Of course, they wore not authors then, but now tbey have provided me with n play—a comedy of char- acter—flint will make an altogether new de- parture for me.

An c»- thiiHioKt oays that she Is six feet high and n h fuhny as any two comedians—Which Is pretty good even for Brondwoy." The fiftieth performance or "Antony and Cleopatra" was. celebrated at Ills Majesty's Inst ulglit, and n handsome pictorial souvculr wan given to those present.

At tho Metropolitan- six turns obeyed the ardors of the strikers on Tuesday, and two men from tho musicians and stage hands. 'I here in now a third party taking a band In tho struggle. Up to the present week, the fight has been between the National Alli- ance of Artists, Musicians and Stage Hands, on the one side, and the proprietors, together wllh non-unionists performers, muslcluns und •tw hands, on the other. There has arisen, however, n body of performers In the ranks ot the Variety Artists' Federation who deslro to linve toe strike brought to a close, bo that they may return to work. Members of this body havo bean In frequent communica- tion with the proprietors, wbo refused to dont directly with the Alliance.
