The abore are tlic theatrical attractions
for this week.
A carious Jnmblo of plays and actors has
occupied the various staca all the week,
and they range from classic plays and tho
frreatcst actors down to the Teriest drivel
and the poorest interpreters possible. The
pool has predominated, however, and 3Ir.
Jefferson's short visit was as usual one of
the creat treats of the year. The gap made
toy Florence's death -was painfully noticea
Dle in both "Tho Uivals" and "Tho Heir-at-3w."
Louis James, pood actor as he is, is
not comedian enough to take Florence s
place. In fact "The Heir-at-Law" resolved
itself into s vehicle for Mr. Jeffers-on alone,
and not a vcrv good one at that. It is not snr
prising that Mr. Jefferson intends to return
to "Eip Tan Winkle" next season.
The attraction at the Bijou Theater this
weei will he the popular romantic actor
Mr. Harrv Lacv, in a new military playf
Jack Koyal of the S2J." Mr. Lacy
has established for himself a leading
place as a romantic sctor. Wisely has he
chosen modern American plays for the dis.
play of his abilities. As a heroic, self-saori-flcin;:
fireman ho w on his Hi st laurels in a
field that affords creat opportunities for his
style ot actinc. A Jad: Jioi-aJ he portrays
a voung military offlcor trained in the hard
bnt highly efficient school of West Point, an
academy where tho jrap.lc aro taught to
command men by acquiring the more diffi
cult ait of commanding themselves in every
emergency that is likely to arise in peace or
war. Jack Royal .is the central figure of a
bright and bustling play, written for Mr.
Lacy by Mr. A. C. Wheeler, better known to
readers ot dramatic literature bv his nom do
plume of Xym Crinkle. Jlr. Wheeler has
put, it is sild, good work into "Jack lioyal
of the Xicety-second."
For his theme he chose the machinations
of rebel sympathizers in New York during
the War "of the Ucbellion. Some one s-aid
while the country was in peril that the "left
icing of Lee's army was in Xcw York." It
may or may not be that Mr. Wheeler wrote
ihe"rlav anon that hint. At all events he
illustrates ii in a graphic form, "howins how
tho emanes of tho Confederacy put forth
cunning i.ieasures to thwnit efforts for the
preservation of tho Ui.ion by operating, not
in the flelc, but in Kew York. One of the
stirring incidents of the piece is a graphic
representation of the nistone diaft riot in
Xiv 'ioik Citv in the early --ummer of ISfil
In this stin.ug scene the rio''rs are shown
in possesion of tho metiopo'is for a few
hours, their discomfiture aid the exposure
of the designing men ulio fomented the
riot. TJnuu.illv rich in pecnerv is "Jack
Kcyal of the 52J One setting is"a faithful
reproduction of an ironworks, wherearmor
plates for a monitor are being forged. An
cthor shows a tunnel under the Harlem
river where the insidious foes of the Union
met to concoct their plans lor treason. A
third retting is a place of refuge chosen br
several prominent personages in the play
while the draft riots raged fiercest. Hero
the friends and foes of lav and order meet
fice to face and right is enforced at the
points cf baj-onels pushed by brave and
patriotic men.
2?at Goodwin is badly in need of a new
play, as he himself would confess probably
as freelyas anyone. "The Xomince" is not
worthy of him, and while it makes laughter,
3"sonear the border of indecency all tho
time that it could not be a success generally
In America, even if th, third act were not so
weak dramatically. But Mr. Goodwin is still
amazingly funnj.and by dint of fine per
sonality ebiff'T A nlay that would bo
chieflv low coraedv, with just enough real
linrnan interest, and a httlj pathos, to afford
relief, ought to tail in Mr. Goodwin's wav
oneof thes-davs and when it docs he will
make the countrv howl louder at him and
for him than it has yet done.
The Duquesne Theater will be in gala
dress this week, for it has its manager's
greatest production as an attraction. To
morrow evening David Henderson's latest
end much-talked-of spectacuiar production,
Sinbad, or the Maid of JJalsora," will begin
a week's engagement, presented by the
American Extravaganza Companv. "Sin
bad" is the legitmia'p successor to"Tho Crys
tal felihpcr," -j. inch was received with such
favor heie last vear. "Sinbad'" accomplished
the marvelous feit if playing tor 15 consecu
tive weeks in Chicago "last summer to the
utmost capacity ot the Chicago Opera House;
it then went loSt Louis for a week, and the
entire company, numbeiing nearly 100 peo
ple, and carrying three carloads of scenery,
jumped directly Irom thcie to Sau Fran
cisco, where they played a five-weeks' en
gagemenl to the most phenomenal business
ever known on the l'acitic coast. 'The organ
ization has since completed another success
ful run or four weeks in Chicago and pleased
Cincinuatians last cek.
