Bill Lytell, has sued Bren- uan'h publ'slievs for damages. on the da 111 that the hook's title Is an obvious perversion of his name, and has damaged him seriously. If the real and Fictitious names were reversed the claim for damages would sound belter: but il Is, the suit attracts publicity.

But the story gets also serious praises, as witness this from Current Literature: "There Is something of Dickens In Mr. Brennan's story of theatrical life. Humor and pathos strangely, sweetly blend in his book, which has not received half the attention it deserves at the hands of serious critics. Mr. Brennan's hero is an old-school manoeer.

who has passed through many vissieitudes of fortune. Mr. Brennan. being a manager himself, has seen the heights and depths of the actor's profession and has ehrm ingly in his book the spirit of a period which, thanks to the Theatrical Syndicate, whatever may be Its sins, has now vanished forever." BRIGHTON BEACH MUSIC HALL. To-morrow afternoon the Brighton Beach Music Hall, greatly improved and tastefully decorated, will open what IS expected to be the most eventful season in its history Since it was turned over to vaudeville the hall has grown In popularity until it has become one of the summer inst i'utions of Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Its patronage extends from Manhattan Beach on the east to the Drm and the extreme northern limits of Harlem. The opening week's bill will be an excellent one. It will be headed by the "queen of vaudeville."

A very rare opportunity in the dram atic line will be given to the people of Brooklyn on Tuesday evening, June IB, when Shakspeare's "Tempest" will given for the benefit of the Parks and Playgrounds Association, In Pratt Library Field. Scarcely once in thirty years Is this charming play of Shakspeare ever presented at the theaters, and there are very few grown people, and no children, in Brooklyn that have ever had a chance to see It acted. Arrangements have been made with the Ben Greet company of out-of-door play- for a series of out-of-door perfor mances of Shakspeare's comedies on 14, 15 and 16, with matinees on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the play for Tuesday night will be The Tem- In addition to this rarity thore is another attraction In Sir Arthur Sul- llvans musical setting, which Is even more rarely heard than the play itself. lr Artnur wrote tne music, Intending turn "The Tempeest" into an opera, ut his plan was never carried out, and owing to the Infrequent revival of "The Tempest" on the stage this will be the first time that Sullivan's musical settlnu as been completely given in this coun-y. All the people who were brought on the Gilbert and BulUvSa operas, ho know the Sullivan ballads, will ap preciate the beauty of the English composer's setting for "The Tempest." John Spargur, Victor Herbert's concertmeistcr, will conduct it.

Ids the production of "The Tem pest" on Tuesday night, the following comedies will be given: Monday night. Midsummer Xight'g I "ream," with the Mendelssohn music arranged by Spargur string quartet, will have a novel re In the fairy dances. All the little elves and sprites will be played by children, thus adding greatly to the daintiness of the picture. On Tuesday afternoon there will be "As You Like It," in which all the old glees will be sung. tsmg the old English airs arranged bv Dolmetch, the authority on antique in- lents and music.

"The Temnest" on Tuesday night will be followed by Taming of the Shrew" for Wednesday's matinee and "Midsummer Night's Dream" ill be repeated for tne closing perform- nce on Wednesday evening.

Some will be needed to cover the enlarged scheme for the Brooklyn playground work, and It Is hoped that this sum may be realized from the flvt performances to be given in the Pratt Library Feld. The plays selected are all comedies, as more suitable for out-of-doors performance, and the Pratt Field will be converted into the Forest of Arden by transplanting there all the small trees and shrubbery necessary from the nearby Long Island woods.
