It is saip that a fortnight, or even a longer period, elapses before the suburban and the pro- vincial playgoers learn of tbe success of a new production. Visitors naturally go to the plays they have head about and not to tbe very new attractions. Manv a London inan- ager has, when convinced that bis play Ir good one, run It for weeks at a loas, Just make tbe name known. Considering this waiting until the play-hasmade-a-name-cus- tom, 1 think the above mentioned plays ara attracting a little out of the ordinary. Beerbonm Tree put on at His Msieaty s last Saturday night an English version of Octave Mlrbesu's powerful drama, "Les AI- falrea aont les Affalrea." Tbe play was adapt- ed by Sydney Grundy, and It was produced under the title of "Business Is Business.'' An attempt Is to be made to sell Cralg-y- nos, tbe beautiful home of Madame Pattl^t a price regardlesa of cost or associations. The first attempt proved a fiasco, aa tbe result of a remarkable Incident. On July 17, 1001, the estate was put up for sale, and one man olfered 1250,001), but he withdrew It after a consultation with tbe auctioneer, explaining that be had been carried away by that oin- clnl's eloquence. Cralg-y-nos Is magnificently situated lu the vale of'rawe, one of the moat picturesque parts of Wales. It contains a theatre, an electrically heated conservatory and two billiard rooms.

It may be Interesting to recall to the profeeslon that some years ago, during tbe days of the old Bush Street Theatre, la Snn Kranclsco, M. B. Leavitt was IcBsee there, and Jake Gotlob tbe manager. It was then that most excellent actor, Darld War- fleld, and his friend, George Myers, above mentioned, were ushers at tbe old theatre. Many a star of today humbly began In tbe peanut gallery of a Western playhouse. Myera relates a story of an actor friend , , .V,. who, after years of patient work In small This single Instance Is^nciamplejrjhlf ^^^^^^ g^,,y ,ejched his histrionic goal—a star part. At one of the performances, dur- ing bis first week of starshlp, be purposely arrived late, holding the curtain several minutes beyond tbe regularly appointed time of raising. fine old actor's general manner of carrying himself. What n pattern Is be for some of his younger contemporaries. A story la going the rounds In which De Wolf Hopper (Igurea at the centre. Tbe tall comedian not long ago took a long ride on horBCbnck. That thirsty feeling overtaking him, bo stopped at a country road-house, where he called the waiter to bring him a glnsB of water, which, by the way, Is tald to ho the favorite beverage of the deep lunged singer. Ho took a Bwallow of the aforeaald water, then quickly set It on the table. "What's the matter with that?" he de- manded of the waiter. "Nothing, Sir," replied tbe man. "It's nil right—It's fresh spring water." "Spring tcatcrl" exclaimed Hopper, whose sensitive palate disdained the tepid bever- age, "nothing of the sort; that's good, old fashioned Summer icofcr. Give me, Instead, o big, cool glass of beer." 9 A young Hebrew comedian tells a story on hlniBolf. Possessed of histrionic abilities, and not satlsllcd with the mercantile Ufa which he had been following for a few years, he secured an appointment with the man- ager of a New York vaudeville agency. lie gave an example of his dialect and a specialty which hod been arranged for him, both of which greatly pleased the manager. "Your work Is fair, for an amateur, and you'll Improve," said the latter encouraging- ly. "What salary are you asking' for tbe turn?" ' A friend In the profession told me to oat scvcnty-flve a week," replied the young Ho- brew, "but that leaves a margin for the man- agers to beat me dotcn to about fifty, see?" Murpliy and Francis are a colored team tliiit started out quietly, with little or no ad- vertising. Very recently having been on the programme close to, If not tho first, number, they are now quickly earning their way to- ward ■ better positions. Murphy, In tho opinion of many nmnngers ond all his audi- ences. Is quite the funniest and most natur- ally comic coon ou tho stage, nhllo his wife. Miss Krnncls, makes nn excellent "feeder" for bis ridiculously dry remarks, queer con- tortions and eccentric dancing. There Is no mistake lu nfllrmlng that this tcnm 1b one of this seaaou's vnudovlUo hits. "Though Irish by name, we're coons by nature," grinued Murphy tho olhcr day. .Not long ngo George Myers, the ever stiillliii; and genial treasurer In the San Fran- cisco Orpbcnm box oftlce, gave the writer n number of inughnblc box olllcc anecdotes.

"You're not starting in very well," said the stage manager, caustically, to the new star, "you have only Just acquired your exalted position, and yet you've needlessly held the curtain for twenty minutcB." "Don't permit yourself to be perturbed," calmly said tbe recently elevated actor, "I've been working Juet about twelve years for this very prerogative." 9 Myers, who Is a good story teller, related also the following, which he OTerbsard In tbe Orpheum Annex recently: A performer, who had made a hit with some very fnnoy lines at this popular honse, waa accosted one Saturday night by another vaiidevlilo actor, who was to appear the fol- lowing week, and to whom he was unknown.

