Went to hour from and Barry Donnelly, write, bard, Aco. 23. An antior-nianafrr Is by no means the novelty that some people seem to think. It Is at any rate, a rarity. We. Wentworth Carroll Informs us that he took the New Theatre because he did not find ordinary commercially-Inspired managers eager to pro- duce his play, 'The Big Game." Ho adds that he was Induced to write it by the study of "Hamlet" Well, it Is probable the hesi- tant managers, commercially-inspired or not, were right. What "Hamlet" has got to do with the nutter deponent sayctb. not "Hhe Big Game" Is a tiresome, 'unnatural sort of play, with but two characters In whom it is Possible to take- any interest—a dear old rlsh doctor, played by J. D. Beverldge, and an engaging child, played by Eileen Ester, neither of them essential to the story. John Ross, on a big game shooting ex- pedition, was accidentally killed by his bosom friend and companion. Edward Grim- sbaw, a less expert gunner. As be lay dying he confessed to bis friend that besides the Sedate Mrs. Boss, living in Kent with her growing son, Julian, there was a second "Mrs." Ross, young snd pretty, living in London with her baby girl. He commended both "wives" to the care at his friend, whom be Implored also, to keep the secret of bis double life. Ortmsbaw, a solid, silent kind of man, cetalnly did not go about his business very cleverly. He added to bis burden by keeping the fact that Ross bad fallen before his ac- cidental shot a secret, so surrounding the affair with an atmosRbere of mystery which proved most Injurious to his happiness. He married the actual, elderly widow him- self and carefully looked after the pretty Irregular lady in London—which again gave rise to misunderstanding. His worst trouble was with, his stepson, Julian, who hated and distrusted him, and whoso inquisitive in- vestigations resulted in the declaration that— First, Grimahaw waa the murderer of the beloved father; secondly, maintained a mis- tress, in flagrant Infidelity to the misguided mother I Tie cub furthermore fell in love with tho second "Mrs." Ross on his own account The result waa that tUe truth came out Foolish, even Idiotic Grlmahaw was completely vindicated, and the reputation of the dead Ross forever besmirched. The flrst f>lav of the now season is. in short, Impossible n Idea, and amateurish In manipulation. Of tbe second, "The Beggar Girl's Wed- ding," produced at tbe Lyceum on Wed- nesday, not a word need be said. It Is s wild woolly melodrama, of the most pro- nounced Melville type, which the brothers have already done around the suburbs, and on the road. Ella Detford. who made such a auccecs in the Albambra revue "8d. a mllo" ia trying to obtain release from English en- gagements, in order to accept a pressing invitation to Mew York. Lou Inger made bis first English ap- pearance at the Cbeswlck Empire on Mon- aay, where his humorous monologue on War was allowed to be moat Ingenious and tactful. He cornea Into tbe heart of London on Monday, to tbe London Coli- seum. Gaby Oeslys should return to the Palace Theatre a week from Monday. Her act Is promised to be "daring," though Dion Clayton Calthorp, the author, baa not been given that way. It la In three scenes, anil is .entitled, "A la Carte: a Tale of Two Cafes and a Street" Pearl Bnrtl, who has been touring tho provincial variety theatres since ehe left the London Opera House revue, reached town on Monday. She had an enthusiastic wel- come to the London coliseum. Another popular contributor to the program at thle house Is 8aharet • "Within tho Low" has now completed one hundred performances at tho Havmarket end la still going, gslly Marine Elliott, who plays Zulelka. Potl- phar'e wife, In "'Joseph. »nd His Brethren," at His Majesty's, has n beautiful borne at BuBhey, somo twenty miles from London. She thinks the English country life la the ideal life to lead. When Marie Tompcct arrives at tho Play- house, toward tho end of September, she will produce a new play by Henry .Arthur Jones, entitled "Mnry Goes First*; In this Miss Tempest figures ns tho vivacious wife of an caBv going husband. Miss Tempest plans to visit America later on. Dorothy Lane, who has been home rer s holiday, la on her way back to America to ploy Ufi Wllhelmlne, In "The Amnions," for Charles Frobman. George Edwardes did not attend the nnnunl meeting of stockholders In the Gaiety. Ho was replaced by George Dance, also a di- rector, who said the bad year was due to a Hhortsge of business on the Stock Exchange; also to tho competition of the revues. Grace La Rue. her husband (Chandler, by name), and Miss SchlHor. n friend, took a flat at Havoy Mansions. It has been entered IE „ burglars who took $10,000 worth of Eng- lish and American ^noncy and Jcsvelry belong- ing to tho various parties. Louder and Tlch played a golf match for a can of salmon. Tho stake was ridiculous, but tho mntcb, which Lauder just-won, was very serious. ._,_." George A. Birmingham, who la a clergy- man by tho name of Haanay. comes to the States on a lecturing tour. He has written many novels, and one important play, "Gen- eral John Regan." Cody's eon, Leon. Is to .tour, the music balls, giving a shooting.anew for the sup- port of iho family. .... ■ . A Blake Adams, an experienced comedian, died In a norslng home on Sunday. Ha was Worshipful Master of the Drury Lane Lodgo of Free Masons.

Sir Johnston and Lady Forbes-Robertson are at tho golf centre, St Andrews, Just now. They sail for Now York by tho Uaurc- tanla on Sept 20. Anna Pavlowa loft London for Munich, on Saturday. Jack Johnson's engagement to appear at the Metropolitan Music Hall, has rained an outcry. Henry Toacr, chairman of tho di- rectors, says Johnson a act proved popular last tlmo the company engaged him, ana for that reason only bo baa been re-engaged. As for what has happened In tho meantime. It doca not anyway concern the company. The crime of which tho negro waa convicted in America does not happen to be a crime hero. (Mr. Toter Is nothing If not Ingenious. Tho latest belief la that the outcry, In which tho voice of tho Variety Artists' Federation is heard very loud, will prove effective in stop- ping tho show. Sir Hiram Maxim has written a long letter In defense of Johnson, who, ho says, has committed no real crime, but was tbe victim of Chicago politicians. Ho says the negro Is a worthy fellow, living on exemplary terms with his wife. It la stated that a pantomime will bo irv- stalled at tho London Opera Houbo at Cor 1st- maa. Shirley Kellogg will be the heroine of tbe LeoncavaUo-Do Courville extravaganza when it la presently produced at the Prince of Wales' Theatre. Ella Retford has returned to the Albambra revue.

Joa Peterman la working up a sketch, satirical of tho Cinematograph, called "The Movies." Ho will have to explain the mean- ing of that phraso here. Charles D. Cochran la working a great press story about his Uagenbeck Circus, duo at Olympla, at Christmas. Ho advertised for a handsome, courageous woman, willing, for a large salary, to undergo tho scvero training ossenttnl to success as a circus rider. Cochran says there Is no circus personality to-day llko that of Ada Isaacs Menken. Tho letters are cdmlng In by tho hundred. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Chcswlck Emplro was burned out Tho loss is estimated at f 00,000.

Ho says It is his protest •galna tho managerial aystcnt here, which wants an artist to do two or three "turns" •m London hallo, for a salary probably less than be gets for working one hall in the provinces. Mr. Loshwood maintains that this overworks tbe artist and it so re- sets on tbe audience. . "C'est Chic" Is tbe name of tho new French revue to bo seen at tho Middlesex shortly.
