"'lhe Gordlan I\not," described as an orlg- Innl play, In throe acts, by Cluudo Ix»wtber, was produced last Wednesday night at Ills Mujnsty'a Tbcutre. Mr. Ix>wthcr Is a member of the House of Commons, where be sits on the Government side, and the premier of Ids play brought forth a particularly d's- tlngulshcd nunlcnce. The play had a par- ticularly distinguished cast, hut was not it- self a particularly distinguished play. In- deed, it Is composed of such poor, weak stuff that It can only be n mnttcr of days before Mr. Tree llnds It advisable to withdraw it from the public gasie. There Is little plot, but cndlesB yards of would-be-smart con- versation. A wealthy young Parisian diplo- mat has become Infatuated with a beautiful but heartless courtesan nnd art reus, who draws idiu closer and closer Into her tolls, ills great friend, n somewhat demented hiinehliuck, attempts to save him, first by ap- peals to his better nature, then by wurnlngs, followed by threats, to Ida mistress. Ills attempts aro without avail. The shameless courtesan derides tho hunchback and nslts Ii I in to Invent for her u novel death for the new part she Is about to play. Tho hunch- buck. In vengeful frenzy, docs her mocking bidding by •trnngllng her with tho loosened strands of her own hulr. It Is thus Hint he cuts the gordlan knot which he fulled to untie. This horrible situation ends this modern society drama. These three charac- ters sustain whatever action there Is In the play; the rest arc the merest shadows. Mr. Tree, as tho hunchback, Roger Martens, did all that wna possible with tho melodramatic purl provided for him. (Jlgn Methersolo por- trayed tbo wicked heroine. She gnvo the full value to her braxen blandishments, but there waa an air of urtlllclnllly about her folln- Itlcs and forced caresses. Indeed, this lypn of woman bad already been presented to .is In "The Worst Woman In London," at the Adolphl, In Mr. Melville's unlntontlonully funny melodrama. Robert Taylor, as tho r.nhunpy lover, worked hard, and Infused a certain amount of distinction Into tho part, 'the staging of the pluy was all that could be asked fur; Indeed, much worthy effort wuu wasted on nn unworthy piece. On Saturday night Kllcn Terry revived "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Imperial. Her Impersonation of Beatrice Is known all the world over to her admirers, and It Is enough to snv that It has nil Its old time charm and atlractlvancss. The chief uovel- tles of the revival were the uppearsneo of Oscar Aschc, as Uenedlk, and the scenery and stage setting of Gordon Craig. Mr. Auche has hitherto made bis mark In heavier parts than tbnt of Uenedlk, and In truth Le made ii massive gallant. And yet ho was n gallant, so tbo end was served. Mr. Craig's Btage design's are odd, but effective when one gets used to them, und many of bis continues are beautiful. Charles Frohmun has been making his final arrongcmcntB for his Autumn produc- tions. At tho I'use of York's tho pro- gnjiiuue will consist of Ml'. Plnero's long expected new pln.v, la which the chtuf parts will be played by lrono Vuubrugh, Nancy Price, Dion Bouclcault and II. B. Irving. At tho. Criterion Mr. Esmond's play, "Im- prudence," which you have already seen In America, will be produced on Sept. 1. '"Ibe Illlllonulre" comes to London, and will be given ut somo theatre not yet decided upon, under the Joint management of Mr. Froh- iiiiin and George EdwnrdOB. After tbo hundredth perforinnnco of "Whitewashing Julia" on Sutudny night the run of the piece Is to bo suspended to allow Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bonrcbler to take u rest. Tho Gurrlck Theatre will then be oc- cupied for a season by French companies, one beaded by Madame Grnnlcr, the other by Madanic UeJuiic. Mr. Bouchlcr, on bis return In the Autumn, will produce us his first novelty Haddou Chambers' new play, originally called-"A Great Lady," but I hat title being, already taken, now renamed '"lho Golden Hlleticu." , «I_u_ ■. Martin Harvey's stay at tho Royalty Is drawing to a close. He took the bouse only for a period of six weeks, and although'Tbo Exile" Is drawing good business Mr. Harvey Intends to close Its run at the end of his tenancy, He will then take u short holiday and In* the middle of August will start lih provincial tour before again leaving Eng- land for tho United Slates and Canada.

Wilson Barrett calls bis new play by the apiiroilmate date on which be will produce Jf *t the Royal Theatre, Mlddlesbotouitn, "In the Middle of June." The title, however, n really derived from the motto taken for bis piece, "For love's more In tune In the middle of June than when daffodils blow In the siirlngtlme." In tho eait will be found Mr. Barrett, Messes. Ambrose Manning, J. W. Porrlval, und Lilian McCarthy.- Another play,, by II. V. Esmond, called "tools of Fortune," will be produced In 1/ui- dou In the Autumn. The chief ports will be taken by Julia Marlowe, Beverley Sit- greaves and Frank Worthing. Lawrence Irving, Sir Henry Irving's second son, was married a week ago to Mabel Hack- ney, who has been for some time a member of Sir Henry Irving's company. "In Dahomey" Is now playing to capacity business, despite-the fact that the weather is uncomfortably hot. 1 This week the man- agement has derided -to supplement the usual Saturday matinee with a series of special matinees. Nome further new material Is to be Introduced thla week, and now that Wil- liams and Walker and their company have bad nn opiwrtunlty of discovering the tastes of their patrons, they aro able to please them every, moment of their show. I hoar tbat Mr, llurtlg has received several offers to take lho company to Franco and Germany when it has finished Its senson In London. Monday next being Whit. Monday, n good iiiimy ■ new features are advertised by the leading variety houses. Chief est In the way of n sensation Is the performance culled "Hooping the Hoop," In which a young lady loops the loop In 11 motor car. The track is an almost perfect circle, lilted with en- trance nnd exit doors. The young lady who Is to perform the daring.feat Is Mens -Mix. Eddie Girt'ord. I understand, Is tbo deslgucr und manager of the hoop. Another sensational net nronilse<I by the Hippodrome for next week Is the Roblnsou- llnker Trio, In „«n entirely ucsr net, en- titled "Killing Heeled Jack." Judging by the accounts I have heard of It, thla uct Is cetnlnly tho most elaborate presentation of an athletic or Jumping specialty ever at- tempted. Leon Morris nnd his ponies also como to (lie lllpnodrouie next week. The King's Theatre, Wnlthnmstow, Is to be turned Into a music hall this Hummer, under the direction of John Lnwson, of "Humanity" and "Snlly In our Alley" fame. R. G.

Ho has played this bouse frequently, and Is alwuys sure of 11 welcome on his return. On the same hill aro Les Frasertls. At lho I lxford. Mlddloborough, are tbc Fimicys, swimming oxperts.
