There Is not a name In the list but that lias stage distinction cr no mean order. The revival is to bn under tho direction of A. M. I'alnier, under whose manage ment "The Two Orphans" was given Its original production at the Union Square Theater on December G. 1S74. It ran there until tho following June, was put on again la the following Sep tember and rail for many menths more. 3t was one of the events in the history of the American stage.

And while he is abroad he will write sev eral new plays. "I never write in New York." said he. recently. "I have not recovered from my severe illness of three years ago. "One-half tbo week I spend in New York and the other at my country home, in Greenwich. I map out here what I want to dp, hut I roust so abroad to do it." But before leaving the laud oC his for tune, Mr. .Fitch has taken occasion to state, once and for all, that he is a so ciety man, that he has been and doc go in society, and taat he knows whereof he writes and whatof he speaks, when ho In dulges In the society play. Furthermore, Mr. Fitch has great hopes for the society drama, even as he has great hopas for society itself, in tlfts coun try. "Soc'ety plays In America aro better now than they ever were before." haid he a week ago. "The society comedies of ten or fifteen years ago, such, for Instance, as wero produced at the old Lyceum The ater, would not do at all to-day. "Society has become much raor.s exact ing.as to the way it Is represented on the stage. It does not like to go to the theater to see itself caricatured. A number of prominent iictorj. nns of r.oclety as well as In it. It is not so many years aqo since Englishmen used to sneer ut American so ciety actors and declare that there was not one of them that looked at home in a dress suit. They do 'not tay things like that any more. "The continuous Improvement In society plays calls for better work from the dram atist, the actor, and the stace manager. I do not know whether some playwrights who deal with society, and the actors and stage managers who carry' out the ideas of these playwrights, have the opportunlty of going Into society or not "At all events, it Is obvious that they do I1mK;SBPwBHM?v t't )l t li Itj M.MlmXmUEBSIimm&wk Af A 1 mjgmEmmtEmm IM MwMJMBsEmSEpBMm wmWM fflw&VWEBmBA Mm&-WiwlSm il Mrs. Lsngtry's coming brings to mind a story of her first visit to the United States. 8he is known as one of the cool est of women in fact, she largely attrib utes to this fact the preservation of her almost unrivaled beauty, she never al lows herself to become excited. Surroundings, whatever they may be. do not hwrn to affect her; good luck and bad luck, from her viewpoint, are much the bame. She is a cool winner, a i-omposjd or "good" loser. Her first engagement in thi3 country was to have been in "An Unequal Match." nl the old Park Theater at Twenty-second street and Broadway, New York. She was stajlng at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, a block away. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of tho Mondav thHt phe. was to make her debut, the Park Theater caught flro. Her manager ran over to the hotel and. going to her room, knocked on the door. Knocking three times and petting no re sponse, he pushed open the door and walked Into the room. There on tho bal cony that ran alongside tho window stood the "Jersey Lily" watching the flio. "Po you know what building is burning;" he nskeii. "Yes." answered Mrs. Ixingtry; "it's the Patk Theater." "All our scon cry and all your expensive costumes nro going Up in smoke! Bad luck, isn't lt7" "No." she answered, calmly, "it's good luck. I was Just thinking how lucky I was In not being In otic of 'hose coxtunus while it was burning up. Let's have some Eupper. I am as hungry as a bear!" Some one has added a new story to the Henry 11 Dixey collection. It concerns the stranger who, in making friends with the player, attempted to Impress his Im portance and linguistic' knowledge upon him. "No." raodestlv acknowledced Ihn stran ger, "the so-called vagaries of the Greek verb r.tver bothered me." "Is It possible?" ejaculated Dixey. with an ill-concealed smile. "How about modern languages?" "Oh. they wero astonishingly easy, es pecially the romance languages, French, Italian, Spanish, etc.," blandly assured the man. "And why si astonishingly easy?" queried Dixev "I am sure the rest of us here would like to know tho secret." "They were easy for the simple fact that they aro ail based on Lttln. And having mastered I-atln, I found no trouble with them." "Mastered Latin! Wonderful, indeed," exclaimed Dlxev. "And cu spe.ik it?" persisted the actor. "Fluently." assured tho stranger. Dixey drew 11 Ions. low whistle. Tn the Impressive stillness that followed the lin guistic in.in.