Miss Rose Coghlan will begin her starring
tour next Monday at Miners Theatre. New
ark, appearing as Jocelyn, the chatelaine of
Boissac; in her brothers new and original
romantic drama in four acts Miss Coghlan.
of course, has great faith in this play. She
has been diligently taking fencing lessons
from Senac, and preparing in many other
ways for the season. Miss Coghlan will have
no opportunity to display any of the modern
gorgeousness of costume for which she is
famous, and which, as she is never afraid of
telling her friends, do not come from the
potent but hackneyed Worth, but from
q New York source. The scenes of " Joce-
lyn are laid at Anglers, in Anjou, France, III
the year 1920. Manager Pitou on his pro-
grammes will furnish a little " explanatory
note" giving the history surrounding the
events set forth in the play. Miss Coghlnn
has n thoroughly good company, including
these names, Stanislaus STANCE, Wilton
Lackaye, Frank Rolleston,, Conway Carpen-
ter, Albert Roberts, John Malone, Maurice
Pike, Harry Gwynette, Charles Wilson,
Charles T.. Edwin, Frank Lander, Frank
Batten, George Tyler, Henry yandenhGtf,
Watson and Miss Viola Black.
Miss Layinia Shannon is a charming little
lady and it must simply be an iniudicIous
manager who has advised her to attach so many
frllls to the announcement of her coming
starring tour. We are told in the announce
Southern origin" and that she is q cousin of
the present Earl of Dunraven, and o grand
niece of the last Marquis of Thomond. This
will not help Miss Shannon in the least. The
little lady's company do not support" but
. assist y her. The assistance ought to come
from her manager.
The report that I" Captain Swift I" was to be
withdrawn from the Haymarket Theatre,
London. is said to be erroneous. The Merry
Wives of Windsor. i" which was presented by
Beerbohm Tree, of that house, a fact which
gave ground to the report, was given only at
u matinee at the Crystal Palace. Mr.. Palmer
is making extensive preparations for the pro-
duct1on OF :" Captain Swift" here.
Managers of combinations who are trying
to cancel their time IN the South are still tus-
sling with Southern managers. These unfor-
tunate gentlemen in almost every instance
have refused to cancel. 1t looks as though
there would be legal complications.
Nixon and Zimmermann, the Philadelphia
managers. say that they are not connected
with the management of The Midsummer
Nights Dream" to be given at the Star
Theatre Oct. 20, with the Chicago scenery
and most of the Chicago cast, secured by
Manager McVicker, of that city.
"Erminie has done wonderfully we'll in
Boston at Mr.. Stetson's Globe Theatre. The
first weeks receipts are said to have reached
$751; 900. Francis Wilson got an enthusiastic
reception, and may perhaps be pardoned for
feeling that Wilson was as much responsible
for this financial success as Messrs. Jaka-
bowski and Paulton.
Miss Estelle Clayton has been doing O good
deal of rehearsing this week at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, aided by the p~raiseworthy
Durant. The Quick or the Dead ?" will
undoubtedly be an interesting production,
or Mr.. Durant would not have taken SO large
a house for four weeks. Miss Clayton was
last seen in this city in her own ADAPTATION of
one of Rhoda Broughton's novels. This she
called "A Sad Coquette " and produced at O
matinee at the Union Square Theatre.
Ramsay Morris gets the enviable conjunc-
ton and" III the cast of The Tigress."
o nice fat part for himself, that of Barotti. the
ge~ntlemanly villain. The play is in four
acts and a prologue. Miss Fetter plays the
part of Stella, Miss Nina Freeth that of
Mime. Lanine little Mamie Ryan. Etienne,
and Miss Blanche Weaver, Angela. Thu bulls
show a gamboge tiger, and the letters forming
the name of the play are of the same hue.
But this printing is not beautiful, or what
might have been expected from Manager
Charles MacGeachy.
The souvenir presented by Manager J. M.
Hill to the Sunday visitors to the Battle of
Gettysburg" panorama is a I" complete his
