It is a matter for regret when we find an actor of Otis Skinner's rank wasting his gifts on a play liko "Sire." It is a pity to see his magnificent physique, his "splendid, well-trained voice, his exceptional' charm of personality given to the service of such trivial stuff as this. For several seasons now Mr. Skinner has been seen in nothing but vagabond roles. They have become, so to speak, a specialty with him. He seems to love best these rollicking, careless types, the easy swagger, the broad humour that raises loud guffaws, grandiloquent, bombastic speech. Beware, clear Otis Skinner, of the lines that tickle the car! Your best friends regretfully see in you this tendency, and wish to see you resume your proper place either in Shakespearean repertoire or in serious modern drama.—Criticism of Otis Skinner in tho "Theatre Magazine.!,

"Disraeli," by Louis N. Parker, was performed for the first time on any sta.oe at the Princess Theatre, Montreal, on 'November 23, with Mr. George Arliss in the title-role. Disraeli is seen at the zenith of his career in the early seventies, and he saves tho Suez Canal from falling into hands hostile to England. There" is a love story, the "bustles" of the women and tho quaint costumes of the men adding interest to what appears to be a very charming comedy. Tho play was produced under the personal direction of the author. J. J. Curtis anil Co., Shipping, Forwarding, and Customhouse Agents, Customhouse Quay, move your f ur . niture.
