the first and last nights, and Martha
on Tuesday evening.
DUNLoP's NOTES.
Ada Lewis, the Tough Girl in Reilly
and the 400, is to marry James Wright,
a San Francisco merchant, about
Christmas.
Charles E. Locke and the Emma Juch
Opera company are not stranded as re-
ported, but they are on the ragged
edge" all the time.
george S. knight visited New York
last week and promenaded Broadway
with his mother. Physically he is in
good health, but he did not recognize
old friends.
Embarrassing Manager Jacob Lit, has
left his successful You Yonson company
in San Francisco, and is ON his way to
New York to push preparations for the
production of The Ensign.
Tony Pastor is becoming q very rich
man. The business done at his pretty
little house has been very large. Last
week he bought another four-story house
at No. 40 West Ninety-fourth street.
Alexander Salvini's talents are not ex-
actly like those of his father. He is
more nearly a successor to Charles
Fechter, or to what Feehter would have
been had he learned to speak English as
his mother tongue. Salvini has had
great success during his tour of the south
under the management of W. M. Wiki
son.
Clark S. Sammis is getting a good
deal of free advertising out of the mag
niicent failure of his two stars, George
Barrett and Miss Eastlake. Before Bar
rett began his tour, Sammis laid great
stress on the fact that George" was a
good fellow, and very popular. Now he
complains that the disaster was due to
Barrett's good fellowship and love OF a
good time. 1t works both WAYS.
And now they say that Lillian Russell
ia soon to marry William Sanford, son OF
the millionaire carpet manufacturer OF
Amsterdam, N. Y. If she does, it will
be her third venture on the sea of mat
rimony, which has been very boisteroue
for the fair nightingale, who is not alone
| the best singer America has produced,
but one of the prettiest specimens OF
womankind ever created.
Theater parties promise to be more
popular this season than ever in large
cities. One of the prettiest parties ,ol
the Chicago season was called violet
party" and consisted OF thirty-three
couples, each lady wearing a violet
trimmed hat, spray of violets in hei
corsage and each carrying violet ian.
1t was as unique as it was beautiful, and
has been largely copied in other cities.
During the engagement OF Salvlni at
! Chattanooga, where he opened his pres
ent southern tour, rose party was one
of the features of the occupants OF the
boxes and one that was greatly ad'
mired. The fad is pretty one and one
that makes theatergoers thoroughly en-
10Y themselves for the novelty OF the
situs ton and the pleasure OF social COM
panionship between the acts.
Augustin DAILY has got himself rather
disliked in certain literary circles in
London. His crime is that he has pre-
sumed to turn the Poet Laureate into
an advertising medium, and want ol
taste is something English people never
forgive. AS matter OF fact the much
talked of Tennyson comedy was written
wears ago and neither Ellen Terry OF
Mary Anderson would tackle it, despite
the obvious advantages of being able to
advertise play by Tennyson. Inc
fact is, like all great men, Tennyson hal
his weakness and it takes the form o
thinking himself great playwright, anC
the artist DAILY has not failed to taxi
advantage of this weakness, and ha
"spoofed" the laureate to his heart'l
content. The visits of DAILY and Ada
Rehan to Haslemere, Lord Tenny

tense amusement to the initia
ted who know how impossible are
these Tennyson's plays for stage pur
poses. There is, however, no question
of the established success of Ada Rehar
in London, and in that miserable play
The Last Word, she has made posi-
tive triumph. She can stay in Londor
so long as she likes, and she could 40
choose more propitious period, a
