Th.o best of the principals seen in tho several New York productions of "The Princo Chap" will accompany Mr. Scott. H Some of the Now York critics think tho title of "The Trincc Chap" does not aptly describe the fascinating qual- J ity of L'dward Peplc's comedy. They think that the title is prosaic. It is f by repnlatiou a play that appeals to overy class of playgoer. The gallery boy. is as much interested as the hypor-Critical hypor-Critical student of the drama. Tho Btory ia offered as a decided novelty, and is said to favor a suspousc in its situations that holds one without the noiso of melodrama.

The girl braves tho gossip of the camp, for she is blameless, and her bravery and goodness finally triumph tri-umph and the play ends happily. The characters in this piece are all drawn with a sure and a deft hand, and the great climax at the close of the third act is handled with uncommon Bpirit and in such a manner as to arouso tho honest interest and tho deepest' sympathy. sympa-thy.
