BARTHOLOMAE ATTRACTIONS. The flrst of the season's productions by l-lilllp Bartholomac Is IiIb own farce, "Kiss Me Quick," which was presented at the Shu- ti;rt Theatre, Boston, Aug. 4, with Helen Lowell Id the principal part. The support- ing company Includes: Robert Kelly, Saldlo Harris, Louise Drew. Laura Laird, Emily Callaway, Mary Hastings, Frederic Bantloy, Richard Tuber, J. J. Sambrookc and Edward Kummeron. Beginning wltli the week of Aug. 18, Mr. Bartholoniae will present at the" Lyric The- atre, New York, Joseph Santlcy and his asso- ciates. In the musical comedy of youth, "When Dreams Come True," which has met with favor In Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Bl. Louis and other cities. The book of "When DrenxnB Come Hue" Is from Mr. Bni-tholomnc's pen, wit* score by HTllvIo llcln. In the company wfth Mr. Santley arc: (May Yokes, Marie Flynn, Anna Whcaton, Ann Mooncy, Amelia Bummervllle, Edward Garvlc. Donald Maodonakl, Snronou", l'razer Coulter, Clyde Hunnewell and a chorus- of pretty girls. On iSept. 22 (probably In Philadelphia) Mr. Ilartbolomae will produce "The Bird Cage," an American comedy by Austin Atiums. For tho leading male role Mr. Bartholomao has sent to London, selecting Norman Trevor, for several seasons the prin- cipal associate of Mario Tempest in her various productions. Following thlB production Mr. Bartholo- oine, In association wltb George Broadhurst, will produce a new American mrco called "A Hun for Your Money," by John Goldtng, <7ramntlr,ed from a story. This farce Is writ- ten around a Mexican revolution, which Is postponed In order that the commanding general may attend a horse race In Juarez and bet tbe treasury of tbe budding republic upon an outsider among tho thoroughbreds. Wltb Wm. A. Brady Mr. Bartholomao will eend out bis own comedy, "Little MIbs Brawn," upon Its second tour, with two com- panies, ana he further will retain his leasing Interest with Mr. Brady and Mr. Broadhurst in the Forty-eighth (Street Theatre. On Easter Sunday, at tho Gnrrlck Theatre, Clilcngo, Mr. Itartholomao will produce a spectacular Summer show, devised by him- self. The piece Is to be a review of the sea- son's Chicago successes, and will bo "differ- ent" from the fact that previous reviews In the Culled States hove been based exclusively upon the theatrical season's hits In New York, The Summer period annually has been set aside for Mr. Itartholomac by tho Messrs, Shubort, by reason of tho qulto un- precedented hit scored In their Gurrlck Thea- tre by his "When Dreams Come True." Ho will make his Chicago productions for tho WoBtcru zone alone. a) i » «TANTE" FOR ETHEL D ARRYMORE. Charles Froliman taut week arranged with Ethel Hurry more for her re-appearance In New York, commencing Oct. 27. Miss Barry- more will be seen In the rolo ot -Tantc, lu tho four net comedy of that name by C. Haddon Chambers. Rehearsals for Miss Barrymoro and her company will begin In September; there will be preliminary performances out of town, and then Mlns Barrymorc and tho ploy will come to New York. Although Mr. Chambers has taken a good deal of the novel. "Tnnto," by Anne Douglas Sedgwick, in making the play, he has added practically SB much again. ''Tantc" had a huge success as a novel. Its study of the typically feminine and typically artistic tem- perament obtaining for It a wldo appeal. The principal character Is, of course, Tanto— a mere woman who, with the genius of & great musician and the brilliancy of a con- summate artist, combines the waywardness and arrogance of a spoiled child. | ■'«»» ■ All APPEAL.

Coney Island was visited on Aug. 1 by the worst storm In twenty years, and the island became n veritable Venice, with Surf Avenue- as the Grand Canal. Surf Avenue was flooded way beyond tbe curb line, and rowboats were used to ferry people across It. . Car service was stopped for some time, and the visitors to New York's great breath- ing place wero meanwhile held on the anxious seat. In spite of the flood, which resembled a tidal wave, little damage was done, and the water soon subsided after tbe torrential rain ceased. «»» GROUND BROKEN FOR NEW HOUSE. Ground has been broken for the new Al- cazar Theatre, in Grandvlcw, Can. Maude Leone, of the Empress Theatre, Vancouver, turned first sod on the site of new house and made a fine speech, as did Del.

