II. Clay Miner will to-day notify all man
ayers who have held time for Miss Helen
Dauvray-Ward that the vivacious little lady
will not appear Mt their theatres, it having
been decided that she will not be seen upon
the stage this season. Mr.. Miner says that
hhould this inconvenience managers to such
an extent as to oblige them to close their the
aires, he will supply some other attractions
from his long list of theatrical dolicacies.
Miss Dauvray's non-appenrance is something
OF a surprise "A very unpleasant one
TO the now-out-o of AN. engagement members
of her COMPANY. She had completely
filed her cast for lone of Our
Girls" Perhaps the one who is now the best
off is Miss Victory Bateman. She had en-
| gagged herself to Mr.. Miner, but prefeTredfo
accept AN engagement with Walter Matthews,
the new star, whom she joined on Saturday.
In Miss Dauvray's company was Robert G..
HillInrd, and Miss Lizzie Creese. Miss
Dauvray's ou.appearance is caused, II is
sa d, by the refusal of her husband. John
Ward, to sanction his wife's theatrical tour,
This may seem rather unElnd of the baseball
luminary. but as n member of the profession
tersely put it last night: IF you had a wife,
would you care to see her on the stage, when
you saw no necessity for it"
The cast to interpret Grattan Donnelly's
new farce-comedy, entitled Mamma" will
include Frank Deshon, Amy Ames, Della
Fox. MAY Duryen. Clara Washburn. Emily
Aiken. Mildred Meredith. Gus Homnessey,
William Sloane, Sol Aiken and Fred {.
Palmer. The season will open at Harrisburg
Sept. II.
Frank Mckee was in town last night. He
had been III Philadelphia to attend the !e-
hearsais of The EXilcs." While there Miss
Emma Vader, of the cast, was taken i'll and
obliged to resign from the company. Mr..
Mckee yesterday secured the services of
Miss Adele Belgrade in her place.
At one of the dramatic agencies yesterday
q reputable manager applied for a good actor.
These were his requirements; =" You must
play five parts, you must run the stage; as
you are not on III the first act you must stand
III front of the house and look after my inter
ests; you must pay your fare TO the town
where we open, and you must play for the
first week without salary" There is a large
crowd of unemployed actors at present upon
the Rialto, but this managers generous offer
has not as yet been accepted.
Denmau Thompson, at the Academy of
Music yesterday, still felt very sore about
the story of his alleged losses. DO you
knoN what ! am going to do 7" he said. II
intend to start q, paper one OF these. days
stauce. a story like that of my losing siSo, 900
is published in the dailies people will turn to
my sheet for correct information, and will be
satisfied" Mr.. Thompson Is very indignant,
as this will show.
Louis Aldrich last night told a friend, who
told somebody else, who told a third party.
that he intended going down with his lawyer
to-day to the Custom-House TO prevent the
landing of Richard Mansfield's imported
costumes, which arrived yesterday, and
which are to'be used in 4" Richard H." Mr..
Aldrich is anxious that Mansfield be not per-
mitted to give the usual bond. When o
manager imports costumes he gives a bond
by the terms of which the costumes are to be
returned to England after they have been
used. Mr.. Aldrich is ANXIOUS to make a test
case of the matter, it is said.
Little Mr.. B. D.. Stevens. of Col.
was SO elated that he at once announced his
intention of making a big plunge.
w. j. Scanlan and his company are now
rehearsing. They open at the Park Theatre
in Cleveland with Shane ma Lawn" Scan
after which he will devote himself to 'Myles
Aroon." The cast of "Myles Aroon " beng
smaller than that called for by "Shane-na-
Lawn one or two of those appearing in the
latter play will return to New York when it is
shelved. Miss Weathershy, who was last
season with The Stowaway." has been en-
gagged as Scanlnn's leading lady.
