When Mr. Henry 13. Harris contracted to
produce the new play of Mr. Deltrichstein's,

richstein Insisted that the whole success
or failure of the play depended upon the
woman who should be engaged to play Me

ter correspondence with some of the lead
ing actresses without results. It was dc
Hded to hold sort of an open competition
during Mr. Deltrichstein's long engagement
with "Are You a Mason?" at that time on
going in Chicago. Tips were accordingly
dropped in several large cities which soon
resulted In hurried arrivals and excited
actresses who were rehearsed in a couple
of swncs from the play by Mr. Deltrlch
stein himself One day Mr. Harris was
sitting in his office in the Bijou Theater,
New York, when in tripped a young and
beautiful woman who announced herself as
a contestant for the role of Melitta Arendt.
Mr. Harris said: "I think there is little
chance for you, as I have Already sent at
least twenty actresses to Chicago, and as
many more are trying for the part from
other cities." The young lady grew persist
ent, saying that she would pay her own
fare to Chicago and undertake all expenses
of her stay there if he would give her a
letter of Introduction tyi Mr. Deitriehsteln.
So impressed was Mr. Harris by the confl
uence and pers >naliiy of the young lady
that he finally gave her a letter of intro
duction to Air. Deitriehsteln.
Mr Deitriehsteln was enthusiastic over
the latest applicant. He Immediately wrote
Mr Harris that they had accomplished
that rarest of theatrical treasures?"a real
find. So satisfied was Mr. Deitriehstein
that he immediately gave all the other as
pirants for the role their conge ami Miss
Kate Hassett was b ft in undisputed pos
session of the manuscript of the leading
role in "The Last Appeal." The part is
described as demanding all sorts of dra
matic virtuosity, as well as beauty in an
exceptional degree. Miss Hassett arrives.

a few cities. My fix months' run in New
York cut me out of a lot of territory which
I shall cover this s.-ason. America is good

not like me in London. Any actor who
can gain and hold the support of the Amer
ican play going public has won reward
enough."

Astray," as "remarkable." Dion, then at

Bellew to come to London, and placed him

THE THEATRICAL SEASON
INTERESTING GOSSIP AS TO THE
NEW YORK OPENINGS.
Where Some Well-Know* Washing

