RICE'S Sc KEVELS.s'
The novelty Of such an entertainment as thnt
found in Rice's "Revels" very soon wears on
When seen for the first time we may laugh at
the thin vi. in Its tingling rhyme, at the antics
Of the 'tconedians -; the eye may be pleased
with the briiiancy Of the costumes, the lime
lights, the tinsel,* spaneles, paint, blonde hair
padded tights, and general glitter. and the car
may be tickled with the music for little. But
tho best Of such pieces have only the etferves-
ceuce Of ginger-beer, and the etfcrVescence dis
appears as quickly with the one as with the
other. They are nude for d dny. and very
short day, too. The truth Of what we say has
been exempllfcdin the case Of Mr.. Rice. Last
year he came here with q large and an expen-
stve company. His show was placed upon the
sta9e In an elaborate manner. He packed the
theatre every night. This season the in-
terest has fallen away considerably; and yet
the piece has been given with the same scenery,
the Rarue costumes, and, except ia 9 few cases,
the same people are in the cast The patrona9e
Of such pieces as "Rorels' is IS chanReAble as
the style Of entertainment is volatile. Miss
Topsy Venn,' who succeeds Miss Atherton, has
been the centre Of whatever Interest there has

this recommendation was sufficient to obtain for
her more than ordinary attention. While she

TRAGEDY,S EXPONENT5,

Mr.. Thomns ". Keene, tho new tragic star,
and his company have been during the past
week busiy rehearsing for the opening Of their
season at the Grand 0pera~House in this city.
The opening piece will bo q Richard ILL., This
will be followed by "Richelieu," "Hamlet,"
..Othello," 1.-The Merchant Of Venice" and
"Julius Cussar." Although Mr.. Keene is only
known to Chicago people by his able support Of
Mr.. Booth somo, eighteen mouths ago and by
bis wonderful impersonahon Of Zola's realistic
Coupedu, IT issafe to say tina. the prospective I'D
vent OF no actor in many years has aroused
more general interest among the thoughtful
and the better patrons OF the drama than has
the announcement OF the prospective advent Of
Mr. Thomas ". Keene as star, and it is equal
1y safe to say that few men have ever trod the
American stage who have more industriously
earned the right to q considerate hearing. This
he will have, and, should his performances equal
the expectations aroused by the critics in Bos-
ton. San Francisco, and elsewhere, he will flnd
arivei und idiocy of the times, With the purpose
Of portraying the great creations which have
yen ths d. dn%a nobly aa M and staDty IT, the
that drama for all time will receive q
generous response from nil classes. The pinnacle
tho elder booth and Tho younger Booth is diia-
cult to touch. but to get at the pinnacle Is
worth an effort That the public taste for the
day when that drama is interpreted by oompo-
tent men and women there can be no doubt To
ascertain the truth Of this fact VIC have but to
glance ut the last seasons receipts Of poor
Nelson. Mary Anderson, John Mccullough, aud
Lawrence Barrett. The lack OF Interest on the
part OF play-goers in the higher drama Is not
SO much, as we have often said, attriputab!e to
a deterioration Of public taste MS to q deteriorH-
ton in acting ability; Critics, managers; and
actors who have seen Mr.. Kcene's Richard III.
all testify to the greatness Of tho persouauon.
One critic who witnessed the perfofmanco atthe
'ntsson Theatre last spring wrote: "Mr. Keene's
Raellard is electric. In some respects he
IS like Booth, but In tho rnAin the
it u star. part, as trngcdians do, .
he would to-day hava been the best upon our
stage. He, .was rewarded with thirteen cnlls.'
another writer in the Boston 1eruid, afluding
to the manner In which the audience received
the assumption, says he received mn amount Of
applause (which any theatrical star Of the first
one evening are compliment, y worth th.I having,
goers bold thus grand actor'' These are but
specimens Of tho general drift Of newspaper
comment. They certainly. to say the least, ln-
lieate that Mr.. Keene has unusual ability for
the line Of acting he intends to exclusively
take I'D.

from bis own books: Mr.. Hatton has consented
to appear ut q forthcoming entertainment nt
