AT THE THEATRE.
"THE BIRD OF PARADISE."
The Hawaiian atmosphere to which Mr. Knal and his troubadours introduced us not long since was brought back to the Theatre Royal last night by the Courtneidge-Hol- loway Company's admirable pro- duction of R. W. Tully's spectacu- lar play "The Bird of Paradise. The house was not as big as the merit of the performance deserved and that may possibly be accounted for by the fact that the piece takes nearly four hours to stage. It was not very far off one o'clock in the morning when a burst of enthusiastic applause marked the final "curtain."
an
Between Miss Cherry Hardy, as Luana the Hawaiian Frincess, and Mr. Claud Allister, as Dr. Paul Wilson, the young medico who falls in love with her and her island paradise losing most of, his manliness in the process, were shared the evening's honours. Miss Hardy indeed made such altogether charming Luana that one could scarcely find it in his heart to blame the spinelcas Wilson for hiş irresolution: Mr Reginald Power, as "Ten thousand dollar Dean" the beachcomber, was, paradoxical. ly, much better before his redemp tion than after it. Others deserving mention were Mr. Fred Per
隐 priest main, as Hewahewa of the ancient days
and
Mr Walter Hodd and Miss the Florence le Clercq as

Hissed to Death.
A tragic story of the persecution of an Italian actress by a lover whose advances' she had rejected comes from Florence. The Coun tess di San Fiore, of Padus; under the name of Lina Murari, has for some time past been earning her living as a singer and dancer on the music hall stage. Beautiful-and popular, the Countess had hosts of admirers among the male mem- bers of her audiences and one man was particularly ardent in his pro- fessions of affection for her. The Countess, however, was unable to reciprocate his love, and rejected his suit, whereupon, in a spirit of revenge, the man started a cam paign against her. Every time she appeared on the stage the Countess found herself vigorously hissed, and this so preyed upon her mind that, after one unusually venoinous attack of the kind, which caused considerable commotion in the hall, she committed. suicide. She was found dead in the room she occupi- ed in a small hotel in Florence, having swallowed a strong dose of veronal.
Three cases of small pox and two cases of cerebro-spinal fever, all Chinese from the "Old and New
