Other Notes.
Few occasions in the history of the
Theatre have equalled the fighting
struggling, crushing scenes enacted in
the lobby in the rush for seats last
evening. 1t took half dozen police
men to restore order in tbs throDg, and
from till 8 the treasurer was busted
handing money back to those who
could not obtain seats.
Storm Beaten went in many respects
better than it has ever done before. The
acting was smoother and more rapid,
and the piece was finished fully half an
hour earlier than usual. The applause,
cheers, and tears were equally vocifer-
Gus. pronounced, and spontaneous. Tire
audience itself formed an amusing part
of the show to old theatre habitues who
were present; babies in arms were
numerous, but unusually quiet; gentle
men cowboys with hats on were not
unfreauent sights in some of the most
eligible seats; lovers counting assidu-
ousIy during the waits; one gentleman
attracted the admiration If the
whole house by straddling, thearim of
the first circle q la bronco, and,another
with new boots on, Who sat
in one of the fashionable SALTS eased
| his feet by removing his feathers,
| placing his gray stockinged red-toed
pedals upon The edge of the balcony he
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the eve
ming. There was everywhere the most
delightful freedom from constraint, and
| liberty OF manner such as are not often
| witnessed at the Theatre, and the loud
expressions of sympathy for Christian
and Kate, the excavations for Richard
and the outlaws over the Welshman
were worth the price o. admission to
listen to.

The following is the latest matri-
monial rumor about the lady. so much
of whose greatness is comprised in
similar paragraphs:-"There are more
reasons than the existence of Mr..
Lsngtrv and the necessity of obtaining
q divorce. why Mrs. Langtry will never
marry Fred Gebhardt. Time was when
the relations between these two were of
that character to give color to the sup
position, and l have no doubt, had
Mrs Langtry been free woman three
or four years ago she would have &C
cepted Mr.. Gebhsrdt's hand with q
good deal of enlpreSsement. But woman
IS tickle at the best, and it is darkly
limited that there is another masculine
attraction in the person OF 8 well-known
l,dashipg western sporting man, who has
completely cut out the enthusiastic
Fred Certain it is that at the West
End Hotel ball at Long Branch last
| Thursday, this new suitor constituted
himself her cavalier, and she hung
upon his arm the entire evening
while Freddie walked Up and
down on the verandah outside, casting
hasty and angry chances at the appar-
emily happy pair inside. Add people
at Long Branch who have eyes, look on
and smile incredulously when they heal
that Mr. Gebhardt and Mrs. Langtry
are to be married. On this marrisg,
point am quite willing to take Mrs
Langtry's word. She says emp2a ic Ally
that there IS not the slightest truIa IL
the story, and believe her. '-Londol
