Richard Mansfield has certainly found
congenial role in Beau Brummell,
and that the performance is pleasing
one to the public generally is fully
attested by the crowds that flock nightly
to the Madison Square theater. The
central figure of the play, the gay and
handsome Beau, is work that, in the
hands of an artist like Mr.. Mansfield,
assumes prominent place among the
really great character studies on the
American stage.

season is: Clara Lane, JEANNE Winston,
Harriet Avery, Clara Wisdom, Marian
Langdon, Jennie Mallard, Bertha Sevoy,

II hn oY1th hor IF Thn
Master of Woodbarrow, with which
Sothern is nightly filling the Lyceum
Theater, New York, to its capacity, has
notified Manager Frohman that his new
play, which he is finishing for the Ly-
ceum company, will be done after the
holidays. 1t is a strong comedy-drama
and will call for Manager Frohman's
full acting forces. The play is not to be
presented until a season hence. The
Master OF Woodbarrow is Jerome's first
play, and has never before been pre-
sented, except at a trial matinee in Lon
don. nearly two years ago. So great is
the business at the Lyceum that extra
matinees will soon be given.
Nothing of late date in the way OF
comic opera eclipses the better specl-
mems of the old-timers, as the following
on one of them now on the boards Ii
New York proves: Only four more
weeks remain for the run OF Nine. Angot
at the Casino. The success attending
this production has been highly gratify-
ing. On the occasion of the fiftieth per-
formance, on Thursday evening, October
I'd, new ballet, arranged by Leon Es-
pinosa, and set to music by Gustave
Kerker, will be introduced in the carni-
val scene in the third act. Manager
Aronson announces that the roof garden
concerts will cease for the season on
Saturday evening, September 20. Re-
q hearsals of Poor Jonathan, the next pro-
duction, are now in progress.
The farce-comedy is still popular as
ever Judging by the following from the
New York Star on an old one
"there is much that. is pleasureable
in the news that Evans and Hoey are to
begin six weeks engagement at the
New Park theater tomorrow night.
These comedians were among the first
to leave the profits and pleasures OF the
vaudeville stage and to successfully ex-
plot the laughable features of farce
comedy, as it is designed by Mr.. Charles
HI. Hoyt. They have played A Parlol
Match from one end of the country to
the other. By their engagement at the
Hark, Lney are given Iie HiSo oPPoi
tunity to fill out more than one week
at Broadway theater, and, approaching
the possibilities of this engagement they
have re-enforced their already excellent
company and introduced so much that
is new in the way of songs, dances anc
dialogue, that A Parlor Match will
seem almost new play"

weeks in Chicago. The last two o
these weeks were put in at the big Audi
torium, where Bronson Howard's play
eclipsed all it's previous wonderful re
cords as money making and public-sat
isfying drama. The hottest summe
that Chicago has ever known had no ef
feet upon the size and enthusiasm of it,
audiences, and when destructive fire
