CHANGES At THE THEATRES.
Carmen Well Sung aud Wan5
Makes His Filieth Bow.
Adonis DiNey Engaged Not to the
Casino, but to Frohman.

The changes al the theatres last night were
very few; most Of the houses remained IN the
same condtion-closcd. At the Grand Opera
House " Carmen" was sung by J.w.Morrisey's
English opera Company, and considering the
fact that II was an oppressive night, the
audience was large. "Carmen" was fairly
well sung, the torcador OF Leo llormont being
particularly effective piece Of work. The rest
OF the cast was as follows: Carmen, Louise
Natal; Michaela, Nina Bertini; Frasquita, Miss
swain; Mercedes, Miss Flower; Don Jose,
MIR. Michclcna; Iuniga, MIR. Borneman, and
Morales, J. G. Adams. At Tony Pastors,
there was the usual excellent variety pro
grummc, including Wcbber a0I Fields, Lottie
ellison, Ryan and RiCht,iI frank Moran,
James McAvoy, Bogert and Brier, the Fitz-
gibOon sisters, and the Egyptian All brothers.
At Roster & Bials there was the peerless and
| indefatigablc CarmenCita, who has lived al
| ready for a very long time in the popularity
| Of the public. Peggy Prydc, the Braat1
| brothers, Ellie stuart and Millie Price-Dott
were other attractions at this house. At Pal
| mcr's Theatre the beautiful Omone appeared
| in the harcm scene OF " The Tar and he Tar
| tar but owing to the scruples OF the man
agrmcnt, she wns not allowed to do the real
hluN'' uN oll' Nlu fiIlNI III Nut uhN " IT,
hcarsal, and her performance proved to be
| OvcrtamC.
Chaunccy Olcott, the tenor, is now In Eu-
rope, studying music. Those who have heard
| him slug will all agree that IL has plenty to
| learn. MIR. OlcOtt Is also doing what Is known
| impOlitely as the social racket " In London.
w. 8. Gilbert, the author Of "Pmaforc," !"
"The MlkadO" and 1.-THE Pirate" has been
made Justice Of the Peace for MiddleseX.
| Gilbert In his younger days was a lawyer, ard
| he Is reported To have mentioned this fact
| and to have hoped that his knowledge OF law
would not disquallty him for his position on
| the bench.
Sol Aiken, manager Of q farce-comedy
| known as " crazy Lots" has had an unenvla-
| Bile experience. He was walking in the neigh
| DOrhOOd Of Waverley place saturday, and de-
clareS that sudden weakness seized him,
and he felt that he was going to faint. The
notion OF falling unconscious In the street
| and being taken TO some hospital struck him
| as particularly disagrceaDle and he resolved
TO reveal his identity to the first person he
| met. man was approaching, and TO him Mr.
Aiken spoke, declaring that he felt very sick
and was going to faint. The stranger drew
him into an area and promised TO relieve him
MIR. Aiken tainted and when he recovered
found that he had In good verify been relieved
OF watch, chain, diamond pin and diam md
lGCEet. There were two stones In the pin.
and the other articles were all valuable MIR
Aiken says he has placed the case In the
hands OF detectives.
The London Stage evidently thinks that he
Wolf Hopper Is the name OF a play. This
Journal always itallci2cs the titles OF plays
and De Wolf Hopper appears In this form as
the attraction at the Broadway Theatre
After ALL the journal Is not very far wrong
You can cell the opera " Wang" or anything
you like, but It Is Dc Wolf Hopper all the
same.
Frank Mckee has "hired" the farce =" A
| Hole In the Ground for next season and will
| take It on the road. Charles COwlcs and
Frank Lawton have already been engaged.
The engagement OF Henry Z. DiNey by
Charles Frohlnan was something of surprise.
| DiXey, however, has been in the feld for a
| long time. T. H. French wanted him. and the
| Casino would have liked him II he had been II
| trilie less expensive. DiXey has grown little
bit tired OF himself and his stellar career
| through the country. He was very undecided
| what he would do next season. Charles Froh-
| man has solved the question for him. Froh-
| man now has some of the most eX-
pensive and most popular people on
| the stage In his employ. His enterprises
| for next year are numerous and daring. In
| fact Mr.. Frohman Is on the top wave OF his
| success, and for him II must be said that he
| is exactly the same, not one bit more puncd-
up, not one atom moro consequential than
when he was struggling in the brend-and-but-
| ter conflict. Few men know how to take sue
| Charles FrOhman.
