THE MANAGER TELLS OF LONDON, PARIS, THE
NEW THEATRE AND LORD TEN
NYsON'S PLAY.

Everybody in the DAILY company Is well Miss RehaD
looking and acting better than ever and the company
has pleased London more than ever before. This is
the pleasant substance Of the brought by Augustn
DAILY, who arrived here yesterday on the Umbria Mr..
Daily left the company playing "As You Like IT,
The Last Word was great success as the AmeH-
players achieved In London, and might easily
have occupied the full time Of the engagement, but
there general desire to see Miss Relsn again az
Rosaind. so "As You Like IT. was put for
short time The engagement at the Lyceum Theatre
began with A Night on and these three plays are
all that have been given. Many wished to see The
School for Scandal manifested by paragraphs
in the papers and suggestions at the box Office, but Mr.
DAILY did not think 1t best 10 vary the bill while
the success Of pieces directly produced marked
As You Like IT. will be played till Friday Of this
reek. On that night The Last Word VIII be giver
once more, and then the company Will take midnight
train for Liverpool, and will sail for home SATURDAY
on the Etruria. Mrs. Gilbert, who had no part in
AS You Like It," came on the Umbra. The sea-
son here will begin some time in the week fol-
lowing the arrival Of the company, but the
exact night Is not yet decided upon.
Mr.. Daily could not tell positively last night what
the opening play would be. He has, of course, the
usual supply for the season. but has not yet de-
teTmined which to put the stage first. Lord
Tennyson's new play is in his hands in its revised
form, and Mr.. DAILY thinks that 1t is excellent in
written the lines Of tho old comedies almost OF
Shakespeare. 1t Is partly In ana partly In
prose. Ii is possible that account OF having such
Z. play as this In his repertOry Mr.. Daily may omit
the usual old comedy Of Shakespeaean revival this
season.
The new theatre which has been begun In London
is TO be called Days Theatre This insisted
by the projectors Of the plan OF building it, for whom
George Edwardes acts agent. 1t will be built en-
n Daly's ideas. which will Include
some American characteristics. The pit will be pre-
served, in Difference 10 the English custom and
prejudice. The management OF the house, when II
is done will be entirely in Mr.. Days hands, and he
will be represented there by an agent, while he is In
this country. No plan has been perfected as yet for
the OF the house in the absence OF the DAILY com
pany. The theatre will not be ready for occupancy
till the spring Of 1893.

pany In Paris Great reported ard the TACT

had Of the receipts OF all the Paris theatres
for the week that he played there and his own were
larger than any others among them except those OF
the Grand OPERA which, OF course had higher prices and
a house twice as large. Arstically the company was
thoroughly appreciated and the judgments expressed
Of the performances, were most favorable All the
Paris papers of the highest standing praised the acting
Of the company and compared 1t with that OF the
Theatre Francois Not word was heard against 1t
tll after the engagement over and the company
had left Paris. Then two people made attacks on IL
The adverse Judgment that was published in one OF
the Paris papers in the form of espondence
and the paper Itself I'm no way responsible Tor IT,
nor did the letters represent the opinion Of the paper
The approval that was met In Paris was actually 50
great that MIR. DAILY had offers for an engagement OF
the company in Vienna next year. where II was pro
posed that il should represent An encan art at the
exhibition. =,
The home theatre has been much changed ana I'M