-el started to --o. "Quo Vudl?" asked Dixl,'. looking up. "Ah-ah, si si, senor," blandly r.- llptl the stranger, disappearing through the door. One of .the "Jersey Ully's" fads is to have each dressing-room she occupies fur nished as nearly alike as po?slble. This is one of the first things her property man and her French maids attend to on reaching a city. .Most of the paraphernalia is carried lv Mrs. Langtrv when en tour. The principal thing Is the dressing table. It Is of white Wood, heavily enameled in white. The table it elaborately ornamented with cupids and buttcrtltes. most delicate ly made and grouped, and is festooned with old rose satin, with muslin beneath, peeping through at the top. The small mirror is electric lighted, to Mrs. lsngtry's own special design, and by an ingenius arrangement color effects biue, red and amber can bo obtained at will. Thus the actress, when dressing, can always tell just how new gowns und hats aro going to look when she la on the stage. For the reception of the very numerous dainty hccosmjik-- ot tao toilet there Is a tort of tray. lOaeh brush, comb, scent bottle and powder box Is en graved with Mrs. L-ingtty's initials. Tho w'underful case? of manicure instruments are aTl fitted Willi implements of solid gold. A cozy sofa of luxurious propor tions, decked with allm.n-r cushions of daintiest design and a decidedly business like yet elegant escreroire -ire also in cluded In the equipment of her drcssin-r-roora. Not Goodwin sometimes tells a story on himself. His latest Is about a visit he once paid n small town 'n tho West, which was coincidental!!- entertaining a race meeting. Not a ticket hud been disposed of at advaneo !-ale. but as the night wore on a few places were bought In the gnlUry. A small number of ladies and clilldieu were seated In the balcony, but when the time enmc for the play tn begin thera was not a person downstairs. "Not for me," said Nat. "I would strain my neck trying to ke-p my eyes on the top gal lery all the time. Scnro somebody In be low, somehow, or tho bhow don't go." The manager went across the street to a hotel and Invited a number of men from the r.tnelies, who were-lounging on the steps, to come over and see tho .show as his guests. They saunlerod over, rather doubtfully. At the door tln?y held a consultation together, while tho man ager held th portal Invitingly open, and thy despondent comedian peeped through the eyehole in the drop curtain at the empty house. Finally one tall chap, who seemed to be the spokesman, addressed the manager: 1 "Say, friend." ho said, "what do we get for our time If we come In?" Here are Mrs. L-ingtry's "Don'ts" for women who would be beautiful: Don't eat when very tired If you expect to get any good from your food and pre serve your beauty. Don't eat mere than one hearty meal a day. This Is tho secret of good looks, health and long life. Luckily for tho doc ors, few people appreciate it. Don't eat much meat in hot weather if you would keep your skin free from erup tions. Don't eat hot or fresh bread if you want to bo healthy and beautiful. Don't eat cold, starchy foods. like po tato salad nnd cold porridge, unlebti you have strong digestive organs. Don't eat ico cream too fast. Eaten slowly and allowed to melt In the mouth It can do no harm. Don't drink much water at meals, but take a glassful the first thing In the morning and the last thing at night. Don't drink too much coffee or tea un less vou want a complexion like leather in color and texture. Don't cat potatoe". peas, macaroni, cream, olive oil. pastry and boil bons If you want to lose Hash. Don't go to bed hungry! A gla of milk or a cup of chocolate will refresh you. Don't thirle you can cat too much spin ach, lrttute. watercress, dlndelion and cat rots. They urc complexion beautlflers. ' .
