nlencing with a Christmas matinee, the great
est living trsgedienne, Jansuschek will ap-
pear for three nights and matinee The
Boston Advertiser says of the play to be pro-
duced by this great artistic at the Christma as
matinee: "If any proof were wanted Of the
original and self-sustaining force of Nine.
Janauschek's genius, such proof would be
found in the success which she has achieved
with Mother and Son. The character of the
Counties" IL Interesting and picturesque,
aud in the original novel has an imaginative
vitality and elevation which 1t shares
with no other Of Miss Brener's crea-
tions. The imperious pride, its passion,
its immense prejudice, its emotional
fervor, its sincerity, its occasional narrow
ness, its generous breadth, its intolerance
and impotence in small matters, its grand
fortitude in enduring grief and hear.-hunger
these traits, with all their seeming contra
diciions intensified by the power of tre-
mendous will, belong to a nature which few
actors in the world are capable of represent
ing. Nine. Jansuschek is one of these, and
her success avails for the whole drama of
which The Countess is so important a part
1t is now hut the third season since Mother
and Son was first played here, and already it
has an established place in Nine. Jsnaus-
chek's list" Christmas night will be pro-
duced Marie AntOinette;, Tuesday, Bleak
House; Wednt sday, Mary Stuart. Sale of
seats begins Saturday, December 231.
Katie Putnam.
Miss Kaiie Putnam appeared al Leubrie's
Theater last night in Lena The Madcap, be-
fore very good audience. Miss Putnam is
supported by an excel ent company, and while
her play Is by 20 means superior one, II il
not without brightness and sparkle. AS for
Miss Putnam, she is a very clever and at
irive soubrette, and of course contributes the
greatest share 10 the entertainment. G. S.
Coon was a good commodore Hail
Storm" Mr.. w. Fl. Murdoch a capital
Cloudy" Alfred Riel n fair "Thurs-
as the villain, "Dr. Krimshaw." Harry
Warren proved TO be good comedian, and
Misses Ada Lawrence, Agnes Kennicott and
frankie Norton were acceptable in their
parts. Lena, the Modcop, is a play which
gives scope TO the decided abilities of Miss
Putnam, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by
the audience. To night she appears as
"Little Nell" and The "Marchioness" in the
Old Curiosity Shop.
Pleasant Gair.
The concert and literary entertainment OF
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church will
take place tonight. The Cumberland
Church is noted for the exceliency of its en-
tertainments, and we have every reason 10
anticipate a rich treat tonight. 1t ia said
that several of the participants will fairly
surprise the audience by the excellence OF
their efforts. AS may be seen by the pro-
gramme published in yesterdays APPEAL,
the musical selections are not only irst-class
but are 10 be rendered by some of the most
talented of our local singers. Miss Reid,
of Nashville, is spoken of with the highest
praise as al elocutiouist of rare ability. She
will give selection. Those who like to pass
an evening pleasantly ought by all means TO
attend
Barrett and Tom Keene.
In n letter to Manager Robert Z Miller,
Lawrence Barrett declines to appear in the
dramatic festival to be held in Cincinnati
next April, if Tom Keene is allowed to
participate in il. He is willing 10 take the
chances OF dimming the luster of his histri-
onic glory by bringing it in contact with
Mccullough and Mary Anderson, but his
scholarly stomach rejects the democratic
Keene. Mr.. Barrelts action in this m after
is in thorough consonance with the rest of
his treatment OF his professional brethren.
The reasons he assigns for refusing TO play
with Keene are, that he does not propose 10
assist in eievating him to position he
considers MIN unworthy to hold, and that
by alternating parts with him he would
tacitly recognize him as an equal.
