MUSIC AND DRAMA.

@
Col. J. H. Haverly, the theatrical mana
ger, is in Colorado looking after his mining
interests.
SEALED Instructions the MadisoA
Squares great success, has been withdrawn.
It will probably be put upon the road now.
The Zoe Clayton Mazeppa company has
bankrupted them and the business Of Den
yer was not sufficiently large to recoup the
loss.
Harrigan and Hart separated finally on
Saturday night, after a weeks engagement
at Colonel Sims Park Theater, Brooklyn.
Seems almost like the separation OF a long
welded couple to see these old-time part
ners dissolve.
Bernhardt considers her Theodore" the
best OF all her many conceptions. She IS
under an engagement to play twelve times
in London in each OF four years, and will
try to score her greatest success i'll the
above named part.
The benefit business is being worked to
death. Lillian Russell is to be thus hon.
ored now, probably to defray the expenses
OF her wedding trip. She will appear in
"Billee Taylor" the best of her husband,
Ted Solomon's, productions.
Lizzie Mccall, who, it will aforementioned,
0IOV AC1 D6AO3 VII w VA 0SCANVANCAuy3
two OF three years ago, has remarked. 1t
is hoped that her future matrimonial con-
n~ections will terminate happier than did
the last, for Lizzie Mccall is q charming
woman and a good actress.
Old man Couldock, who has become
famous by his representation OF Dunstan
Kirke in Hazel Kirke," one of the best old
time actors in the profession, will travel
next season in "Willow Copse," one OF his
great successes. Among his company will
be Raymond Holmes, Carrie Turner and
A. l.. Lipman..
Freddy Schwab threatens to annihilate
Mile. Nevada because she says that Schwab
attempted to blackmail her. Schwab is
very wrathy. We fail to see why he should
grow so violent when a woman makes such
a charge, considering the number Of men
who have said the same thing OF him dur
ing the last five or six years.
A gentleman who saw Fred Warde at
Missoula, Monday evening, informs us that
he gave a fine performance, and that he is
equal to John Mccullough when that gen.
tleman was at his best. Mr.. Mcguire, who
also witnessed the Missoula performance,
was so pleased that he determined to play
Warde here for nine nights, instead of six,
beginning on the 18th, instead OF the 22d
instant. Mr.. Warde will do an immense
business here.
Speaking of the Barlow and Wilson min
strels, which will appear here during the
latter part of the month, the Fargo Sun
says: every part of the entertainment,
while %laughable in the extreme, was perfect
ly chaste, and void of anything like rude
ness or r%oughness. There are about twenty
self, while Wilson is the king of wits and
mirth and would be a good show all by
himself. The audience were enthusiastic
and the encores hearty"
The secret of Miss Ellen Terry's separa-
ton from her first husband, the artist
Watts, is out. According to the veracious
New York World, his family were opposed
to the match, but were induced to be
reconciled, and a family gathering celebrat-
ed the reconciliation. Watts being anxious
that his young and beautiful wife should
make a favorable impression on her intro
d~uction, asked her to appear in her best
form. To the amazement and consterna-
ton of Watts and the family assemblage,
saw her no more.
Speaking OF Fred. Warde in ''Virginius,"
the Chicago Tribune says: Monday even
ing, at the Grand Opera House, Frederick
Warde made his first appearance in Chicago
as a tragic actor, and was greeted by very
good audience that welcomed him warmly.
He chose as the opening play Knowles
tragedy, ''V%irginius"-a play that the
theater-goers of the present day associate
with John Mccullough. 1t is but natural,
then, that his performance OF the character
OF the Roman father should be compared
with that OF MI. Mccullough, and itmay
be said that Mr.. Warde's impersonation
does not suffer by the comparison. He is
possessed of a more sympathetic voice,
and in the strongly emotional scenes he is
seen at his best, but the earnest, consci-
entious work of the actor is recognized in
every scene. As a whole Mr.. Warde's per-
Torrance OF "Virginius" is to be highly
commended as a careful and conscientious
piece of work."
