AMUSEMENT WORLD.
What the Closing Season
Brings to Us and
TO Others.

This has been very quiet week in amuse-
ment circles. The reaction after the ex-
citement of the Musical Festival left peo-
| pie not much disposed to attend amuse-
ments, and both the Grand and Pixies were
closed the entire week. Sprague's Georgia
Minstrels did fair business at Heuck's
and this and the Vine-street Opera-house
were the only theaters open. Pixies is
closed for the season, but the Grand will
continue to present attractions for several
weeks longer.

have been playing at Heuck's with only
moderate success and will close their en-

sensational and thrilling drama "Davy

good performance may be looded for. The
New York Express says: "The fifth engage
ment in New York City OF Mr.. Mayo in his
play Of 'Davy Crockett is success almost
phenomenal. Every night before the rise
OF the curtain the sign standing room
only is posted at the theater entrance; the
reason of this is not difficult of solution,
for Mr.. Mayo gives picture that is at once
instinct with nature and art"
