You shall begin the world anew ; your sky shall once again be blue.\ Then to his rooms Tom Johnson led | and in warm clothes from foot to head , he clad his old tim e friend, then said: ; \This is New Year’s day. old man. j This town is doubtless full of good men j down. Let us tw o see if we can’t find some others who have run behind ■ We'll take a cab and drive about and | hunt them up and get them out, and If I they don’t enjoy this day It won’t be i my fault anyw ay.\ To this Tom’s friend gave quick as , sent, and up and down the town they went, and before evening they had i found of friends of both a dozen round on whom Dame Fortune false h a d 1 frowned Did they accept Tom 's bid to dine?

News from the Plays “ THE WHIP.” The tremendous success scored by “ The Whip” at the Manhattan Onera House, has broken New York records and caused those best posted on theat- ricial affairs to marvel. The box offi:e receipts for the first nine days exceed ed the take of any theatre in America for the same period witn the notable j exception of the Metropolitan Opera House and the Hippodrvme. “ The Whip” has caught the popular fancy | with the result that the big theatre in 34th Street is crowded to capacity at j every performance, and seats are sell ing for weeks ahead. An advance sale in excess of $45,000 is reported. This seems to give a final answer to the question of the judgment of tne group of big American managers who 1 acted in concert in arranging to bring ; to America for New York prodqction the striking successes of Drury Lane for the next five years. Presentation of “ The Whip” merely marked the in auguration of the plan of a Drury Lane for America and the Manhattan Opera House has been dehnitely determined upon as the theatre for the purpose. “ The Whip” will run continuously at the Manhattan Opera House for the 1 remainder of the current season at least, if not for a longer period. In London it remained continuously at one j theatre for two years and four months, a record never equalled in the World’s metropolis. There is every reason to anticipate that the London run may be equalled in New York. “ The Whip” makes strong public appeal because of the heart interest underlying its story, the stirring. action that characterizes its develop ment and the sensational climaxes I that punctuate it. These include a mounted hunt, an automobile accident, j a railroad collision with real locomo tives and cars, and a horse race with a dozen former turf favorites ridden by jockeys of international reputation.
