There's one of Bydney Grundy’s plays that will never see the light in America. It Is his very Iatest, “Slaves of the Ring," that was produced at the Garrick Theatre, London, Dec. 2%. The cables have already told of ite speedy failure, but the play had been read in this coun- try three weeks before It was introduced to the Londoners. Charles Frohman read it, and seturned the manuscript with considerable alacrity—which goes to show that the statement to the effect that American managers wait for the verdict of London before they venture to form an opinion {s all nonsense—ae far as some American managers go at any rate. Mr. Frohman was amused at the amaz- ing stupidity of “Slaves of the Ring” even though he had produced successtully Mr. Grund: ‘Sowing the Win ‘The piece has n aaah 8 and Grundy, who believes that the world is axainst him, and that he never receiv fair treatment, will be 1 furlous than ever, His “New was also rejected by e aithough it is eull runnin, London.

The author takes up his narrative whi nine out of ten pla; wrights leave off—namely at the mar- riage of the hero and the heroine—and the second act is devoted exclusively to jealousy, illness, heartburning and de- apair. There is’ no end to the ple yhen Mr. Grundy gets tired—which oc. curs long after that conviction has been reached by the audience—he simply stops, and the final curtain falls.

Franca Wilson, who is playing in Washington this week, 1s probably not aware that he is dead. He is, though, to the British mind.

The circumstances, however, are extremely otherwise, Mr. Alexan- der had infinite faith in “Guy Domvill Only last Summer, when Charles Fro! man was in London, Alexander said to him proudly, “I shall not dispose of the American rights of Mr. James's play. 1 shall keep, it for myself and do it when 1 go to America, ‘The irony of fate has willed it difterently,, During the comedy bathing eplsode be- tween R.A.

Paul M, Potter will hand the completed adaptation of “Trilby" to Manager A. M. Palmer to-morrow night. Mr. Potter has been working at the play very dllt; gently night and day, and the piece will probably, after all, be produced before the craze of Du Maurier's novel Is dead. It is now nearly decided that W. J. Fer- gugon will play the part of Svengall and Richman that of Taffy, while young Aubrey Boucicault will in all likelihood be cast for the role of Little Billee. Albert Chevalier, the famous coster- singer, wants to come to America next season, A good many managers have suggested bringing him over, but then the horrible thought that Americans might not understand the full signi! cance of the coster song has caused them to change their plans. And now Mr. Chevalier writes that he is anxious to come, and to bring with him the com- any with which he is now touring the English provinces. Nothing has as yet been arranged. Chevaliers songs are well known and liked in this country, and an American coster song (which as droll an. institution a London Bowery tough would be) sprung into existence, ‘hevalier’s latest song, oF Dunno Where 'E Are, is now being sung at the Academy of, Music. It is whispered that E, 8. Willard may not return to this country next season, His season here Is booked from start to finish, but it is sald that Willard has no new plays, at all. Of course, it woulin't do for him to come back with the old repertoire. It will be a pity if we have to do without this admirable and painstaking actor. — -— = AGAIN THE MERRY JOKELETS.
