His new play which comes here di-
rect from a three months run in New
York promises to be a genuine novelty.
1t is the product of the brilliant pens
of Booth Harrington and Harry Leon
Wilson and it is described as a realistic
picture of stage life of the present day.
The title, your Humble Servant"
felicitously indicates the nature of the
leading role. Mr.. Skinner will appear as
"a servant of the public a touring
actor who heads one of those itinerant
troupes which visit the small towns
and are never heard of in the big
cities. Lafayette Towers, a nomadic
tragedian, is a cheerful optimiSt, al
ways in good spirits, a perpetual fount
of goOd-humor, blessed with resource
fulness in all vicissitudes that nothing
can daunt. Mr.. Skinner portrays this
role with consummate skill, and his
supporting company under Charles
Frohman's direction is the original
New York organization. Mr.. Skinner
appears at the Grand tonight.
One of the central characters in THE
Top o. TIL World" a merry musical
extravaganza shortly to be seen here,
is MAZDA, a little girl who wants to
grow up-to be a woman over night.
This is the kind of part that keeps

Sir Robert Balls popular book, THE
Story of the Heavens" which Cassell
& Co. have ready in a new edition. Sir
Robert is president of the Royal As
Economical society. HALEY, we know,
estimated in 1882 that. If unmolested, his
comet ought to return in 1857 or 1858.
This prediction" Sir Robert says in
the exhaustive chapter on comets,
was a memorable event in the history
of astronomy. It was the first attempt
to foretel1 the apparition of one of
those mysterious bodies whose visits
seemed guided by no fixed law. HALEY
felt the importance of his announce
ment. He knew that his earthly course
would have run long before the comet
had completed its revolution. and in
language almost touching, the great
astronomer writes: Wherefore il il
should return according to our predic-
ton about the year 175S. impartial pos
terity will not refuse to acknowledge
that it was first discovered by an Eng
ishman.' "
