The above are the theatrical attractions for
this week.
Much interest is felt In the engagement of
Clara Morris at the Bijou Theater this
week. It has been three years since she was
last here. All reports from the East state
that she is now in vastly improved condi-
tion of health, and that with her increased
physical strength, her artistic work, always
remarkable for its intensity, is even still
more so. She will be seen here in her three
favOrite roles: "Camille," Renee De Moray"
and Helene a new play written for her
by a young American lady, Miss Martha
Morton. This play is one of remarkable quail
ties, being intensely ingenious in its construc-
tion and uniting with the peculiar character
necessary to display the powers Of the great
actress, considerable comedy element. Her
supporting company Is ny far the best she has
ever had, headed by Fredric de Belleville and
including such well known players of the first
class as ]. NJ. Colville, ]. g. Saville, Werner
Charges. Oliver Westford, John Elliott Mitt-
ems Willet Octavia Allen, Kate Massig, Beatrice
MOreland and others. The advance sale OF
seats is already so large as to indicate q very
brilliant engagement.
That popular comedian, Mr.. Nat G. Goodwin,
will appear at the Opera House next week in
his latest and said to be his greatest success,
entitled "a Gold Nine" From our exchanges
we learn the play has made q success, both
East and West. In the leading role, 1t Is said,
that of StLds Z. Woolcott, Mr.. Goodwin finds
character more suited to his various talents
than any he has ever impersonated. Favortte
as he is here, and appearing in this higher
class OF work, he ought to do well. The dia-
logue IS said to be brilliant and worthy that OF
any modern comedy. II Is stated that MI.
Bronson Howard called 1t the best written
piece he had seen for years." and Mr.. Dion
Boucicault gave 1t even higher praise, for he
declared it to be the ''best American comedy
he had ever seen.
The powerful drama of my Partner viii be
at Harris Theater this week. The play is GER
tainly best effort Of the renowned dramatist
the late BARLEY Campbell. The company is
composed of frst-class people capable OF giving
the drama in thoroughly satisfactory manner.
