One of the most notable events of
the theatrical season will be the en-
gagement of Margaret Anglin at the
Columbia Theater beginning Christmas
night and continuing throughout the
following week, when she will present
Oscar Wilde's brilliant play Lady
WindeTmere's Fan"
Previous to Miss Anglin's revival of
the play in New York last season
where it ran for three months at the
Hudson and Liberty theaters-it had
not been seen in this country since the
heyday of its success, more than twenty
years ago.
Lady windermere's Fan" was the
first OF the society comedies by Oscar
Wilde. and now after a score of years,
it has amply demonstrated that age
cannot wither nor custom stale its in
finite variety" The smart talk of the
late Victorian drawing rooms. polish
ed up for the theater. the nonchalant
satire. the languid cynicism, the fash
ing epigrams-these are the attractions
of Lady Windermere's Fan"
Lady windermere's Fan" is a drama
of the upper social register with
scenes laid in London, and relates to a
domestic skeleton in the closet. 1t is
admirably constructed and plentifully
supplied with tense situations, and
moves steadily, surely and rapidly to
its splendid climax in the third act.
The dialogue is fluent and pungent. In
the chief character. Miss Anglin has a
role which lends itself to. her splendid
talents as an emotional actress. AS
this wayward, but fascinating woman,
she has, from all accounts. added an
other triumph to her long list of sue
cesses which stand out Respondent in
American theatrical history. Her sup
porting company is an organization
embracing many notable players. On

undoubtedly spared no expense in Great

worked for nearly a year preparing every
detail before the actual posing was be-

hearts of the Pythians were Incorporated

N.tion.I-"The Yellow Ticket"

According to Michael Morton. author
of ''The Yellow Ticket" which A. H.
Woods will present at the National The
ater this week, is founded on actual fact.
Mr.. Morton spent year in st. Peters
burg, the scene OF his drama, in order
to absorb the. required local atmosphere.
The theme of the play has to do with
race prejudice in Russia. 1t tells the
story of one Marya Varenka, beauti-
ful young Jewish woman Of reputable
family, who, in order to leave the Pale
of Settlement" IN her native village, to
which she is confined with others Of her
race, Is forced u apply for The Yellow
Ticket" This Isl Russia's official badge
of shame. 1t is the Scarlet Letter of
the Cars domain. Marya is a good girl,
and desires to lead an honest life. TIE
Yellow Ticket takes her to st. Peters,
burg. where her father is dying. He
Is on his way back. from America, meets

What l should like to disclaim In
the intention to indict the government
of Russia, attributed to me by some
American critics. The Yellow Ticket"
can no more be called an indictment of
that country than can within the
Law" which preceded it at the Eltinge
Theater, be said to contain an indict-
ment of America. In both plays actual
conditions of life have been revealed.
1t is for the theater-goer to draw his
own conclusions. The Yellow Ticket"
. has not departed from the actual in de-
Npicting it's most deplorable incident. In
that connection 1 may say that Mons.
MaIinakoff, leader of the Russian Lib
eraI party, recently denounced the
yellow ticket in the Duma as an out
rage upon humanity and a disgrace to
Russia. ! want TO add that far from
cAaggcrating, 1 have actually under
stated the case. The effort to strike at
the Jews and their race through the
desecration of their women is a condi-
tion intoIerable to right-mnded,
right-thinking people-the more intol-
,rable when it is remembered that the
race has produced such men as the
present Lord Chief Justice of England.
Lord Erley of Reading, Mr.. Herbert
SamueIs, present Postmaster General
of England. and those two splendid
Americans. Mr.. Oscar Strauss and Mr

ogue and to initiate its scintillating

logue and to initiate its scintilIating
wit.
In her revival of the famous piece
Miss Anglin has recognized that be-
meath the superficial glitter of an ap-
parent cynicism expressed in paradox
and epigram there is a strong vein OF
sentiment which poured from the
treasure house of the great Irishman's
brain while his life was still sweet
nobled rather than made the subject
for mockery.
And so it was that into Lady Win
dermere's Fan" was poured not only
the focund wit of Oscar Wilde, but
more of tender sentiment than he put
into any other work during his entire
lifetime.
The play was originally produced in
London at st. James Theater in 1892.
The American premiere occurred at
Palmer's Theater (now wallack's) in
February, 1893. The interest in Miss
Anglin's present revival is wide
spread, not only on account of the
value of the play as a stage vehicle.
but also because of the vogue which
the Wilde literature has attained in the
past few years.
While we await the dramatic event
of Miss Anglin's opening performance
on Christmas night we may see the
submarine pictures at the Columbia
with their wealth of instructive infor-
nation, the spectacular film produc-
tion of Damon and Pythias" all week
at the Belasco, the tense Russian melo-
drama at the National, and a special
Christmas spectacle at Polls, to say
nothing of several specially arranged
vaudeville bills for the holiday season.
