If. lapscim. That the theatrical season is now fully under way Is demonstrated by the fact that John Drew is at the Empire Theater with his annual pro duction. Other playhouses may open early or late, the premiere bills gravitate from drama to farce or musical comedy, but the Empire invariably summons In an audience on Labor day. and Drew eoores another "polished success." This year the offering- is Alfred Sutro's four-act comedy. "The Perplexed Husband." It Is a satire on ine ui fragette movement of the day. The wife of a London tea merchant, who Is on business In Russia, goes to see "A Doll's House." and Is so much affected that she determines, like Nora, to aseert the Independence of her sex. Hubby returns to nnd that she has In stalled In their home a professor of the new social principles she has adopted and also a woman disciple of his. The wife refuses to put them out, and the husband Is Jn despair until his sister-in-law suggests a way out of It. Acting on her advice, the husband pretends to be converted to the new doctrines. He even insists that his pretty young typewriter be Introduced Into the circle, "so that her soul may be developed to its fullest possibilities by the opportunities for learning the truths of the new movement. The girl itoon destroys the peace of mind of the wife who is nearly ready to drop all her new ideas for the sake of re covering her husband's love. Finally the psychological moment has arrived, but the typewriter will not go without the professor. At last they depart to gether, leaving husband and wife once more in possession of the ideas which bad formerly brought them such happl ' DNS. Mr. Drew, as the husband, deserved all the customary praise of his art, and his public, which is a large one, will probably find "The Perplexed Husband" as entertaining as former offerings. The fact remains that it Is a mighty slender comedy, but it Interests be cause of the acting of Mr. Drew and the highly-competent company with which Charles Frohman has sur rounded bJm.

The disuoi u..., nnmnelled to ask the govern ment for permission to open new churches or mviae pansuw become too large. There has conse- naniv been a steady Increase In new churches and parishes. In Paris today there are nine more parishes than there were when the sep aration of church and state was ef fected. In the Parisian Buburbs the number of new parishes Is 15. In ad dition' to this 24 new district chapels have been-opened.

The final tableau Is called "The Court of the Crystal Fountains." It shows a galaxy or shimmering silver ptufi. u the edge of a silver lake from which giant llllies rise, and is worth the price of admission alone. Another ex quisite scene Is one by the canals of Holland. The vast stage is filled with vivacious Hollanders tulip growers, windmill tenders, seminary girls and villagers. Suddenly they are crowded Into the back of the stage, and there appears an astondlng field of real tulips, all the colors of the rainbow.

Charles Klein has dramatlxed Rex Beach's "The Ne'er Do Well," and the result of his labors Is now on ex- niDlllUH SI -'J UJliu .aimaaaw. . been demonstrated In past seasons that book plays are not popular. Mr. Beach and Mr. Klein wonld seem to be the best possible combination to achieve success, but their offering is not likely to attain any great uegivs iu ywyu lartty. In the book the skllfull Mr. Beach was able to make his hero a more or less pleasant character, but the realiza tion on the stage does not add virtues. Three scenes in the first act put the audience in touch with the hero. The first shows the young man and his com panions, after a successful football game, celebrating In a low dive. He is drugged and put on a ship bound for Panama in plaoe of a fugitive who is just about two jumps ahead of the bloodhounds of the law. The second scene show the decks of a steamer. The hero awakes from his drunken slumbers and thinks he Is In a hotel. In the final scene a woman pays the bill he has run up for liquid refreshments on the voyage down. The second act shows the hero in the American Consulate at Panama, run ning up bills and borrowing money from the Consul or any one else who will loan it. Then two telegrams ar rive, one to the Consul stating that hero's father has no soa Ca new way of disowning a worthless Individual), while the other tells the boy to keep away from New York, as the police are looking for him. The wife of the American diplomat, who has paid his bills on the steamer, induces the boy to go to work, and he graciously consents to accept a Job as conductor on the railroad. The woman is in love with the ne'er-do-weil, and her husband becomes Jeal. ous. He invites the young conductor to a banquet, puts the hero on his wife's right, and glares at them. The diplomat tanks up on champagne, then rises ana in tne presence oi u gucoia formally presents his wife to the ne'er-do-well.

MANIAC STABS 3 WOMEN Passengers on German Railway Se verely Wonnded Two May Die. BERLIN, Sept. 14. The Prussian state railway has issued a notice of fering a reward of 1250 to anyone who will discover, or cause to be ar rested, the criminal author of a das tardly outrage in a local train near Berlin. Three women of Nauen, a town some distance northwest of the capital, were traveling up to Berlin on the 6 o'clock slow train In order to attend a wedding party. They were alone in a compart ment in a third-class corridor carriage, and the train had scarcely left Nauen when a tall, haggard-looking man snd- denly dashed In their compartment, and avt UtlUO 1U1U .Uuut 11 1 1(1 1 11 uut-tt.uu thrust fashion with a long butcher's knife. The attack was so savage and sud den that all three women were severely wounded within a few seconds, and, suffering from pain, half paralyzed by fear, they could not pull the com munication cord. The maniac, how ever, soon tired of his exploits, and himself pulled the cord. , Then, when the train had slowed down, he made off across country, showing such a good pair of heels that he had soon thrown his pursuers gendarmes, rail way workmen and passengers In the train completely off the scent. The three women, who were all very dan gerously wounded, were at once taken to a hospital. The maniao appears to have delivered no fewer than 30 blows, of which nearly half caused severe wounds. The two worst cases are suf fering from a wound In the orbit of the eye and two stabs in the abdomen.
