As james OB,fen the railroad contractor
in "The Millionaire" which comes to the
Grand Opera House the week of April IS,
Daniel Sully has, it is said, q character en-
tirely different from the traditional stage
Irishman. There is none of that reckless,
rollicking, devil-may-care creation seen in
of humor, but it is that Of q sharp, shrewd
man of business.
ALL the scenery and properties of the late

B1YT HALL, in the Dramatic Nesos writes:
81 might as well tell OF the only time Bob
Hilliard was whipped. had it on the quiet
from Will Lackaye. You know how fond
HilIiard is of being photographed. He is at
it all the time. Well, it appears that he once
got into quarrel with man who knew
Bob's weakness. As they started for one
another, this man said in a tone of author
ity, Raise your chin, please From force
OF habit Hilliard complied with the request
and the tricky man landed knockout blow
on Roberts Adams apple. The next time
Hilliard went to a photographer he came
near whipping the operator for making the
same remark"
JOHN W. JENNINGS has bought q new play
~, Dn,, l,a l.
it before this season closes. The play con-
tains four partisan old man, his son and
two women. Mr. Jennings himself plays the
four parts, and is leading man, leading
woman, juvenile and sOubrette. The play Is
said to tell q complete story. Mr.. Jennings,
quire the services of four dressers. The
company itself should be highly agreeable.
If the leading woman kicks Mr.. Jennings
can fire her;if the Juvenile becomes oh:
streperous, MI. Jennings can sit on him, and
if the ingenue rebels Mr.. Jennings can pack
her home to her ma.
HERE is Clement scotc's, the London crit
ic's, description of Lottie Collins singing of
the classic ballad, "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!"
"She begins the strange wall with IS much
taste and expression ss Schneider gave to
her trifing little ditties. But then comes
the surprise. Bang goes the drum, and the
quiet, simplelooking, nervous singer is
changed into q paccD8nal1an fury. But the
frenzy is never allowed to stray beyond the
limits of art. Singer and dancer are well in
hand. Wild and wilder as the refrain grows,
half.maddened as the dancer seems to be-
come, no one could reasonably detect ono
trace Of vulgarfty or immodesty in a single
movement"
