L. L, on Aug. 2%. Bertrand, who !s old, is wealthy in his own right and fa heir to an immense fortune, repre- @ented by real estate in the centre of New York City. He had been in the Amityville Asylum for several months, wuffering from melancholtu following ex- cessive study of problems in electr cal engineéring, for the pursuit of which he was trying to fit himself. ‘His relatives say they do not belleve he will harm himself, as he did not show any symptom of sulcldal mania up to the time of his escape from his attendant. His only desire was to be them. The dresses of Hattie Williams, Clara Palmer and the other principals are gorgeous, too, and the manager says $35,000 would be a conservative figure to give as the entire cost of all the be- wildering splendor the stage reveals during the play's three acts. ‘The chorus Is one of the hits of the show, Its song "The Class Day College Girl" at the opening of the second act got 2 half-dozen encores. The Rogers Brothers are the same strenuous and successful fun-makers a8 of old. Their disguises thie time begin with their appearance as walters at Claremont, and include football, college professor and college society costumes.

Just before Bertrand escaped he had deen invited by his attendant to play a game of lawn tennis. “All right," sald Bertrand, “Just wait ntil I change my shoes.” ? ‘The wan went Into an ante-room, but Yust at that moment he saw from a win- ‘low a train pulling into th Tampyville.

But he deserves wiil for haviig contrived an ingenious plot, though his humor is Saxon sogginess, His concep- tion of the leading comedy role was a happy invention, for in Prof. Bunn, reciter, parlor entertainer, hypnotist, royal illusionist and general fakir, Jef- ferson De Angels has opportunity to be really funny without resort to buffoon- ery. His lines are not clever, but his In- ventive genius has supplied a wealth of comedy business which fills the place of Gilbertian wit. De Angelis was at his bes: from the moment of his) clever appearance from behind a mask of chorus girls right down centre. He did slelght-of-hand tricks deftly, gave a rapid-fire series of impersonations and developed to the full the vomic possibil- {tles of hia underpinning. He monopo- Mzed all the funmaking, but not to the point of tiresomeness. The music of the opera demanded skilled interpretation, that was well supplied by ,Helena Fredericks, Kate Condon, Edmund Staniey, Gerald Ger- ome and Will T. Carleton. Miss Condon had rather the best of the female roles in the sympathetle part of an Irlsh peasant lass, which she presented with sympathy and a pretty touch of brogue. Miss Fredericks will be remembered a3 Allce Nielson's successor with the Bos- tonlans, She has been abroad for two yea tudying grand opera, but has come back to her first love and will without question take rank with our leading Ught opera prima donnas, The chorus was gowned in a way to delight the eye and satisfy the artistic sense.

Over in a corner of the play Albill I discovered the name of the stage director, He did not share in the many curtain calls last night, but he ix en- titled to a vast share of credit for the success of the performance. “The Emerald Isle’ {s not another “Mikado,” but It ia pretty and plctur- esque.

The play has had a few pre- paratory performances up Connecticut way, is heralded as a_ success. Alice Fisher as' Mrs. Jack Benastar portrays a breezy Western widow, who discomforts the scheming New York relatives of her millionatre husband, The role Is @ald to combine Hoytian satire with May Irwin breeziness.
