There an several other Important engagements for th coming sejson. pending , which will be mad' ' mown to the public In the near future. Mr. Charles Frohmnn was Interviewed re ently In Now York shortly after his returi rom London and Paris , where he has beei or two months negotiating for new play and making bookings for his American sue nesses. During his conversation he said 'Tho principal part of my work was In plac ng American plays which I control , xmslder my most Important arrangement wa he placing of Augustus Thomas' 'Alabama at the Garrlck theater In London , where I will bo produced by E. S. Willard In Sep ember with several Americans In the casl ncludlng Agnes MUler nnd Jack Mason When John Drew . .Visits London he will pre sent 'The ButterlHes"and Henry Guy Carle ton's new piece.

It was the first to Introduce the nimbi > Ickanlnnles , and 1UJ eOcccSS was so grei that dozens of Imltntbraliave sprung up. As consequence the country will be Hooded wit pickaninny bands. It la little wonder ther are so many actors out of employment. Mi ! ) azey , the author , has made a fortune , an le Is Indifferent to the agonizing appeals c .ho actors. Nothing In the de-ad season of drama ha icen so significant as the slow but sur triumph of Duse , says Nym Crinkle , over th irejudlces of an English public. It Is noi > eglnnlng to dawn on the obtuse Brills ntelUct that there may be an order of his trlonlsm which does not depend for Its e > cellcnco or Its effect upon stage trickery c ieronal exaggeration. The sum .total c Duso's argument Is seen In the growing cor vlctlon that Sara Bernhardt Is not as vera clous or subtle or logical or conscientious a popular acclaim has madeher. .

With the spirit of the English , the temper of his reception may be regarded as a forgone conclusion , nor would seem likely to be any too frigid for his deserts. D'Albert , however. Is not the only self-expatriated musician. The list this class affords In the line of composer nnd executant Is not Inconsiderable. America possesses Its quota. * The musicians com prised are. It Is quite needless to say , those thoroughly Imbued with foreign Influences while studying abroad.
