isnment" has been selected for the open
ing performance. This play has had run
of an entire season at the Academy of
Music, New York. 1t aims to show the
truth of the Biblical prophecy that the

Ing Manhattan company in her play,

Saturday night viii be given Mrs. Fiske's
recent success of her spring engagement
at the Lyceum theater, New York, pillars
of Society,"" by Henrik Ibsen. OF all the
parts created by Mrs. Fiske, she is the
most loved for her totally fascinating por-
trayal of Becky Sharp. William Make
peace Thackerays immortal novel, Van
ity Fair" a compendium of human frivoli-
ties, had been dramatized before, but with
little success. But now, sustained by the
genius of Mrs. Fiske, Langdon Mitchelrs
comedy has become as famous in America
as the book itself. In this season of nonde-
script dramatic effort 1t Is a delightful
anticipation, this turning back the pages
and again to see this most interesting COM
edy 1t is instructive, also, for Becky
SHARP" 10 now a classic OF the American
stage and one Of which we may we'll boast.
When it was first produced Mrs. Fiske
played 1t all too infrequently and her re-
vivals of the play since then have not been
many. Her industrious life rarely permits
her to turn to old triumphs. She is too
ambitious OF new endeavor.
