NONE NAY EMT TOT q a j # TH Eteanor Robson Sprints, Vassar-Like, Through the Role of Juti While Only a Bellewoscore Could Do Justice to Romeo's Poses, UR latest Juliet can finish a one-hundred-yard daeh better than any Juliet previously seen in these parts. Most of her entrances smack of the cinder path. Miss Robson sprints into view with all the spirit of a Vassar track championess breast- | ing the tape under the eyes of the grand stand—at least, I suppose that is what Vasear track championesses do when they are busy—and then @tands panting with a shy, sidelong glance at the referee—I mean, the audience. These athletic demonstrations on the part of the gentle Juliet remain & mystery until one remembers that earlier in the season at the Madison Square Theatre Miss Robson raced barefoot through the part of Audrey. It shows the influence of habit. There {s not much in common between Julict dnd Audrey, but the clnder-path grand-stand finish is not Hghtly to | sum be shaken off. And, in strict confidence, Miss Robson 1s better fitted to wrestle with | House Orchestra and M{me. Audrey than with Jullet.

KYRLE BELLEW'’S Romeo is an adorable creature, all pink sugar, with beautifully moulded legs, and a voice as thrilling as the gurgle of syrup into a glass. As a student of pretty poses Mr. Bellew has no equal. He is a perfect master of plastic effect in his own person. What a soulptor does with clay, She is best in the earlier @ painter with paint, a poet with words, Mr. Bellew does with his own | Bouvier, Mabel Hollins, Jeanne Palmer, limbs and trunk and head, It seems a pity that such an accomplished artist's creations should be ephemeral; that each bewitching pose must vanish forever almost as soon Qs it ig seen, A Bellewoscope for the preservation of the poetry of pose is one of the erying needs of the day, Messrs. Edison, Tesla and Marconi, please attend. a 2 re] a ws wt R. DAN DALY also has the posing gift,but he exercises it in a frankly Mtesany grotesque spirit. Reputed to be something of a wit in private life, it is amazing that Mr. Daly should be content to exploit himself in such a distressingly dull entertainment as “John Henry.” Even the slang, which appears to be its gole bid for laughter, is not cleverly handled. But the Man Who Gets Up and Goes Out is an interesting novelty, see- , Ing that he does not speak a word, and the eloquence of his gyatematic @epartures for the bar depends entirely on his manner and walk. Mr, Pred Clifton exercises this mute eloquence surprisingly well. KATE CAREW. NEW YORK PLAYS IN A NUTSHELL. “FACING THE MUSIC,” ,ANY people have not the time to altend all the plays that come to New M York, but at the same time like to know what such plays are about. For the benefit of such readers The Bvening World publishes the salient features of a few of these plays “in a nutshell.” To-day’s play is: Name—“Facing the Music.” \Author—James Henry Darnley. ‘Theatre—Garrick. Style of Play—Faree-comedy. Place of Action—London. ‘Time—Present. Story—Complications arising from ‘wo married couples, both bearing the name of John Smith, living in the same house, Mrs. John Smith, wife of the curate of Bt. Andrew's, returns to London to the newly rented apartments and gets in the wrong floor. John Smith, an American horse-owner, does not expect his wife home for a week and comes in after a night of dissipating, fearing to face the music at his wife's return. While out he tad helped an actress ‘in distress in Leicester Square, London, and the numerous predica- ments which result, as, from her returning his lost pocketbook, the meeting of the wives and the presence of a detective, furnish material for a lively farce.

A PERIOD OF PROGRESS. OM the panic of 1837 to the consolidation of Brooklyn and adjacent cities into New York City in 1998 is a period full of incident. ‘The elty in the beginning of this period was feeling Its way northward through Greenwich and up the Bowery. Washington Square had been a pauper burying-ground and became a militia drilling field and then a centre of fashion. Hudson Square, with Its tiny shut-in park, like the later Gramercy, was an arstocratic centre far removed from the busier city. The newer rich built homes about the new Grace Church at Broadway and Tenth street, in Waverley place, Astor placa Bond street and East Broadway, In 1842 a ward school system was established and schools were maile entirely free. Property qualifications for voters were abolished, and on Oct, 14 the Croton Aqueduct was formally opened, giving the city its first artificial water supply, save the small and ever inadequate system of the Manhattan Company. The opening of the aqueduct was celebrated by a monster parade of all the municipal, military and civic bodies, In 1853 the first World's Fair was held in tho Crystal Palace in Bryant Park, and in 1856 the site of Central Park was bought for $5,500,000, In 1858 the city celebrated the completion of the Atlantic cable. Steam navigation had brought many notables, and society had taken on a haughtler tone than had obtained in even the days of the English Governors, when the comparative poverty of the people had compelled greater democracy. The Prince of Wates, now Edward VII., came In 1860 and was lavishly enter- tained. Society was centred in lower Fifth avenue then and remained there many years. A financial panic accompauied the beginning of the civil war. It reached its depth in 1864 when gold rose to @ premium of 24 per cent. on July 16. ‘The antl-draft riots of 1803 caused great loss of property and many lives and laid a heavy burden of damages on the municipality. Central Park was placed in the hands ofcommissioners for improvement and they had made some progress, when, in 198, they were charged with the duty of laying out that, portion of the city above One Hundred and Fifty-fitth street, which had bi neglected by earlier commissioners. Andrew H. reen was one of the men charged with this Inter work, and from his recognition of the neces- sity for laying out streets tq meet the llnes drawn on the other side of Harlem River arose the {dea of consolidating the territory about the Island of Manhattan into one great city. Mr. Green developed the idea and fought strenuously until it becamo a fact in 1808, is In this period the city’s aystem of parks was developed, the elevated rallways The | Great Hesper By FRANK Will begin in Monday's Evening World Home Magazine and will end Saturday.
