David Belosco took formal possession of the Theatre Republic last night, when a large number of theatrical people were present. The guesis were received on the stage bv Mrs. Leslie Carter and Mr. Be- • lasco. The stage was very handsomely decorated. A little speech of congratula- tion was made by Charles Stevenson, Mrs. Carter's leading man, when all par- took of wine from a loving cup presented ' to Mr. Belasco from the "Du Barry" com- pany. After midnight refreshments were served, vocal and Instrumental music, as Well as dancing, were indulged In. All present wished prosperity to both Mr. Eelasco and Mrs. Carter In their new theatrical home. A large force of work- men are engaged to-day In altering the theatre to suit the taste and require- ments of its new owner. A ping-pong tournarcsnt which has Just been completed among the mem- bers of the Spooner Company tut? result- ed as follow.-C. C.

The tournament was arranged by Mr. Palmer, who won first prize, a gold pin. which had been of- fered by Miss Edna May and Miss Cecil Spooner. Liebler & Co, state that negotiations are in progress for a > ^ *£* Jf*Si ward J. Morgan which will be in readi- ness for him about the middle of next se&eon when he will resume his stnrrtng tour In the mean time he will appear as David Rossi In Miss Viola Allen's new play "The Eternal City.' Hull Came s dramatization of his recent novel, for which Llebler A Co. are contemplating an. elaborate production. Frederic de Belleville has been engaged to play Baron Bonelll in "The Eternal City. The last performances in which Mme. Modjeska will appear In this country will h* in Altoona, Harrisburg, Wllkes- barre, Seranton and Binghamton. The famous organization has already appear- ed In the last three cities mentioned, and the effect of the gorgeous scenic produc- tion of "Henry VIII." then presented, has brought almost numberless requests to see Modjeska and Lout* James In an- other play before these artist* go their separate ways. "The Merchant of Venice" is the bill which Will probably be selected. A couple of summers ago Chauncsy 01< ott spent several weeks in a small vil- lage near Dublin, In Ireland. During a walk one morning he came across an Irishman painting a fence. It WM a warm, laay day hut the son of Erin was Pointing at a terrific rate of speed. Mr. Crtcott, with true American curiosity as to why this particular fence should be pointed in such a hurry, stopped and asked the reason. Scarcely looking up the Irishman replied: "Sure an' don't ol have to be In a hurry whin me paint Is afther glvln' out an* ol'm only half true." From all accounts Blanche Walsh has made a triumphant success in "La Made- leine," and although some of the San Francisco critics were not pleased with the play. It has caught the public fancy and is making money for all concerned, H three or four ttesnnt ago Miss ish had never appeared In roles call- Inn for stn equipment of youth, beauty il histrionic genius. Sine then "s« has been phenomenal, and hod the very first rank as i actress. Mis* Walsh has •h af a hit In "La. Made- sieine" that Manager Ilea Stern baa ar- ranged to present the play in New York next fall for a run. It Is delightful to see Joseph Jefferson with bin sons. There are four of Jhem. and the regard with which they trfat "the governor" is as charming as It la rare In these days of filial carelessness. Bach boy, even the oldest, Charles, who is his father's manager, adds the defer- ential "Sir" to their sentences when speaking to Mr. Jefferson, and they watch out for his comfort in every way. Mr. Jefferson only makes two short tours each year, and the remainder ot the time he spends either at his winter home in Florida oi« his summer cottage at Buz- zard's Bay. Here he hunts and fishes, as he is still an enthusiastic sportsman. Lately Mr. Jefferson has been painting a good deal. His, landscapes are always in great demand and If he had not been an actor he would probably be added to the number of great American painters. Mr. Jefferson Insists that he wlH not leave the stage until he Is greeted with empty chairs Instead of smiling faces. In spite of the fact that players live by publicity, a good many of them loathe it very heartily when their hours for play- time come around. They say they never can lose themselves in a crowd, and that when they want to enjoy a couple of hours of relaxation they still are stared at and commented upon so that all the best of their playtime is lost. Miss Julia Marlowe attended a matinee perform- ance on Broadway last Wednesday after- noon, and although she asked the man- agement to seat her well back in the or- chestra circle, they insisted on providing her with a box. As usual she paid the penalty of publicity, for at the conclu- sion of the second act an usher handed to her secretary a note which read as follows: "My Dear Miss Marlowe,—Will you please sit a little further forward In the box, as I am anxious to get a good look at you. I have seen you many times on the stage, but never before as your- self.—Your admirer, ." The writer was a woman, and presumably of the genus matinee girl. It Is so very seldom that E. H. Soth- ern cares to have his season's receipts discussed that the following figures, the result of his thoroughly substantial suc- cess, "If J, Were King," are Interesting, and show how munificently an author may be rewarded for a really fine play. The weekly grots receipts dating from the play's first performance ot the Gar- den Theatre to the week Just dosed In Boston average exactly $10,600. The big- gest week was at Power's Theatre, Chi- cago, which totaled J14.405; the lowest, SS505. where. It would not b\ fair to say. The last week at the Gard«*»*The- atre reached $13,600. The fees paid* Jus- tin Huntly McCarthy average per week $840. It will Interest aspiring authois to estimate on an average total of $10,600 the exact percentage, on a sliding scale of course, that Mr. McCarthy received. When "If I Were King" Is played In London the royalties should he at least $600 a week more, a nice weekly totil for author's fees for one play. Julia Marlowe's long-promised book will shortly appear. It has been known for some time that she aspired to write a book and she has not been backward In confessing to that ambition. The vol- ume which will berr her name Is en- titled "Six Girls From Shakespeare." The subject matter will deal with the six Shakespearean female roles In which Miss Marlowe has appeared In the course of her career. A chapter each Is devoted to Rosalind. Viola Juliet, Imogen, Beat- rice and Maria. The latter part, though a very minor one, occurring as It does In "Twelfth Night," Is rather fully consid- ered by Miss Marlowe -because she thinks it presents such an Interesting side light on dramatic life from the point of the servants' hall as Shakespeare understood It. She played the part as a child and It was the second Shnkespearean role she ever attempted. Therefore It has n. peculiar Interest f?w her. The volume will be illustrated with six photograv- ures representing Miss Marlowe In the characters of which she write*. Bdward McWade, the author of "Win- chester" and "The I^and of Mystery," tells a story about a Southern friend of his who was asked If he Intended enlist- ing. "Fust off." he said. "I thort I would an' then I kinder thort I wouldn't. I ain't afraid of flghtln'; that ain't the trouble. I was tslktn' It over with 'Tom' Owen, after I'd about concluded to Jlne, an' after dlscussln' of It with him, then I made up my mind final. To" te», I reckoned It would be too big s surprise to the ,boyt that's done b«en dead these thirty-five years. They'd see me s- romln' through the pearly gates, maybe. If things didn't come my way with a blue uniform on. They don't know about this affair, an* my appearance would amaze 'em some. Then they'd rite up an' holler, 'Deserted, darn him!' Bo, thmkln' It all over. I concluded to avoid shocttin' them-angels that wort the gray, sn' I'll stay at home." The Manufacturers' Association meets to-night at 198 Montague street.
