Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1881-09-25

There is nothing new to announce In
the field Of amusements aside from what
has been already recorded in the columns
of the SUNDAY GLOBE. The Opera house
will remain closed until after the Obse-
quies of the president. The first attrac-
ton after that event will be the engage
ment of Miss Henrietta Vaders in tragic
roles, for which she is eminently fitted.
She will no doubt attract large audiences.
The past week has not been one OF re-
markable character. 1t opened with the
production of Furnished Rooms" The
death of the president closed the engage
ment at the end of the first night. But
falo Bill has had fair patronage for the
three performances he has given here, and
has deserved it, for his entertainment,
while open to the objection of being
somewhat sensational, has been clean
and wholesome one. "The Prairie Waif''
is not a great drama, and Mr. Cody will
not claim that distinction for it, but it is
an exception to most border plays in be-
ing devoid of all that will offend the most
fastidious taste Mr.. Cody is deserving
of the thanks of the public for his efforts
to elevate the frontier drama to it's proper
sphere.
Frank Chanfrau Is still playing "Kit'' with
good success.
The santley burlesque company is doing

"Hazel Kirke" has made hit at Detroit, as
it has in every city in which it has thus far
been produced.

Dillon to be heard from.
Signor Rossi has left his italian home for
America, and Americans are receiving the
commiseration of the Italians.
Annie Pixley is drawing good houses at the
East in IN Piss" and will doubtless make the
card win for the current season.

pany.

start out this week in new play, entitled "To

Harry Pierson is still playing leading
juveniles. It is many years since Harry could
lay claim to being Juvenile, but he is never
theless good actor, and holds his years well.

George Dowell, Harry Pierson, May Daven-
port, and Mary Shaw; Gus Mortimer, bust
ness manager.
Billy Emerson proposes to organize min
strel company of his own next month. His
past management has not been very success

him to abandon iAentlrely.
Lawrence Barrett is disguised with Pitts
burgh, and announces that he will meyer again
return to that city. At the same time the peo-
pie of Pittsburgh are Disguised with Barrett,
and hope he won't come their way for many
years to come.
Frank Mayo, in his tragic roles, is receiving
unreserved praise from the press of Rhode ISL
and. He has apparently struck his gait, and
as in melodrama he has always proved himself
a conscientious, painstaking artist, no one
will begrudge him his success.
While the Villas combination were playing
in Chillicothe, Ohio, last week, Agnes Villa
during an exciting scene in the play was re-
quned to calculate in tones of anguish: "Take
me away! Take me awayn' No sooner had
she spoken those words than youth in the
audience exclaimed, "Me tool" which caused
a shout of laughter.