The secnerv or the piece is most elaborato
and abundant. The principal pictures in
"Sinbad" are the port or Balsore nt day
break, the deck of the fcmua-gler's vessel, the
wreck, a tubuiarine tableau representing
the shattered vessel lying in thedenths of
the ocean, a romantic tropical island, a
weird jungle at sunset, the trozen i alley of
diamonds, inbaa3 ivory palace, and the
concluding tableau, an idyllic transforma
tion scene, represcntingin the most delicate
colors tho artist's idea of "the morning of
life." Tho piece is full of bright and catchy
music. Several pretty dances are intro
duced in the piece, but the most imposing is
tho grand ballet, "A Winter Carnival,"
which oeenis in the rrozen valley of dia
monds. Tin-, bullet is led by three premicro
dancers, lleniietta Kosche, Madeline. Mo
rando and Martha Irmler, and the cory
phees aie attn-edto repiesenS snowflakes,
icicles, sleigucrs, skaters, tobogganers, har
lequins and h-iiloquinas. The entire cos
tuming ot the piece is rich and gorgeous in
Hie exticme, neatly COO costumes bcinguoed.
Tho American Lxtinvaganza Company it
self hardly needs comment. It is the same
organ.zation that was here last vear, in
cluding Ida Mulle, Topsy Venn, 'Frankie
Kayinond, IJabette Hortnoy, Annie Dacre,
Henry Xorman and E-lu in Foy, while the
new members are Louise Lissin-r, Jessie Vil
lars, Martha Irmler and Han Hart, Charles
Crawrord, Harry MeKisson, Arthur Dunn
and Spencer Gracey.
Stuart Eobson's revival of "She Stoops
to Conquer" was worthy of him as an artist
of high aims. It -n as beautirully staged, tho
rcenery being indeed as lino as any ever
seen here in its realistic fidelity and clever
painting. As to tho Tony Lumpkin Mr. Kob
Fon gave us opinions seem to differ, and the
acceptance of this rendering of Goldsmith's
character would seem to depend upon
how the spectator liked Mr. Eob
ton's little tricks and style as a
comedian. The Tony was far more
Eobson's than Goldsmith's, and while it
wr funny, it did not 'show any very
pubtle reading of the character, in my opin
ion. Avery able critic who reviewed the
performance for The Dispatch on last Mon
day night has already ttated a somewhat
contrary view, but everybody seems to
agree that tho whole performance was
aitistic and therclore worthy of the sup
port the public gave it. Mr. Kobson is per
Jectly nt home and himself in Bertie, and
"The lleniietta" delighted the people who
saw it as much as ever.
The new plays produced in Xew York
last week do not appear to have amounted
to much. Tho most successful premiere was
probably that of Harrigan's "Last of the
Hogans," and about this Arthur Brisbane
writes The DisrATCH: "It won't live long.
The good thing in the new play is the littlo
Hogan girl, who, ignoring everything else,
asks calmly for tho inheritance or all the
Hogans that she may take the money to her
mother. Miss Ada Lewis, Mr. Ilairigan-s
tamoas TovghGirl, who made the success of
"The Four Hundred," is fitted out with
many new dresses, but no new part a great
loss. As many negiocsand many Irishmen
fight and sing in tnepiece.it will last some
tf in", but it is not a genuine Harrigan suc
cess." Another of Archie Gordon's curious -works

has served Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew for a
first jrun in their new camnaijrn. It is called
"That Girl From Mex-'co," and, like most of
the new plav nowaday?, is "iounded" on an
old farce bv J. MaddUon Morton, tho En
glish farceVriter, who died tho other day.
Morton, by tho way, wrote an enormous
number of farces which have been acted in
England and here. Mr. Gordon has Belectod
"Wlio Killed Cock Robin?" it is commonly
chnrgod, and the critics do not give his
boil down or boil-over much praise. Still
the yonnjr Drews made a hit in it, especially
Mrs. Drew, who is being hailed as the com
ing comedienne.
