NEW YORK, Sept. lion Oct. IS Italian
! opera of an eXtemporized kind comes
| upon deck at tue Academy Of Music. 1t
is called the Angelo Company and Is I'M
der the musical management of Signor
Angelo, who was formerly with the Ma
plesOn Company Nine. Giulia Waldo is
10 be the prima donna and Signor Clan
mini the tenor.
To all of US here who know the whirl-
! pool of Fourteenth street there comes a
sense of pity for these well-meaning peo-
! pie. We simply recall the fact that
! Italian opera never yet paid expenses at
The Academy. 1t always depended on the
stockholders to see il through, and they
never did.
| The other and more immediate event is
| the appearance OF Mr.. Nat Goodwin at
the BiiOu Theatre in Little Jack Shep-
! pard." There is great deal of interest
| felt in this because Mr.. Goodwin is be-
| lleved by large part of the community
to be the immediate rival of Mr.. DiXey.
Mr., Barrett is playing rather quietly here
in bis old repertoire, and the new piece
! produced at the Fourteenth Street Thea
ire, called ''Our Rich Cousin" has been
generally disappointment.
On the vulgar side Of public curiosity
there Is some impotence to witness the
entree of the two English beau ties, Miss
Violet Cameron ana Miss Fortescue,
who have been advertised here in advance
mainly by reason Of their amours abroad.
One goes to the Casino, the other to the
! Lyceum Theatre.
The management Of Miss Cameron has
acted throughout as If that lady's irtl-
macy with Lord Lonsdale-who by the
4.
of more account than any ability she
might possess.
The assumption here is a shameful one,
and l honestly believe unwarranted. IL
Miss Cameron does not prove herself a
clever actress, all the lords of England
cannot save her from an American fail
ure.
found Miss Dauvray, who produced
Bronson HOward's new comedy at the
Lyceum Theatre late in the season, In her
| bijou office the other morning. She had
ljust come back from Paris, where she
has been looking over the whole dramatic
| ield.
| Her search for novelties rather dis
! outraged her. She says there is nothing
| new or noble at present on the other side.
Mr.. Louis Aldrich and Frank Curtiss,
| who also came back few weeks ago,
too me that they had taken in Paris, Vi
! erna, Berlin, London, with money to in
veat, and came back without purchase,
! 10 hear the best play of the century read
on ibis side. Nat Goodwin told me the
sane thing. Kate Forsythe, fresh from
the iteamer, said Irving's Faust" alone
! lntetested her. Almost everything else
wore a cheap and tawdry look.
But out OF fifteen plays announced for
| production here this winter, twelve are
English or French "rechacetes."
To give you an example OF what it is
| peases September audience In New
! York, may mention the fact that the one
incidentIn the new play at the Fourteenth
! Street Theatre that made hit was the
attempt of a girl who wanted to smoke
n cigarttte to light a match as a man
| lights It.
| DO you know how man who is q cigar
| cite smoker lights 1t?
WE'LL can't show you with pen.
MIR. Wilson Barrett, the coming English
actor, continues TO flood New York with
reports Ia advance. The literature that
is now here on his life and abilities would
| equal Benton's Thirty Years"
