Full particulars promptly and gladly furnished- ACTI succeeding; day brings notlca of activity on part of the pro ducing; managera, and the prom lea for the coming season la urely mora encouraging; in point of actual undertakings than any for a number of years. Almost all of the stars are to be fitted out with new plays, and some new stara are to be Injected Into the firmament, so that the theaters of the country will offer at the outset a more ex tensive field for choice than In a long time. One thing Is noticeable, and that Is thnt the new plays show little. If any. In clination on part of the authors to assail the questions wjth which the rubllo busying Itself at present. The effort Of Charles Klein to blaie a path for the dls cusslcn of these topics on the stage has not aa yet brought out the host 'ot followers that might have been expected, and the new plays for the most part will deal with themes mora or less hackneyed, but each capable In some way of amusing, or at least diverting. The most prominent feature so far Is the threatened return to farce com edy. In New Tork the spring productions wera all of thla light and Inconsequential stuff, and most of It was received with an enthusiasm that seems to Justify tha managerial acumen that undertook tha venture. The demand for musical comedy hns waned somewhat In tha metropolis, although It Is far from being dead, and the coming season will sea some of the well known faces and figures going through the sarne old stunts under new names. The farce comedy field, though, bids fair to produce some new funmakers, although' It doesn't seam likely that any near methods will be sprung on tha public. This waa indicated by the appearance of Nat Good win In his new piece, "The Genius." It has some very clever caricatures In It; tha three artists being taken almost alive from Iu Maurler, but the Goodwin part Is Just the sort of thing that he ha been doing for lo, these many years. And plain trust requires the statement that he Is doing It nowadays as If he were a. bit weary of always being himself. It Is too bad that his talents cannot be given a rational out let, and that he cannot be allowed to hide the Identity of Nat Goodwin in a character worthy of his mettle. But "The Genius" Is the type of comedy to which the man agerial finger points at present. Balvinl the Younger once sat In his dressing room In the old Boyd theater and kicked his bare heels against the side of a trunk (ha wag playing "A Child of Naples," and looked the part) while ha talked of American Ideas of the drama and tha theater. lie had Just been asked if he did not think the days of fares comedy silliness were about numbered, and If there was not a prospect of the people turning to the theater with more of serious purpose. The audience was about enough to pay for the gas consumed in lighting the theater for the performance, and there was a tinge of bitterness In the tone of the young man whose genius lighted the American stags for so short a time. "The American people want to be amused when they coma to the theater1 he said. "The average mon of affairs In this country has enough of trouble during the day, and he doesn't care par ticularly about going to the theater at night to take up some others' woes. Ha wants to see something that will take his mind off his own carea, that will make him laugh, and will not make him think." This was sixteen years ago, but if Alexander Balvinl were alive today he could still sub scribe to these sentiments. Conditions have not changed In the least, so far as the stage In America Is concerned, unless It be that the tendency to the lighter and merely frivolous things Is mere marked today than It was then. The business Ufa has been Intensified, and the strain that waa im posed on tha man of affairs In, 1890 was rest and sweet repose compared to the hustle ha Is compelled to undergo these days to keep In step with the procession. And the managers know this, too. This Is the chief reason why the real problems of life are not seriously approached by the actor folks. Melodrama, society drama, comedy drama, farce-comedy and musical comedy will prosper and endure, because they aid one in forgetting one's own troubles, but the real drama is not wanted. Ws hava too much of it In real life. try will employ himself with that Instead of with acting. Maude Adams haa completed her phenom enally successful season In "Peter Pan" In New Tork and has gone to her summer place In the C'atskllla, where she will remain until October, when she begins her second year In "Peter pan." It waa hoped that Chicago might be fortunate enough to have her In the Barrie play for a short time be fore her engagement at the Empire theater In New York In December, but It seeins llnston Is likely to be the lurky city. It Is understood that she will begin an engage ment there early In November that she will remain wherever she opens until New York go-ts her Is certain. And that New York will keep her the remainder of the season la similarly probable. Bo "Peter I"an" seems a remote possibility for Chi cago. John rrew la now heading toward London artr a visit to Maples an will return In good season will open at the Empire theater, where he and Margaret Illlnrton will be seen In tha lending roles In Plnero's "His House In Order," which la expected to run there un til Mis Adams returns In December with "Peter Pan." "His House In Order" has been the big success of the Inndon sesson and seems to be another master play from the Plnero pen. Margaret Anglln l said to be rejoicing thst she "does not have to go to Europe this summer. Bhe Is the owner of a whole Island on tha Maine coaat and thither she has gone for her vacation. She will be seen In several plays nxt season, one of which undoubtedly will be "Young Fernald," the oomnljr by Evelyn O. Sutherland and Ueu lah M. Dlx, which she and Henry Miller recently "tried out" in Boston with good success. "The Sabine Woman," by William Vaughn Moody, which Mlis Anglin pro duced here at the Oarrlck, is said to be un dergoing heroio revision at the hands of Its author and of Mr. Miller, and It is not Im probable that Mies Anglln will make soma use of it also next season. Annie Russell la In Maine and there Is studying Shakespeare. Bhe la to be starred next season as Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream" snd doubtless will com mune with the fairy folk In the Maine wood to get pointers on how to do It. David Warfleld closed his season In "The Music Master" after 593 performances in New York and went to Europe. He will re open with the charming play In New York Just for a week to bring Its record up to the 6o mark and then will go "on the road." There Is a rumor that Mr. Belasco will send him direct to the Paclflo coast, but be this as It may, Chicago la to have him and tha Klein success at the Garlrck next winter for several weeks. Otis Bklnner is at Bryn Mawr, Pa., where ho Is said to have a summer home, but that he will visit the wilds of Canada before the heated term la over Is likely. He will con tinue In "The Duel" next season. William Gillette has been to England since the close of his season In "Clarice," but his houseboat, "Aunt Polly," will bo his abiding place for the major portion of the s'ummer. William H. Crane Is abroad, having gone first to Ixmdnn to consult with Charles Frohman about the play hs Is to use next aoason, and then Journeyed on to Germany to Join lira. Crane. He returns In time to open at the Savoy In New York in Septem ber. William Collier and his company are In Australia, where It now Is getting on to ward winter time. They, therefore, hare no excuse for taking a vacation. They will manage to get around to England In time for the cool season there and thus be able to have a winter season about seventy-five weeks long. " Francis Wilson mads a hit In 'The Moun tain Climber" in New York and will con tinue to use tha comedy next season. He Is spending his summer at his country home and It Is said Is writing; not only a book, but a comlo opera. Jr., has recovered from mi Jnnenh Wherlock ,k. ri,.i-r. w M nneratlon and haa gone abroad. Ha will n and In September seen In "Just Out of College" again next lau anu may coiiimu in it -,. imv winter If something better doea not come to hand. Joe Weber la on a haaty trip to Ixmdon looking for material and leading women for his company next season. Marie Dressier, who left the organisation late last season to appear there under the direction of George Edwardes and expects to remain abroad for a year or more. Bam Bernard has been taking the cure at Mount Clemens, but will Join his family as aoon aa physically In good condition, and will spend the summer In the Adlmndacka. Hattle Williams is In London looking over "The little Cherub." In which she Is to be starred In tills country next season. ThS musical comedy has been a success there It Is bv the same authors aa "Tha Girl From Kays." Fay Davis Is abroad on her honeymoon. She will be presented next season in a ported to have declared that during the season of l"7- he will tour In a repertory of no less than fifteen plays, that he wtl. hare a company of 100 people and will re quire over twenty baggage cars to transport his soenery and stage properties.

