A MODEL PLAY.
The Clemenceau Case With All the
Accessories a Big Opera
House Hit.

There was a great outpouring of the
people, as the old Methodists used to say,
to the New Opera House last night. but
the cause Of their outcoming was alto
gether different from that which origin
ally gave rise to this remark. Orchestra.
balcony and gallery were crowded, and
the overflow poured into the boxes. There
were lawyers, doctors. editors, architects.
real estate agents and clubmen in the
audience together with women, whose
names are often found in the list of thos e
who add brilliancy to social functions.
Tie occasion of this great authorizing
was the production of Fleron's dranati
cation Of Alexander Dumas, the younger's
story. 1.-The Clemenceau Case" The
play retains all the original plain
ness of the story which the
broad license of the modern stage will
permit and those who went expecting
to see and hear something spicy had no
cause to complain. They saw the model
scene with all its realistic yividness aud
heard some plain talk which would not
have smote upon their ears had they been
in a fashionable drawing room.
The lover of good acting who was pres
ent had no ground for finding fault either,
for with the probable exception of one OF
the players, the cast was an excellent oae.
The LA was Miss Emma Bell, a pretty
and conscientious young actress, who
played the part of the naive young girl.
the taithIess wife and the soulless en-
chantress with grace and skill. 10 fill
such a role without becoming coarse and
indelicate is no easy task. but Miss Bell
acquitted herself of the difficult part with
artistic taste.
Mr.. Albert Bruning was the Pierre
Clemenceau. the wronged husband, and
proved himself to be an actor of more
than ordinary ability. Miss Jennie Ref
farth was the Countess D~obronowska,
Iza's mother. and ably sustained the part
of an arch adventures. The other parts
were filed by Max Rosenberg, Almo
Starm, f. B. Howard. j. S. White. Miss
Virginia Holland and Miss Katharine
Walsh, in an acceptable manner.
The quartette of French Novelty Dan
GERS, which had been billed SO attractiveiy
and suggestfveIy through the town, came
on at the unheard of time of
the end the last act and
proved exceedingly remarkable. The
most remarkable thing about them. per-
haps, was the fact that the quartette was
| composed of two willowy and serpentine
young ladies. They were attractive both in
form and feature and were most dexter
ous'' with their black hosed lin BIS. which
the projected from a bewilderiug maze of
LOUNGES and laces and pink aud yellow
gowns in a most startling manner. Their
gyrations fairly brought down the house.
and when one of the young women
turned a complete somersaul6 the enthu-
siasm of the audiences knew no bounds.
The pleasure of the evening was great
IL marred by the conduct of the gallery.
which several times Interrupted the most
emotional parts of the play with idiotic
comments upon the performance. and it
is not at all to the credit of several young
t. 4-l -, .L.
Hill, that they evinced 81 disposition to en-
courage the gods In their annoyance.

THE ghost of Orestes Cleveland is
1t Graves for a companion.

THE Hoboken EUening NeWs tries
to offset the shocking revelations re-
garding the alliance between the
police force of that city and the green
goods men by an af~fectation of horror
at Superintendent Smiths charges that
the Jersey City police captains have
fallen into a rut. 1t is no use. Even
if our police were as bad as theirs, two
wrongs would not make a right; but
in fact our officials are only accused of
a little slowness from long jogging in
the same ut, while the suspicious re-
garding the Hobpken force point to
absolute corruption. Our more or
less esteemed hamesake will perhaps
be able to appreciate the shade of
moral difference. 1t is a good sign
for Hoboken that Mayor Stanton has
taken hold of the subject. The first
product of his shaking up of the force
is the exodus of the swindlers from
town. MI. Stanton is a man of ener-
getic and vigorous character. When
he takes hold of anything. he is pretty
sure to put it through. He has a
bright career and many honors ahead
of him.
