Busi-ness was as great during the revival of this old chestnut as if it had been a lirs production The hits were made by Mr Morris Maudio Adams Mr Do Belleville null Jeffreys Lewis who was brought onto on-to supplant Miss Armstrong as Zicka The ur Sydney did not like it at ail but she had ti swallow her wrath I think Lewis 4i a little inclined to rant as Zicka despite what tho critics say Admirable actress as she is I do not regard her all a pleasant spectacle on the stage Sho has grown a good deal stouter since you saw her in Salt Lake and what that means leave you to imagine 4 S Mr Royle and Mr Henderson are in New York busily engaged in laying before the managers of the metropolis the excellent excel-lent newspaper notices Our of Darkness received With what success they have

fashion of Salt Lake Edwin M Roylo tho author will return to New York and unless ho can negotiate ne-gotiate with some metropolitan manager will organize a company himself Ho is backed by a wealthy relative The wealthy relative referred to is probably proba-bly Mr Roylos uncle in Denver who was very anxious to have the Salt Lake company com-pany present the play in that city The coming engagement of Alexander Salvini at the Chicago Auditorium in around a-round of romantic plays will be made a special event there and a large number of people will be seen in the productions Manager W

August 26 for New York Dramatic Acit A number of eleven stories are attributed attrib-uted to Barrymore In a recent one he figures pleasantly with Herbert Kelcey who is here with the Lyceum company Mr Kelcey is immaculate in matters of I dress and devotes a great deal of care to retaining the crease down tho front of his I trousers and is quito fastidious in the mnttorof the fit of his coat It has always I al-ways been a matter of difficulty for professional I profes-sional people to retain the shape of their trousers while travelling Mr Kelcey hit upon a plan by which he managed to keep the crease always intact and that was by folding them carefully and placing them between the mattresses of tho bed upon retiring Upon one occasion he had to leave a hotel in the west in a great hurry to catch the train In his haste he forgot his trousers and upon reaching the next station sta-tion ho telegraphed back for them In the mean time Mr Barrymore and his wife had arrived at the same hotel and were assigned to the same room in which Kelcey had left his panties creasing between be-tween the mattresses When tho telegram I arrived Mr Barr more dug them out and sent them on to Kelcey with a bill for the pressing done by Mr and Mrs Barrymore Another story recently told of Barry I more occurred at the Hoffman house in New York While in conversation with I Stool Mackayo and a number of other I wellknown people Mackayo remarked that Barrymoro ought to be the greatest actor I in America but that he never would achieve this ieiTinrtinn until lin had suffered some great personal sorrow To which Barrymoro replied Well why dont you I write a now play M otnin < i Journal |
