After the splendid satisfaction

f the most intense and dramatic
lays ever written. Miss Frank-
nfield appeared for forty-four
reeks last season in this piece ,
'laying ' all the large cities with
remenduous success. The role of
lorry Merrick , the Eed hops'
urse , affords Miss Frankenfiold
xcellent opportunity to display
er great emotional work. The
lay opens on the frontier during
tie France-Prussian war , and a
jrrific battle scene occurs during
lis act , when during the fusilade
shell explodes over the roof of
he French cottage , supposed l.\
iiiingG ace Roseberry , a joung 1

A Hint For Youn PIaywrights.
'The yo'uug man wrapped up his re
jected play \vith a rather sad smile.
"Thank you for rending it. " he said ,
"It is the sixth unsuccessful drama I
have written. "
The manager of 117 theaters gave
him iau encouraging pat on the shoul-
'
dcr.
j "Look here , " he said. "I'll tell yon
what you want to do. You want to he-
gin less ambitious. Begin with a one
act curtain raiser. And after you've
wrote this here curtain raiser send it
around with the sentence printed on
the cover , 'You can play this for noth
ing. ' I guarantee 3'ou'll get a hearing
then. Ten to one , by gosh , you'll get
played. "
"A good idea , " murmured the young
man.
"That's what it is , " said the great
manager. "I got it from Sidney Grun-
dy. It's how he began. Ills first plaj *
fvas a curtain raiser , 'A Little
Change. ' lie said on it , Tiny it for
nothing. ' And the Hay market theater
took him up. "
. Spectacles Demoralizing.
A certain Somerset vicar made him
self notorious by the vigor Avith which
in the seventeenth century he inveigh
ed against the use of the newly invent
ed optic glasses , since they perverted
vision and made all things appear in
an unnatural and therefore a false
light. Microscopes and telescopes , with
their array of lenses , he declared to be
impostors , since a man could , , not see
so well with two pairs of spectacles as
with one. Some asserted it to be sinful
to assist the eyes , which were adapted
by Providence to the capacity of the
individual , whether good , bad or indif
ferent. "It Avas argued that society at
large would become demoralized by the
use of spectacles. They would give
one man an unfair advantage over his
fellow and every man an unfair ad
vantage over every woman , who could
not be expected on aesthetic and intel
lectual grounds to adopt the practice. "

tenors. One day during the open and

When the tenor said , "Con ratralate
us. Max ; we have jist leaded the acad
emy for classic operas no candy rot
for us. " the impresario icpiied :
"I wish you great success. But tell
me your proposed repertory. "
To this Adams responded , " 'Antig
one , ' 'Orfeo , ' 'Iphigenia , ' 'Sapho , ' 'Al-
ceste , ' etc. "
Maretzek suavely said : "That is mag-
nilicent. But do me a favor as an old

"Trovatore" once each week in order to
pay salaries. "
This advice was not followed , anil
very soon the academy was again foi
