ranged to suit the convenience of those
who avail themselves of th's social
treat and annual feast. Something like
three score of men were served during
the designated period of «:30 to R p.
m.. and the general verdict by both
boys and young men was ”It was sim
ply great.” The Y. M. C. A. has be
come noted for Us excellent menus
served on the social occasions and the
stag affairs this year espec'ally are
grilling a popularity among the mem
bers that is really becoming contagi
ous. and Is productive of incaleuhible
benefit to the city at large.

PerhupH the moat remarkable thing
about the production of "Coming Thro’

the show Is well boomed before It has

When tlie company arrives tho house
is generally sold out. und of course I
get tho credit for it, remarked Mr.
Beard. But It Is not any of my work.
It is the popularity the show has on
the traveling man. It Is a whirlwind
dashing musical comedy that makes
others look like funerals. The com

music is nil cnpltvating, and Tom Wa

JAMES K. HACKETT.
James K. Hackett. who Is to appear

“The Prisoner of Zen da,’’ Is having u
translation made of "La Francalse,” the
play that caused so much discussion
In Paris a year ago; and It will prob
ably be tried out after he is through
with his revival of "The Prisoner at
Zen da.” This will be the first time
that a play by Eugene Brleux has ever
been played In this country, though
one or two of his earlier pieces were
produced at the Court Theater in Lon
don. Brleux is one of the leaders In
the "drama of Ideas’* sehmd in France,
and while only a few of his plays have
been ftopulur successes, all of them
have attracted attention bee«use of the
virility of the man and tin* ethic.»I
quality of his Ideas. Home of Ills plays
have born the storm centers of disci
slon among the dramatic and liter
critics of Paris, this being especially
true when “Le? A varies” was produr
at the Theater Antoine -several year*
ago.
In "La Franenlse,” Brleux lias criti
cised the French theater for Its too free
use of only one subject, and ims made
a protest against tho everlasting man
age a trols, which sems to be the only
theme that can Interest tlie French dra
matists. The play. ”l.a Francois©,' was
declared by many of the critics to Ik*
Brteux'smost spontaneous and striking
work, nnd to b© a drama that will un
doubtedly have tho good Influence In
