Perhaps George Thatcher Minstrel Com

clusion that the amount Of it is by no means
incQnsiderable. w. 5, -. in trying to
mUnopoize all this dark article in the

as the operators had who tried TO form a
corner on the wheat crop. Talent of this
kind makes very fast when there is a de-
maBd for it. Thatcher offers a new pro-
granme for tomorrow night quite as fresh,
quite as agreeable as the one the public en-
loyed last week. One feature Of it is the
delightful quartet to be sung by Messrs.
Jose. Moore, Lewis and Frillman, and
second, tha odd, 0ld Farm solo, by the
young man Jose, with the cOunter-tenOr
voice, as it used TO he called in the old
times, and the quality of which leads one to
believe that the singer might at one time
have vocalized in the Sistine Chapel.

Joseph R. Grismer, now in New York,
has secured at least one notable success for
next season, having Just compile ted arrange
ments for the production Of the comedy
drama, "Fernclitf." The play was written
by William Haworth, brother of Joseph
Haworth. 1t was originally produced ia
New York last season and created very
good impression. Mr.. Grismer first made
overtures for its purchase a year ago. but
owing TO differences which arose between
the author and his business partner, only
recently settled, he was unable to secure it
before. 1t Is said to be very strong and to
be somewhat on the order of The Burg
lar" though there is 10 similarity in plct,
stronger in situation and with rather more
comedy. The story is full Of human inter-
est. Though founded on the Civil War
there are no battle scenes. The whole a.
ton of the play takes place in Rhode Isl
and. The War makes no figure in the plot.
There are a number Of good characters in
the cast. Mr.. Grismer Will not return to
San Francisco before the end OF June. Be
sides ''FeTncliff," he will secure some other
novelty while in New York. He will also
revive 'The Burglar" giving il a strong
production next season. which will open at
the Bush-stTeet Theater the last Of next
August.

O,NeiIl,s Mistake.

According to the New York Truth James
O'NeiIl has bided too long with Monte
Cristo," for now his whole professional be-
ing is nteriused with the color of Dumas
imagined hero. He tried a newplay in New
York recently, written by a gentleman
named Swartz of Philadelphia-that source
and center of contributions to the lyric and
dramatic stage Of the United State5-based
upon the Malta in certain lines. and in
others on Jack the Ripper's performances.
The chief character is that Of an Italian
count, undertaken by Mr.. O'Neill, ana the
verdict is that while in its realization he
brought out the manneTisms Of the French
Monte Cristo more strongly than ever, he
failed to give the character of the Italian,
even the faiDtest vTasemblance James
has discovered that be cannot win on the
double event.

The opening of the new season at the
Baldwin was the theatrical event Of the
week, additionally accented by the produc-
ton Of a new play. We had been hearing
about De Mile and Belascos Men and
Women" for months past and were led to
believe il exceptional in the elegance and
teTseuess Of its text, in the strength and
completeness Of its construction. We have
been slightly disappointed in both respects.
Stiil there are many good points in the
drama which cOndoue in a great measure
occasional turgid lines and forced stua-
lions The strong and effective acting. too.
Of several members of the company conceal
the authors defects from the eyes of those
not disposed to be severely critical. The
manner Of De BelleviIIe as the Jewish
banker, Of William Morris the cashier, of
j.. A. Roberts the counselor, of MOTdaunt
as the Arizona Governor, is so impressive
that the casual listener is caught by
it and apt to take from their
bands unquestioningly the authors plated
ware as if it were solid silver
and bore the hall mark Of genuineness. The
title Of the play is not happy one. Origj-
nally it was called Governor Rodman's
Daughter" which, although a little bulky,
Is certainly better than the vague and gen
eIal one Of men and Women" Such a
title has no significance. 1t may be equally
well applied TO any drama produced on the
stage.
THE LADIES N THE CAST.
While we have only words Of commenda-
ton for the act0rs-whO are better than the
play they active must not forget the ar
tistic contribution to the general effect made
By Miss sydney Armstrong as agnes, by
Miss Maude Adams as Dora, in the serious
features of the piece, and in its lighter as
poets by Miss 0de,te Tyler as Mrs Kate
Dtlafeld and Miss Eta Hawkins as Mar
gerry Knox. Miss Armstrong has made n
most enyiable position for herself Ia the
profession during her short career. She
wins one by her w0manliness and refine
ment aud at the same time by the exhibit
ton Of a strength and repose of character
under circumstances calculated to disturb
the best balanced mind. She is well placed
il this cast and graces the position assigned

A shakespearean Investigation.

Dramatic Editor Call: In your issue of
Sunday. May Sd, you say that it may be
suggested that Mr.. Darrell is straining a
point in his makeup. Shakespeare had no
reputation as an actor or speaker. 1t is Of
record that the only character of the many
in his plays which he persOnated was old
Adam in "As You Like It." In exLenua-
ton Of my venture | should like to say that
as far as l can learn we have no authentic
record OF Shakespeare, not even that he
was the author Of the plays credited to him,
and as to his reputation as an actor it must
be borne in mind that in his age the actor
was degraded parsonage, and he who
cared so little for fame that he left no trace
which could prove his life-work his would
certainly not leave evidence OF what was
then considered nOtOTiety.
The record OF his repreSen tatiOn OF Adam,
SO far as / can learn, was from the reiter-
ated Boosting Of his brother, which by some
commentators is accounted doubtful.
TWO COMMENTATORS.
l beg leave to quote from two cOmmenta-
tors. Dowden says that Sin the account of
the Treasurer OF the Chamber-LondOn, we
learn that Shakespeare appeared twice with
BuTbadge as a member of the LORD Cham
berlain's players before the Queen in Christ
mas time, 1898 also in 1892 he is spoken Of
as a successful actor and author.
L. G. Fleay says that Shakespeare prob
ably joined the players in 1887. and in 1891
was member of Lord Stranges company,
who played 1.-Two Gentlemen of Verona"
In 1892, Greene A. Fullow, dramatist,
jealous Of Shakespeare's growing popularity,
issued a manuscript directed against a COM
pany Of players Burs, puppets, antics,
apes, groOms, among whom is an upstart
crow, Johannus Factotun, shake-scene
who supposeS lie can bombast out blank
verse"
Fleay says; "This was probably directed
against Shakespeare and Lord Strange's
players, for whom he (Shakespeare) was
then writing and with whom he was then
playing"
In 1893 Lord Strange died, and the COM
pany found a new patron In Lord HunSdon,
the Chamberlain.
