theatres and amusements, while on
the road bright town or city that
has a nice theatre and an amusement
loving public, the resident manager
wishes to get the best attractions
possible in this way. Come one
come ALPS the motto In q way, still
discretion must be used in every
possible event. Still using all eau
ton fly. blnite so called, will creep
in, for this is large country and one
cannot travel 1t thoroughly making
regular stops in regular theatrical
season, which generally runs from
thirty five to forty weeks.
We have not in the country today,
Edwin Booths, Mary Anderson's or
Maude Grams gers enough to cover the
ground, even so, the average theatre
goer would tire of that line, therefore
others gain their living.
This is the point, how 1t Is, that
the outside world SO often put the
people of theatrical calling, no matter
who or what they are, "only actors".
Maude Granger produced her new
play, Gabrielle" at the Academy of
Music, New Orleans, last week, and
scored one of the most artistic sue
cesses OF her grand career. She will
mold the boards at the Grand Opera
House Monday and Tuesday evenings
of next week, and will also give q
special matinee for her lady friends
and admirers Tuesday afternoon. Her
repertoire will be Monday evening
and Tuesday matinee, Lucy Hooper's
and Ricnard Davey's successful emo
tional play "Inherlted," which she
won such favor in here on her last
visit. Tuesday evening she will ap
pear in her new play, by Mrs. Eta
Henderson and Miss Mathllde Est
van, "Gabrielle." This play is of the
French motif and said to he really
worthy tue pen of a Sardon. The title
role offers Miss Granger one of the
stronget emotional roles she has ever
played.
Manager Mullaly and Maud Gran
GERS business manager, Frank G
Thayer, were seen in close converse
ton yesterday in front of the opera
house. Going to bury anybody"
said passing friend to the genial
Tom. mo" he replied briskly,
"onJ Y I would like to have a chance
at one of these theatrical agents, but
they seem so tough from hard usage
that nothing bothers them. Mr..
Thayer here just fell tn ough trap
on the stage about fifteen feet, and IL
now asking my advice on getting his
life insured. Think he better save
the cost and buy peanuts"
f. s. Willard, the English actor
imported by A. NJ. Palmer last year,
played to over $4,000 last week, at
HoOley's theatre, Chicago. II Mr.
Willard keeps Oh at this rate he will
be able to return to ould England be-
fore long and receive Victoria's con.
CALCULATIONS and be received at court.
Agnes Huntington's difficulty with
the New York customs has been
brIdged over for the present. This
bright young woman was great
faVorite with the Baroness Won
COutts and London society papers
had 1t time ago that q theatre WAS
to be built near Henry Irving's fam
Gus play house in her honor by the
Baroness. Miss Huntington in re-
tur ling to New York this time
bro light some very sumptous Partisan
costumes with her, and tried to pass
them through the customs as tools of
trade. This thing has been worked
so much that the custom officials
said, nay, nay my pretty maid.
Something like 81 500 was collected
from the management of the fair con-
tralto diva.
Prospects point to a very brilliant
theatrical season for San Antonio
theatre-gOers. Manager Mullaly has
some of the best attractions on the
road booked for his pretty and popu-
lar house.
He showed me his list yesterday,
and he certainly is straining every
effort to give his patrons the best the
affords. FRITZ
