! Crawford Flexner, the author of the
delightful comedy, has cast all her
disgruntled married people on u
yacht and introduces Unexpectedly
into their midst an unknown and very
beautiful lady. brought there sur
reptitiously by one Of the husbands.
The lady has to explain her pres
ence to the wives. The husbands are
all frankly interested in her and the
rest of the play centres in the charm
ing lady herself There are many
episodes that are deliciously funny.
The humor Is contagious and the dia-
logue snappy and worth chronicllng.
IF you've q wife that everybody
wants. it's hard to keep her; IL you've
wife that nobody wants, it's hard
to lose her. What a woman doesn't
know she suspects. If there were no
women In the world what would be-
come of menu" somebody asks,
eff there were no women in the
world, men would be scarcer. but they

Chauncey Olcott will be seen in .
new play when he comes to the New
ark Theatre the week of october IL.
Under the direction of Henry Miller
this favorite player of Irish comedy
and romance will have Rachel Croth-
ers's comedy, 1.-THE Heart of Paddy
Whaek," for his new vehicle. So
strong an impression has the new
play made that Henry Miller plans
TO present Mr.. Olcott in 1t in New
York within a few weeks. The
Heart of Paddy Whack' is said to
be a rollicking comedy of sentiment,
with Its scenes laid in old Ireland In
1890 Mr.. Olcott will as usual have
an elaborate scenic production. and
promises a half dozen new songs also.
A new lineup in the operate situa-
ton in New York was made known
yesterday, when it was announced
that the Century Opera Company
would break off Its season here dur
| ing the coming week in which the
Metropolitan Opera House opens and
would go to Chicago for eight weeks,
and later to Boston and Philadelphia,
/ returning here for the remainder of
| it's season in the spring. This Will
mean that, contrary to the prospects
at the opening of the season and ufl-
| like last year, there will be only one
house in Manhattan, at which opera
| is being performed at any given
! time.
This change in the Century plans
will also necessitate change in the
repertoire for the local fall season
after next weeks "Lohengrin."
The last performance of the Cen
| tury's present season will occur on
| Saturday evening, November Il. The
Metropolitan Opera House is sched-
uled to open on Monday evening, No
vember &c. so that the respective sea-
sons will overlap only to the extent
that the opening week of one VIII
be the closing week Of the other.
There are between 1,4O0 and 1900
persons actually engaged in the stage
presentation of WARS of the World
at the Hlppodrome in New York.
The Hippodrome accounting depart
ment is a marvel in itself, and after
the count up" of every performance
1.-THE receipts can be compared at a
glance with the corresponding per-
| Torrance every year since the house
has been opened. 1t is an almost uni
versaI theory that stage art cannot
be restricted by business conventions.
but here is an institution that by viz
tue of its magnitude is compelled TO
adopt the system of the bank or in
surance company.
The Garrick Dramatic Club will
present "The Conqueror, drama, on
the evening of October q, at the
Kruger Auditorium. It is a three
act play and was written by William
Schneider Jr., the Garrick Clubs
coach.
Billy Howard, of Harrison,
| favorably known to Newarkers who
saw him last season in Seven Komi-
cal Kids" goes to Hamburg, Pa, to-
day to join Isowery Brothers
