Abraham dug "the Well of the Oath"
at Beersheba, and from time imme-

OFFER THEATER HERE
TO DETERMINATIONS
Stars Considering Three Year
Proposal of Manager.

i. II. Sothern and Julia Marlowe are
considering the offer of the manage
ment of New York thcatcr in which
they have been invited to reproduce all
of the greatest successes In. which they
have appeared jointly and individually.
The provision made is that they
change the bill every three weeks for
thirty-six weeks and that their manage
ment of the theater continue until their
entire repertoire has been exhausted.
The prices would be reasonable and the
order OF plays would follow that of their
original production.
Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe have
produced separately and together fifty
full financially and several one act plays.
Twenty-three of the successful plays are
classed as masterpieces of dramatic lit
eraturc. Thirteen are Shakespcare's
plays.
No doubt some of Mr.. Sothcrn's earli-
est plays would be out of date after
more than thirty years. Miss Marlowe's
excursions into drama apart from the
classics have been more recent. IL they
decide to accept the offer on the plan
outlined the undertaking would employ
the stars for one hundred and fifty-nine
weeks. or four seasons and fifteen weeks
at the rate OF thirty-six weeks each
season. The proposal involves n large
sum OF money which would be guaran-
teed, n Is announced.

LEIBER AS MACBETH
PLEASES HIS AUDIENCE
Begins Second Shakespearian
Engagement at the Lexington.

Fritz I<eiber. who has attained to the
dignity of those Shakespearean actors
who give an annual season in the me.
tropolis, last night began his second
engagement at the Lexington Theater.
There was every aspect of holiday
occasion about the theater. which was
crowded by an enthusiastic audience of
the admirers which the actor has ap-
parenty been able to acquire during his
brief career as a star. 1t Is probable.
however. that many of them first
learned to admire his art while he was
associated with Robert Mantell.
Mr. Leiber began his present engage
ment with a performance OF Macbeth
which aroused the most cordial approval
from the audience. The actor, who will
be seen in such number of roles that
there will be ample opportunity to do
Justice to his ambitions and HIS achieve
ments. Is fortunate in having among
his associates Miss Olive Oliver, long
associated with Richard Mansfield and
other well known American actors. Last
night the role of Lady Mdobetk fell to
her.
Other members of the large company
are John Burke, Frank Howard, Louis
Leon Hall. Caroline Kohl and Justin
Adams. Hamlet" will be the bill to-
night. with Romeo and Juliet" at the
Wednesday matinee and on Thursday.