Henry E. Dlxey la atlil playing In New York, but his going abroad In the fall Is assured, slnoe arramrmenta have -been completed whereby he Is to appear In "The Msn on the Box" In London In November. May Irwin la at her summer place In the Thousand Islands. Bhe Is to have a new play next season, written tor her by George Hobart. Her role is to be that of a society woman who Is fond of bridge whist. Frltsl Scheff la on a visit to Vienna, but soon begins an auto tour through France. Bhe will continue In "Mile. Modiste" an other year. William Faversham has gone to England to Join Mrs. Faversham and the young scion of the house of Faversham. They will summer In Cheddlngford, where they own an estate. . . E.

Physloo Is at present duplicating the original production, which waa so admired for its truthful depiction of college scenes. In San Francisco nothing Is being pushed with more vigor than the reconstruction of the burned theaters. The Orpheum peo- rle were practically all ready to build when he fire overtook their theaters. The new Orpheum will stand at corner of Ellis snd Btelner streets and will be one of the hand somest theater buildings in the west. Bel asco A Mayer will rebuild the Aloasar at the corner of Sutter and Stelner and Gottlob & Marx will rebuild the Columbia at Nan Nees and Sutter. The work on the last named theater Is being pushed with two shifts, and all three firms hope to open next October to the public. One of the most attractive posters that eve heralded the advent of a musical com edy Is that designed for "The Umpire" by Mr. Oscar Caesar, of the Tribune's picture making staff, at the sUgestlon of Mr. Hary ASKin. manager or the play a road tour. e of the "footbal girls" clad In a. yellow sweater and flush ing down the fleld with the' ball under her arm. The figure la so spirited and so alive with motion that the tlnhorna and the rah-rahs can almost be heard coming from the side lines. There has been auch a demand for It that It may possibly be given at one of the souvenir events that are marking the Jong run of "The Umpire" la Chicago. One of the most readable souvenirs sent Clty Offices Mr. W. I Hubbard of the Chlcaao Tribune has prepared the following in. formation concerning the whereabouts of the popular players: Mr. Mansfield haa ramnUM ki. ... and if settled with his family at his sum mer nome in New London, where he re cently haa had built an addition to his house which friends declare Is larger than the house Itself.

