NEW YORK LETTER

NEW YORK, Feb. o.. - And
now New York is to have It's
theaters of horrors, just like
Paris.
Like the Grand Guignol of
Paree, it is to be a very small
house. 1t will be called the
Princess, and it will have 800
seats, just one more than Win
throp Ames' Little theater.
BY the addition of this one
seat the playhouse is brought
under the operation of the ordi-
nances relating to theaters. By
evading these laws, Ames said
he saved money on fire escapes,
and in one or two other ways,
but the hackers of the Princess
evidently value round numbers
above all such petty considera-
tions.
F. Ray Comstock, once of
Cleveland, and now the partner
of Morris Gest in various theatre
cal enterprises, is building the
Princess, and it will be operat-
ed by William A. Brady, Archie
Selwyn and the Shuberts. 1t is
in 39th street, between Broadway
and Sixth avenue, in a Block
which already has two theaters-
Maxine EIliott's and the Thirty
ninth Street.
A nice cheerful opening play
let has been picked for the first
bill, which will be presented
about March 1. 1t is lie Grand
Mort" (The Great Death), which
ran for 800 performances at the
Grand Guignol. An epidemic of
cholera in Africa furnishes the
background of this happy little
drama, and the principal charac-
ter is an army officer who,
through sheer fear of the dis
ease succumbs to it and dies.
Holbrook Blinn will enact the
leading part. Blinn has been
appointed general stage director
! of the theater, and will star in
at least one play in each bill
presented.
Another feature of the open
ing week will be a very decided
sensation. 1t is a sketch entitled
ANY Night" written by Edward
Ellis, and presented at a recent
gambol of the Lambs club. A
street walker accosts an old man
and they go to a hotel. A fire
breaks out, and other guests
come through their room to
reach a fire escape. Among them
] is the old mans daughter, who
has come to the place with a
young chap. All escape except
the father and daughter. Each

Truth is stranger than fiction and the views in these news films surp in. interest and thrill the productions of the most versatile stage manager. Home, Sweet Home is a beautiful story, full of parthos. It's the kind of a story that works straight into your heart and leaves your eyes misty. John Barbour and his wife being well-to-do, did not like seeing Pa and Mn Barbour living in humble cottage in the coun- try with old traps while they were en- loving a luxurious mansion. So they dAsmantle the old folks home and send the sticks to the secondhand shop. Pa and Ma, tried to enjoy the new atmos- phere. but it was not the old home and they were caught by stealth buying the old furniture back. John and Nell saw their mistake and, in giving in, restored the village cottage just as be- fore, with only onS addition.

It is exceedingly seldom that 8 man is jealous of some other fellows soulful" eyes or romantic manner. Such petty ideas are for the most part considered too petty indeed for his grandd1oQuent nature.
 That Is Fuss. Fuss does not waste her time in wishing she has black fur if she happens to be maltese. She stretches herself, puts out her little pink tongue and proceeds to groom her grey fur. When that is done, she comes to you and rubs against your skirt to call attention to the fact. On the other hand, woman is con tinuaily worrying as to whether or not her coiffure is as becoming as that of her dearest friend She wonders if her new tailored suit will fit as well and is greatly worried because in some small point she is, perhaps, inferior to her neighbor.
 That is the dog.

(Connecticut Western NeWs.)
 This is the story Of a cat that was to Lake Chatfemac, in the Adiron- dack mountains and found its way back, distance of 180 miles through miles and miles of woods, through a half dozen cities and 40 towns and famlets, arriving at its home late at night just 12 days after it's depart ure, 'bedraggIed, wfId-eyed, frightened, thin and starved almost to death.
 It was the FarnuTn drug store cat, a sleek, friendly and affectfonate mal- tese tabby that makes friends with every person who enters the store. Dr. Ross took a great liking to the cat and MT. F7arnun offered to give him the animal if he would take it away and keep it. pr Ross accepted the offer and said 1t would make a good eat for the Chatiernac club, to which he belongs, in the Adirondacks. Accordingly when he started four weeks ago for the Adirondacks in his automobile he took the cat along, and nothing more was thought of it here until just 12 days later, when one night as MT. Farnum was about to close up the drug store, he discovered the cat outside the door, which ran away when he tried to reach it, but finally allowed itself to be coaxed inside It was in a pitiable condition, utterly exhausted and half wild. A saucer of milk was set before 1t and food procured, which it ate as ravenously as if it had not tasted a nnorseI since it was taken away.
