Milton Mobiles Interviews
Last Evening.
THE Chimes of Normandy"
by the Hess Company.
General Summary of Dramat-
ie Notes and News.
INTERVIEWS.

Milton Mobiles and company presented
his new play Of Interviews or Bright
Bohemia last evening at Harper's theatre.
The audience was very large, aud the en-
thusissm manifested was something re.
markabIe for even the characteristic, en-
tliusiastic theatre-going public of Rock
Island city The play is one that proves
attractive, and as such it is credit TO the
and when the object is secured, the pro
duction is rated as dramatic success
The plot represents the life of reporter
who is supposed to be blessed with very
strange contradictory gifts; impudence in
a marked degree, propensity for lodging
the truth on all occasions and dramatic
idea of manly honor in refusing to love a
young lady simply because she is plenti-
fully endowed with worldly goods and
chattels. The play is more of one char
acter class than any that Mr. Mobiles has
yet given to the public, but as the audiences
appear to like the change, a criticism on
the departure would be out of place
The support was fair, with few excep-
tons, and these were dramatic sticks of
the first water.
The play. taken as whole, has many
good points and situations, and has so far
proved very remuneratiye venture for
its author and chief actor

The reader would no doubt be glad to
know something rs to the average nightly
business" done by theatrical companies
on the road. Ttwould be impossible, how
ever, to reach an average. Operate troupes
and great foreign artists will attract two
to three thousand dollar audiences ir
places of medium size, but the receipts OF
the most popular actors and actresses,
nadkgre the assurances of managers or
agents, are far below these figures During
Miss Nelson's last tour through this coun-
try the average receipts were close
upon $1,000 night, and these
left a handsome profit. Mime. Mod
jeska's last tour was considered remuner-
alive, and the nightly returns averaged
only 5000. The statements that Mr.
Brown, the famous actor, drew $4,000 in
one week in Chicago; that Miss Jones
Americas own tragedienne" a
twelve thousand dollar necklace out of u
fortnight's share in St. Louis, and that Miss
Robinson-who was born all along the Pan
Handle route, and consequently has claim
upon at least hundred western towns
warbled the dizettaatt of St. Louis out of
$4,000 in six nights and matinee, must
be taken, not merely with grain, but with
several bushels of salt. A great deal of
money is made by players and companies
whose gross receipts average $4,000 a
week and some contrive to exist upon their
share of much smaller amounts. It only
remains to add that the holiday and Len
ten seasons are accounted the worst period
of the year, although it isalmost invariable
the case that good performances draw well
at all times and everywhere, while Hl-or-
ganized and illmanaged attractions, and
also, sad to say, too t'high- toned" enter
tainments, have little or no chance of sur
viving the first three months of the fall
