Savage'a success'was reached last season in the tour of "TJ College Wlddw,.' which was generally conceded the' palm as the jolllest ,the most exhilarating and wholesome evening's amusement which the year afforded. Inherently delightful, this comedy de luxe of George Ade's was given all the accen tuation that proper presentation can afford. Now the second tour brings thii play to the Academy on Friday, and as Mr. Savage's promises have been made thoroughly good Mn the past, It is safe to -count upon a pro duction that will slight nothing which the Judgment or the critical might covet The College Widow," aa its title suggests, Is founded upon life in a small college town, with student and village types Intermingled In charm lnrly humorous -transcripts from fa miliar campus cenes and Incidents. If is primarily a satire, but la also an excellently constructed play, telling Its simple story without verbiage or Immateriality. From Its opening speech there is scarcely a line that la not relevant to the theme upon which Mr. Ade has built The dia logue teems with smart repartee, rude, but good-natured philosophy and straight from the shoulder Amer icanisms. It Is a thing of joy to the college man, yet appeals to the ris ibilities of all.

Lester Lonergan, the young star of Justin Ilantly McCarthy's romantic drams, "It I Wr King," a . recent pronbuneed success of E. H. Sothern, Which , wJU .shortly .be - given in thUJ city at the Academy, Is the proud pos sessor of a suit of armor, which has long been the envy of many of Amer lea's greatest stars and producers. The suit of armor, which covers the body complete from head to foot, was the property of the late Edwin For rest and was worn by him for a' num ber of years, in his greatest perform anoes of classical roles, one of which was Richard IIL. The armor was supposed to have been the property of the English royal family, and there la a tradition associated with the worn ooat of steel that, secretly worn by the Duke n' Glo'cester U once pro tected the renowned warrior from as aasslnatlon at the hands, of a traitor. Mr. Lonergan wears the suit only in the. last act of the play; and carries It from city to city In a specially built trunk, which the actor Invariably has stored in his apartments at his hotel. "THE MERRY WIVES OF WLD SOR." Charlotte theatre-lovers will have the opportunity early next month of seeing one of the best productions of Shakespeare's Intlmltable comedy, "The Merry Wives of Windsor," ever given In the South. - Louis 'James, as "Falstaff," pro vides a new and said to be Immensely successful addition to his already large gallery of Shakespearian por traits. His "Falstaff" In Henry IV will be .recalled as one of the most delightful comedy contributions of that year, and it is said that his "Fal staff" In "The Merry Wives of Wind sor" equal". If not surpasses, In- unc-tlous- comedy the former jolly Sir John. It has been a long time, we are told, alnce one of the poet's comedies hsts been more sympathetically and adequately staged, and while fhe play Is one. that, lends Itself capitally to the kind of adornment In scene, cos turns and accessory of which the i i I I J i - .,.,...,... Sau.id.'in'j.The.Concgo;: ' . I i 4 I i p. " v vsSf; li'r U $ j f , i ' v ; J. I iVs.X , ' modftrn stage manager Is so fond, and of which Mr. James has taken ex cellent advantage, yet the temptation to overdo these features has been re sisted with much delicacy. The re sult is that the pictures, while rich and effective, are never obtrusively so, thereby providing, as they should, merely ah. effective framing, for the Characters. The last act, however, is one of exceptional beauty and reveals the' famous Windsor forest at mid night, when the fairies were supposed to haunt the .historically known "Herne's.Oak." f Mr. James has surrpunded himself With an exceptionally clever com pany, at the head of which appears the name of Nellie McHenry, who has bean specially engaged for the char acter f "Mistress Quickly,' and Nor man Hacttett, .who plays the jealous "Master. Ford." Other filayors of lo cal popularity are: Aphlo James, who plays- "Mistress Ford;" Charlotte Lambert, who is "Mistress Page;" Lillian Lancaster, I. Arthur Young, Nathan -Aronson, William Chrystie Miller, C. D. Brown, etc. THE ILLUSION OF BEATRICE. Miss Maude Fealy, who Is this, sea son starring In Martha Morton's de lightful new comedy, "The Illusion of -Beatrie,n tells a charming little story 'reminiscent of the late Sir Henryj Irvlnr. during her experience as the' leading lady for Sir Henry at the famous Drury Lane Theatre, Lon don, England. 'The story Is perhaps best told In Miss Fealy's own words: '"The first week passed most beau tifully I played all my roles; but the second week I hail an accident which came near being serious. I thought the list of plays each week would be played' in rotation, as they were the first, and, as I did not ap pear In one of the plays, the one which was played the corresponding day, of -the week previous, I sat slowly finishing my dinner and ask ing my mother where we would spend the evening, when the call boy rushed Into the: room saying: "Miss Fealy, the' prologue -of 'Hockef is over and the overture . of your act Is. on." To this day I do not recall my sensa tlpns. believe Ij was deaf, dumb and blind. Finally the word 'It Is L. . i J . . .' ( , ' t .1 i, It in Ih.il . t a f.i" i' 1 i .in-. J ii hlih't f.r ly 1 t.

