I was confined to my bed and went be fore the college physicians here who said my case was a new one to them and wanted seven or eight hundred dollars to undertake a cure; the great pain had brought on a rupture, and 1 knew an operation would be death to me on ac count of blood poisoning.

"The Heart of Chicago" a New Melo drama Received It First Production In Chicago Irving- and His Wife Marriage and Death In Daly's Co. HICAGO theater goers have seen "The Pulse of New York" and other plays bearing ana tomical titles; but it was not until Sunday afternoon that they were fiven a glimpse of "The Heart of Chi cago," when they found It in a normal condition. "The Heart of Chicago" Is the latest play from the pen of Lincoln J. Carter, and it began its pulsations on Sunday. The piece is, like Mr. Carter's others, melo dramatic in tone, and is, to a certain extent, original in plot and scenic em bellishment, illustrative of the fact that the author has not lost his cunning In devising novel and striking mechanical effects, and that he is one ,of the best stage producers in this country. The play opens with a dissolution of a firm and a quarrel between the members on the night of the great fire. As the fire began on a Sunday night, it is not ex plained why the firm was doing busi ness, but It affords an opportunity for the introduction of three very effective and realistic views of that memorable night in October, 1871. Twenty-one years are supposed to elapse between the first and the succeeding acts. The guilty partner, who rests in the belief that the fire had wiped out all evi- : dences of his crime, has become a wealthy and influential citizen. But he j ANNIE is not as free as he thinks, as a wit ness of the murder he committed still lives, and justice is satisfied at the end. Without a doubt, "The Heart of Chica go" la the best piece Mr. Carter has contributed to the stage. The story, even if a little complicated, ie told in an interesting and intelligent manner, and is well connected after the first act. The situations and climaxes are brought about in a natural way, and aroused the enthusasm of yesterday's crowds. In the line of scenic and me chanical effects the author has certain ly done himself proud, the railway ef fect alone entitling him to great credit. This Is something never before intro duced on a stage. At first the locomo tive headlight is seen in the far dis tance in the background. It gradually increases in size as the train ap proaches. This continues until the en gine is stopped at the footlights puffllng and full of action. This one effect alone le, it is believed, sufficient to insure the success of the piece. The scenery is all good and well made, the view from the roof of the Masonic Temple and the reproduction of the space bet tween the city and county buildings, looking toward Washington street being most realistic. The cast is capable. There were a few hitches incidental to a first production, but they did not Interfere with the interest of the spectators, who applauded from first to last. It was the biggest Sunday of the season at the Lincoln, and there was an excuse for the happiness of Manager Hutton and Mr. Carter. Chicago Record. Began In the thorn. Annie B. Rich, the actress, was oorn in Cincinnati, Ohio, and made her professional debut as a chorus girl with the Carleton,,, Opera company. After a few seasons she entered the vaudeville ranks, singing descriptive and, motto songs, touring the South and West She met Tom P. Morrisey, now her husband, in California, where they appeared for the first time as a sketch team. Since then they have flayed all of the principal vaudeville 1 and have beet Marriage and Death in Daly'a Company. "Marriage and death," says Hillary Bell, "have decimated Daly's. Some tea years ago the manager sent us picture depicting, as the legend says, 'Augustin Daly reading a new play to his company.' It was, a merry scene then; it is a melancholy menv ory now. Out of all the assemblaga that surrounded the manager scarcely a decade ago but three are left Mrs. Gilbert, Mr. Clarke and Miss Rehan." Charles Fisher, Charles Leclercq, George Parkes, William Moore, Wil liam Wheatleigh and James Lewis are dead. Virginia Drehr, Edith Kingdon and May Fielding are married. ' Others in the group were Fanny Davenport, Clara Morris, Agnes Ethel, Rose Eytlnge, Catherine Lewis, May Irwin, Effle Shannon, Kittle Cheatham, John Drew, Otis Skinner, Willie Collier and Arthur Bourchier. Irving and Ills Wife. One explanation of Sir Henry Irv lng's long separation from his wife is this: "Irving married when he was very young and very poor. He was a junior member of a traveling company, and it was not until his marriage knot had been firmly tied that he discovered how averse to the stage his wife was. She never lost an opportunity to run down the profession, and she made a practice of telling her husband that he would better turn to some other pro fession before it was too late, for he could never make an actor. This sort of thing lasted for several years, and finally the Irvings agreed to live apart John Toole's brother, a great chum of Irving, meanwhile had tried to bring husband and wife together again. The reconciliation took) place on the day of the first performance of "The Bells," Mrs. Irving magnanimously agreed to B. RICH. waive her objections to the theater for once and to witness her husband's per- tomance. It was one of the greatest triumphs ever scored in a London thea ter. It made Irving in a night Direct ly arter the performance, flushed and elated by his triumph, Irving hurried to bis wife s rooms. She was sitting up waiting for him. 'Well,' he exclaim ed, with the enthusiasTOyOf a school boy, 'what did you think of me to-night?' 'What did I think?' remarked hie wife, in a withering tone. 'I thought I had never seen you act so foolish before.' Without another word Irving turned on his heel and left the house. That LINCOLN J. CARTER, was in 1868. Irving has never lived with hi3 wife since, but it is worth noting that two days after the actor was knighted by the queen, his wife's visiting cards read 'Lady Irving.' " Stage Whisper.
