LATE THEATRICAL NOTES.

There is some talk of Christine Nilsson
taking farewell tour in America very
shortly. 1t is also said in that case she will
be accompanied by Marie Van Zandt and
Mrs. Bernard Beere, who will give series
of readings.
j. L. Toole has gone to Queensland,
and thence he will 60 to New Zealand,
but he will return to play at Sydney and
Melbourne before leaving the colony. There
was n report that he would return to En-
gland by way of America, but we hardly
think that this programme will be followed
for the comedian las tried America before
and was not too triumphant. Mr.. Toole's
tour in Australia has not been the success
that was hoped.
Pauline i'Allemand, who owns villa at
Jocketa in Voigtland, Saxony, is the mother
of healthy boy, born September 9th. She
will be the prima donna Of the Hess Opera
Company.
The Mary Anderson Ranch on the Kiowa
River, in Colorado, is now almost abandoned.
Miss Anderson bought the place several
years ago, and stocked it with booded horses
and cattle, for which she paid thousands of
dollars. The property and stock she made
present of to her relations and placed a
half brother in charge. but it has been sadly
neglected, and is now almost wilderness,
abandoned TO the coyotes and jack-rabbitS
John l.. Sullivan Is to act in Australia and
England. j. C. Williamson, the Australian
manager, last week got the big Fellow" to
sign a contract, which calls for a twenty
four weeks appearance in the colonies, and
n twenty-SlX weeks engagement in England.
Eight OF the twenty-SiX will see Sullivan and
his company in London. 1t Is stated that
Duncan b. Harrison, Jack Barnitt and Joe
LannOn are also concerned in the contract.
The play will be a new one, and probably
the work of Mr.. Harrison. The company of
Honest Hearts and Willing Hands" will
most likely compose the party, which leaves
San Francisco July 1st OF next year. Will
hanson has The Australian rights in "Grit,"
by 4. and II. Backmore.
Benjamin I. Teal is writing q war drama
He has also been awaiting the completion of
the late Dion Boucicaults dramatiZation of
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" which he in
tended to place on tour as his own enter
prise. These ventures, with his stage Ill
rection of Blue Jeans " for Arthur and
Rosenquest, make Mr.. Teal very busy in
dividual these days. Mrs. Teal returns from
Europe this week, after summers outing.
1t is not probable that Denman Thompson
will ever again be seen on the road His
Old Homestead" now about to begin its
fourth year at the Academy, promises to be-
come Il fixture in the metropolis, and has
already yielded him prncely fortune In
addition TO this he has a snug income from
his road company. Besides, Denman is adj
vanciug in years, being now nigh three
score
Think Of the thousands of dollars, writes
FreuBd in the American Musician, these
good ladies have spent (alludng to star
actresse9. Think of the hours and hours
they have put in calculating on their clothes
and having them fitted, and then think of
Sybil tombstone in the "Clemenceau Case"
now being performed at the Standard The
alter, gaining Il national reputation by not
wearing any clothes at all-eXcuse meek
cept jersey and tights!
