The season of '91-,9e has been waited
into the e1ceigkett. ana Broadway is again
crowded with returned ~thespians. Some
of the old timers look as II 1t had been q
very hard season. aud the well known
beauties-well, they ought to do as did
the famous beauty IN Paris, Countess de
Castiglioni, Of whose loneliness most
fabulous records remain, She has lived
for many years In the closest %seclusion In
the heart Of Paris. As 500 as she saw
the traces OF fading charm In her face,
she pulled down her Venetian binds and
allowed no one to approach. So long has
she thus exiled herself from the world
that many people believed her dead.
It's Il wiss manager that knows when
to close his season.. and Manage William
Il. Hayden Is among the wisest of them
all. He closed Mr.. Stuart Robson's tour
this week-the most profitable tour the
favorite star has ever made. 1t opened
at the New Opera House, this city. on the
opening night of that house.
Some attractions are making q new be-
ginning while Others close. Modjeska
opened to d 800 house in Pittsburg on
Monday as Rosalind, and John Il. Sulli-
van at another play house in the same
81 200. John. it is said, talks of heading
Il farce comedy next summer. II he
wants to keep on being as funny as he Is
now. he ought to get a deadly tragedy to
star in. M
Alexander Salvini had a most brilliant
opening for his Boston Theatre engage
ment. The cordial reception which
awaited his appearance denoted the popu-
larity which has been growing since his
extended engagement there last spring.
He made his entrance on this occasion as
DArtagnan in "The Thrae Guardsmen."
A notable feature In connection with this
engagement is the appearance of William
Redmund, who has been associated with
many of the successes of the Boston The
atre Stock Company. Two carloads of
entirely new scenery were brought on to
make the old romance true 10 life.
In spite of the circus, Lent. spring. and
now warm weather, Hoyt's "a Trip to
Chinatown" Is holding its own at Hoyt's
Madison Square Theatre as the most
popular aud successful farce comedy of
the century. II has already a a larger
consecutive metropolitan run han has
any farce-comedy in this or any other
country. g4af. 7w. araf als5 -t..t 81.
One Of the novel features of the Actors
Fund Fair, whicn. by the way. will pro-
duce more than $780, 900, Is a dainty col
lection of dolls. the artistic handiwork of
Mrs. William h. Hayden aud Mrs. Nc
Kean. Itis u very delicate and charming
compliment paid Mr. and Mrs. Stuart
cisely as is Mr.. Robson's company in his
magnificent production of ''Siie Stops to
Conquer" The difficulty Of doing this
accurately may easily be imagined when
it is recalled that the costumes required
are beautiful quilted petticoats and
gorgeous trains, pretty hats for the ladies
and three-cornered hats for tbs men, the
coats glittering with embroidery.
"A Texas Steer" has cleared. it Is said,
$4l. 1863 this season for Hoyt & Thomas,
and it's success will delay the production
of Mr.. Hoyt's new play, "a Man Born In
Missouri" which was written for Mrs.
Hoyt and Tim Murphy, n which will be
put on the road again next season. His
active brain has, however, already oon-
cooted u new musical comedy, which deals
with bart.e-scared soldiers of peace.
who join the army to avoid jury duty.
This new play will be finished during the
summer. while MIR. Hoyt is supposed to
be resting at his rural home in New
Hampshire, but b with his political
aspiration and his play writing his hours
will be pretty we'll filled. ha a44
