ST. Louis, March 4. — The openings this week were excellent, even better than the one previous, as the Children of the Ghetto failed to attract, aud the only magnet was the Kendals.

Gaty Pallen. Bijou Theatre What has been the old Lyceum Theatre, 310-312 O'Farrell street, and used for rehearsing and a school of acting, will be turned into a first-class concert hall about March 26. Good vaudeville talent will be engaged. A strong opening card will be Ethel L,ynwood, the contortionist, who has" secured her release from four weeks in the North to open here. M. R. Goldberg and Frank W. Stechan will be the controlling spirits of the new enterprise. Mr. Goldberg is a wellknown business man, and Mr. Stechan is an old-time theatrical man who knows the business. George Elliot The advent of the Maggie MooreRoberts Company in San Francisco has been the opportunity for another San Francisco girl to show her stage talent. Miss Elliot, whose work in The Silence of Dean Maitland created such favorable comment, is, although this was her first appearance at home, a California girl. Her work has been mainly in stock companies in the East and Canada, although she was for a season, two years ago, with Modjeska. Miss Elliot leans toward emotional work, and in that line she will before long win distinct recognition, for she has very much of the temperament that goes to make a successful emotional actress, besides possessing unusual industry and intelligence. No Cooking on the Stage At a recent rehearsal of the Hopkin's Stock Company, Stage Manager Arthur Maclay was approached by one of the actors who had taken exception to one of the new rules of the theatre. "See here, Mac, that new rule is pretty tough on us." "Which one do you mean?" replied the genial villain of the stock. "I mean the one which forbids the members of the company cooking their meals on the stage and sleeping in their dressingroom. There is really no opportunity for a member of a stock company to leave the theatre at all these days. Rehearsal at ten, matinee at two, and the evening performance at eight " The life of the average stock company actor is certainly not strewn with American beauties. — Dyer's Newsletter, St. Louis.
