NOTES OF THE STAGE.

Tim Murphy begins his season Septem-
Der IS at the Grand Opera House, Atlanta
and after a few evenings en- route opens
the season Of the Dauphine Theater
New Orleans. Mr.. Murphy's new comedy
deals with bossism. It is not a political
play, but a case OF pettIcoat rule. The
author is Frank E. Dome, Of Columbus
Ohio.
Nine. Lillian Nordica, who sang the
role OF Isolde, at the Royal Opera, in
Berlin, by royal command. has received
request from the Earl of Lucan. the
owner Of Chapel Isolde. which is located
nine miles south Of Dublin, to sing por-
tons of the music of Tristan and Isolde
there in June, after she finishes her en-
gagement in Berlin 1t will be the an
niversary Of the founding Of the ancient
fortress. Chapel Isolde, as the old castle
is now called, was the original scene
Of the romantic story Of Tristan and
Isolde. and was then located in the King
dom Of Kent, in England.
William Hodge has completed his fourth
season in THE Man from Home" and
has left for his summer home at Cohas-
set, Mass. The feature Of Mr.. Hodges
last season was an unprecedented en-
gagement OF nineteen weeks duration in
Philadelphia. In 1877 performances given
in that city. together with the 552 pre-
viously given in Greater New York, 342
in Chicago and 225 in Boston, make q
phenomenal total OF 1.27s performances in
four cities. AS yet only a triie more
than 200 performances have been given in
other cities, so that the greater part of the
country is still stranger to Mr.. Hodges
Daniel voorhees, Pike. During his next
season, Mr.. Hodge will take The Man
from Home" out to the Pacific Coast
J. Malcolm Dunn has succeeded Shelley
Hull in Seven Sisters" now enjoying a
summers run in Chicago.
Mile. Rosita," in which FRITZ Scheff
has been starring. has finished it's en-
gagement at the Lyric Theater, in Chi
cago. This Victor Herbert opera has
been booked by the Shuberts for a New

Get Rich Quick wailingford" continues
to attract crowded audiences to the
George NJ. Cohan Theater, where the
breezy methods employed by Wallingford
in manipulating his financial operations,
aided and abetted by a new cooling device
that has just been installed laugh-loving
folk find keen enjoyment in an atmos-
phere that is particularly buoyant and
gleeful.
Mile. Dazie, the dancer, has applied for
a patent on an article which, II adopted.
will tend to avert a danger which has
been aggressively decried for some time
by the helpless victims. The article is q
safety hatpin. The hatpin
iiffers little from an ordinary hatpin, ex-
sept that It is shorter, and the point is
threaded like a screw. The second head
'astens on this sharp end after the pin
IS in place, thus sheathing this danger
BUS weapon and preventing It from stick
ng into innocent bystanders. The sec
ond head is easy to adjust and as easy
% remove. The dancer explained her new
invention to a manufacturer, and he has
agreed to put the "Dazie safety hatpin"
On the market on a royalty basis.
