is undoubtedly both q clever actor and
writer, buthe is not a universal genius, and
"Don Juan'' is not q good play. 1t is badly
constructed from borrowed lines of Byron,
Moliere, Dumas pere, and Merimee, and the
dialogue that glues these together is not of
the best. Mr.. Mansfield has tried to combine
farce, comedy, melodIama and tragedy,
and in attempting too much mas Jailed.
and youthful Sevillian gallant, and fails
himself utterly to produce the illusion con-
jured by the wayward Don Juan. The great
critics of the daily papers are, however, not
unanimous in their rerdictS. The Tribune,
the World and the Times praise both actor
and play unstintedly. The Sun, the Recorder,
the Press and the Journal call the play a
failure. The Herald praises the'actor-author,
and although it does not say failure, evil
IDENTIFY leans that way, while the Continent
fails to mention Mr.. Mansfield at all. Mon
roe and Rice, formerly joint stars, appeared
on Monday as rivals in two Broadway thea
ters-Monroe in "Aunt Bridget's Baby" at
the Bijou, and Rice in a piece called "a
knotty Affair." at the Park. The first is an
extension of "My Aunt Bridget" and made
a strong success; the latter, if whipped into
"go," will have to be altered considerably.

The last play of the regular season is to be
the somewhat notorious 'Clemenceau Case"
at the Bijou Theater. 1t is to be suspected
that considerable curiosity exists concerning
this piece, but only the performance of
Monday night will show how far the expecta-
tion of some, and the fears of others, is to be
realized. The other amusements of the
week are provided by trained horses at the,
Opera House, a detective play at Harris.

The Biiou Theater.

The story of the "Clemenceau Case "
which appears at the Bijou Monday night,
is that of an impoverished, eccentric and
worldly Polish Countess, who leaves st.
Petersburg at the request of the authorities,
and establishes herself in a fiat in Paris.
She has beautiful daughter, l6 years old,
by whose means she hopes to win her way
to wealth and luxury. She attends dance
in the salon of an artist, with her daughter
dressed as a page. A young sculptor there
falls in love with the beautiful girl In spite
of her mothers desire that she should wed
wealthy Russian Count, who has been in
love with her, she eventually becomes the
wife of the young sculptor. She apparently
gives all of her affection to her husband, and
poses as amodel for statue that is to make
his name famous. The unfortunate man ac-
cidentally discovers his wife's intrigues,
kills her lover and drives her away. He is
afterward induced to go to her house. She
refuses to fly with him, and he kills her.
This brief outline sketch will give an idea Of
the character of the play. 1t is decidedly
French in tone, and yet, if all that is said of.
it be true, it may be no more improper than
Camille which has been regarded as
standard play of its kind. The company
which will appear here is the same that gave
the play in Boston and New York, which
caused so much sensational talk. Miss Sybil
Johnstone will appear as la, the young
wife.

Harry Davis Museum.

For the coming week Harry Davis Fifth
Avenue Museum presents an entirely new
departure in the way of features. The curio
hall is to be turned into sort of an aquatic
receptacle and every afternoon and evening
handsome young ladies will compete in sim
gle sculls for prizes offered by the manager.
Boats have been prepared to which dials are
attached that register the progress of. each
contestant, and in this way the races become
not only interesting but often create the
most intense excitement Six young ladies
from various parts of the country, all of
whom are accustomed to rowing boats and
several of whom have won prizes for
fast rowing, will be in the races every
day. In addition to the lady rowers, Diet
rich, who is said to surpass the Davenport
brothers in mysterious Spiritualistic mani
festations, has been engaged.
The theatorium will be given over to Swift
& Russel's Dramatic Company. They will
present an entirely new version of Mrs.
SouthwoEth's famous New York Ledger story,
"The Hidden Hand" The play abounds in
exciting incidents and pleasing specialties.
The cast is said to be of exceptional merit,
new scenery and properties have been pre-
pared and patrons of this house may antici-
pate something of n treat in the way of a
dramatic presentation. Everybody has ad-
mired the plucky, handsome Cdpitola and
laughed at the eccentricities of the comical
darky Wool.

!: Grand Opera House.

Tomorrow evening remarkable horses
will begin q weeks engagement in the
Grand Opera House. Matinees will be
given on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
This is the largest show of the kind ever
organized, numbering 30 horses, 25 people,
a full military band and an orchestra. 1t is
now the only show of the kind, all others of
like nature having retired from the field.
Some of the feats done by these horses
puzzle all who see them, notably among
which is the solving of mathematical prob
lens by tine horse Sultan This animal tells
the time by watch or clock, the month and
the day of the month, and unhesitatingly
gives correct answers to sums in addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division put
to him by the professor and those in the
audience. But probably the greatest puzzle
of ALL as well as,the greatest favorite, is the
mule Denver. In the education of this beast
alone, Pref. Bristol has demonstrated his
superiority over all who have attempted to
teach the horse anything, for it is no easy
matter to teach a mule-he being chronic
kicker by nature. Denver, however ex-
hibits Intelligence of a high order, and
shows by his looks that he is full of fun. We
feel safe IN saying that all who go to the
Grand this week will enjoy rare treat.
