A. p. Dunlop. writing from New York
under date of October Ist, says:
''The much talked of change at the Ca
| sino took place on Monday and resulted
in fiat failure. The variety part of the
entertainment would have been Missed off
the stage on either the Bowery or Eighth
Avenue, and the ballet part is not OF
| kind that will create much of a stir in
Gotham. 1t is very bad imitation of the
London Alhambra, and will probably last
until the stockholders can find some one
able to make legal opera pay even the
! smallest kind of a dividend, none so far
having been declared by Mr.. Aronson in
! spite OF many successes.
The only other novelty in town was
Larry the Lord musical comedy by
the late Fred Maeder, at the Peoples
| Iheater. K. e. Graham, the star, is
one OF the cleverest comedians on the
stage, and he is well fitted, the play being
both clever and amusing. Pretty songs
and catchy music sparkles through the
| three acts, through which Mr.. Graham
dances with his usual grace and finish.
Larry the Lord is Enthusiastically a sue
cess.
''AT the Star Theater THE Lost Para
olse,' last seasons great success, has been
doing large business. 1t is one of the
| lew plays dealing with the labor prob
lem, displaying in its construction de-
gree OF skill III stage craft that makes it
very popular.
AT the Third Avenue another new Irish
drama, not yet seen in the metropolis,
was produced on Monday. 1t is called
The Rambler from Clare, and it is the
nj Ia II,(N = \
seems TO have evolved out of the bog
lately, for even this has no red coat nor
shlllaieh, without which an Irish drama
OF ten years ago could not have succeeded.
otherwise the week has been bare OF
new attractions, the plays having long
runs coming IN tor good deal Of the reg
ular patronage. This was particularly
shown at the Madison Square Theater,
where "A Trip to Chinatown has filled
every seat at every performance. This
phenomenal record breaker will celebrate
the 350th consecutive performance at this
house October 18th, and on November
9th It's hrSG anniversary Will be cOmmem-
GRATED by Hoyt Il Thomas in great style.
For whole year. autumn, winter, spring
and through hot summer, without clos
ing its doors once, has the bright little
comedy made big audiences laugh night
ly, and now, as the second winter is ap-
preaching, it looks strong and healthy

PADEREwSKI's TOUR.
The appearance here of the celebrated
pianist, Ignace j. Paderewski, is being
} talked Of by the music-loving public.
Paderewskl is sunquestiOnably an inspired
/ and phenomenal pianist. He possesses
} the power OF interesting and arousing the
} enthusiasm of an audience of the highest
musical culture, and of giving pleasure
, and delight to one of less musical intelli-
gence and simpler tastes. Steinway &
Sons have engaged this artist for tour
OF the United States, beginning at San
Francisco, Saturday, November 18th
f Only three concerts will be given outside
OF the metropolis, for which Hahn d
, Love, the concert and dramatic agents
, are now arranging. The matter has been
lett in the hands Of music dealers here
and II sufficient interest is taken and
enough subscribers to warrant it, a con-
: cert will be given in Sacramento. The
) prices will be So, 81 90 and, 81.
''THE RUINED ABBEY"
Since the conclusion of the play of ''The
> Ruined Abbey" recently running il
: these columns, many people have ex.
pressed desire to see 1t put upon the
] stage. We believe that it would prove 6
drawing card. The characters are al
well drawn, stand out distinctly in theil
: personality, and would furnish strons
stage studies. The plot is good and i.
treated with skill, while the climaxes arr
! all we'll worked up. A sustained interes
= would be kept up from first to last, anC
: we are confident that any manager who
: would place the play before the people
E would reap an ample ereward.-Sacramen

D MISS MARGARET MATHER.
; Miss Mather has restored one of hei
u most charming assumptions this season
in the character of Rosalind, in 'tAs Yor
Like It," The freshness of this beaurfu
pastoral play never witherS, and Miss
: Mather has acted wisely in needing tht
unnumbered requests for it's presentation
i again. The production of this play vii
: have an added interest, in that Orlando
Is will be presented by NJ. Cautley, who's,
: performance of this character at the st
: James Theater in London, during tn,
$ memorable run of the play in 1850, mad

e ist and favorite of the West End.