The musicians engaged are fine and the Minna Lusa station Is an Ideal v'.ce for a summer program.

Flnck's biography of Edward Grieg la full of In terest for music lovers. In addition Omaha people have a soft spot In their heart if or Mrs. Ella W. Peatle, who wrote It. Her book column In the Chicago Tribune la nearly always a treat. In pass ing, I'd like to know what has become of McCutcheon, and why Tom Brown Is masquerading his place.. Also, why has Nesbtt left and gone to the New Tork Postf I have taken tha Tribune for sev eral yesrs and Ills It Immensely, but these changes are a shock. Tom Brown may be a celebrity In England, but I rather agree with the major and minor man that over here be looks like a gold brick. Neither do 1 plna to go to Europe In an easy chair. Wbst are we coming to. with a stuffed Buster Brown, and all the good old landmarks being switched. But, back to the review la hand: FUtsT BIOQRAPHT IN ENGLISH OT Grieg than by any other muster.' Grieg, of mixed Scotch and Norwegian stock, and of a family whose lines had been for two or three generations asso ciated with the consular service, was a delicate, sensitive child, and not an apt scholar, and he grew to manhood domi nated by ona great passion that of muslo and lighting one persistent foe 111 health. He married his cousin, who resembled him In face and In temperament, who pos sessed, also, a profound enthusiasm for music, who has been the most moving in terpreter of his songs, and with whom he has lived In happiness and community of spirit such aa too few artists know. One child only, who died In babyhood, came to these chlld-deslring parents, and this sorrow has given to their lives Its acuteet touch of poignancy. Living In great seclusion In the far north, these musicians knew at first some thing of poverty, but as Grieg's achieve ments brought recognition from his truly, paternal government, and the production of his muslo In concerts given by him self and otherwise, brought monetary ro turns, the Grlegs built them a charming villa a few mllea from Bergen, on a wooded height above a beautiful lake, and here In the midst of a "garden of roses and Iceland popples" the now venerable com poHcr does his work. Mr. Finck has taken pains to make clear the temperament, the enthusiasm and ec centricities of Grieg, but his chief concern, after all, has been to place the muslo of the great Norwegian where, fie is pro foundly convinced that it belongs. The first encouragement received by Grieg came from Ole Bull, and It came in the morning of Grles's life. Grieg writes: "When he (Ole Bull) heard I had composed, music I had to go to the piano; all my entreaties were In vain. I cannot now understand what Ole Bull could find at that time In my Juvenile pieces. But he was quite serious, and talked quietly to my parents. The matter of their discussion was by no means disagree able to me, for suddenly Ole Bull came to me, shook me In his own way, and said: 'You are to go to Leipzig and become a musician.' Everybody looked at me af fectionately, and 1 understood Just one thing that a good fairy was stroking my cheek, and that I was happy. And my good parents! Not one moment's opposi tion or hesitation; everything waa ar ranged and it seemed to me the most natural thing In the world." Of the music which was the outcome of musical scholarship and Industry plus the heaven gilt of genius Tschaikowsky wrote: "What charm, what Inimitable and rich) musical imagery! What warmth and pas sicn in his intlodlc phrase; what teeming vitality In his harmony; what original and beauty In the turn of his piquant and ingenious modulations and rhythms, and In all the rest what interest, novelty and in dependence !" And Ibsen paid Orleg the perfect compli ment of requesting him to write the music for that composition which the north coun try people regard as Ibsen's masterpiece, "Peer Gynt" music which more than any other one achievement established Grieg's place among the masters. Mr. r inck speaas witn reeling or -ine sonal opinions and comment, and an occas sional gem or poetry Irom Jerry J. Cohan. Ed Dun has been the asoclate editor and "hod carrier" of the publication, but George Cohan haa retained a column each week for hla own personal exploitation. He has made thla simply corruscate. The souvenir number has ten pages, and Is like every thing else the Harris-Cohan combination has done, simply the limit.

Olga Nethersole tells the following inter estlng account of her first public appear ar.ee on any stage: "I had only Just left school and a near relative, who happened to De secretary to a local amateur dramatic club, Invited me to become a member. We studied all winter rehearsing assiduously, in tne early BDrlnx of each vear It waa the custom of the club to offer Its services for the benefit of public charities. We se cured an engagement to appear at one of the largest public lunatic asylums in tha suburbs of London, and I was assigned a part in tne play chosen.

I could hear tha prompter whispering the lines to me, knew them as well as he did,' but try ai would my tongue would not move. I heard my cousin in the wings say angrily, 'This comes of letting d amateurs spoil the business,' and then peremptorily, 'Lower the curtain.'

No one familiar with only those works of his Which are often heard has a right to call me too enthusiastic; hut I am quite willing to be called 'uncritical;' for the older I get the more I become convinced that the alleged critical faculty of our time Is a modern disease, a species of phylloxera, threatening the best works of genius."
