The stage { settings were excellent. In detail and as a whole there is much to praise in the production, which is decidedly ef- fective and interesting. The climb for life over a precipitous | cliff on a slender cable is the acme of | stage realism. The interior of the: Fifth Avenue Church is a startling ex- ample of scenic art and regeived well merited applause. Majestic. The theater party of the board of management, Y. M. I, filled the Majes- tic ‘last night to enjoy Justin Huntley ‘as ‘the howor to be the only person who suggests the stage in the. cast. Ther Max Figman is typically delight- ful as the automobiling German Baron and H. 8 Northrup capital as young Dare. Miss Manola is the prettiest of inge- nues and Ruth Allen, aforementioned, a tomboy gem. There are others, all good, but space fails. The settings also are in McCarthy's strong play of the colorless name of “The Proud Prince,” which de- rived its inspiration from Long!ellow'l] “Robert of Sicily.” The play was put | on the stage with the usual care nb-’ servable at this popular place of { amusement, and although the curtain rose a quarter of an hour behind time the early comers were repaid for pa- tient waiting.

The Central Theater has dropped from the high-class drama. Melodrama was on the boards at the popular play- house last night. The Central is itself again, and the change was welcomed by a large audience. The play this week is the “Queen of the Convicts,” a good old money-getting title. The play has a historic value, inas- much as it is a portrayal of the life of the late King Alexander of Servia. The plece is nicely staged and, true to its name, it has an act depleting a con- vict prison. The gallery last night showed its approval by alternately cheering the heroine and hooting the n. nders Stevens as King Alexander L | does what little he has to do in a cred- | itable manner. |is of a high-class order, and as Count Elmer Booth's comedy ca, a young spendthriff, Walter R. Seymour is good. The hit of the even- ing was Edna Archer Crawford, who played the part of Draga, a peasant girl, afterward Queen of Servia. Maric Howe and Georgle Cooper handled their roles well. La California. The Baltimore Beautied company ap- peared at the California Theater last night in a musical hodge-podge, “A Scotch Highball,” and a musical farce, A Busy Night” In both there was ample opportunity for the chorus girls to display their shapely figures. in the olic the Zarrow Trio made a hit in their original bicycle pantomime, which lit- crally brought down the house. Martini and Maximilian are clever illusionists and” na Davenport is one of the best buck-and-wing dancers ever seen in this city. Iddie Armstrong and Bertha Bertrand and Glenroy and Hughes are entertaining. Farewell Gadski Concert, Manager Will Greenbaum has ar- ranged to present Mme. Gadski at a farewell popular concert at the Tivoli Opera-house next Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The public will hafl with pleas- ure the announcement of this extra ap- pearance. The seats will be ready Wednesday morning, ‘February 28, at Sherman, Clay & Co.'s, and the prices will range from $1.50 down to 75 cents. The programme will be most attractive. Mme. Gadski's great arfas will be the one from Verdi's “Alda” and the entire scene from the first act of "Tristan and Isolde.” There will be a group of Ger- man classical songs by Franz Schu- bert, Schumann and Von Weber, and modern songs by Alward, La Forge, Hildach, Strauss, Wolf and Bohm. Only one number will be repeated from the former programmes, and this one— “Beloved, 1t Is Morn"—by special re- . La Forge, the pianist, will be heard in Schumann’'s Romanze in F sharp major, Brahms' Rhapsodie in B minor and a group of his own compo- sitions. Ch=tes. The two Dots, agile and clover acro- bats, and Ruby Jackson, ,a vivacjous serio comic, made their first appear- ances at the Chutes yesterday and made unqualified hits at both perform- ances. Bothwell Browne's Galety Girls, ten in number, assisted by E. Francis Young, presented a new musical ex- travaganza, “The Merry Strikers,” full of catchy songs, sprightly dances and bright speclalties. Mrs.. General Tom Thumb, the famous midget, and her diminutive companions, Count and Baron Magri, continue to be great fa- vorites, and Nellle Montgomery, the sweet singer of illustrated songs, and the animatoscope, showing the latest novelties In moving pictures, completed a capital programme. W. A. Speedy. the daring high diver, takes a hundred- foot plunge into a tank of water every afternoon and evening. The feature of the amateur show on Thursday night will be a home trainer race under the auspices of the Century Wheelmen. RSN Grand Opera-House. The little tots of the Pollard com- pany are meeting all their old friends and making hosts of new ones in “The Belle of New York,” at- the Grand Opera-House this week. These talented children handle the pretty opera much better than some of the adults that have preceded them in the production of the piece in this city.

The opinion also holds that the companies cannot refuse to pro- duce the books and papers which author- ized representatives of the State demand. The ruling covers the same questions that were before Judge Gildersleeve of | the New York Supreme Court regarding | the testimony of H. H. Rogers.

The docu- ments were filed 300 years ago, and ap- parently no one-has seen them since. Lit- erati declare the find the most valuable addition to knowledge of the Hfe of Shakespeare that has been unearthed dur- ing the last thirty-five years. The suit was in regard to certain dwell- ing-houses lying east of the Old Black- & friars Theater, and which Shakespears and his fellow plaintiffs, claiming to own, had restored to them by order of the Lord Chancellor. In speaking of his dis- covery Professor Wallace says: “Of approximately 175 evidences upen which rests the history of the poet's fam- fly life and works, these take their place among that limited class of legal and oth- er official records made between his birth and death and containing the name of Willlam Shakespeare. The only signatures of the poet are in this small list: Once in the will. once in the deed and once in the mortgage of the Blackfriars property. The latter three documents, because of the signatures and the information furnished, are the most valuable of all.” KUHN-LOEB RETIRE FROM RAILROADS Press of Business Causes Them to Withdraw From Direetorates.
