APRIL 29, 1429. JOAN OF ARC ENTERS ORLEANS WITH SUPPLIES. APRIL 30, 1789. INAUGURATION OF WASHINGTON. FIN DE LA SAISON. IT took that imaginary individual, the American dramatist, quite a while to wake up to the fact that the late war was available for his purposes. The great success of "Held by the Enemy" and "Shenandoah " have demonstrated it so well that the war drama is becoming a staple product, with some prospect that the supply will exceed the demand. The most recent of these productions is " Across the Potomac," by Augustus Pitou and Edward M. Alfriend. It is not to be mentioned in the same breath with the other two war plays. It appeals almost entirely to the gallery, and, although there is nothing objectionable in the piece, it is constructed on such a low plane artistically that it just about fits its cast of mediocre actors. It contains, however, some good situations, and its stage setting is very good. “H * USBAND and Wife," at the Garden Theatre, neither points a moral nor adorns a tale. It simply makes people laugh through its first two acts, and in the third gives the audience a fearful and wonderful exhibition of judicial procedure before a London police magistrate. The complications which follow the organization of "The Tiger Lillies' Club" by a number of dissatisfied wives and the rival "Dandelion Club" by their husbands, are laughable and cleverly contrived. If "Hearts," the Herald prize play, was really the best production submitted in that contest, it means either that the competition was a failure or that the American dramatist is still being coddled in the bosom of futurity. It is far from interesting. Miss Cora Tanner and some very elaborate gowns sustain the leading parts in both pieces. LIFE does not pretend to judge fashionable attire for women, but it is able to state with suitable solemnity that Miss Tanner is not a great actress although a fairly pleasing one. 25252 cooking. Approaching the "galley," where a brawny Highlander was attending to t culinary matters, he was attracted by the savory odors of a compound known by Scot men as "hodge-podge," which the Highlander was preparing. "What is that ?" asked the prince, who was not known to the cook. "Hodge-podge, sir," was the reply. "How is it made?" was the next question. "Why, there's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't, and cairots intil't, and "Yes, yes," said the prince, who had not learned that "intil't" meant "into i expressed by the contraction intil't; "but what is intil't?" "Why, there's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't, and carrots intil't it, and"Yes, I see, but what is intil't?" The man looked at him, and, seeing that the prince was serious, he replied: "There's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't, and " "Yes, certainly, I know," urged the inquirer; "but what is intil't-in til't?" "Ye daft gowk!" yelled the Highlander, brandishing his big spoon," am I no telli what's intil't? There's mutton intil't. and-" Here the interview was brought to a close by one of the prince's suite, who was fo tunately passing, and stepped in to save his royal highness from being rapped over th head with the big spoon.-Argonaut. IT was Sunday morning. The Boston young woman who was on a visit to h Western relatives spoke to her aunt in a subdued Boston voice appropriate to the day. "Aunt Rachel," she said, "have you a volume of Emerson in your library?" "I am sorry to say, Waldonia," responded Aunt Rachel, "that we have not." "Then I will read a few chapters from the writings of Solomon," said the your woman, taking down the family Bible with a sigh of mild disappointment.-Chica Tribune.