HENRY GEORGE HIBBERT, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Clipper Bureau, S South Square Gray's Inn, London, XV. C. July 20. Not within the memory of the present writer 'has an American sketch made so Quick and deep an Impression on the London play- foers as "The System" did, at tbe London 'alladlum on Monday. Taylor Granville mast have been a proud man as he stood there bowing his acknowledgment of tbe wild applause as the curtain rose again and again anil again. Before tbe play began a list of tbe slang words employed, with brief explana- tions, was thrown on a screen. This was hardly necessary for we have been well edu- cated here in the ways of the New York police. To tell the truth, we have been rather fed up with police plays, and so It is the more creditable to Taylor Granville to have made such a hit. But "The System" seems to have all the essentials of a succssful sketch. It Is novel. It Is clear and concise, it makeB a direct appeal to human sympathy, and it la finely enacted. Mr. Granville brought over an American company. His own impersonation of Billy Bradley, "The Bel," is lifelike and fascinating. Laura Pier- point plays Ooldle Marshall. The only words of criticism are directed to the rather poor humor ot -the two reporters. Another American act opened at the Lon- don Palladium, that of Gene Hodgkln, with Irene Hammond and a crowd of chorus girls. Mr. Hodgkln opens at the piano, with the girls grouped all around him, and gets to work on a rapid performance of ragtime. Then, with the girls ln turn, he dances. The act Is smartly dressed and vivacious, and seemed to make a hit all right. Fay, tho two Coneys and Fay, a colored ojuartette, also made an Interesting contribution to tho Palladium program. Mary Elizabeth came to London last year, Just to look 'round. While she was ln the city ebe helped Grace Hazard to get married ; and she also put hi a trial week at the Victoria Palace. It was quite a hit, and secured the artist bookings for this year. Mary Elizabeth opened at the Palace Theatre, accordingly, and there Is no doubt that her delightful personality pleased the audience. But there Is a general Impression that the artist "will have to get some newer stories, and change her songs it she Is to make a real bit here. Ethel Greene still holds her place in the Palace program. But pretty well half the entertainment here Is supplied by Pavlowa and her large contingent ot Russian ballet dancers. There Is never a seat to tie had at this house, whereas business has been pretty bad at some of the other big variety theatres of late. Alfred Butt has fallen for the revue, but he declares that the Important spectacular production he has ln hand for the Palace will not be an imitation of any other revue, but something quite different, characteristic, and worthy of the house. We are quite con- tent to take him at bis word. One of our popular newspapers has got hold of May Yohe, who has promised to write a full, true and particular account of her career for publication ln Its columns from day to day till all is told. It has been freely stated that "Hullo I Ragtime" Is ncarlDg an end at the London Hippodrome, bub. such is not the case. Tho management got ln hand a store of attrac- tions against the weakening of the revue, but It stubbornly promises to hold the bill until Christmas, and then another revue by the same authors, on the same lines, will be produced. Meanwhile, the Leoncavallo ex- travaganza, which should have filled the Hippodrome bill about this time, is to be worked off at the Prince of Wales' Theatre. It will be called "Are You There?" The book is by Albert P. de Courville, with as- sistants. The Important parts are to be played by Franklyn Ardell. Billy Arlington and Veronica Brady. Another commodity ln stock at the London Hippodrome Is the one net play which De Courville Induced Sir James Barrle to write for Irene Vanbrugb. This 1b entitled "Half An Hour." They mean to squeeze this into the program, sup- plementary to the revue, immediately. There was a considerable revision of tbe icvue, "Eight Pence a Mile," at the Al- hnmbra last night. Malaguerlta, the Span- ish dancer, was Introduced, but especially a weird fascinating scena, called "The Spider's Web." What looks like a huge spider web, with a surround of foliage, occupies ho stage. It Is fashioned of stout rope. Made u-> In semblance of a spider, Bosettl, the charming Albambra dancer climbs about this. On tho stage dance little flies, fasci- nated and frightened. The spider sets for one, pretty Phyllis Monkman, who is lured to the net, and entangled. It is a fantastic. Interesting composition. A story got Into circulation that a rear- rangement of the Alhambra Is likely. Nothing