Fred Averett, manager of agencies “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." Government censorship In England Is a good deal more aerloua a matter than free-born American citizens are apt to think It Is. Ernest Shipman, the New York ( theatrical manager. Is notv In a position to testify to this fact If a docu ment recently received from London Is what It purporta to he. Air. Shipman states that It Is a docu ment from the office of Lord Chamber- lain, the British official censor of stage plays In England. The text of the dqc ument eels forth that "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," the piece founded on Mi'. Charles Major's novel of the same title and In which Miss Laura Burt and Air. Henry Stanford appear at the Grand Atonday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday matinee, cannot be produced in Great Britain and Ireland or any of hla majesty'a dominions, unless certain passages objected to by Lord Chamber- lain "be expurgated.” The story of the play deals with In terestJng episodes of the reign ot Eliza heth. Queen of England, nnd Intro duces very attractively the character of Mary. Queen of Scots. Lord Cham berlain apparently thinks some of tho Incidents throw a rather too lurid light on royalty. The pecullal- feature of the case Is the fact that the play had already had one performance In England for copy- wrlght purposes and waa really li censed by Lord Chamberlain, previous to which the customary two copies were deposited for tho libraries. Evidently the reader of plays In Lord Chamberlain's office hud failed to read the manuscript carefully, and a second perusal brought to light tho passages objected to. The English rights tc the play had already been disposed of to Fred Terry and Julia Nellson, who, If It cannot be put on, will have tc suf fer, a fact which served to lessen Air.

Annie Russell as "Puck.” Miss Annie Russell's appearance In the role of "Puck" In "A -Midsummer Night’s Dream”—a new part for her—at the Grand on Wednesday and Thurs day nights and Thursday matinee, Is alted with special Interest. The por. trayal of the mischievous "Puck" by a woman Is not without precedent, al though stars and leading women have seldom given It preference over Helena and Hermla. Mlsa Ellen Terry at the age of IS, played "Puck.” but In later years was always cast for Helena. Augustin Daly’s productions Alias Ada Rehan Invariably waa cast for Helena, while the part of "Puck” fell to the late Ellen Burg (Airs. Robert Edeson). Lau ra Keene Is one notable exception to the general rule. At Laura Keene's Varieties in 1859 she appeared as "Puck” for a few performances. Fay Templeton playe'd "Puck" with distinct success for part of a season at the old Mtar Theater. Allss Russell’s metamorphosis from the Ingenuous stage maiden to Bhake- speare's sauciest boy Is said to be as remarkable as Miss Alaud Adams' transformation from Lady Babble to Peter Pan.

