Joe Jefferson Opens in "Trip Van
Wrinkle" to a Large House. t9A
The magnificent audience, both as
market last night, was testimonial TO
Joe Jetferson's continued popularity Id
this city. Both the play and the story
of "Trip Van Wrinkle" are as familiar as
nursery rhyme, and yet it never loses
its charm. The same is true of Mr.. JEFF
ferson. Time has dealt very gently
with our great comedian, and his heart
is as gay as it was quarter ola century
ago, when he first made dramatic
figure of Washington Irving's
quaint literary creation that will
be lasting monument to him. The
charm of Mr.. JeffersOn's acting is his
naturalnesS and easy adaptability to the
role he assumes. He imparts to his
representations flavor of realism that
but few actors have the faculty of doing.
And it seems as he grows older he
grows more firmly in the part of "Trip
Van Winkle," with which he has be-
come inseparably identified. Mr.. JEFF
ferson has the good judgment always to
be supported by capable cast, and this
seasons touring is no exception to the
rule. Tonight he will play his dramat-
ization of Dickens story, 1.-The Cricket
on the HEARTH" to be followed by the
One-act comedy. "Lend Me Five Shlll-
ings." In the former he will take the
character of Caleb Plummer and liz the
latter that of Mr.. Golightly.
A fair audience assembled at the PeO-
pies last night to witness the desired
revival Of ga Scrap of Paper" which
attained such a success at the begin
ming of the regular season. The ele-
CANT stage settings by Bender and Lam
phear were as attractive as before. and
all the parts were well dressed. Mr..
Lipman. as Prosper COuramOnt, accent
fore, and Miss Young, as Susanna. was
delightfully."- chic and altogether at her
best. Mr.. Russell was sufficiently cold
and unSympathetic as the Baron de la
Glaciere, and Miss LIE BarOn's Louise
was charming. The others were uni
fOrmIy good, and Walter Hale, to whose
lot fell the part of Anatole, was de-
cided improvement over Mi. Wyngate.
The play will run during the remainder
of the week.
The largest crowd of the season wit.
messed w. G. Coup's Equescurriculum
at the Jackson street rink last night.
To say that it was an appreciative
crowd would not do it justice; it was an
enthusiastic crowd. Composed as it
was OF representatives of the wealth
and fashion OF the city, the enthusiastic
nature of the applause must have been
very gratifying to those who organized
the entertainment. This remarkably
show was never presented under better
auspices than at the Jackson street
rink; every scope is given for the full
display of the wonderful ability of the
horses and dogs, and the remarkable in
genuity of their trainers. Garfield post
have reason to be congratulated on the
brilliant success their benefit promises
to be-. ~.