How it jwai aanag-ed, I will never-know." "MARRYINCJ MARY." ' '-'The' great businesa that has been lone by Marie Calhtll In her- new nuslcat play, "Marrying Mary; In aM York. Philadelphia and Boston, t is the best proof that tho theatri cal publlo knows when It is being of 'ered an entertainment that Is worth vhlle. , Edwin. Milton. Royle haa lone eleven1 work. before, but it haa been along 'dramatio lines exclusive" . ' : -; V 9 1 1 1 ' - . A " i Louise Rutter, as " Jane," ly., Soon will he bow. to us as the creator of as ' clever a comedy as has been heard here in ome time, when "Marrying Mary"- comes to the Academy soon, and the music by Silvio Heln Is Just the excellent kind that might be expected from the brilliant young' composer of "Molly Moonshine." In addition to this, there Is the most of that expert lyricist, Benjamin Hapgood Burt. One cannot help being entertained by Marie Cahlll. for she is without a parallel in her line of comedy, but as If modestly underrating herself, she has brought with her such ex cellent players as George Backus and Eugene Cowles. The others of hrr company are all splendid artists, and then there Is the much written about "long skirted" chorus; who really can sing. , And surrounding It all there Is that daintiness which is now character istic of a Cahlll performance. Every thing Is genteel, or perhaps a bettor word Is refined. The pretty comedy Is as free from suggestlvftness as a mother could wish, and yet it is as entertaining as anything we may see In a long time. Miss Cahlll Is wise in Identifying herself with such an excellent' class of -entertainment. More and more each season she will realise the sa gacity of her plan. Musical comedies of the "Marylng Mary" class will always have a steady following, while those which depend on the novelties Involved will be only as good as thi noveltlssv themselves.'

SMALLER NEWSPAW3RS. ' Reading Publlo Getting Tired of Im mense Sunday Iflsara. ' Chicago Chronicle, , Nobody 'caf predict positively what tha "newspaper, of the -future" will be, although . some , gentlemen who never were in the newspaper business are prepared to tell us all about it in the 10-cent magazines. , -One thing, however may safely be predicted by anybody, and that is that the newspaper of the future wlU not be any bigger than the newspa per of the present The limit of size in ratio to cost of white paper has been reached by some journals which even now are either losing money on' every paper they sell or - else keeping even by the narrowest of margins. Even with heavy advertis ing patronage it Is clear that increas ing size under' such circumstances would be to commit financial suicide. ' . Other considerations make for a re duction rather than an Increase in K a nt nAwimaners. The most lm portant one is that the reading public is becoming tired of the great bulk of some dally editions and of most Sunday Issues. It is impossible that such masses of printed matter should be read. They become wearisome and inspire the desire tor less bulk and more cogency. The public pretty generally gets what it wants, and that will provo as true of newspapers as of political can didates. There is a growing senti ment for smaller and more compact newspapers, and when that demand culminates the publishers will com ply. Piles get quick relief from Dr. Shoop's Maale Ointment.
