In several way the week at the thea-:er thea-:er has been a notable one. Professor Vihn LyenrgiH Slugger Sullivan was h" nil i a -tio'i in the early part of the ;eek. 1 1 o played two nights. I'ro-e.-sor Sullivan can arcely bo called a anieily sketch arl'.sl but nevertheless j is a drawing card. He received an valion. The brawny liosioa boy does tot appear to the sight of the audience" j "Honest Heart and Willing Hands" antil the third act. When the curtain rose, however, in Ike third act and re-ealed re-ealed the powerful form of the mod-urn mod-urn giant clad in the garb of a village nmithy, a perfect hurricane of applause fJonalp of tile Sta);-. S'trnnr lVrujjitii hss scored tho Amer-iciiu Amer-iciiu rights to produce "ivanhoe," bir Arthur Sullivan's new opera. Amelia Clover sailed for Kuropn last week.

Th rumor that Kichard Mansfield is soon to lead Peatriea Cameron, his leading lady, to tho alter it said to have good foundation. Another hutfbaud of the fragile, but talented little lady, has until receutly stood in the way of Buch an event. It is id that Daly will probably secure se-cure Arthur Dacre, whom Mrs. Carter engaged for her support and then droppud for allowed incompetency, to replace John Drew. That ought to have considerable bearintron tho question ques-tion as to Dacre' professional status and ability. Minnie Palnipr has bcn engaged to appear in burlesque at the London (iiiiety theater.

Tho board of trade scene in ' Credit Lorraine" with its bulling of the market mar-ket and panic anil 'change is an unsurpassed unsur-passed piece of biage realism.

"HoncHt Heart and Willing Hands," Profeor Sullivan' play, can scarcely be called a great play. It winds in and around the labyrinth of scheming villains, vil-lains, foiled lover and raping papas. ' After the set-to in the fifth act. the jloud roll by, th! deep-voiced amateur who play the villain i squelched, the lovers are reunited aud married according accord-ing to Loudon pria ring rules and the irchestra play "We've All P.een There before, Many a 'Time Many a Time."
