JAMES REILLY IN "TuE BROOM MAKER. I"
The Detroit SIN speaks as follows OF
James Reilly, who commences a three
nights engagement ut the Grand this
evening:
The Opera House was graced with q
large and enthusiastic audience to wit
ness the excellent performance OF James
Reilly and his we'll selected company in
1.-THE Broom Maker" Mr.. Reilly i'm
proves continually, while his singing Is
better, If possible, than ever. He GER
tainly is the most acceptable comedian
in the German dialect line. Reilly in
his character rs Johann also imper-
sonates female Irish character, WIDOW
McFay, and displays a rare talent in tho
Celtic line. His makeup is artistic, and
the Irish songs and dances are very
suggestive of W. ]. Scanlan, the &C
knowledged peer in Irish comedy. The
play of 'fThe Broom Maker" is interest
ing and introduces the two little stars,
Eta and Robbie, clever, pretty and re.
markably precocious for five-year-olds.
DRAMATIC NOTES.
There are more shows on the road
than ever before.
The famous SIignani family of five
people, classical musicians, are with
the Al e. Field minstrels,
John Lowlow, of the Robinson circus,
islaid up from the effects OF scratches
received at the paw OF an enraged
lion.
Ell. Sothern's new play 1.-THE Dane
ing Cir" is q great advance upon the
work he did at the beginning. Ills
role, dramatically, is very Important
AL. G. Field was the recipient of a
beautiful gold-headed cane at Colum-
bus last Sunday night, given by the
Columbus Lodge Of Elks, of which Mr..
Fields is member. Exalted Ruler s.
N. Cook presented the cane in the
lodge.
Mrs. Jennie Kimball, Manageress OF
Corfuno, announces that her star is
now seventeen years old. To my GER
tain knowledge Corinne has been sweet
sixteen for the last eight years, but
that doesn't count. Mrs. Kimball says
she's seventeen, and that goes. It
doesn't matter much what On actress
age is il she is clever, and Corlnne
trots in that class.-Cincinndtt En-
qltiTsr.
Gus Williams, during brief vacation
this summer, wrote ten new songs, all
OF which he keeps for his exclusive use
and will sing in "Keppler's Fortunes.
A song writer approached the come
dian in Chicago recently and wanted tc
contract to write him something new
'No, sir" exclaimed Williams; when
am no longer able to write my own
songs, I'll quit singing" Gus is very
| Jealous OF his ability to compose his
songs, and has never yet used one thai
he did not compose.
Pearl Eytinge's latest venture is
play written BY herself, in which she
will appear as the star, opening hel
season early in September. The piece
is drama in four acts called Vivien.
| 1t deals with the life Of IN adventures
who scatters misery in her course IN
revenge for the wrongs inflicted upor
her. The story turns upon her discov
cry OF her ideal manhood in the pers4
Of an American artist in Paris, to whom
she is sitting for her portrait.
