" 3 This week: in Montreal, "David Ha' rum" is at the Academy, and Lewis Morrison in 'Faust' at the Francais. Chicago will have a surfeit of musi- cal comedy this summer, five theatres being billed for companies in that line. In the autumn of 1904, Sir Henry Irving, Ellen Terry, Forbes Robertson and Cinrien Hawtrey, from England, will all be playing at the same time in America. . 4 "Lord Strathmore," a dramatiza- tion of the celebrated novel of "Strathmore," from the pen of the fanious author, Ouida; is at the To- ronto Grand this week. Jt is announced that Sir Henry Ir- ving has accepted from Penrhyn Stan- Taus, whose has hitherto been Alung artistiv lines, a oné¢-act play, which he will soon present. Until within the past few years, i rrison controlled his own tions. - Lately be has been un- der the direction' of a _ small syndi- cate. It is understood that he re- ceives $15,000 a season and expenses for acting. While travelling he has a private car. During a performance in London, Eng., of "The Light That Failed," Forbes. Robertson stopped a scene. to rebuke several persons who, seated in one of the boxes, were indulgifig in loud conversation. Mr. Robertson won applause for hid rebuke to the disturbers. After a run of almost four months "Mother Goose," the most successful pantomine produced in London in vears, has been withdrawn from Drury Lane, London, in order to make room for Sir Henry Trving's rehearsals of M. Sardou's "Dante." Irving's pro- duetion 'of this play, it is said, will be upon a stalé of magnificence eclip- sing evervthing- iw the past. "The pew Biblical play, "The Haly City," by -W. B. Hurst, will be pre- sented at the Toronto Princess -- the all next week. The play is writ- fen in blank verse and is the story of Mary Magdalene, varied and amplified the author has seen fit. Many Biblieal characters appeaf in it, but N the purpose of the play. There is more talk in New York of forming a union among chorus and show girls, so that they can prevent unreliable managers from taking girls away on 'the road and then leaving them stranded. But it will be impos- sible to make it a success, for there are so many in all parts of the coun- try who are crazy to be actresses that any manager can get all the girls he wants to join a company. , The Toronto Opera House, recently burned, is to be laced by a new playhouse, costing $75,000, which will be leased by A. J. Small as before. The new theatre will have a larger seating capacity than any other place of amusement in Toronto. It will ac commodate over 2,000 people. August 1st is the date upon which the new theatre is to be ready for occupation. Actors and actresses like apprecia tive and genuine applause just as. do persons in other walks of life. A bit of enco ment spurs them on to do better, while a cold human atmos- phere discourages and depresses. It is not the vulgar applause that is meant however. Some audiences applaud anything and everything, in their greed for more. There is a vast dif ference between vulgar and well-direc ted applause. When the theatrical season ends in Kingston about the middle of May, seventy-five companies will have pro duced at the Grand Opera House. Of this number, one-fifth will have been musical comedies or comic operas. Only a few of the season's productions could be called very inferior, some being basely poor. Most of the pro ductions, however, 'have been of merit. Perhaps the two actors, who will be most remembered, are Martin Harvey and Lewis Morrison. The largest attendance at the King ston Grand Opera House this season was last Thursday, night, when 1,302 people witnessed Lewis Morrison in "Faust." The other largest audiences were: 1,287 at "When Johnny Comes Marching Home; 1,211 at "When We Were Twenty-One;" 1,194 at "The Bonnie Briar Bush:" 1,118 at "The Show Girl; J, 060 at "Florodora,"" and about 1,000 at "The Only Way." This shows that the tastes of the peo- ple incline towards the best produc: tions in yarious lines. The plays pro- 'duced ;at' low prices do not seem to draw at all i A string protest was made they other, dav against the modern French | rau in the.

Irving, 364 Wyndham, Tree, Alexander, Toole and 87 Terry are examples of the system, and a they prosper pretty well at it, though 38 the drawback comes in the fact that 201 the manager is apt to obtrude his 1324 fown personality on' his audiences to a et rather alarming extent, even to hav- 45 ing good gays spoi 80 as to par- 1365 | ade himself in the best part.

Some time after nine o'clock, Wed- nesday night, a thief enteyed the sta- ble owned by John Heeton, who lives near Cataraqui, and took therefrom his best horse, set of light ness and hitching the horse to a canvas cove! market waggon, drove off. A light buggy under an adjacent shed was apparently overlooked. Mr. Heeton learned of his loss ear- Iv Thursday mornine. when he went to his stables to feed his horses. With out loss of time he communicated the particulars to the local police., The thief left no trace of his exit, and there was nothing for the "sleuths of justice" to begin work on. However, at about half past eleven o'clock a telenhone message from Sydenham av prised the chief of police that earlv this morning, Mr. Vanluven, who lives nine miles nogth of Sydenham, had found the horse and harness in his stable. Later on the wagoron was found - hidden in "an adjoining bush, It was also reported that a suspicious character was 'seen loitering in the vicinity, who was . suspected of the theft. Mr. Heeton recognized his roods and chattels from the description given, and at noon started for Harrowsmith bv train, to proceed thence to Mr. Vanluven's farm to recover his pro- perty.

An official of the faculty oifice where all special masriage licenses are issued, said to- day that it is almost certain that Vanderbilt =will be unable to secure a special license. The Archbishop of Canterbury, be said, who must endorse all such li- censes, is greatly opposed to the re marriares of divorcees, and he will un- doubtedly refuse to grant a license to Vanderbilt, unless extraordinary pres: sure is brourht to bear, and even then it is very doubtful if he will comply. Should the archbishon refuse to sien the license the wedding cannot be sol emnized in London or Encland on the dato set, as in the event of no special license being issued My.