Friendihlp? Are Snadered.
Ftois m Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, August 21, 1901.
Theatrical promoters in New York are In
the state of fond expectancy which usually
characterises the latter part of August.
There is unfailing optimism in discussing
the various enterprises to be launched be
tween now and November. It la when the
katydid begins to sing of frost that the
theatrical venture is in the height of prepa
ration. Nearly all the forthcoming produc
tions of importance have been heralded and
discussed. One or two claim especial noticc
In Washington. The strong interest in
Shakespeare that has recently developed
hns led the firm of Deleher & Brennan to
present Charles B. Hanford in "The Tam
ing of the Shrew." Mr. Delcher's long the
atrical experience Insures every possible
advantage to the enterprise in the matter
of business details, and Mr. Hanford's per
sonality and career are well adapted to the
literary methods which Mr. Brennan is ac
customed to employ in exploiting players.
One of the first steps taken was to arrange
for a series of magazine articles from Mr.
Hanford's pen, embodying his reminiscen
ces of the late Edwin Booth. Mr. Hanford's
association with Booth was close and cov
ered a long period of time, and his recol
lections will be of Interest to the reading
public, as well as of box office benefit to
himself. The role of Katherine in "Taming
of the Shrew" will be played by Helen
Grantley, an actress who, in addition to
stage triumphs, enjoys the distinction
of having been selected by a recent pho
tographers' convention in London as an
Ideal type of Grecian beauty. Kathryn
Kidder, who Is also to be under the man
agement of Deleher & Brennan, is to begin
rehearsals of her new play, "Molly Pitch
er," early in September.
Signor Fanciulll has completed a grand
opera and has made arrangements to give
the grand premier performances in Wash
ington .after preliminary presentations in
Norfolk and Richmond. The week of No
vember 4 Is the date selected. The opera
is entitled "Prlscilla, the Maid of Ply
mouth," and the story la the everfresh and
fruitful theme, the courtship of Miles
Standish. The opera company will take its
name from the prima donna and be known
as the Rose Cecil Shay Opera Company,
Signor Fanciulli is naturally hopeful in con
pection with the enterprise, as It means
the realization of an ambition dear to everv
musician's heart.
Paula Edwardes, who made hersedf so
well known In a short time with the Duff
Musical Comedy Company in early sum
mer, returns to her vaudeville engagements
soon. She is to appear in a sketch by Wil
lard Hoi combe, whose intention it now is
to permanently abandon his work as press
agent to engage in the authorship of vaude
ville sketches. He will have four or five
attractions on the vaudeville circuits this
season. Homer Lind, who is back from
Europe, will continue in Holcombe's ver
sion of "Gringolre."
Everett King, who played King Louis
XI in the performance of "Gringolre" in
Washington, has given up the part of
x, .!L^ld/.fn ,n Stanislaus Stange's version
of The Courtship of Miles Standish," now
Hf1 iT/i !arsa'" ^r- King's prospects are
divided between two offers, one to so with
? ui?^ipany to the Pacific coast,* where he
will have an opportunity to play "Shakes
#KndT*^^thlr.t0 take an imP<>rtant
role in the Wllstachs new venture, "Sweet
Clover, in which Adelaide Thurston is to
w k"? f? Thurston Is unknown
here, but exceedingly popular where she
has appeared.
k ^ 'lstach Is expected to represent
( Mansfield as usual, unless gossip,
ft! epre3 Jade, has again selected
the famous actor as her favorite mark. It
fVom tf. at Mu' Manstt^ld wlll cut loose
m m that controls his bookings
and will go to the far west as an inde
Th? r SUr: the head of a stock company.
The reason suggested for this is that Mr.
Mansfield regards the jumps arranged for
him as representing too much railway fare
f" r??s<>naMe expectation of profit.
The worst of It is the suspicion that it wag
done on purpose.
John Grieves was, until recently. In New
1 ork. arranging attractions for his co*nintr
season at the New Bijou. He says he w^
comes the new regulations designed to keen
thIteSh?eoiW,thin thl boumi? of decorum;
that he always endeavored to make his
shows revelations of purity and light and
that If the District Commissioners' wM
only be firm a/id stand by him he will at
last succeed in circumventing the worldly
comr^n fVeOUS ,show people whom he Is
compelled to employ.
James Lackey, brother of Wilton Lack
aye. has a good part in a new melodrama
which soon goes into rehearsal. He Is mak
ing steady strides forward In his work and
expects this part to add to the g<^ thlnS
already to his credit. Wilton Laekaye to
to be In the company which produces a
KWHa^?Ca6aSf" umel(Klrama, With James
K. Hackett as the hero.
Hans Robert, who is to take a proml
rt H 5h? r*'?nlnS summer success.
Florodora, Is Justifiably enthusiastic over
km ?,e demonstrated his adapta
bility In Washington last summer. He
stepped from musical comedy to straight
oomerly with the utmost ease, but did not
find the straight comedy surroundings con
genial very long. The time when Mr. Ar
den was stage manager wag an exciting
period for a number of actors, and Mr
I Robert was not without a share in the un
rest. According to Mr. Robert's friends,
when "Captain Letterblair" was in re
hearsal, Mr. Arden and Mr. Robert both
studied Irish dialect parts. On Saturday
Mr. Arden said:
"Mr. Robert, I have been thinking about
your part In this piece and I don't believe '
it Is well for both of us to employ Irish
dialect. \ ou will have to change your con
ception of the part."
"But." protested Mr. Robert. "I have
studied it and rehearsed It in Irish, and I
don't believe I can change."
"Oh, yea You can change It to cock
ney."
"But I don't know a thing about cock
ney." insisted Mr. Robert. "Cockney is
something that never appealed to my artis
tic nature."
"As an actor, you ought to be able to
make any kind of change. I could do it
easily."
"Well," was the mild rejoinder, "if you
can do. it so easily why don't you use the
cockney dialect yourself?"
It is needless to say that the relations
between Mr. Arden and Mr. Robert at once
became strained. In a short time they
were severed. By such slight things are
friendships sundered.
The season is opening slowly. "A Mor
mon Wife" was produced at the Fourteenth
Street Theater. It is an appeal to popu
lar appreciation, without much disposition
to stand in awe of critical opinion. "Are
You a Mason," a frolicsome farce from the
German. In which the adapter, Leo Det
rlchsteln. appears in a sort of "Charley's
Aunt" role, has renewed its run at the
Oarrlck Theater. The play is a gladsome
trifle, and does not assume to appeal to
the soulful. Washington is on its list of
bookings.
Rich & Harris, who are presenting "Are
You a Mason." have equipped Louis Mann
and Clara Llpman with a new comedy,
which Is in line with Mr. Mann's ambitions
in the direction of a more legitimate work, i
without making too abrupt a transition
from his present successful field. Those
who saw him at the Columbia will remem
ber his amusing soliloquy on the "Poors
and the Pritish." In this piece he takes
the part of a Boer farmer, who Is con
cerned in the Jameson raid. The play Is
not Intended in any sense as a political
argument. Assurances are offered by their
representative, Charles Mayer (brother of
Marcus), that there Is nothing In It which
could offend the most sensitive attache of
any foreign legation.
Managers generally express themselves
as expecting another big season. The In
dustrial unrert which Is always an Influ
ence In theater patronage. Is expected to
be wholly settled before the plays now In
process of rehearsal and out-of-town trial
have fully entered on their careers, tt
ought to be a great season, for each and
every manager expresses the solemn eon. |
victlon that his next attraction represents
a magnificent culmination of genius
capjtal, which will make the auditor give
derout thanks that he happened to be born
in this particular artistlo era. P. c!j
The costumes of the Nixon 4k Zimmerman
production of WiUard Spenser's comedr
opera, "Miss Bob White," represent a little
fortune. A remarkable feature In this ?>n
nectlon lies in the fact that there Is not
one pair of tights Included m the list. Is
there another opera that can boast of this
distinction!

EXCURSIONS.
Washlngtonlans are appreciating more
and more the good fortune they possess in
having such a delightful resort as Chesa

dent from the steady Increase In the visit
ing throngs and the general expressions of
pleasure and satisfaction which they unite
In while talking oyer their trips. Chesa
peake Beach is becbmlpg more popular In
another sense, and- that Is as an outing
place for organizations. During the past
week several such bodies went down to en
Joy the salt water surf, the crabbing, fish
ing, music and numerous other attractions.
One of these was the Uniformed Rank,
Knights of Pythias, whitfh made its fourth
trip this year to the delightful resort.
There will be a lack of the fine music ren
dered by Haley's Washington Band all

day, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week,
as that sterling group <?f music makers has
been engaged to accompany Washington
Commandery, No. 1, Knights Templar, to
the Louisville conclave. Mr. Otto Mears,
president of the Chesapeake Beach Rail
