SHAKESPEARE VS.. SULLIVAN.

ModJeska in As You Like 1t as Charming
as Ever, and Her support Is Very Good
The Champion Pugiiist as an Actor
The yOodoo, Knock-About FARGO
Comedy-A1 the Plays in Town Criti-
cised.
Shakespeare's comedy LAS You Like IT,
was presented at the Duquesne Theater by a
company that is not merely a good support
to Modjeska, the eminent star, but ior the
most part far more satisfactory than any
that has essayed to interpret the greatest
of all dramatsts in these parts of late.
Modjeska is still the great artist and the
charming woman that we have known 1or
years. and her embodiment of Rosdhnd is as
polished and refined as ever, and distinctly
her own rendering of Shakespeare's delicious
creation. She is at her best in the dainty
love passages with Orlando in the greenwood
glade, and the ha bil1ments OF perndlous man,
it may be observed, seldom have fallen upon
more shapely RoSdiind. Mr.. Thalberg's Or
tdndo can hardly be said to possess
the same physical characteristics, and
the performance lacks ardor and
manly intensity. But Mr.. Thalberg
careful student OF Shakespeare, as the
beauties of the text at least were well DIS
played by him. After the realistic wrestling
match-a welcome change from the usual
farce-an Orlando less of a chamber knight
might have been looked for. Mr.. John A.
Lane was of course simply admirable as
JacQueS-his rendering of this character will
live as tradition of the stage. MIR. Beau
mont Smith, in spite of recent calamitous
descent into a pit, played Iouchstole in a dry
and truly Shakespearean style. Mrs. Smith
was graceful as Celia, and was another of
those who dealt reverently with the text.
Most of the others were good, and here and
there a careful bit of acting revealed merit
in minor roles. as for instance the bucolic
placidity expressed in all the words, looks
and attitudes of CORN, the shepherd played
by Mr.. r. p. Carter. The scenery was nicely
ordered.
Tonight "Marie Stuart will be given,
with Modjcska in the title role.

A Hoodoo for Good Luck,

As merry knock-about FARGO comedy
"The Voodoo" is about up to the standard.
1t made q good-szed audience laugh heartily
for two hours and more last night at the
Grand Opera House, and that is as much as
farce comedy can be expected to do, We sup
pose. The ridiculous story of a superstitious
woman's hunt for the seven hairs
from mans beard that shall bring
her great good luck, is really well
kept up through three acts. The
chief color in it is the alleged Irish
comedy. Nearly all the characters are broad
burlesque of the Irish race in the usual stage
style. Messrs. Steve Staley, W. A. Mack,
Edgar Norton and Will Carleton are the
principal comedians, and they all succeed in
making themselves very laughable. The
fun goes along in fast and furious stream
all through the play. In the second act the
old idea OF bathing houses at the sea shore
is exploited once more, and with funny re-
suit. Miss Ada Bothner's serpentine dance
under new name, is rather taking feat
ure, and the other specalties in act II. are
all pretty good, Mr.. Mack repeating a recita-
ton that he gave here in "a jolly Surprise"
The singing of AlonZo Hatch won him an
encore, and, indeed, most of the songs and
chorus sprinkled oN er the piece were rede-
manded. The audience laughed and ap-
plauded with apparent enthusiasm.

John L, Sullivan as an Actor.

There were packed into the gallery of the
Bijou Theater last night 91s men and boys.
and the rest of the house was pretty we'll
filled. The stage was occupied by number
of people and n play, but to use n congenial
phrase, they were not in it. The audience
was there to see one man. John L. Sullivan
and they would have endured Booth in
Hamlet" with just as much patience as q
prelude to the great mans entrance. Tho
play is not a bad comedy drama, as they call
the milder sort of melodrama no owadays,
and the company is fair. Mr.. Sullivan, as
everyone knows, is great actor-not in his
mind as some inflated nobodies are, but in
his fists, and Honest Hearts and Willing
Hands" gives him Il good-siZed chance to
use them picturesquely. Wisely the man.
ayers put the boxing bout near the final
curtain, thus ensuring a large audience till
the last. When the champion finally came
on in green tights and proceeded to pat Mr..
Jack Ashton with the playful insistence and
gymnasium, the 91S in the gallery howled
and the more than 400 in the parquet hurled
the welcome back. The three short rounds
did not develop any real artistic slugsing,
and the give and take slaps merely whetted
the audiences desire for some realism. Hit
him hard!' "Biff him. John!' "Why don't
yer slug him?" were the frequent cries, but
to no effect Mr.. Sullivan, looking very tat
and much slower in his movements than
when last seen here, punched Mr.. Ashton
ponderously but per1unctorily, and then the
audience departed.

Anarchists of Europe.
BERLIN, May 2-Reports have reached
here that over ton of dynamite and gun
powder has been stolen from the magazines
at Corfu, the Greek island in the Mediterra-
mean, where the King of Greece makes his

der were stolen in small quantities at time
by men employed in the magazines.

French Department of Tarn, says dynamite
cartridge exploded in a bystreet in that CITY
last night. The explosion caused considera-
bic damage. OF course every one believes
the explosion was the work of an Anarchist
