | inquire,
IL knew not what you wrote about,
And had TO fill space, would you aspire
To literary truths or higher,
TIL some boss typo fired ysu outf
No! make folks think you re truthful liar!
Its exact purport is not clear, but 1t is
evident that the poet is displeased about
something. This alone suffices to awaken a
sad response In the readers bosom. No
body wants the Cohans displeased. They
are jolly. useful people, and the world
seems different when they moult and re-
pine. Their press agent should take father
Jerry and son George In some quiet nook
on dear old Broadway and labor with them.
Take heart, Jerry! Cheer up, George! 1t
may not all be true.
