Manager Morrissey's Farewell.

The Orpheum has changed its manage
ment-Mr. Gustave Walter retiring and Mr..
John McGrane taking charge. The final
transfer does not take place, however, until
March 1st. The house will remain closed
until the evening of February 22d, when
Mr.. Walter. at the solicitation of a number
of professional and other friends, has de-
clded TO tender complimentary ben
eft to Mr.. John and Title Mnrrls-
sev on the evening Of that day. Mr.. Nor
rissey has been identified with two theaters
IN. this city during the past two years as
manager, and has gained number of stanch
friends in and out of the profession. His
wife. Miss Tillie Morrissey, is an accom-
pished soprano, and has also become a great
fayorlte. as was shown a few weeks ago
when the B. p. o. T. presented the lady with
a handsome bracelet, richly studded with
diamonds. A strong array of amateur and
professional talent have volunteered for this
occasion, and the programme will, no doubt,
be fitting close to Mr.. Walters manage
rial career.

What Sardou Saws.

Upon the first performance of "Odette"
by Clara Morris in San Francisco, Manager
Edwin Ii. Price carefully collected the crit
icisms of all the papers and mailed them TO
NJ. Sardou. The verdict of the press was
that she made Odette not simply a frivolous
woman of the world, but one who possessed
in the highest degree that maternal instinct
which, when aroused, transforms entirely
the woman of the world into the self-sacri-
ticing, suffering and noble mother. Sardou
according to the New York Squib), after
having the critiques nslated, acknowl-
edged the receipt of them, and in charac-
teristic letter returned his thanks to Nine.
Morris, and complimented her on being the
first English speaking actress who without
seeing his plays produced in Paris, was able
TO give the American people conception of
them as he created them and a portrayal Of
the character as he conceived it and in

aIr. Potter of Texas"

The New York American Musician, spe ak
ing of this recent dramatization. says: The
novels of Archibald Gunter are wild whoopS
of sensation in italic and capitals. The
heroine is always In DESPERATE STRAITS,
and. Hush! the oitlain still pursues her!
The play based upon Gunter's novel is built
in the same style. All the characters dash
about and scream their lines, and Mr.. Pot
ter shouts "W-e-a-u-g-h !" on and off the
stage. But the very large frst-night audi
ence liked the play and called out Mr.. Gun
ter fora speech. Manager Sanger, who had
charge of the production, has arranged 4
cast that could act anything. 1t includes
Minnie Seligman. Frank Mordaunt, sydney
Drew, Louis MasSen and Henry Holland,
and carries the piece through with a rush.
