Special Correspondence OF Il 2 Ca tie.
! New YORK, Nov. 26.-An amusing little
mOnologue entitled Il Love, Thou Lowest.
| He Loves" written by Il. H. Sothern, was
| played by that actor at the Lyceum few
evenings ago. 1t was used as 4 curtain
| raiser 20 the Dancing Girl an extremely
| pretty but rather immoral play. which has
been on the boards of TIE Lyceum for some
time past. The success of the mOnologUe
! was SO great that Manager Frohman is
thinking OF making 1t permanent draw
inc card" The idea Is certainly as unique
| as it is original, as SOthern's only fellow
! actor is his dog ''Billie Boy" aud it is t.
him that he conides his love story
The success of the season, So fa-, is Lii
liam Russell in LA Cigale," an adaptation
from the French of Ardrian's Opera
Comique' of the same nlme The cos
tunes worn by Miss Russell are ravissante
her voice IS as sweet and brilliant as ever.
1t is q great pity that Sarah BernhardJ
was not able to secure a larger theater and
one more adapted to her magnificent per-
formances. During her six weeks Ell
gagement at the Standard theater she Will
La Tosco," CLEOPATRA" pauline
Blanchard, y Camille ''F'rou Frou," LA
Dame de Chalant," ending with Fedora"
Although Jeanne Dare was received
with harsh criticism in Paris two years
ago, it does not deter her from presenting
it here. Sardou's Theodore" is generally
considered her masterpiece, and was writ
ten especially for her by the great play
wright.
1.-THE discharge of Duquesne from the
company has been greatly deplored, as he
was the most finished artist in the troupe,
with the exception OF la Divine Sarah"
The handsome author of Pauline Blanch-
ard, ''Darmont," since the dismissal of
Duquesne, usually takes the role of the
lover, and for so young an atcor shows re-
markable ability.
Marie Wainwright, supported by Henry
Miller, has made 4 great success of the
dramatzation of Scott's ''kenilworth."
Miss Wainwright in the character of Amy
Pobsart made as pretty heroine as one
history, ends with the death of Varney
and the rescue of Amy from the tower of
Common Place.
another historical play of great worth,
but which has not pleased the public, is the
English adaptation of SardOu's "Thermi-
dor" The play, though literary success,
is too sad to attract the majority of New
York theater goers.
One of the many remarkably pretty tables
exhibited at the flower show at the Madison
Square gardens was decorated entirely with
large pink chrysanthemumS the table was
round the center being cut out and filed
was large bunch of chrysanthemums tied
with pink satin ribbon. The china, bon
bons and candelabra shades were all pink
The beauty of the table was heightened by
exquisite China and cutglass.
Among the pretty dresses seen at a fash
ionable reception was one of black and light
blue, that attracted special attention. The
underskirt being of light satin covered with
black muslin desoie with pin head dots of
pale blue and pink. The skirt was plain
except black lace ruffie headed with light
blue muslin desoie, and footed with black of
the same material. The skirt was fastened
to the waist by blue ribbon belt with but
terfly bows at the back, and long ends that
fell to the bottom of the demitrain. The
round neck and short sleeves were finished
with pufings of the same blue material. A
particularly pretty turquoise and diamond
necklace, dainty blue silk hose and satin
slippers with Jet buckles completed this
strikingly pretty costume
The latest thing in the way of outdoor
garments for ladies, is a gentleman's top
coat with tight fitting back and box front.
The materials the same as that used for
gentlemen, tan gray and musk. dark blue
broadcloth being the favorite colors.
Black hats trimmed in pale-blue and en-
riched by three ostrich plume brought into
style by the Wales court of arms, are great |
" n fashion. Small hats have ribbons that |
cross unOer the chin and are brought round |
and pinned at the back of the hat by a |
dainty brooch or stick pin. Feather boas |
are worn great deal, both for evening and |
the street, black being the most popular |
color.
At a fashionable wedding lately, the |
bridesmaids wore pretty gowns of pale pink |
bengaline trimmed with chiffon Of the |
same color, and carrying large punches Of |
La France roses.
The boutonniere of the season is large |
bunch Of chrysanthemums worn by both Ia |
dies and gentlemen. This flower takes the |
place of the violet and orchid that were so |
popular the year before.
The heart that was such fad last year in |
the way of jewelry is gone and the bow
knot has taken its place. Brooches, watch |
pins, stick pins, garter buckles, hat pins,
hair pins, pearl necklaces with the strands |
caught by diamond bow knots md every |
other conceivable article Of iewsry is being
worn in this shape. C. H.
