axtln Harvey's appearance in New Tforfc next October, under direction of Klaw Erlanger, in "The Children of the King." and a repertoire which will include "The Only Way," "The Cigaret Maker's Romance" and Rev. Freeman Willis' 'After All," a new version of "Eugene Aram," will introduce to the American public an actor who is one of the greatest players on the English stage. "The Children, of the King" was presented in London some years ago before Mr. Harvey became a star. He appeared in it making a success.

The action of the story is accompanied by very beautiful incidental music by Humperdinck. Mr. Harvey became famous in a night in London in the character of Sydney Carton in "The Only Way." It is predicted that his appearance in this part in America will Attract great attention. Announcements of the coming theatrical season show no falling off in the laptation for novels for the stage. yiola Allen is to play "The Eternal City," Faversham "The Right of Way," Otis Skinner "Lazarre, Hacket "The Crisis." while "Audrey" is intended for Eleanor Robson and "Diana of the Crossways" for Ada Rehan.

William Gillette controls "Dr. Nicola," and Mr. Frohman will produce "Mr. Dool-ey." "The Gentleman from Indiana" and "Red Pottage." Klaw and Erlanger propose putting on "Huckleberry Finn," and Olga Nethersole "A Daugh-leiof the Vine." How many of thete '2Jtvmake successful plays It remains to-'-tee seen, but that most will fall by the wayside there is little doubt Of the past season but three of the adtpta pooa have proven artistic and financial The marvelously fascinating influ ence of "The Christian" has been well Illustrated this summer, when it has been let out to stock companies in a dozen or more cities, at a royalty of 11,000 a week, each. The price is large one to pay, but stock managers have found it so much more profitable, even at this price, than' other attractions at one-halt the cost that in jiear-ly every instance they have made application for a second week's rental.

"The Christian" has Invariably brought capacity returns. Bettina Gerard, the dashing comic opera singer, is an inmate of the House of Correction Blackwell's Island, where she was sent the other day In lieu of a $10 fine for intoxication at Brighton, which she could not pay. The sad part of the affair is that the once beautiful daughter of General Ordway, and wife of the Baltimore millionaire, Mr. Padelford, had been sober and hard working for considerably over six months, and had scored a real success in vaudeville. She had practically signed with Commodore Henry W.

Savage to sing in one of his musical productions at the conclusion of her vaudeville dates and all looked bright and rosy for her. But one night last week, a once prominent comic opera soubrette, who has starred at the head of her own companies, chanced to visit Brighton. That was the end of Betty Gerard, so far as her good resolutions were concerned. A few hours later she was picked up by a policeman and house Monday night, Sept. 22.

taken to the Coney Island Emergency hospital. And now this daughter of a distinguished family is an inmate of a prison. Anna Held has at last capped the climax in the question of clothes. She has some new gowns that can not be worn until her body has been annointed with a slippery preparation made partly of honey. The skin of a serpent is a kimona compared with the way these gowns fit Under them there is nothing but Anna Held.

J. H. Stoddard, who is still in "Under the Bonnie Briar Bush," says that never in his extended career has he enjoyed playing a part half as much as that of Lachlan Campbell in the Mac-tares play. William H. Crane makes a similar statement regarding himself as David Harum.

You simply can not stop the bubbling enthusiasm of these youngsters. Perhaps the fact that they are making more money than ever before has something to do with their artistic exuberance. "A Rose o' Plymouth Town," in which William G. Smythe is touring Minnie Dupree, is a free hand picture of life in Plymouth in the early part of the seventeenth century, with a pretty tale, in which Miss Dupree, as Rose de la Noye, is the 'heroine. There are several exciting climaxes, notably in a duel scene between Guy Bates Post.
