THE JUDGE. Tuey have been having an attack of “The Rajah” out in San Fran: ‘The ’Friscans don’t seem to tackle kindly to the play, although they are loud in their praises of Maric Burroughs, whois the late: exponent of the part of Gladys Wyncot. Miss Burroughs emanated from California, and that partly accounts for the newspaper rhapsody over her ‘large, lambent eyes, pliant, willowy figure, and occasional startled fawn manner.” Mias Kate Forsyth, too, came from Cali- fornia here, and according to the Argonaut’s standard of beauty, she is “quite the most beautiful Parthenia that has ever been that may” { this be true, we are sorry for the other females that attempted the part there. MISS Torsyth hes oortainly a rather fine stage presence and an engaging manner— but in the east she has never been called beautiful, at least not in print. Verily, a prophet, now-a-days finds honor in his own country and among his own kin- dred. As for Mrs. Langtry, she is called a “ charming lady and a passable actress.” She has now gone from our gaze like a beautiful dream, and as there isnothing new to be said about her until she reaches Eng- land or drowns, we take it for granted that what the Argonaut says is true, and beli ing the public are not yet tired of the Lang. try subject, we quote the following paragraph concerning her recent San Francisco invest- ments: bought while here, a number of costly Jap ancse costumes, in which 'she intends to ‘stun the Londoners when she returns to their big vill across the waters.

So much risco. At this season of the year Tue Jun obliged to travel all about the country order to attend any pepalar plays. New York is as dead as a herring, as far as theatricals are concerned. Lulu Hurst has managed to keep things rather lively around Wallack’s, and the Aronsons and McCaull are doing the same at the Casino, but these small riots, although some of their characteristics are very drama- tic, scarcely belong to the legitimate. Aimee’s dates appear to have been changed. She is now announced to open at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in December, in Jessop and Gill’s comedy “called “ Mam’zelle.” On August 11th, Derrick’s “ Twins” will be given at Wallack’s, and after that the lous other theatres will one by one fall into line and show signs of returning life. Marie Jansen has appeared at the Criterion, London, and so has Isabel Everson—but the latter is not considered to be much of an addition to the Wyndham Company. Lotta and Minnie Palmer will soon be here, that is, if the same ocean can hold them both—and Lotta will do her ‘* Nitouche” a Uv anglais, while judic will show us the French of it. is in The Four Susans, on TRICKS OF THE TRADE: No. 1, THE CARPENTER'S SUSAN, Wn drove five nails my eyeballs through, | And sawed our youngest child in two, And dressed her xu. r with liquid ghuo— NO, 2, THE MERCHANT'S SUSAN.

And I fear had not their attentions been partially divided between the toothsome viands and myself, some seri- ous gastronomic accidents must necds have resulted.
