 'The Girl From Rector's,'' which comes to Jackson's for single per formance this evening, enjoyed the longest run of any production in New York last season. The piece originally opened at Weber's Music Hall simply as a try out" It was the intention of the producer. after it's success had been established. to close the play house and reopen with tThe Girl'' at the commencement of the next thea tr1cal year. The offering, however proved such tremendous sensation months and was still doing capacity business when it was necessary to end the engagement in order to fill out Of town contracts Even the records their productions were the rage of New York were broken by "The Girl From Rector's.'' The work is from the pen of Paul M. Potter, who won world wide fame as the author of 1"Trilby.'' There is every indication that a large audience will be present.
 MISS GRACE GEORGE.
 Tn "A woman's way'' which Grace George brings to Jackson's theatre to-morroy, matinee and evening, the suggestion is that a wife before plung- ing into divorce proceedings, should try to win her husband back from his vagarious tendencies. The husband as the curtain goes up is discovered with an injured arm under an avalanche Of papers. He has been thrown out of his auto while riding with a dashing widow and the papers have already diagnosed the case as one calling for divorce. His wife, however, is too proud to admit herself supplanted and with woman's instinct discovers in her spouse something worth winning back. She decides to invite the widow to dinner party and the complica- t1ons which ensue makes the piece ripple along with sparkle and a zest that is fuh of refreshing wholesome ness as we'll as of exhilaration.
 
 MRS. FISKE.
 Perhaps there is not in America critic of the modern drama more pro- found, analytical and discriminating than James Kumeker, the author of Iconoclasts. He pronounces Mrs Fiske's creation of Nell Sanders in Salvation Nel1' which is to be seen at Jackson's theatre. next Monday evening, "an extraordinary impersona- tion,, and pays this tribute to Harri- son Grey Fiske's staging of the play; 'As for the stage settings, and stage management of acts I and-III, never in all my theatregoing, exb ding over thirty years. have seen stage illusion evoked and maintained as in those two acts. It's true. It parallels any vaunted realism of the Theatre Libre or the new Verismo. I wish Gordon Craig could have seen that bar-room scene or the street scene-the latter like one of George Luke's marvellous studies of the East Side.'' Seats can now be secured.
