NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.

New York, April 12.-John Drew
is going to escape from tea cups,
blue pajamas and drawing dilemmas
next season. Johns going to tear off
a few yards Of Shakespeare, from
coast to coast, and in between. He
has played Shakespeare before, and
he can do it again. An elaborate re-
vival of much Ado About Nothing"
is being prepared for him by his good,
kind employer, Charles Frohman. Mr..
Drew is reported to be much pleased.
All reg'ler actors like to play Shake

The Palace is the latest addition
to Manhattan's large family of play
houses. It's vaudeville theater of
unusual size, the seating capacity be-
ing 2,100. 1t has an enterprising man
ager, by name Frank Thompson. He
offered Caruso $4,000 for six nights

and six matinees. The offer is $4,000
a week more than the great tenor
gets at the Metropolitan-he receives
$4,000, a performance, and never
sings more than three times a week
but don't start for New York with
the idea of hearing him at Mr..
Thompson's theater. You won't.
However, there are some other good
acts on the Palace bill.
Francis Wilson is getting his
breath. He has got part of it. 1t is
reported that when he has recovered
all of it, he may go into vaudeville.
Wilson wrote a play called ''The
Spiritualist,'' and John Cort produced
it, with the author in the leading role.
It lasted one week. The things the
critics had to say about Wilson's
work, both his writing and his acting

1.-THE Merry Widow" "Count of Lux

other favorites.
