Lovers of a superb specimen of man

combined In Mr.. Mantelrs impersonations
| of three strong romantic parts--the dual
| role IN The Corsican Brothers" Wednes-
| day night; " Monbars" at the matinee
| Thursday. and 1.-THE Louisianlan" Thurs
| day night. Mantell is we'll known through;
| out the country and has made a national
| reputation. He is possibly the haudsomest
| actor In America, and as an amateur
| swordsmau is only second TO Perry Bel
h mont. Thenew play, The Louisianian, Is
\ from the pen OF 81. Edward Altriend. who
| IS so well knownln Richmond from his long
residence here. He IL now living IN New
| York, where bis several plays and his
ability as a playwright have. placed MIN ID
a conspicuous place IN the tneatrlcaI
world: The Corsicsn Brothers as pay
i is well known and the production that
/ MIR. Mante!l gives is said to be very nne.
| He carries all scenery used, and his effects
| are superb. Monbars is charming play.
| 1.-The Louisianian" has never been seen
here, but northern critics have been LAVISH
| in their praise and pronounced II one OF
| the best literary effects in the last decade.
| 1t will probably attract more attention
than any play in the repertoire.
M1ssrREIs ON SATURDAY.
Germans Minstrels, which will be at the
| Theatre Saturday, were only organized
last season, but their entertainment on
| their visit here in the spring made them
many friends. The company was then
good, and it is promised that they have
| greatly improved since. The costumes
are new. bright. and rich. the German
brothers decidedly popular, and the spe-
cialties, comedians, and music new, orlgi-
nal, and said to be unsurpassabe. The
material composing the company has been
we'll selected and the piece well put TO-
gether.
MRS. kendall MAKES A SPEECH.
At the recent tea and reception given by
the Actors Fund Fair Committee at the
Holland House. New York. there were
present large assembly OF the most dis
tlnguished actors and actresses in the

showing how interested they were IN the
work which they had undertaken. Among
these were Mrs. Kendall, who said
when q woman measures thirty-slX
inches around her chest she is popularity
supposed to have no nerves, but this Is an
error. To-day | am more nervous than
usual, tor I don't understand whether this
| money 70 be obtained from the fair is to
90 to the fund or to the orphanage.
1T is to 20 to both," iuterposed MIR.
Palmer.
Then continued Mrs. Kendall, IT
think it needs no woman's voice or mans
voice to speak on such a subject. IL APP
peals to all our hearts and l will willingly
do anything for the fund.

make dollars. (Laughter.l 1t is some
times thrown in my face, and that is the

and ancient dramatic problem. This is
whether it is ever possible for person or
