DRAMATIC NOTES.
New York Dramatic News, April IL.
The Man O'Airlie or Harebell was first pro-
duced in Boston at the Boston Theatre in
the spring of 1876, with Lawrence Barrett in
the itular role. The piece at that time
made strong impression upon the public,
but at that time Mr.. Barrett's engagement
was not pecuniary success; consequently
it has been remembered by only few. The
revival of this beautiful romance at the Bos-
ton Museum has been successful in no ordi-
nary measure. The houses have been good
and the applause enthusiastic in the extreme.
The fine setting and mounting by the man
agement we're worthy of the commentator
SO freely bestowed. Mr.. Barrett may well
be proud of the encomiums that have been
bestowed on his portraiture of Harebell,
both by the press and public of Boston.
Mr.. Barrett will appear by request as Ra-
phael, Alfred Evelyn, Shylock, and David
Garrick, at the Museuem this week. Fri
day nights performance will be for Mr.. War
rens benefit, when Poor Gentleman will
be played, Mr.. Barrett appearing as Freder-
lex Bramble, Mr.. Warren as Allapod, Mr..
Ting as Stephen, and Mrs. Vincent as Lu-
cretia McTab, the same roles which they as
sumed upon the occasion of the first appear
ance of Mr.. Barrel at the Museum, Aug. 9th,
1858. Katherine and Petruchio will be
given for an afterpiece, with Warren, Barron
and Annie Clarke in the principal roles.
Saturday afternoon, Merchant of Venice and
David Garrick, and Mr.. Barrett will make
his last appearance on Saturday evening as
James Harebell Amy Ames will hereafter
be known TO the theatrical world as Amy
Stuart The lady is stopping at the Parker
house in this city. Hand and Glove will
shortly be produced at the Howard. Charles
II. Clarke, who has been travelling with the
Wallace Sisters has returned to
his home in this city. That
excellent comedian, George S. Knight,
will play an engagement at the Museum IN
June, when Marsden's Otto will be the at
traction, for the first time in this city. It
is reported, but not confirmed that Louis
James will lead the business at the Boston
theatre next season. Growers Our Boarding
House at the Globe, April 9Th. Milton
Mobiles, in Jem Bludsoe, at the Howard same
date. During the past week over dozen
managers have been reported as leasing the
Globe theatre After Mr.. Stetson's retire
ment, from authentic information, there is
no truth whatever in the report. Frank G.
Cotter, who has made many friends during
his three sojourns in this city, will leave the
Museum at the end Of the present season.
| E. A. Mcdowell and Fanny Reeves will also
retire from the company. Georgia Iyler
will occupy the position of juvenile lady at
| the establishment next season. One of the
weakest opera bouffe companies that have
| been seen for some time was the Oates
Troupe. If Mrs. Oates wishes to succeed
she must gather around her a company that
has some attraction either in voice OF looks.
The Celebrated Case, at the Union Square,
New York, showed some abatement in at
tendance during the early portion of the
week, but as it progressed the houses be-
came, as hitherto, quite full again. There
is little doubt of this play running to the
end of the season. Maggie Mitchell has
been doing a very good business at the
Standard, in her imperishable Mignon. The
houses have been continually the best since
Mr.. Henderson has leased the house. It is
quite likely to be kept on for some time yet,
and we believe there would be no difficulty
in making run of it. So far as the per-
Torrance is concerned, Miss Mitchell never
played the part better.
A. Oakley Hall continues to lecture, anc
of late has been meeting with remarkable
degree Of success. On Saturday night hi
appeared at Steinway Hall to crowded
house. Next season he will probably yisi
all the larger western cities.
Leonard Grover will send another Board
ing House company for a tour through thu
northwest, where farmers are reported az
having more money than they know what t.
do with. The troupe starts out next week
and will only strike a few towns on its way
out. The engagement at the Boston Globe
has not been given up after all.
Several actors have arrived in from Mar,
Anderson's Southern tour, which was car
ried on to it's end. AS rule it was failure
pecuniarily. It had been expected that tn.
Southern girl'' business, which John T
Ford carried out SO dexterously last year
could be repeated. Ford, however, charged
ST., while this year $3.50 was charged TO-
Miss Anderson while Miss Davenport, il
the same towns, played to ST.. Miss Ander
son, however, who played on percentage o
the gross, has made money, while John w
Norton, we regret to say, is out rather heav
lily. But this is what comes of paying Ger
tainties to green stars.
