In reference to whlt'h one reads much In the dra matic reviews in the magacines and literary publications, it was frequent ly the custom of the stars to gather about them one or, two noted players for the presentation of certain strong plays. The first actor to do this, which was an Innovation In his day. was Kdwln Forrest, who was desirous of presenting several of the legitimate classical plays like "Damon and Pythias,- "Vlrglnlus,"" "The Gladiator,"' and "Othello." and on hia tours took with him such noted actors as John MeCullough and Frank C - Bangs. Later, following the same idea, J. W, Wallack, E. L. Pavenport and Mrs. Bateman entered the dramatic field in this same class of work. In .later years, this same Idea was exemplified in what has been termed the "all- star cast' performances of such plays as "The Rivals," "She Stoops to con quer. "The Two Orphans" and "The Merchant of Venice.' " ' - Following the very worthy example set by Edwin Forrest, Wallack, Pav enport and .others of twenty or thirty years ago. Messrs. Klaw Erlanger and Joseph Brooks have signed con tracts with Guy Standing and Theo dore .Roberts, under which they are to star Jointly for several years, ; not only In , 'The Right of Way." which will nay a visit to the Academy 01 Music on next Monday night, but In other plays requiring- acting of the school which, these gentlemen so worthilv exemplify. Messrs. Klaw & Erlanzer and Brooks, not only intend to present these gentlemen In- mod ern plays, put they also Plan 10 pro- sent them in several of the . classical dramas. v They - will . surround ,s them with a dramatlo organttation, the like of which has not been, seen in this country . for many years. This enterprising Arm already signed nnntracta with several actors, and be fore the opening of next season will have gotten together a complete or ganization of players of great talent and high reputation which will prove the leading dramatic company, of the country, , t ' - ' ' MARRIAGES.''
