MR.. HENDERSON'S HOUSE.
Something About the Academy's
History---Cora Tanner
and Her Play.

The death of Mr.. William H. Hender-
son, of the Academy of Music, will make
no change in the plan of management
under which that house has come to be
most popular and profitable place of
amusement. The managerial mantle has
fallen upon the shoulders of his son
Frank, who has long been connected with
the house, and who may safely be said to
be born theatrical man. Moreover, his
early training enlinently fits him for the
possession which the death of his talented
father has thrust upon him.
Both his parents are counted among the
leading theatrical people of the country,
and ever since his second year he him
self has been more or less associated with
the theatre.
During his fathers successful admins
tration of the Standard, of New York,
he was constantly associated with him,
and of late years he has practically been
the manager of the Academy, although
the elder Mr.. Henderson figured as such
in all the announcements.
Mr.. Frank Henderson began his career
as manager when a boy at Hasbrouck's.
His father organized comic opera COM
pany to go on the road one Thanksgiving
season and Just as the attraction was
about to start the man who had been
selected as manager became unable to go,
and Frank was sent in his place. All the
notice he received of his selection for the
position was his fathers injunction to
him in the afternoon upon his return
from school:-to pack his valise and start
right out with the show.
Frank took charge of the company
that night at Red Bank and the sagacious
manner in which he managed the COM
pany on that trip demonstrated that he
possessed the making OF tirst-class man
ager.
Henderson will continue in force at the
Academy, and everything will be done to
afford the citizens of Jersey City first
class place of amusement. Young Mr..
Henderson is already negotiating for
many of the new attractions which have
achieved success in New York. and those
which cannot be played this season will
certainly be put upon the Academy stage
next year. He also has his scenic artist
at work preparing new set of scenery,
and promises to keep all the appurten-
ances of the house in first-class order.
Cora Tanner in ssFascination.o
On Monday evening Cora Tanner will
present her charming and successful
play, Fascination" at the Jersey City
Academy of Music. In announcing Miss
Tanners appearance, we can say no thing
but praise for her. She is probably one
of the strongest attractions that plays in
Jersey City, and she should be. me
patrons of the Academy can always de-
pend on her bringing a good play, and
her company that she surrounds herself
with is always composed of the best
people to be obtained. "Fascination"
needs no words of praise from US. 1t was
seen here last season, and the public GER
tainly must have liked it, for the theatre
was simply packed at every performance.
The matinees were attended by the ladies
in such large crowds that at both the
Wednesday and Saturday matinees
people were turned away before two
O'Clock. Miss Tanner will play Easel
nation" all the week and at the matinees
Wednesday and Saturday. We would
advise people intending to see this hand
some woman and superb actress in "Fas-
cination' to secure their seats at once.
The company will be the same as last
year. The scenery will all be brought
here, and that alone is worth visit.
