has been the most brilliant engagement
ever played by this charming actress in
this city. There has not been one vacant
seat at any performance of Rostand' S

best business: The Pink Lady at the
New Amsterdam. Christie Macdonald in
The Spring Maid at the Liberty, Lew
Fields in THE Hen-Pecks" at the Broad
way. William Gillette at the Empire,
"Pomander Walk at Wallacks, and
The Deep Purple" at the Lyric. In the
latter play. which looks good for a run
until June. John Emerson has assumed
the role of Harry Leland, the badger
man. formerly acted by Jameson Lee
FInney. Mr.. Emerson is a good actor
and plays the part in fine style. Manager
Charles Burnham, of Wallack's. sends
word that 'Pomander Walk which has
been on view so long at this theater. will
be continued indefinitely. He says:
Business is tiptop.''

announces that for William GilIette's