A novelty comes to the Grand Opera
House this week in the shape of Herbert
HallWinslow's sensational comeuy urania,
"Birds of a Feather." which will bo played
by Marie Sailer, Charles Bowser, and a com
pany of well known people. The play con
tains a number of strong and thrilling situa
tions, while there is an abundance of fun
supplied by ten comedy actors. New scen
ery is carried by the company and a num
ber of mechanical and realistio effects will
be shown. A real cotton pin in full opera
tion will be seen in the South Carolina plant
ation scene. The well known minstrel,
Frank McNish, will appear in white face for
the flrst time, and will' also introduce his
wonderful pantomimic, acrobatio specialty.
In the third act occurs the most thrilling
sensational scene. A cotton warehouse is
in flames. A voung man is imprisoned in
the building. The heroine, who has been
locked in a smoke house across the load,
escapes through the roof, walks a sinele
telegraph wire across to the burning build
ing and rescues tho young man from tho
flames.
Richard Mansfield, one of the most ac
complished artists on tho American stage,
will appear with a strong company at the
Alvin Theater this week in this remarkable
repertoire: Monday, "Beau Brummell;"
Tuesday, "Prince Karl;" Wednesday mati
nee, "Beau" Brummell;" Wednesday night,
"A Parisian Romance:" Thursday, "Don
Juan;' Fiiday, "Beau Brummell;" Saturday
matinee, "Don Juan;" Saturday night, "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Mrs. Burnett's famous play "Little Lord
Fountleroy," will be seen at Harris, Britton
& Dean's comfortable theater this week.
Without any great moral it teaches senti
ments that are good, noble and true. The
company engaged to present the play this
season is Eaid to be one of the best ever seen
in the city in tho comedy. The title role is
alternated by Mabel Walsh and Lillian
Masterson, two bright talented stars. Chas.
A.IIaswin, as the old Eail, is also said to
display considerable talent and to portray
the role in an effective manner. The bal
ance or the support is composed of people of
recognized ability.
Harry "Williams Academy offers another
week of strong attractions on Monday. New
Year's week will be a notable one for tho
patrons of this popular place. The attrac
tions will be Sam Devere's Own Company,
an aggicgation of first-class artists and spe
cialists in thu best lines of variety business.
Those ever popular protean artists, Harry
Le Clair and Edward Leslie, will appear in
their original burlesque, "Antonio and Clco
patric." Tho "Belle of Bells," Mile. Carrie,
will appear and give performances on her
wonderful bells. Soyan and Kichfleld, tho
noted vocalists and dancers and Irish come
dians, aro members of this organization, as
are also the "Two Kids," Guyer and Good
win, who give a now and original act. Tho
Mexican wonder, Yauola, will exhibit his
remarkable skill in balancing. Those ex
pert aerial comedians, Lord and Rowe, will
startle audiences with their acts, and
"Chip," the "Bov-Wonder." appears at every
performance. Then there aro the Nelson
Sisters, dashing and attractive burlesque
artists. Finally, Piof. D. Burke's boxing
dogs give imitations of famous pugilists.
The wizard, Keutz, arouses wonderment,
and tho "Only Sam Devere" gives his inim
itable songs and sayings.

Mr- Irvino recently said that an inde
pendent theater, snehasa lot of cranks want
to erect in Boston and New York, in order to
produce their own plays, which no manager
with a regard for his life would dare touch,
must, to desorve its name, be independent of
actors, managers, papers, musicians and
public
"The New Twelve Temptations," Mr. W.
J. Gilmore's splendid spectacular produc
tion, with all of its wealth of scenery, cos
tumes, etc., will follow Harry Lacy at the
Bijou. It is claimed that its scenery, etc., is
all brand new, and that the ballets and spe
cialties are away beyond the ordinary.
Speaker Crisp, of the Houso of Representa
tives, is a biother of the lato Harry Crisp,
who used to play Captain Standiih so well in
Augustin Daly's "Pique," and who was the
original My Partner, when Louis Al
drich made such a tiemendous hit with that
play in the Uuion Squaie Thcatera dozen
years ago. Crisp was one of the handsomest
men on the stage.
When Miss Grace Filkins resigned from
the Rosina Vokes Company, all tho players,
with tho exception of Felix Morris, present

a most unusual thing for a band of players to

popular Felix Morris is.
