Dramatic Notes

The story of Anne Warner French,
"The Regeneration of Aunt Mary" has
been dramatized. and May Robson will
star in the play.
The amenities of dramatic criticism
grow apace. A play was tried on the
Springfield, Mass, dog lately when one
critic wrote: "Its christening robe
should also serve as it's shroud"
Jerome X. Jerome has dramatized his
sketches of Tommy" and the piece has
been given in Manchester, England.
The play is criticised for its unpleasant
"Ibsenesque'' ending.
In Ernest Hastings stage successes
perhaps the most artistic of them all
was his Jean in "Sapho." Hastings
took his role during the first week the
play was presented by Florence Roberts
at the Alcazar, San Francisco, and
though the fascinating Whittlesey later
assumed the role he did not efface the
memory of the Hastings impersonation
Henry. Clay Barnabee hopes to make
his appearance on the stage again mex
season. His knee took a much longer
time to become timber than was at first
expected would be required.
The regeneration of young man, a
semi i-brutal western miner, through love
for undetermined girl, is the ethical
basis of the play of "The Spoilers,' -
which is to be produced late this month.
The looting of the mines by the corrupt
government officials, which the author
Rex Beach. exposed in series of maya =
zine articles entitled 1.-The Crime of
1900," is the dramatic background of the
story
e. H. Sothern is to have theater of
his own in New York, to be called the
Booth theater. 1t is probable that it
will be made the home of the Sothern-
Marlowe productions, as the joint star
ring of these artists has been highly
successful, both financially and artis-
tically.
Henrietta Crosman's biggest effort
will be made next year, when she will
appear as Christian in a dramatization
of 'Pilgrim's Progress"
Nat Goodwin, who brought his tour
to temporary close in Canada, has
gone to the Hot Springs. Ark, for
fortnight's holiday. Huh!
This dramatic criticism appeared in
the Manner Neueste Nachrichten:
"The Maid of Orleans was born in the
village of Domremy January 6, 1412. On
May 30, 1431, she was burned alive on
the market place of Rouen. and on
October 23, 1906, she was buried in the
theater of Mayence. Requiescat in
pace"
EInel Levy, wire or George Conan,
who left her husbands company in
Cincinnati, has applied for a divorce.
In the spring Miss Crosman and her
company will make a tour of the west,
taking in Denver Salt Lake City, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seat
tie and other parts.
London will erect a statue nf Henry
Irving in some dignified spot in the
central part of the city. Only mem
bers of the theatrical profession will be
allowed to contribute.
Maude Adams is to go on tour after
her New York engagement in "Peter
Pam" and on the conclusion of her
season will go abroad. She will prob
ably appear in Paris.
'Cleo," the play in which Mrs. Leslie
Carter is to appear under her new man
agement, is said to be a new version of
the famous French drama, article Az"
in which Clara Morris won special note
as the heroine Cora. 1t is also an
nounced that Mrs. Carter is to make a
brief tour before taking the piece into
New York, which, freely translated,
means that it is to be tried on various
provincial dogs.
