ana fortunate now in having a young
man OF the temperament and talent and
ambition that are worthy to niaterialize
hum for the delight of modern audiences.
The stalwart, romantic drama cannot die
while there is such an incarnation as
| Alexander Salvini for its Don Caesars and
its D. Artagnans. Their exploits are none
too marvellous, their audacity none too
daring and their buster none too ridicu-
lous Tor sympathetic credence when he
! sets about showing the plausibility and
naturalness Oft.
Last nights audience, much of it a
stranger to the old-school drama, fairly
reyeied In the buoyant and virile ehrson-
| alton and was absorbed in the progress of
the line old play, bursting full, as it is, OF
unexpected incident and ingenious adj
venture. When, in the fourth act. there
came the sceue in which, the King having
talteringly declared himself TO be Don
Caesar. Don Caesar triumphantly pro-
claims himself King, the spectators were
wild with delight. This scene of superb
insolence, followed quickly by one of
superb scorn, in which the volatile adj
venturer, stung TO grandeur by suspicion,
demands OF his wife an account of her
SELF are the acting climaxes of the part,
and the audience caught its breath and
tlngled with interest.-Kansas City

LILLIAN LEWIS AS LADY LII.
Lillian Lewis has in her new play,
Lady Lii" the biggest sort of money
success. On its first production the play
and the actress took New York by storm.
1t is play just suited to the taste of the
present day. There is sensation, incl
dent, comedy action and climax in every
scene. 1t has matter enough for dozen
plays, and is staged, costumed and gotten
up IN gorgeous manner. 1t is drama,
a spectacle and limitless realism all COM
blned. Miss Lewis appears in a magnifi-
cent yellow costume, huSsar uniform,
IN startling green tights. in pink gown
and magnificent white robe. The famous
horse Romanotf, the man-eating tiger
Ralah, the playing Of the faith curer, the
establishment Of telegraph communica-
tons, the amphitheater of circus, and
the ministrations of Sisters of Mercy on
battlefield, are some of the incidents
III Lady ILL.," Each character is as vivid
as a flash-light, and the comedy is ex-
quisite. The theater-goer who sees Lii
han Lewis in Lady Lip and does not
lind something just suited to his taste is a
tough, hardened case, indeed.
MISS MARGARET MATHER.
The professional career of Miss Marga-
ret Mather is too we'll known to require
repetition, and her entrance into the arena
OF histrioniSm has been maintained by
her intelligent and remarkable labors in
the highest walks of dramatic art. Her
tour this season will present her in those
characters in which she is the recognized
exponent Of the lovely and lovable of
shakespeare heroines. Her devotion to
her art has increased with her advance
ment in it, and with the inspiration to
excel which the surroundings of an able
company OF players excites, the public
may be pleased to renew their acquaint-
ance with this artist, and to accord at the
same time their appreciation OF her artistic
development.

not do it, my dear Charles Don't go on
the stage in the name of the Almighty ~
Whereto the young amateur promptly
replied, Dear Mr.. -, / intend to go on
the stage in my own name"
1t certainly looks as if Miss Anna Boyd
has caught the West. Here is what one
of the critics says: 1.-The star of the aggre-
cation is PRETTY, piquant Miss Anna
Boyd. She is charming actress and a
very bewitching woman. She has pair
of lovely blue eyes which she uses most
effectively, and her stage presence is
graceful and pleasing. Her voice is mel
odious and the dash and spirit with which
she sustains the role stamps her an actress
of fine qualities"