For centuries mothers have insisted that there Is, in nil the'world, nothing more beautiful than little children. When they have found It approplatc to compare the eyes of their children with stars sncl their skin with the leaves of roses, they have done so In order to flatter the stnrs nnd the roses. Mothers would never stop If oue were to ssk them to go over the entire ntsary of iharms of their ehlldreu; the plunip little feet, the snow-white shoulders, the goldeu hair, the smiling mouth nnd the little dim ples that seem ninde to he kissed. It Is not mother love which has made them blind. The little face, the soft body of their battles nre really things of beauty, and after the artists have shown ns Hie beauty of, children In their 1'U|»I<1*. now come the seleutlsts nnd anthropologists and prove positively nnd conclusively what the mothers have prodalined nges ago. The reasons for tlie beauty of clillUreu are well supported In uature. Every healthy child must, from more physiological ren- bo more lieautful than the adult. The _-jess of the eomplexion. the freshness of the skin, the elnntlelty of the flesh are mere physical phenomena. lu children the proeeasss of renewal of tlie tissue* take place much more energetically than iu i* course of i--— Its task in shorter time and more frequently. It per- jssui,%-nmwm ill Tl'lll'nui IUC IISSIII place much more energetically tl grown people. The blood, whose eu circulation Is shorter, performs Its shorter time ai * “ vades ail tissue- lshing ehnmcterlstii Admire s*> uineli. When n certain quantity of water gees to the ground all plnnt* mur that spot nr«r benefited thereby, but the larger the area Is the less each plant will get. So it Is with the tissues In the bodies of chil dren, which are richer lu blood. The eyes ‘ ‘ rosy, tho In other .he drcii- _Jon is slower, the eyes are dim. the skin •. w . r,uk, * 1 L ,he Hps grow dry nnd the hair loses Its eolor. Hut besides this beauty, which Is founded l general laws of tmtttn*. the Hues and fea tures of the child are governed by specially favorable laws applying only to the child. Let us, for Instauce. look at the eye. It an acknowledged faet that If Is much easier to find bemitlfnl eves In children than In adults. Nearly all children have large eyes. This Is no Occident but u natural niiatomleal phenomenon. The eye Is one of thi» organs In human beings which develops most rapidly. After the seventh year Its development ceases, while all other features continue to grow, the cheeks, the mouth, the nose, the chin, the whole head. For this reason the eys, which appear large In the small fnce, grow less con spicuous nnd look smuller In the large, fully developed face. We can furthermore prove the fact that the adult* who appear to have large eyes, have smal’ features, nud that It Is Indeed these which make tho eyes seem large. Now as to the expression of the eyes, which always seem to reflect good huumr nnd joy; the child derives this from Its own soul. The child Is u being untde for Joy. Joy Is the very foundation of childhood's psych ology. tine only need* to watch children to discover how carefully they avoid any thing which may cause annoyance and pain and how eagerly they seek anything that g/res them mi opportunity for Joy. No one understands better than the child to derive pleasure from the ordlunry oc currences In life, eating, walking, dressing: no one Is more reudy to speud the whole time to play; no one Is more prone than the child to take part lu any enjoyment: even lu oue which It does not understand. For this reason the child langbs when It see* grown people laugh without knowing vhnt mused the laughter. of Joy, which Is apparent lu ail This lOW «»i juj, nuii-u i» nppnrcm iu u«i children, reflects' itself lu the expression of their face* and their eyes.* Also the mouth is in children more beau tiful than iu adults. We often wonder when we see how the month of a clUld which we think t*autlful it of one of the parents which Is not attractive at all. Apropos of that I may 1*» permitted to mention a personal Incident. A friend of mine oucc told me that luy child had a hiouth exactly like mine, "hut," she added with unconscious fraukiiess. "ihe little one has such a pretty mouth." There are philosophical as well ns anato mical reasons for the greater beauty of the child's mouth. The auatoiulce.l reasons are some I have Just mentioned—the greater vitality of mat ter. the richness of the blood and the soft ness of the Hues. But there Is still another reason. The mouth Is nn Instrument which Is lielug used constantly—chewing, eatiug. talking, kissing—nud ns It Is bslug used 7t loses its original softness and beautiful out- JJwe. One might thus take up all other features and find reasons for the fact that the •hill!, when absolutely uoruinl and healthy. “ attractive and fascluatlug f< is far the lover of human boant, developed being. tl.nn the fully eminently aatis- “Tom, Dick and Harry.” What promises to be one of the real hits of the aeaapn will be this week’s offering at the Bijou in the engagement of Bickel, Watson and Wrothe In their one of .the strongest aggregations in the country playing stock exclusively. • The company has a standing cast of eigh teen people and at times employs a much larger number In plays like "The Great Ruby," "The Holy City," and others.

H ®Ts "‘the'kno"*£ “Th» Squaw Man.” Edwin Milton Royle's'creat play of Western life, “The Squaw Man,” comes to the Grand Friday and Saturday next direct-from It* remarkable run of six months at Watlack’s Theater In New York, where it played in over 300,090 persons. This piece ha* been spoken of as the closest approach to the true American play that has yet been (Iven to the state, and Its strength and truth In the display of human emotion has been the subject of dlscuaiion to a greater oxtent than any other produc tion made this season. There Is a charm about It that Is positively en trancing, for ah* characters are gath ered from many lands nnd from many pari* of the country. Yet the whole Is so nitlstically blended, and the story Is one of such straightforward human ity that there can l>e detected In It not one false note or Inconsistency. The story plod* sturdily forward through four acta of tense excellence and the farce without going into the laughable situations Incidental to It would seem plain and commonplace. Suffice It to say that Dutch, Bum and Irish, the comedians, get mixed up In military af fairs when they wander on to the pa rade ground at West Point, and. being mistaken for secret service men, nre liven several commissions that they on’t want very badly, because their lives are endangered. They fly away from there to tlie Island of Port O’Domingo In a flying battery, which Colonel Bluff has Invented nnd which Is stolen by a senorlta from the Island with their assistance. Bumming It up In a few words, “Tom, Dick and Harry" is two hours and a half of constant laughter. El Dorado Reoptns.
