IHE tragedy for Lawrence Barrett on
wn'cn George II. Boxer has been at work
LOT a long time past, is now completed. and
will be seen for the first time in New York.
Mr.. Barrett's present intention being to
present it during his engagement at the Star
Iheater IN February. The tragedy is an
adoption from Bulwer Lytton's novel 1.-THE
The Last Days Of Pompeii," and has been
entitled "Glaucus." The eruption OF Vesu-
vlus will constitute the great scene of the
play, and from the models that have been
| MADE 1T is expected that the scene will be
quite effective. Mr.. Barrett has been play-
ing recently in Chicago and st. Louis. In
Chicago be revived "TLe Man o'Airle, !" and
made q notable success in his old fav orite
| character, James HarebeN He il now on his
way East to fill his New York engagement,
stopping in Philadelphia for the Christmas
holidays.
DURING Mr.. Barrett's engagement at the
Star, in February, he will also produce
victor Hugo's tragedy, Hermann" which
has not been played since Macready's
| time.
Miss MARY ANDERSON is a hard worker,
| If reports be true. 1t is said that if the
whole executive staff were swept off the
| stage OF the theater, Miss Anderson so
| well understands every rope, mechanism
| and effect on the stage, that she would be
| as capable of managing it as if going
through her part. She personally rehearses
her company-on many occasions en-
couraging the weak and prompting the for
getful with as much tact and energy as the
| most experienced stage manager. This
young lady scored another merit mark last
| week as Pauline in 1.-THE Lady of Lyons"
This being one Of her oldest parts, it has
received all the advantages of careful
| study and much rehearsal besides being
handled, as to the artistic value in q much
| maturer manner than when last played by
| mad by his gingerly acting as Claude.
One enraged newspaper man said that
| any living fellow after having been hugged
three times by Miss Anderson, who couldn't
muster up emotion enough to look as if he
liked it, should be fired off the earth" in
continently.
LOUIS HARRISON, brother of Alice Harss
rison, well known on the coast, is now
| nearly 80 years of age, and first made his
appearance on the stage at the Walnut
Z
10 years old. He is Philadelphia boy,
and his friends are glad to see how much
success he has won in his pr ofessiOn. Har-
| r;son plays farce, but he is very earnest
going fellow. Not long ago when he was in
Lowell, Mass, a local preacher attacked
the morals Of the stage. Harrison replied
in a very strong and well-written letter, a.
well as logical refutation OF the state
,nents made. In it he said: when Mr.
TO- o,,1 NJ npo n
in their MOI ais, l say it is false. Ny tather
was an actor and my mother was an ac-
tress, and two more worthy, God-tearlng
people do not exist upon the earth. And
they are no exceptions, either, for l know
hundreds OF Others"
OUT of his play, Skipped by the Light OF
the Moon," Mr.. Harrison and his partner,
John Gourlay, have made fortune, hav-
ing cleared about $4,000 in two years.
This year they are trying new play, an
English farcical comedy, which is known IN
the British provinces as Kindred Sou; SOUS. :,
the Frying Pan Into the Fire" The piece
ia represented as having been played several
hundred times in Great Britain. Their
business thus far during the present season
| is reported as having been very large IN
| deed.
"EyANGELlNE," now in it's second month
at the Fourteenth Street Theater, New
York, and playing to packed houses, olas as
| fair to run the season out. Inc song,
like It, Don't You," sung by Miss Fay
Temnleton. is specially liked. The Lone
| Fisherman is constantly introducing new
business, and Mr.. John A. Mackay az the
| Notarv. keeps the house in a roar with ms
new nuns on the topics OF the day. Ihls
revival of "Evangeine'' appears to be
great success, 1t has received new lease
of life. and if as much moneys is made OUT OF
| the new version as there was out o1tne oio'
Rice should be able to retire.
