clubs Yesterday and it confirmed later IN the
day by Mr.. O'Neill's manager, Edgar Forrest
eft s true" Mr. Forrest confded that MT
O.Neu will quit the classics at the close OF the
nresent season. Why? Because the people do not
want the plays dealing with old Rome-at least,
New York doesn't. Mr.. O'NeiIl reached this de-
cision by a slow process and. must say decided
rs,uctantv In fact he decided because asked
hin, to do so. His engagement at the Lyric VIII

Roston and the principal cities of the country. As
soon as he has filed all his engagements ne VIII
return TO New York and begin rehearsals OF a

Mr.. Forrest also added that this would be Mr.

for,nances of Monte Cristo." For the final week
op his engagement he has selected Julius Cesar

the character of Marc Antony is the best acting
