MUSICAL ASP DRAMATIC
"Women Rale' att the Aretai
Much Interest has been excited among the
regular theatre goers by the announcement of a
new nre-act comedy by a dtstlnsutuhe 1 member
of the Philadelphia Bar at the Arch, and there
vat a general feeling among those who are in
terested In the drama that there was still some
hope for legitimate dramatic art when a gentle"
man like Judge Brewster undertook to throw his
experiences of human 11 Ic and character into
such a form as thK There are so many nice
points involved, however, in the construction of
a first-rate acting comedy, that even such a life
long student of the foibles and follies of hu
manity ai Colonel William B. Haon might be
excused if he did not achieve an entire succen
on his firat attempt. Success at the bar of the
Quarter Sessions and on the stage of the Arch
are two different thins s, and one does not by
any means Include the other, as the somewhat
unenthusiaHic reception of Mr. John O'Byrne's
comedy sufficiently demonstrated last evening.
If we were at all curious to know what that
naaghty, naughty man, Charley Brooke, would
have to say on such a promising subject as
Women Hue, we were doomed to disappoint
ment, s far as obtaining any new idea or
opinions is concerned. The opinions of Wil
liam Wheeler Uubbell, Esq., with regard to the
superiority of the sex feminine are evidently
sufficiently pronounced; but be has not, in this
comedy, been able to express them with the
desired lucidity. The language of the play n
always elegHnt, and often forcible indeed, wo
could expect nothing else than this from our
"silver-tongued" orator, Dan Dougherty, Esq.
The Impression left on our mind by Women
Jluie is that Mr. Lucas Hirst, to rest his weary
brain alter the labors of the day, went one eve-
alag to see John Brougham's Lottery of Life
When "nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep,"
e'.tled upon his eyelids, he dreamed of all the
old comedies he bad ever seen: these gradually
resolved themselves Into a single five act piece,
In which, after the manner of dreams, wa
mingled certain Quarter Sessions experiences
and dim recollections of John Brougham's way
ward fantasy. Up rose the sun, and up rose
Lucas, determined tbat the public should have
the benefit of this grand, and under the cir
cumstances we are justified in saying vinlonary
Idea. The result may be seen by a visit to the
Arch this evening, when Women Jfu'e will be
performed for the second time on any stage:
The comedy is detective in its plot, which is
to much involved that it is scarcely possible to
tell what the story is, or whether there is any
story at all. Judge Cadwalader evidently has
no idea of dramatic point or effect, and the
characters often wander about in the most
aimless manner, and the scenes and acts con
clude in very inartistic style by the characters
suddenly stopping in the middle of their con
Tersatlon, and placidly walking off the stage,
Jnst when the audience is all ejes and ears to
know what is to be the result of all the talkee
talkee. Mr. Rdward Ingersoll, however, has
Riven one scene, where a couple of bashful
lovers are left alone with each other, each
being afraid to speak first, which is effective,
especially in contrast to the rest of the piece
The situatiou is not altogether a novel one, bu
the excellent acting of Mr. Everly and Mrs.
Creese made it amusing, and it excited the
londost laughter and applause of the evening.
In Women Bute Judge Stroud has given us a
representative of the women's rights movement
a sort of compromise between Mrs. Jellyby
and Mrs. Cady Stanton who Is the moving
spirit of the piece. For the other characters, we
have the Irascible old baronet, whose physiog
nomy has graced, the stage tor so many years:
a meek-spirited nephew who wishes to marry
the milk-and-water ward against the baronet's
consent; the false heir to the estate, and the
real heir, who has hitherto figured in the
humble capacity of secretary, and who steps
in at the nlek of time to oust the pre
tender and assert his rights; a smart widow who
Is np to all the tricks of wicked men in this
wicked world; the hen pecked hutband of the
strong-minded lady; their booby son, and finally
the indispensable valet aud the pert chamber
maid. We regret that we cannot pronounce Mr.
Cassldj'a comedy an entire success. The dla.
logoe is so well written, and so much genuine
ability is shown, that the dramatic weaknesses
of the piece are the more deplorable.
The Arch street company did their best with
the piece, and if success were possible they
would have achieved It. Previous to the per
formance Mrs. Drew delivered a prologue
which was rather more complimentary to the
females of Greece and Borne than to those of
our own day and country. It was pleasantly
written, however, and gracefully delivered,
serving the principal end of a prologue, to pnt
the audience In a favorable mood for the recep
tion of the comedy.
The cast of Mr. Blnnev's comedy of Women
Rule was as follows: "Mrs. Winklove," Mrs,
Drew; "Lord Winterb j," Mr. Mackay; "Henry,"
his nephew, Mr. Everly; "Valentine," his
secretary, Mr. Barton Hill; "Philip Landoff,
Mr. Craig; "Old Payksao," Mr. WallU; "Youag
Fayksan," Mr. Meagher; "Margin," "Henry's"
valet, Mr. Hemple; "Mr. Wright," a solicitor,
Mr. Bnyder: "Mrs. Pajkean," Mrs. Maeder;
"ilmlly Meadows." Mrp. Creese; "Queen," "Mrs.
WlnsloveV maid, Miss Davenport.
