TWO NEW PLAYS.
Tho New York Sun SAYS: Two new
plays OF recent date Rre Judith" which
Hortensc Rlica has produced In Boston,
after y test in the wilds OF Pennsylvania,
and Jack Royal Of the 92d," which
Harry Lacy has made known before u
Philadelphia audience. IAcy's play IL
by Andrew G. Wheeler (Nym Crinklc);
Rhca's is by sigmund Il. Alexander, OF
Boston. Rlica's play has failed ~signally;
LaCy's has Just rs slgnally succeeded.
Rhca's play touches upon Il now phase
Of American liie-thc manners and the
sentiment OF polite Hebrew life in this
country. Lacy's play deals with u
theme that is as old us the hills, though
certain phases OF its treatment arc novel
and clever. The Rhcn play failed be-
cause OF its boldness and lis ncwncss;
but the Lacy drama, which has n mar
tinl spirit, with q plenty Of stirring tab
lcauX, fine, 6onorous speeches and pic
turesquc situations, has gained 4 victory
because the cunning hand that put it
together well knows the popular pulse
and its limitations. 1t is easy to believe
that Lacy with his %uncoutl movements
and his nasal defamation, is not the
ideal type oil the American soldier, but
there is no gainsaying his clcvcrncss as
a manager. Jack ROYAL OF the ODD"
might have been in worse hands.
sARDou's NEW PLAY.
An interview with Ray l.. Werts,
Rose Osborne's "Satan" coinpany's en-
ergctic business manager, who Is stop
ping 4 few days in the city, making
slight alterations in the route OF that
company, ELECTS the fact that theatre
goers arc to have rare treat. "Satan,"
coming from the pen OF the worlds
greatest author, Sardou, makes COM
ment superilous. Miss Osborne will be
remembered favorably as the able lead
ing lady in BARLEY Campbell's great
production, "Fate;". also in the same
role under the management OF A. NJ.
Palmer in Now York. Mr.. Raymond
has surrounded her with an excellent
company, and the comments OF the
press are ilattcring. The play will be
presented in Wheeling as originally
produced at the Windsor, in New York.
STAGE s~HowFLAEEs.
The forthcoming spectacle ut Niblo's,
beautiful STAR" may reveal a surprise
in female attractivcncss, il the hints
now thrown out are not bascless bids
for covert advertising. a dcbutantc.
Mrs. Nina Harrington, is expected to
surprise the town by her beauty OF face
and form. 1t is declared that she is rs
fair to the eye as Lillian Charlotte Lang
try was ten years ago, in her prime;
and it is significant, as further b~espealt-
ing the rare quality OF this new stage
goddess, that her most enthusiastic adj
miror so far is Freddy Gcbhard. So
there is Il certain coincidence attached
to the coming OF this new actress that
will doubtless give an excuse for wide
gossip. Mrs. Harrington is the daugh-
ter oil Gen. Rose OF the English army.
The general verdict seems to be that
Bill Nyc's play is not a play at all. It's
rather q s;ringing together OF incidents
in the life oil the great humorist. but it
is said to have moro lines than Hamlet,
and gives but very little opportunity to
any Il in the cast excepting Mr.. Sea-
brooke. who is thought to be very funny
in the part.
Next Thursday evening after the per-
Torrance OF "Bridget's Baby" at the
Opera House Wheeling Lodge No. IS
b. p. 0. L. will give n stag social session
in honor Of Mr.. Monroe. The lodge
always docs the honors for Mr.. Monroe
on his visits to Wheeling in great shape.
and Thursday evenings entertainment
is sure to be as enjoyable rs its prede-
ccssors.
