Notes. — The members of "The Millionaire's Wife" com- pany were the guests of the Matt lec Stock Co. at the Warrick, N. Y.,Opera House, on Satur- day, Sept. 7, at the matinee.

Both companies are enjoying good business. Harry It. Vickers writes: "The business of Kirk Brown company since the opening has been phenomenal. At Danbury it was a turn-away at every night performance, and the matinees were very big. At Mlddletown the past week the business, despite the heat, was capacity, and on two nights a complete early sell-out. The press of that city lauded Mr. Brown and his excellent attraction, The Timcs-Prcag paying Mr. Brown a tribute when they devoted a half column editorial on his rendition of 'Othello.' Manager Ma- rauley has surrounded Mr. Brown with the strongest company ever In his support, pro- ducing a series of play successes staged In a manner that this attraction is noted for. If Iho business of die past six weeks Is any Indication of the future. Mr. Brown is due for a big season."
