Nights in a Barroom" by John f.
Stowe. Its welcome has been Won
derfully cordial one, and the enconi-
ums called forth have not been dupli-
Gated in years. The predictions circu-
lated relative to the failure in store
for moral plays serves to illustrate the
f5ct that the responsibility for the
anemic tone of the theatres has lain
not so much with the public as with
the mistaken notion Of managers as to
what the public really wants The
successful revival seems also to prove
that the Swashbuckling school, with
their routing dramas of alleged his
tory, popular as these have been, do
not with the musical vulgarities that
have passed for comic operas lately,
by any means mOnopOlize public favor
Mr.. Stowe has demonstrated that there
is still in the lump Of theatre goers a
leaven Of appreciation of the Christian
play, and not altogether Of the unin-
structive vulgar class. In affording a
realization Of these encouraging
symptoms Mr. Stowe becomes our
creditor. and we trust that as time
gees on he viii feel that the public is
not ungrateful or unmindful of its
debts. AS manager he has not only
given US truly great production. but
benefited the Christian world to a
great degree by reviving a story that
will assist them in their course. The
company and the production will be
brought to the Grand theatre three
nights starting Feb. To-

This explanation is Oftentimes neceS-
sary in relating the utterances of those
who live and have their being in III
imaginative theatrical world, but Mr..
HOgarty's Veracity has been proved in
the matter of his own age-for he &C
knOwledges being under so years-and
this test would lend positive Credence
TO anything he might feel called upon
to say.
His story is thus:
Il was the business manager of the
Collier tour one season under the diTec-
ton of Mr. Smythe, Golfers former
manager, Smythe was a close business
man. and he was not wasting any
money on fabulous salaries. Among
those who were not bUTdened with
heavy envelOres each week was Louise
Allen, Golfers WIFE.
Willie she said to the comedian
one day. ! don't think I'm getting
money enough I'm making good, and
I think I'm worth a hundred dollars a
week
why don't you see Smythe about
it. Willie suggested. You know he
handles all my business affairs.
= couldn't Mrs. Collier pouted. I
Wouldn't know how To approach him
well. let's rehearee it, Collier
vouchsafed. You go outside and knock
on the door-and I'll be Smythe'
Mrs. Coll er went out into the hall.
took q long breath and knocked.
What is l.? Come in Collier
growled.
Mrs. Collier became embarrassed as
she entered and stammered,
is this Mr.. Smythe?
Collier screwed his face into terri
bic sternness and busted himself writ
ing
"Ts this Mr.. smythe?' Mrs. Collier
tried again.
Yes growled Collier, and what do
you want?'
He gave a perfect imitation Of
Smythe's voice and manner when he
was expecting a touch, and Mrs. Col
lier was quite naturally frightened
Why, Mr., Smythe,' she began, I
came-that is-I-well-'
What is il, madame?' Collier shout
ed grufiy-
Why, Understanding al all
good morning.
Collier laughed at her and said,
That's a bum rehearsal, but it might
develop into a good performance
I can't play the part Mrs. Collier
sighed. Even you frightened me-
And the truth is, she never did get
a raise so long as Smythe was manag-
ing them"

ModIeska's Last Appearance Here.

The local Modjeska testimonial will
bring together an unusually brilliant
social gathering. This great actress ap-
peals especially to those who have trav-
eled, who have read, who have observed
and, above all, to those who have seen
the majority Of the other celebrated
players Of the day. Appreciation of
such talent as Modjeska's depends
largely upon comparison. In truth. it
is after one has seen all the foremost
actors and actresses Of the current time
that he realizes the true quality Of this

that the majority OF those present will
be play-goers of the most refined crit

minute discrimination. It is to such as
semblages that MOdjeska most loves to
play, for then she feels that she has her
audience with her, that she understands
them and that they understand her.
Naturally, sentiment Will have cOnsid-
cradle to do with the gathering Of this
audience. This is TO be MOdjeska'S last
appearance in this city. That fact
alone would secure for her a cordial re-
