THE THEATERS.
"Genevieve" Draws Large
Crowd to the TivOli.
An Entertaining Performance, Despite Cuts
Gunters 1.-Two Nights in Rome" - No
Changes at the Other Houses.

There was another change at the Bush
street Theater last evening, when Mr.. j. r.
Grismer presented Archibald c. Gunter's
melodrama in four acts, entitled 1.-TWO
Nights in Rome" We have seen it before
in this city. but under more favorable con-
ditions. 1t is good acting play, but, with
two or three exceptions, the work of
Mr.. Grismer's company was common
place. The great opportunities offered
the actor by the dramatist were not
taken advantage of to their fullest
extent. Though the character assumed by
Miss Phoebe Davies Evelyn Aubrey was
not the leading one, her superior ability
and sympathetic acting made it so. This
lady. some day, when she gets into proper
mana gerial hands, will be one of Americas
lie aiding actresses. She is an artistic with a
soul, and when we say that we say great
deal. 1t is really doing Miss Loyoa O'Con-
nor an injustice to cast her for such an
arduous and difficult part as Antonio, a
Corsican, sort of Stephanie de Mohrivart,
1t was easily to be seen from
her first entrance that she was over
weighted. 1t needed an actress of
Miss Jeffrey s-Lewis' powers to do JUS
tice TO it. 1t is really the leading role in the
play. but the lady engaged in its interpreta-
ton failed to give it the prominence it
should have received. The actress is not to
be blamed. She did her best under the cir
cumstances. We understand that Mr..
Grismer appeared in the same play some
wears ago in this city. In the Bush street
revival he takes the leading role. Gerald Mas
sey, young English artist, who afterward
becomes Sir Gerald Clinton. 1t gives a
leading man a fine opportunity. The gen.
tleman who assumes the character has to
contend with natural defect that often
initiates against his actng-an unsymp-
thetic voice. Some of his scenes with
Phoebe Davies suffered greatly on this ac-
count. OF the other gentlemen in the cast
Mr.. Scott Cooper and Mr.. Julius Kahn are
perhaps most entitled to mention 1.-TWO
Nights in Rome" will be repeated during
the week

"Genevieve de Brabant."

This work, among the most popular of
the many operas comique written by that
prolific composer, Jacques 0ffenbach, was
sung at the Tivoli last evening to a crowd
ed house. Although of German birth, hav-
ing been born in Cologne in the year 1919,
Ofenbach studied at the Conservative
in Paris, and his musical compost
tions have all had the characteristics
of the French light school, sometimes de-
generating into musical farce, but often
showing genuine comic traits. "Genevieve'
may be classed among the former. The
Instrumentation is clever, the effects of
sound peculiar, and the melodies. though
original, are trivial. As we heard the pro-
duction last evening it varies from the
French version in many places, both in the
music and action; but enough is retained
to make up a most agreeable performance,
the Orchestration being the most agreeable.
On the stage Emily Soldene, who
at the first created in the English
version the part of Drogan, soon esiab-
lished herself favOrite with the audi
ence, and, with the others in the cast, was
greeted with applause. ''Geneyieve" prom
ises to be one of the most popular produc-
tons the Tiyoll management has given us
in some time. The proceeds of the even
ing were devoted to benefit the French Ii.

Opera House. The new directorate of this
fine theater has evidently trump card in
that gifted actress, Miss Nellie McHenry,
who is fayorte wherever she goes.
Lady Peggy" the play now running at
the Grand Opera House. is much better
than several OF the melodramas we have
witnessed in the city lately. The capable
manner in which it is presented by Miss
Nellie McHenry and her company, together
with the superb and original scenic setting,
makes it very attractive and pleasing en-
tertainment. In LADY Peggy" Miss Nc
Henry has a part that in addition to its
humorous treatment, also calls for some
serious acting, and she admirably fills both
sides Of the dramatic picture. A number
of songs and dances are interspersed
throughout the play and add much to its
attractiveness. Miss Lora Hollis and
Messrs. Fred E. Queen, John Webster and
Russell Bassett afford good support to the
"star." Lady Peggy" will continue the
