It waa conspicuous and somewhat Important for the reason that th play had never before bean of fered In the wast. It is also th first time th Baker company has attempted a play that la not what might be termed Standard. ..,. - Th presentation, if th truth ts told, mnst ba described as a failure, perhaps the most pronounced failure of th sea son for th Baker eompany. During a pnenomlnally successful season, when crowded- bouses bar attended almost every performance, it must have been quit a surprise to members of the Baker eompany to play to empty seats. The fallur waa nndoubtedly due to th play, and not to the players. How ever, th players themselves must have realised that th pier was not giving the nsual amount of satlaf action and - become -disheartened, for -no Individual member appeared to specially good ad vantage, i Polished ' and finished actor that he la. Mr. Baums failed to portray the character of Shannon as the hero that th author of th piece must sure ly bar Intended. There baa been no explanation of why such an unfortunate selection, was made. Perhaps it was Intended as a ootnpll mentary tribute to the descendants of the Phoenicians for the week of their patron saint; perhaps there may have been other reasons. At any rate, from t the atandpolnt of the patrons, the piece waa unsatisfactory, ana by no meena uc . te the standard that Baker petrena have been led to expert. But the piece la the only failure the Baker eompany has scored this season, The experlenne may have good results. The bill for this week will likely make up for any deficiencies of the one Just ended. ' At the ether stock theatres business Til good and fairly satisfactory plays were offered. The Empire gave Its pat Tons the opportunity of eeelng ."The Xing of Tramp," which left a good Impression. "The Virginian" at the Ilelllg was gives ait enthuslastle reception and played te crowded houses at every per formance. During the latter part of the week Mlsa Roeelle Knott played to fair )y good houeee In " Alice-81 t-by-t he Ura." The play la a charming piece of comedy, though Miss Knott's Interpre- tatlAa of the title Thararter waa not tx-h as to place Jter la the highest rank cf her profession THE Ill .

March ttth, at the Helllg. "The Tenderfoot" la one of the few musical comedies that has weathered th ravages of time, and la still a great drawing card. The muslo Is decidedly catchy and the Unas very clever; .consequently It should not be a matter of surprise that the production acta Ilk a magnet. i Oscar L.

Thla production of Jullua Cae sar" will be a revival In the correct sense of the word, for It waa as Mare Antony that Mr. Hanford years ago stepped from obscurity to stellar emi nence aa a supporting actor In the com', pany of Booth and Barrett . . Mr. Hanford purchased the ' scenery and oostumee of that production from the estate of Lawrence Barrett, and these form the basis of the elaborate sod historically accurate representation now offered.
