It is strange that we English Bhould
have been such a long time finding out
the lieauties of Marienbail. You Amer
icans did this Ion ago, but we seem to
have waited until tho sunshiceiof roy
alty opened our B'eepy eyes. But now
we have been vainly trying to s;cure
rooms that is to say, the unready ones
among us who left our arrangements
til the last minute. The Prince has the
rooms at Winger's hotel, which were va
cated just in time for him by the Duke
nd Duchess of Newcastle. His fellow
occupants of the hotel are the Duchess
de la Rochefoucauld, Lord and Lady
Brougham and Vaux. Lady Clarke and
Sir Henry and Lady Campbell Banner
man. The Duchess of Fife is a recent
arrival. I hear that the Prince has
caused much amazement among the
foreigners by his disregard of weather.
Every morning, at 7:15, he tallies forth
for a walk of an Hour and a hair, during
which he pauses now and then to sip
his allotted dose of "Kreuzbrunnen" out
of a glass tube. As on one or two re
cent mornings it has eijiply "rained cats
and dogs," bis conduct has been regard
ed as heroic. During his con titutional
tie chats with various friends, but Emart
Lady Brougham is his favorite. She
weas the bright colors for which she is
renowned, and which sjit her so well;
and, indeed, she looks so young that it
is quite difficult to remember that she
baa a married daughter and son. The
Prince will get some fine stag hunting at
Prince Metternich'e.
A giil friend tends me word from
Dublin that ''the Prince and Princess"
as the Irish ladies will call the Duke and
Duchess of York are it ally enjoying
their visit, if their beaming faces are
any index to their feelings. The Duch-
s has been very successful as regards
her costumes. -Of course it is "the
thing" for the vice reine to wear green
or St. Patrick's blue, adorned with Irish
lace, on all prominent occasions, and
naturally a royal lady would be expect
ed to follow suit, but "Princess May"
has done more; she has even contrived
to be original, whereas the result of
patriotic dressing is usua'ly mo3t mo
notonous. When she arrived she had a
"duck' of a pale green Bilk frock, with a
bodice of ivory lawn the new white
grass lawn embroidered with gold; on
toe occasion of the investiture of her
husband with the Order of St Patrick,
a most picturesque ceremony,-by the
way, she was in white satn and price
less Irish lace, while at the Dublin
horse show she wore plain green muslin
trimmed with Irish lace of a yellow
toce, and caught up on the bodice with
emerald' and diamond shamrock brooch
es. Her little bonnet? and toque3 are
always perfect; that worn with the lapt
dress was trimmed with soft pink roec3
and green chiffon, the aigrette being
formed of wre rose' leaves mounted in a
pray. She alwajs makea her mtllineis
concoct aigrettes of this kind, or eleo
she wears wings of wired lace to give
height, for she refuses absolutely to
wear rgn.ttes of plumago. She and her
mother are strong supporters of the
Anti-Plumage League. The Irish ladies
have observed with surprise that the
Duchefs always wears earrings. True,
they are always quite email, diamonds
or pearls for choice, but ehe has never
discarded them. In this she follows
tho example of the Queen.
There has teen a great deal of fun
and jollity going on in the Viceregal
Court during the visit. Its jKrsonncl
U very younp, you see, aleo very 'go
ahead." Tne two marrird daughters,
Lady Lurgan anc? Lady Sophie Scott,
are two of the smartest of our youthful
matrons, and their husbands are bo'h

THE THEATRE
There was a cir load or more of ruirtb,
melody.marcbing.mimicry and mandolin,
masquerading as American beauties at
the Funke Friday evening. Corinnc
presented "An American I8autjr." She
was however, not the only pebble on the
Leach. There were other roecs, both
foreign and domestic, among the princi
pals 6 well as among the chorus.
As a rule "comic opera" by American
composers lackB only two little features
to make it world-famous comical situ
ations and operatic melody. This may
seem a trifling matter, but it needs at
tention all the same. Singularly enough
"An American Beauty" i9 well stuffed
with melodious airs and somewhat am
bitious choruses. They sro by Gus
Kerker. Gus is a German American
with a mus'cal brain and is not com
pelled to fall back on grand 'arc3ny to
supply his ecore. Good care is taken to
have every number in march or waltz
tempo, a feature which rather adds than
detracts from the general exhilarating
effect.

Within certain limitations Corinne is
a very satisfactory party. She never had
a voice of alarming volume or conquer
ing quality. But it serves the purposes
of extravaganza and musical spectacle
and is cot entirely out of place in comic
opera. Her voluptuous costumes never
fail to elicit the unqualified approval of
both sexes. Just think of seventy-five
thoutand dollars worth of diamonds,
sworn to before a notary public, not
counting those on Ler mandolin and
others concealed from public gaze.
Out of slim natural endowments Co
rinne has developed a good total of vi
vacity, graceful action and commend
able dancing. It is idle to speak of the
number of j ears that Corinne has been
on the stage or to hint mjstcriously at
her supposed advanced age. She is a
young lady who, while not great or pre
tendirg to be so, has never spoiled any
play tho has appeared in. When I say
"yourg," I mean it, although it is no
crime to have cut your wisdojn teeth
and to know a thing or two.
As in former years the whole produc
tion was no'able for precision and
praiseworthy attention to details of all
sizes and kinds. Frank David is as
unabridged a fun-maker as ever. He
and his partners steered the fortunes of
their circus through all troubles, from
opulence to rags and bam sandwiches.
The woes of the "fat boy'" in " song was
one of the best features presented. That
and the vivacity of Bertie Crawford as
Rose Budd "while she danced," etc.

This criticism of Corinne is taken 'from the
News, whose dramatic criticisms are alwajs to
be relied upon as lone as Dr. Tymlale writes
them. ThedrmaticcriticofTiiECocEiKE was

their highest priced men to the ricijeide
to report the event, and then devoted
pages to it. Special trtists were engaged
in order that the general public might
form some idea of what happened at the
ringside. Mounted on three long stilts
