people and 10000 blacks, and probably
as many Chinese, who work in the

about 1000. Prices run from so cents
in the gallery to 1925 for the best
seats down stairs. Boxes (there are
eighteen) sell from $15 to $25 each.
There are four bars on the main floor,

and give splendid bills, changing half
the company every three weeks. The
audiences are good and rather partial
to American performers, which tends
to add to the comfort Of the artist and
make him forget that he is appearing
before an audience 10000 miles from
New York. Among other American
acts now playing in South Africa are
Sullivan and Pasquelena, the Bowery
girl and the Newsboy; Tony Wilson and
Heloise, the horizontal bar performers;
and the Amroros Sisters, trapeze per-

it will be better news, if it turns out
that his new play, "The Magic Melo-

a clientele that believes in him. Some
day he will screw his courage up to the

secured an engagement in a second rate

Whiteside is yet finer actor. He ought
to succeed in New York. at any rate.

is strictly modern play-the first such
