Cosmopolitan America.

It is well known that New York Is
the most cosmopolitan city in the
world. says the Mirror. There prob
ably is not race, a nation or a peo-
pie on earth that is not represented
there, while there are at least dozen
COLONIES made up of as many distinct
peoples. Some of these colonies con-
tain enough persons to duplicate re-
spectively the largest cities of the lands
from which they came, while broad
cast throughout the metropolis there
are polyglot localities which vecally
suggest a .BaeeL

tives there. No other city on earth
probably can show such a variety of
peoples with institutions homogeneal
to each. $40 - ISL
While New York has for some time
been accepted as the one city of the
world, as well as the one city of the
continent, thus distinguished, it is
true that there are many other cities
in the United States-as there are in
other countries-that show a great
diversity in population. Yet it has
remained for a theater manager in a
secondary city-Cleveland-to cater
to a cosmopolite population. A new
theater is building in Cleveland to
accommodate what is to be called "a
vaudeville stool: company" This will
he caleld the Peoples theater. and it
will! give two evening performances
one beginning at 1880 and running I'M
til OILS. tho other beginning at $50
and closing. at 11:15. Performances
will be given nthe Jewish. Hungar-
ian, Roumanian and English Ian
guages. Three days of each week will
be devoted to the first two named Ian
guages and three to the two others.
Truly, this is a wonderful country.

TheatricaIs in General.

From the plans of the theatrical
magnates, which have been formu-
lated long since, there is every indica-
ton that. the theatrical season of 1907
1908, throughout the country. will be
a most notable one in the pretentious-
ness of productions and the prosper
business which seems certain to ac-
company them.
In almost every city of consequence
in the country actors and actresses
are rehearsing old plays and new
plays musical, comic, dramatic and
tragic for the season that has already
started in some of the larger cities
and which will be in full blast all over
the land within a week or ten days.
This is true from the far east to the
far west. and in the intermediate ter
ritory. The thousands of men and wo-
men. recruited in the stage army are
preparing for concerted movement
on the public purse. Some of the as
saults will fail utterly and the players
will retreat to their headquarters
some of them by foot paths or along
the railroads ties-to prepare a new
method of attack. 1t is probable, be-
cause of the general prosperous con-
dition of the hoi po1loi throughout the
length and breadth of the land. that
the vast majority of the army will go
through the campaign. If not with
enormous gains in fame and fortune,
forts.
All the more important play pro-
ducers have completed their plans for
the season which is at hand. The
stars have settled in their vehicles.
The near stars have been supplied. So
some idea can be obtained of what the
season has in store for the general
