Notes.

Notes.
Grismer has revived "Called Backr in
| San Francisco.
Patti has contracted to sing in st. Peters
burg next season
| Patti Rosa, who is today what Lolita
was twenty years ago, comes to the theatre
soon.
| Locke writes here that the theatre must
! be made to hold s., 900 per night for Juch's
engagement.
Charlie Reed and Fay Templeton are
both with Russeirs Comedians, which
soon comes to the theatre.
Nothing is settled yet with regard to
Juch's repertory. We trust Mr.. Burton
will stand out for ''Traviata."
Annie Russelrs benefit takes place in
New York February 10. Herbert Kelley
has the thing in hand, and it is bound to be
great go.
Rumor says Bessie Dean may be ex-
pected home ere long. Her absence has
| been felt in musical circles almost as much
as that of Easton.
Mr.. Montegriffo the well-known tenor,
has signed an engagement with the Carl
Rosa company. He sailed for Liverpool on
the Etruria last Saturday.
Frank Daniels claims to have cleared
S15, coo on his ten weeks tour of the Pacific
coast. His two weeks engagement at the
California theatre Melted him alone a profit
of ST, 600.
Barrett played Romeo in New York the
other night; he received very little praise,
but Gales Juliet was very enthusiastically
received. Barrett is now playing "Fran-
cisca'' again.
The New York Dramatic Times, repre-
sented in this city by Mr. Miller, of Miller
81 Miller (no relation), contains a very
handsome notice of the dramatic depart
ment of THE CHRISTMAS HERALD.
Ada Rehan as Lady Teazle is one of the
rare dramatic spectacles at present to be
viewed in New York. This IS one of the
few things that occasionally makes one
discontinued with his own mountain home.
The Emma Abbott Opera company, as
such, has disbanded, but Manager G. H.
Pratt talks of reorganizing to fill the Alb
bott dates, provided he can engage an
acceptable prima donna. If he cannot
William Broderick may take the organiza
ton out.-Mi7rOr.
J A scrub dramatic sheet in New York
caused something of a stir the other day by
announcing the suspension of the Mirror.
1t was lie, of course, and the editor of the
Mirror, Mr.. F'iske, not only denounces it as
| such, but states that the author of the lie
will be prosecuted to the full extent Of the
law.
German opera has gone by the board in
New York and next season the grea
Metropolitan Opera house is to be leased tt
Abbey who will give Italian and French
, works of the old school. Abbey lost
$l75, 900 once in that house with Patti, but
this time he is said to get it on terms thai
, will enable him to come out at the big end
of the horn.
''The Sea King" with chorus of forty
and with Bob Graham in the cast, will be
given at the theatre ON February 5, & and
} Z, by the William j. Gilmore opera com
pany. Miss Elese Warren will sing the
leading female roles and the cast will in
clude Kate Gilbert, Mamie Cerbi, Kitty
Hill, Edith Newton, Alma Desmond, Alice
Ramsdem. Kitty Lawrence, j. H. Peisse
Frank Howard, George H. Carr and Mark
Smith.
The other night at the Broadway theatre
Mr.. Booth occupied box with his daugh-
ter. He looked pale and i'll, and when he
rose and slowly made the detour of the
house in order to reach the stage to con
graduate his friend Barrett, he was fol
lowed by many sympathetic glances, for he
walked slowly and painfully, leaning heav-
,, lily upon cane. Strange to relate, Mr.
Booth is in better condition when he is
acting than when he is resting from his
labors, and lounging in the quiet house OF
The Players. Work appears to rouse his
whole nature into an activity that wards
off ills and makes him more like his ole
self.-MisTor