"Oh I" exclaimed the plagiarist. In non- chalant manner, "I Juat tossed them off In a few bouri." "Is that BO?" coldly said the originator of them, "well. It took me a week or more to work them out." "Oh," said the other, somewhat taken aback, "are you Will Blank?" "That's me I" ungrammatically, but never- theless emphatically, said tho other.

DLAIR, Whose picture appears on our front page this week, has won lor herself nn enviable po- sition as an emotional actress. Uer work in "Zoza" nnd "Cniullle" shows her to marked advantage, and general praUe has been ac- corded her. Blx years ago Miss Blatr was launched as a star, nna achieved an un- qualKlcd success In "A Lady of Quality," wblcb was followed by two seasons of "Zaia." Miss Ulnlr has also presented with remark- able success, "Camllie," "rarthenla" and "Carmen." This season, under the manago- mcnt of George A.

Aa tbe music hall sketch question Is tbe headline topic in the vaudeville world on this side of tbe water, the address given by Cecil Ralelsb to tbe members of tho 0. P.

At tbe former tbey were on very late, closing the show, I believe, but still tbey took two bows. Owing to their playing two shows at the South London It is Impossible for them to do the Walthamstow show any earlier. They received a couple of dozen of telegrams from friends. Another big concert was given at the Cos- mopolitan Club on Sunday last, under the di- rection of Blanche Sloan and Bert Dorman. Among those who contributed to tbe bill were: James Walthour, Bergeron and Bar- rett Nelson's Newsboys, Ethel Hopkins, Lil- lian Dorees, Edna, Bessie Shelly, Frank Morton, of Morton ond Elliott; Harry l!"^lr- banks, Billy Tucker and a half dozen mort On Friday night of this week the first grand ball and cake walk, under tbe auspices of tbe Cosmopolitan Club, takes places at the Holborn Town Hall.

To give the names would be simply repeating a list of the American actors now In London, and which was given in this letter a fort- night ago. In future I expect to and the place named American Square Instead of Us present title. The Oxford and the Ttvoli are running star bills these days. At the former mai be seen: B. O. Enowles, Veata Tllley, UecrKe Robcy.'Lll Hawthorne, Gus Elen, Harry Uan- dall and Arthur Roberts and company. Id addition to this list of beadllaers there are many others on tbe bill. Practically the same crowd appears at the Tlvoll, with the addition of Will H. Fox, Marie Lloyd and Clark and Hamilton. A few nights ago I saw tbe nine o'clock show at tbe Coliseum. It was opened by the Casino Comedy Four, formerly known as tbe Gotham Comedy Fonr. They entertained for seven or eight minutes with some good sing- ing, and pleased the audience, taking three curtains. There is a great bass In tbe four. I have learned that his name Is Magers. Grals' baboons do some wonderful tbln^ on the wire. The Zanettos, one man and two women, made up to represent Japs, are clever Jugglers with knives, balls, lighted torches and other Jugable thlDgs. The net la lively and goes well. Bella and BIJou, who have been at this bouse for many weeks, are presenting a new sketch, which is excellent. 1 have seen this Engligh team many times, and every time tbey offer something new. It would be well for some of my countrymen to follow suit In this line. Walter Passmore, an old light opera favorite In this city, and company, appear In a burlesque on "Hamlet," which Is rather good and bright In spots. Johnson and Dean are a pleasing feature of the bill. Tbey sing two songs end do some of tbe graceful dancing they are noted for all over tbe world. Their stage appearance Is great and would carry them through even If tbey were not so talented with the voice and the feet It Is a pleasure to bear a coon song sung as It should be sung. One of the most striking features at the Coliseum Is a new scene. In black and white. It Is en- titled "Tbe Princess and the Troubadour," and is finely Interpreted by Winifred Hare, as the troubadour, and Topsy SInden, as tbe princess. There Is also a stage full of as- sistants. Rutland Barrlngton, who was so funny in "Tbe Clngalee," sings two songs of the sea In a fetching way. Tbe last turn I saw on the bill was given by Ollle Young and Brother, and it was well worth waiting for. I have beard so much about these two ma- nipulators of tbe hoops that I was very anxious to see their work. They exceeded my expectations. The large stage of the Coliseum gives them plenty of room, and an attractive stage cloth sets off the act In fine shape. They seem to do about as they please with hoops, and their clever work was applauded again and again. A hit may be put opposite their names. Alice Esty eud the Derby spectacle follow the brothers. Swan and Bambard and tbe Barrows-Lancas- ter Co. are In the six o'clock show. The former have a nice place on the bill, and arc going very well. This was to be expected. If their success In the provinces la any criterion. Tbe latter have been given more time to present their sketch, but not tbe full time they ask for. Business at both shows during tbe past week has been up to the mark. 0. K. Sato and wife, and Charles De Camo and wife, who Is profcsElonaliy known as Esmeralda, leave these shores for America next Saturday. The former Is booked on the Moss & Stoil tour and will return next year to fulfill that time. Mr. De Camo has been away from America a great many years, having played every tour In this country at least three times, and some even more.
