DRAMATIC DRIFT.

The dramatic season in st. Paul opens
next week. The Peoples theater has
passed under new management, while
the Newmarket will continue to be run
by Manager Scott until the Arcade
opens. MIR. Harris, the new proprietor
of the Peoples. has reputation as a
successful theatrical manager. He
seems to have solved the problem of
cheap theaters with the Hennepiu Ave
hue house in Minneapolis, and if he
does as we'll with his st. Paul venture
our people will have no reason to COM
plain OF the change. He will open his
new theater here next Monday evening
with the Morrissey Opera company,
with Miss Pauline L'Allemand as prima
donna. After two weeks engagement
they will be succeeded by the Laura
Bellini Opera company. Miss Bellinl
will be remembered as the prima donna
of the Gypsy Baron company, and Miss
L'Allemand created favorable impress
sion here last season with the Boston
Ideals.
One of the most important dramatic
events of the year will be the advent of
Daniel Frohman's Lyeeum Theater COM
pany from New York city, who will
make their first appearance in this city
for one week at the Newmarket theater,
beginning Monday evening, Aug. Island
present their two remarkably successes:
Belasco and DellueliS American society
comedy 1.-The Wife," which ran over 300
nights at the Lyeeum theater, New
York, and A. w. PinerO's domestic
comedy Sweet Lavender" The sue
cess of the past New York season, hav-
ing been played at the Lyceum for
eight months. The company is COM
posed of twenty ladies and gentlemen
who are artists in the legitimate sense
of the term, and are now en- route East
after summer tour of the Pacific coast,
where they repeated their home tri-
umphS.
Next Friday evening there will be
dramatic performance at the Hotel La
fayette, to be participated in by men,
bers of the late Peoples stock company.
1t will be double bill, 1.-Two Can Play
at that Game" and "Sweethearts,"
with the principal parts taken by Har-
rold Russell. +. G. Huebner, Miss Aigen,
Will Marks and Miss Mccoy.
The old Peoples theater, which will
hereafter be known as Harris theater,
has undergone decided change already,
and everything will look as bright and
clean as magnificent new theater. The
exterior will fairly shine in white and
gold. The change in the interior will
be fully as great. The floors will be
newly carpeted in fine Administer velvet,
the boxes decorated and trimmed with
brass ratings and ornaments. With all
the changes and improvements st. Paul
will have as pretty a theater as they
make. Cleanliness will be feature of
the house, and one which has long been
needed.
