ton We have to encounter in the

but we have confidence in the names
of our artists, anu in the public SYM
patty for home entertainments

fOrmance.
NOTES FROM THE STAGE.
The Wages Of Sin is successful in
New York.
Effis Ellsler, her husband, and
Henry Lee come west on starring
tour in August.
Kiralfy states that Excelsior has
been played 300 times to gross re-
ceipts of $4,000.
DeBelleville comes west as Monte
Cristo, and will then have four
weeks allowed him to prepare for
the Silver King.
The Home Clubs performance on
Friday evening, and the Choral So
ciety's concert on TIE following
Monday, are both set for $50, stand
ard time.
No one should allow it to slip his
memory that reserved seats for the
Daughter Of Jairus will be sold to
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock at
Geo. Careless & Co.'s store.
The Theatre hiss secured one Of
the biggest attractions on the road
for Wallacksfull COM
pany in Lady Glare; they come in
August, a month which, at this
house is brimful of attractions.
Mademoiselle Rhea is highly
praised by the San Francisco press,
but her accent is said to be more
pronounced than either that of Mod
jeska or Janauschek One writer
calls 1t q sort OF Babel uttsrance, or
unknown tongue.
We hope that the next variety
company who have any dude song,
songster or sOngstress among them,
will be denied sdmittance to our
theatres. We profess to have
sense of the humorous, but
the frequency of that sort of feature
of late has begun to pail upon the
understanding.
Mr.. Arthur Wallack, on his return
from London said: sT really felt
proud of our few stock companies
here In comparison to what found
over there: as to the mounting and
scenic work, [ do not think they
can compare withius, and Days,
Union Square and Wallack's stock
companies compare favorably with
they have"
The World Is responsible for this
hit at the style Of plays now in
vogue: dramatic work seems to be
running to physiology. We have
had the Hearts of Oak, The Lights
D London and The Pulse of New
York. Perhaps some ambitious
1ramstist will have the nerve to |
give us The Lungs of Hoboken or
the Liver of Weehawken."
Herne IS one of the most versatile |
actors on the boards. He has a pa
iheiic character in the Hearts OF |
Oak, plays Rip Van Wrinkle with |
equal ability, and his Scion Single
and Bill Sykes-the latter once
9layed here in . memorable repre-
with Lucille Western as
Nanoy-are characters in which he
6 not . jot behind his other repre-
entations.
Sir Michs ell Costa, the wellknown
English composer and conductor,
lied at Brighton on April zSth, aged
a years. He was born in Naples
md of Spanish descent. Costa has
written numerous operas, can atas
md ballots, but will be most favor
IDLY remembered as the composer OF
he oratorio Eli. He has resided in
England since 1929, becc ming an
English subject in 1889.
David Belasco, now the successful
tage manager Of the Madison square
heatre, and the author OF the phe>
success, May Blossom,
mis- upward career with
derne several years ago on the
Coast. The two came to this city |
and with Miss Corcorap
Mrs. Herne) produced a strong
)iece He'd Chums. Belasco wan |
Tered away fro II the company after |
hat, but Herne stuck TO Chums,
Kept remodelling it from time to |
;irne, and the result is the Hearts OF |
Oak Of to-day.
The follow Clipping conveys
some idea O, the nature Of SPEC
,acular piece which is shortly to be
