MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.


Wrss COnWay's BrOOklyu THEATRE
The playgOers OF the City OF Churches have
right to be thankful 10 the enterprisng manageress
OF this cosey little theatre for the remarkably eec
tive manner In which she has placed on the boards
one or Brougham's most interesting romantic
dramas. 1.-THE Dukes M0rton has an already estab-
lished reputation and no longer needs the recon-
mendaton OF the critic Its plot full of incident
We are carried along from the moment the curtain
rises till It falls without interest or attention
nagging for moment. Though our fears are often
awakened for the possible fate OF the leading per-
sonages, there IL nothing narrowing IN the sus-
pense In which we are held. There is just enough
excitement to make the happy denOueTnef.t well
come and to set US at our ease by the ultimate
triumph OF love and the punishment OF the wicked.
This play has been admirably gotten up. All the
resources or stage carpentry and the scenic artists
brush have been called in TO ald with such success
as to leave nothing TO be desired. Mr.. Frank
Roche, promising actor, fills the role OF Henri
de Lagardere, and Mr.. Lamb as Hector PeyrOlles,
enters completely into the spirit OF The character OF
the cOwardly bully. Blanche de Nevers was played
with quiet consciousness by Miss Ella Burns, Zil-
lah, the gypsy girl. being represented with spirit
by MISS Minnie Conway. There will be matinee to-
day ana on Saturday. for the convenience OF those
who cannot attend the evening performances.
Those VINO have not seen this charming piece ought
not To lose the opportunity. as Will be replaced on
Monday by "Bel DemOnio," another play or q SINH
lar character, also by Mr. Brougham.

Franklin and she Idler.

The following story il told of Franklin .
mode of treating the animal called in those
days '1ounger," which il worth recording,
even IN this age and generation. One fine
morning while Franklin was busy prepar-
ing the Newspaper for the press, . lounger
stepped in the store and spent an hour OF
more In looking over the books, ETC., asked
the shop boy the price,
Zone dollar waA the answer.
Zone dollar, said the lounger cant
you take less than that r.
"No indeed one dollar il the price. =
Another hour had nearly passed, wher
the l0unger asked:
"Is Mr.. Franklin at homer
"Yes he in in the Oflce, !"
"I want TO nee him = said the lounger
The shon boy Immediately informed Mr.
FMnkhn that gentleman was IN the stOr,
waiting to nee him. Franklin was soon be
hind the counter, when lounger, with ,
book in hand, addressed him thus:
Mr. Franklin, what II the lowest yOV
can take for this boOkf'
One dollar and q quarter !" was III
ready anawer.
Gone dollar and quarter Why, you
young man asked ma dollar"
"True, said Franklin, "and l cOul,
have better afforded to take dollar the
than to have been taken out OF the Office.
The louhger seemed surprised, and wiah
ing TO end the parley OF his own making
said
"Come, Mr.. Franklin, ten me what
the lowest you can take for It.
Zone dollar and half ~
"A dollar and . half why you ofFere
1t yourself for dollar and quarter"
"Yes, said Franklin, and had be-
ter take that price then than dollar and
half now"
The lounger paid down the price, an
went about him basinesa II he had nny
and Franklin returned into the printin
Office.