Miriam's Crime" at the Walnut-
Last evening the Walnut was filled to over
flowing, to witness the tirst appearance upon an
American stage of three English artistes Miss
Jennie and MUs Lizzie Willmore and Mr. Felix
Roarers. Previous to the extravaganza of lxion,
which was announced as the great attraction ot
the eveninor. Mr. H. T. Craven's drama of
Miriam's Orime was presented for the first time
here, with MUs Lizzie Willmore and Mr. Felix
Rogers In the leading characters. The plot of
this little sketch is far from being tedious, and
altogether U is supetlor In interest and merit to
many plays which are palmed off upon the theatre-goer
of the present day as master pieces
of dramatic art. The incidents turn upon
the burning of a will by "Miriam," who com.
mits this reprehensible act, the will being en
tirely in her own favor, lor the sake of a young
scapegrace wnom she loves, but loves In vain
But immediately thereafter a lorg lost brother
of the testator turns np alive, having served out
a full term of transportation for forgery. He
assumes possession ot the property, to the con
Bternatlon of everybody except "Biles," his
'professional man;" "Miriam" and the yonth
Who bad anticipated tne fortune areignomlnl
ously turned out of doors, and things get mixed
no most grievously. "Miriam" finally seeks
refuge with the former landlady of "Biles," aud
there, in one of his private boxes, she discovers
still another will by which the youth In whose
behalf she has made such an ill-starred
pacrlflco is made the heir of the disputed
property. This, of course, agala turns every
thing topsy-turvy, the returned convict is
obliged to vacate; and the fortunate youth,
having been jilted by his sweetheart under the
belief that he was penniless, abandons his
abandoned ways and takes "Miriam' to his
heart. The character of "Biles," the "profes
sional man," is the most marked and original in
the play, and in the hands of Mr. Rogers it is
developed into a striking piece of low comedy
acting. "Biles" is always diunk, and Mr.
Rogers' Inebriation 1 a creation of his own, suf
ficiently novel to be characteristic, and, what
is still more to the purnotte, exceedingly
grotesque and laughter provoking. In short,
Mr. Rogers displays the lustincts and teachings
of an excellent comedian, and takes rank at the
outset of his career in Philadelphia as a favor
ite. Miss Lizzio Willmore' "Miriam" was, on
the whole, well acted, and secured for her a
very favorable reception; while the support
given by the members of the regular company
was quite creditable.
After the drama the audience, not at all 1m.
patitnt for the change, was favored with the
first representation, in this city, of Buruana's
world renowned burlesque of
'Ixlon f or, the Ulan at the Whoel.'"
The author of this extravaganza has taken as
wild and bold a flight as the librettist who con
cocted Orphee for Offenbach. The story U
familiar to all students of myth)1ogy. Txion,
King of Thesaly, having married Dia, the
daughter of Deloneus, after pledging his kingly
honor to make a substantial present to his
father In-law, obliges that personage to resort to
force before he can secure the eift. Under the
mask of friendship, Deioneus is invited to a
feast by Ixlon, and, being taken unawares, is
hurled into a burning pit. For this cotnblna.
tion of treachery and cruelty he Is ostracized by
his lcllow-mcn, when Jupiter takes
compassion upon his wretchedness, invites him
up to heaven and gives him a seat at the table
of the gods. Ixlon, however, Is a confirmed
reprobate, and avails himself of the opportunity
to tamper with the affections of Juno, to the
disgust of the whole tribe of Olympians and the
anger of great Jove himself. He finally dis
ports himself so shamefully tbat he is conducted
to Jthe warmer realms of Pluto, where he is
bound to a perpetually revolving wheel, and
thus, through all eternity, expiates his pre
sumptuous offense.
On this mythological legend, the burlesqueof
Izion; or, Ihe Man at the Wheel is based, and
like all similar contortions with which play
goers are familiar, every leading incident in
Ixion's career Is turned to the best and most
extravagant account. Yet a single representa
tion of the piece does not convince us that the
material has been put to the most available use,
despite the incontestable fact tbat the burlesque
has enjoyed such a run in England as to have
numbered the thousandth night. The most
striking weak uess of the production, however, is
the neglect of those who have prepared it for the
American stage to localize the puns, the force of
many of which are lost upon a Philadelphia
audience. Notwithstanding this defect, the
whole affair has great intrinsic merit, and can.
not fail to secure in this city, as it has already
secured in New York, a long run. In fact, no
such fate awaits it as befell the unhappy Delo
neus. who "lost his head and couldn't keep his
legs." In these days legs will uphold almost
anything upon the stage, and as legs were by
no means regarded as too delicate for
exposure on Mount Olympus, they are not held
in more delicate esteem in this mimic resort of
the gods. The mock Olympus is excellently
produced at the Walnut, the scenery through
out the burlesque being exceedingly novel and
picturesque. Then there is the powerful acces
sory or a rattling mcaiey or popular airs,
'Tommy Dodd" and "Up in a Balloon" being
mingled in scandalous confusion with the
scores of some of the maestros of the art divine;
while, as a fitting climax to this ridiculous
tumble, gods and goddesses disport themselves
as though gods and goddeeses were called Into
being for the sole purpose of shuffling their
logs, as doubtless they were.
We can only speak in terms of commendation
of the performances of Miss Jennie Willmoro as
Ixlon," Miss Lizzie Willmore as "Juno," and
Mr. Felix Rogers as "Minerva." The latter
personation was fully equal in grotesqueness
to that of "Biles," which is saying a great .deal.
The two Willmores are unquestionably well
sohooled in the art of burlesque acting, and
are sufficiently extravagant, without
descending to the reproach of coarseness the
greatest stumbling-block in the way of the
burlesque actor. They were well supported by
the members of the stock company, especially
for a first performance. With two or three
repetitions, the latter will doubtless become at
home on Mount Olymplus, and then lxion will
be booked for a run as long as Its legs will carry
tt, and they are numerous enough and suffi
ciently exposed to carry it a long way.