of the kind. The dual management here works smoothly. What truth there ever was ln the rumor hod application to an- other establishment. ill. G. ICnowles, who has been wandering 'round tho provinces, reached town on Mon- day. (He opened at the outlying Now Cross Empire. He proceeds to the outlying Hack- ney Empire. In due course he reaches the London CoIlBeum and the Victoria Palace. His London engagements will employ him until November. Blanche Storey made a good opening at the London Coliseum on Monday. Jules Jordan advises me of his arrival ln London next week. Sadrcno Storrl, the dancer. Is now featured ln the Opera House revue. Miss Storrl to this season's discovery by Robert Court- neldge, who employed her in "Oh I Oh 1 Det- pbine/' at the Shaftesbury.. The withdrawal of that piece gave the clever girl a holiday, but she returns to Mr. Courtneldge ln the Fall. w'. H. Denny, the comedian, Is home for hla annual holiday. For years his profes- sional interests have been ln America. He returns toward the end of August on tho I'htlaiclpMo, to" rejoin "Tho Blue Bird. On Tuesday, Aug. 5, one hundred and fifty performances will have been placed to the credit of "The Yellow Jacket,' r at the Duke of York's Theatre. Charles Frohman told me, Just before he sailed for New York, that he will not renew his lease of this house. Maud Allan has Just taken a new house at Regents' Park, with a practice room fitted with mirrors for her characteristic work. Her landlords and next-door neighbors ere the members of the Baptist Training College. Lily Lena's bungalow at the riverside village, Thames Dlttoh, has ,been burned down. There is ouite a vaudeville colony Moss JDmplres, Limited, Jointly with the manager of the Cardiff Empire, nave been compelled to pay 1250 to a man who was ejected from the theatre. He hissed a song which he maintained was objectionable. The Judge in the high court expressed the im- portant opinion that a theatre manager in- vited criticism, and that a person merely hissing, with an honest opinion, was within his rights. He certainly must not be ejected violently. . ,.' ., Samuel Lloyd, the agent, so long identi- fied with Glasgow, has been very lu, but Is now. well enough to give some attention to business again. John Glendennlng will discard "The Ros- ary" for a week, at any rate, in order to take part with his wife, Jessie Millward, in the production of "The Lalrd and His Lady," at Chelsea Palace, on Monday week. Alberta Bob will produce his show en- titled '"Way Out West," at the Bedford Music Hall on Monday. ■ Billy Richardson, a famous old time min- strel, died at Liverpool. He wai the stump orator of the Sam Hague troupe, John Bull, a weekly newspaper which fea- tures "exposures," has been called upon to pay Harry Burns, the agent, $450 damages and costs. It charged Burns with not deal- ing fairly by a chorus girl, who proved to tuve been dismissed for drunkenness, after much consideration. Arthur Bonrchler and his wife, Violet Vanbrugb, are understood to receive $5,000 for a trip to Germany. Where they will be filmed In "Macbeth.'' Pavlowa tried an aerial flight at Hendon the other day. When Sir Herbert Tree produces "Joseph end His Brethren" at His Majesty's Theatre, uMaxlne Elliott will play Potlphar's wife. Annie Hughes has secured from the execu- tors of the late Arthur Law. for exploita- tion In Canada and the United States during the Autumn, the necessary rights in "The Country Mouse." Kaymond Roze Is persistency English ln tbe formation of his opera company. He has Just settled with John Pontes for hi?, principal tenor. iSome locations for Monday next are: Mary Elizabeth, Palace Theatre; Ethel Green, Pal- ace Theatre; the Aerial 'Smiths, York Em- pire; Friend nnd Downing, Palace, Reading; Henri de Vrles, Hippodrome, Liverpool; Irene Millar, Empire, Southend ; Four CIo- velly Girls, Hippodrome, Norwich; Scott and Whaley, Hippodrome, Manchester; Tambo nnd Tambo, Pavilion, Liverpool; Taylor Granville, Palladium; Fay.Two Colleys and Fay, London Palladium; Two Britons, Pal- ace, Huddersfield; May Moore Duprez, Em- pire, Birmingham; Glfday and Fox, Hippo- drome, Bristol; Wilson and Waring, Palace, Leicester; Toby Claude, Palace, 'Leicester; R.

'He la to be pictured immediately, n "A Cigarette Maker's Romance." A play, called "The Big Game," by a new writer, Wcntworth Carroll, is to begin the activity of the Autumn at the New olieatre, ln a fortnight. This forces out "Officer 660," but Percy Hutchinson says the revival has been so popular that he thinks he will take another theatre. Frederick Kerr will produce "The Big Game," and Fred Terry's clever boy, Dcnnes NellBoa Terry, will play an Im- portant part therein. Haverhill, Mass. —Pines Park (J.
