Il Perhaps this report is joke, but
one thing is certain q baldhead is no
joke to the man who wears it.
"A club Of Daldheads formed in
every city in America would be a
good thing If its members could be
induced to parade hatless, through the
main streets of the city.
The writer would suggest that some
of the members carry banners with
inscriptions Of such a character as to
warn those who still have hair, that
badness is unnecessary; that in near
ly every case 1t is the result of care
lessness.
banners inscribed as follows would
be appropriate:

The time to save the hair is when
you have hair to save"
When we were young the dandruff
germs worked every blessed minute.
They dug our hair out by the roots,
and now we, aren't in it.%
The best banner OF all would be this,

THE DRAMA
The Appearance of the Irish
PLAYERS at Maxine EIIiott's
Theatre.

Complete success accompanied the per
Torrance OF the Irish Players last night.
4 complete surprise attended upon those
who had not seen these players In Dublin
or England or In those suburbs OF New
York which already have been favored BY
the charms of the company In plays quaint
or poetic or naive. plays comic. romantic
or tragic. The surprise came through the
unlikeness OF entertainment TO anything
with which the amusement loving public OF
New York Is familiar; came through
the discovery on the part of this pub
lie that real entertainment genuine
delight arose from a school of acting
and a school Of play writing which are
rot only far removed from the customary
styles Of our stage. but which oppose these
in many particulars. There were two lit
tic comedies In one act each by Lady
Gregory and there was one tragedy in two
acts by T. c. Murray. Lady Gregory's
were Tho Rising Of the Moon" and
Spreading the News" Mr. Murray's
was "Birthright." All these plays
were acted with a simplicity. directness
and sincerity which characterize the
art OF the Irish Players. so admirable
is the work. so novel. so refreshing to all
who understand or care for dramatic art
that the present writer chooses TO defer the
review of the evenings plays and playing
until tomorrow. 1t Is sufficient for the
moment to record the success Of the Irish
Players. In their labors New York has a
treat which will fill the theatre at every
performance. 1t may also be said now that
the best work of these players and their
playwrights is yet to be presented here.
