Clara BloodgOod was starring when she committed suicide It has made g very favorable impression and the Little Theatre is crowded every night by audiences which seem to realize that they are seeing the best work Miss George has done since she became a star.
 At the Cort they have finally an- nounced the termination of the re- markable run of Miss Laurette Tay- Tor in Peg O My Heart" In just three weeks the theatre will close for the season and the longest run of recent years will come to an end The most remarkable thing about Peg has been that, in q day when the people who manage the destinies IOf things theatrical claim that the public must have. "a play with punch,' with a few touches of smut and if possible at least couple of white slave victims thrown in, the public has gone to it and loved it and come back to sec 1t again and sweet and wholesome and sent one home with the breath of rose in ones nostl-ils instead of the stench of the bawdy house.
 The great big surprise of the . spring season is Margaret Anglin in Oscar Wildes brilliant comedy. Lady Windemere's Fan" Not only the press; but the entire public has gone crazy over this splendid play and the work of Miss Anglin and her company has made the biggest kind of a hit
 Down at the old Academy of Mu- sic, they are trying the experiment of a stock company with real stars in the leading roles, playing at twenty and thirty cents. So far Marguerite. Clark, Robert Edeson.
 Henry B. Warner and others of their
 calibre have appeared in some of
 their popular successes and the ] famous old theatre that has housed so many brilliant artists and audi ences in the days that have gone by seems to be living the old days over
 again, packed at every performance
 and doing a land office building. 1 "Pinafore'' at the Hippodrome has
 made a big sensation but has only

 Daughter, the Lyric is showing the
 first run of "The Battle of Torre-

 Miss Pickford would draw crowds to , any theatre and the Avenue is going to have a very busy Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Miss Pickford' plays the role made famous by Mrs. Fiske on the legiti- mate stage, and the simple mountain maid fits her winsome personality ! wonderfully. There is no better actress on the screen today than this wonderful young woman and in this l play she will have even better op- ! portunity than she did in Tn the ! Bishops Carriage ..
