Fred Warde,s New Play.


The Lions Mouth" secured by Mr..
Frederick Warde, is considered by Mr..
Henry Guy Carleton, its author, his best
work. The place of action is Venice. 1t is
original and strong in its situations, while,
as the following extracts, which We find in
the New York Mirror, amply prove, the
text is noble, pure in dictiCn and full OF
thoughtful uttsrances:

The theatrical companies playing in Geor-

them to pay SOS for every town in which

Bows at the Opera.

President Mcdonald of the Pacific Bank
conceived the good-natured idea of giving
the rising generation, by and large, an
operatic treat on New Years day, and to
carry it out sent for Manager Hess, whose
company is now playing at the Orpheum,
and bargained with him for matinee, at
which his peolle were to sing The b.
hemian Grip for the delectation of the
little fellows. They came TO the theater in
crowds, which represented the entire juyen-
lie fraternity. Delegates came from the
District Telegraph Office, from tbs Western
Union and Postal Overland, from the
schools, from the various small industries,
Including liberal sprlnkllng Of smutty-
nOsed members of the Shoeblack brigade.
But we cannot agree with Chateaubriand,
who says that youth, the morning of life, is
like the dawn of day, full of purity, of
imagery and harmony. On the contrary,
these Youngsters kicked up an Internal row.
Every nook and corner IN the auditorium
was filled with active, restless life, and
from all sides came strange noises which
only the street gamlns can invent and
perpetrate with Impunlty any and every
where. The boys accompanied the choruseS
with pedal obliSatO, they mimicked the SOLO
lists and initiated the trombones in the or

force order. The singers themselves tried
TO do it from the stage, but were discounted

the chorus lyrically described the joys Of a

uproarious appreciation. Every boy in tile
auditorium wanted to be gypsy right off.
That kind of lie was just in their hand.
And so the performance OF Balfe'S opera

There was sensation at the Lenox Ly-
ceum, according to New York dispatch Of
December 23d, published il the Chicago
Herald, and all because Campanini failed to
take the high c in the "Salve Dimora," and
went off the stage clasping his hand to his
forehead as If he had committed one of the
mortal sins against musical art. IL was of
course very natural that the failure should
have caused the excitement, but then the
wonder was that the tenor should have at
tempted a feat that he really had NO neces-
sity of attempting at all. Signor CAM
panini has, as everybody knows, just re-
covered his voice, and those who listened TO
his rendering of the Faust aria last night
were perfectly delighted with the charm
and artistic beauty with which he sang it up
to the point where he came to stone wall.
There is no tenor on the concert stage to-
day who can sing it better, and the only re-
greet was in the vast audience last night that
he should have tried to do what is unneces-
sary. and to imagine that New York musi-
cal audience demands high c as well as
the most perfect art.

Martha Miss EJnei Brandon
Briefly stated, the action Of the play CEN
tiers around the life of Martha West, a
young schoolgirl who is led astray by a
hbertine, and who meets his death at her
hand at the ED of the first act but so in
geniously IS the plot woven that the perpe-
traitor of the deed is not discovered until the
last act, aud the secret is only made known
then by The confession of Martha. Il is dis
closed just ID time TO save an innocent man
from conviction for the crime. Among the
most striking tableaux are the departure of
a regiment for the war from Cortland-stre
Ferry with full military band, the return
OF what is left OF the rank and file after hos
ulitles have ceased, the arrest of the suS-
pected murderer, the courtroom scene dur
ing the trial. and the death by poison of
Martha in the last act. In this scene Miss
Ethel Brandon does some painfully realistic
acting on which the curtain falls.

The demand for stationary electric
motors is something enormous, and one
firm having headquarters ut New York
reports that it is two thousand motors
behind orders already received, and
that other orders are pouring in from
all sections Of the country. The motors
arc used for all sorts of purposes, from
the beating of carpets to the chopping
mp of sausage meat. A large number
of orders are received every week from
printers, and it is estimated that at
least two hundred newspapers are
printed by presses run by electricity,
while thousands of job offices have dis
cardcd steam power for the new and
compact motors.
