A BURRILL ST. INCIDENT.
THE SHORT WOMAysOLILO0UIzED
OUrLOUD IND COT A BLACK EYE.
The Why aud Wherefore Are of subor-
What Happened.

1t was about noon Sunday. The tall
woman stood in the doorway of the house
at the corner of Burrell and Chapel
streets contemplatively watching the
short woman move down the street. The
short woman had just left the house. She
carried mff-box and several bundles.
She was soliloquiZing out loud for the bene-
fit OF the tall woman in the doorway. The
language OF the so!iloquy was vulgar and
not flattering to the tall woman.
The tall woman contemplated the short
woman's back for while and her ears di-
lated. Then she reached back of the door
and took down something that looked like
n bunch OF keys. She strode to the
sidewalk and in a moment was up with
the short woman.
What followed il indescribable. The
bundles and muff-box flew right
and left. The short woman's
hat went into the air. Her hair
was yanked down over her shoulders.
Finally, after a gallant but Intellectual
struggle against odds, the short
woman screamed. Fifteen seconds
after Chapel street was crowded from
curb 10 curb. The tall woman retired 10
her bouse and shut the door. The short
woman exhibited black eye to the
crowd

"Ibs, N ms a Realistic pramatis,. ("

DR.. Burton gave the last of his
course of lectures on Ibsen Mon
day evening at Sayles Memorial
hall. An aesthetic and attentive
audience listened to his "Ibsen as a Real
istic Dramatist." The lecturer said in
brief as follows:
Heinrich Ibsen is the only living dram
atist all of whose works have been trans
lated into other languages. From 1868 to
last year he has written and published
ten dramas, each of which deals
with the burning social questions of the
day. Three of these have been translated
into English and presented on the Ameri-
can stage.
The criticisms and scurrilous LAM
poons that have been SO freely vented
against Ibsen are utterly groundless. One
can only criticise justly when he is able to
read the plays in the original
language. As matter OF fact,
Ibsen handles dramatic themes with a
terrible realness. He is a hard pill for
some people to swallow because
he demands concentrated thought
and he has been considered dam
gerous physic simply because he gives no
attention to the perils OF opposition. He
breaches the doctrine OF ones duty tow
ard himself. He is to be loved Us second
Carlyle, for he is in no sense q sham, but
a truthful and realistic writer, a gsnuine
descendant of the ancient Scalds u his
native land.

worth all that was charged for admission.
The Marie Sanger company OF burlcsquers
and specialists under the direction OF
Dick Little, an amusement caterer well
known In this city where he was en-
p.oyed for years, is q big organization OF
of reputable vaudevillers. Nearly
everything on the bill at the opening
performances yesterday had something to
interest. The opening extravaganza,
" Princess PEARL" and the clos
ing burlesque entitled "Joan
OF Arc,' brought out the
full strength of the company which
included several shapely young women
In bright and abbreviated costumes. Dur
ing the burlesque the Fin Fam dance
was shown by i've frolicksome
young women and the specialists OF
the company had more or less to do with
spicing the performance. Tho olio was
especially strong and IL introduced Leon
ard and Hart in negro comedy; Laura Ben
nett In vocal selection; Harry Brown and
Mabel Harrison in sketch and La Drew, q
female impersonator and unusually clever
dancer. The bill was full OF "ginger" and
the performance was entertaining oil the
time. The same program will be offered
every afternoon and evening this week.

A visit TO Lothrop's Opera house will be
worth making this weak, because it has
been a long time since a moro meritorious
performance was offered there.
Maria Lovell's time honored play,
entitled, "Ingornar," he's been seen
almost as many times as any one OF
Shakespeare's masterpieces and It's presen-
tation in every thoatcr patronised by
English speaking people attests its
worth and attractiveness. II was
surprisingly we'll played at this popular
theater yesterday by the stock
company, headed by L. p. Sullivan
and Martha Conway. The barbaric
physical and mental strength of
the part was forcefully illustrated by
Mr.. Sullivan, and his picturesque imper-
sonation was generally commended. But
for imperfect clocution he could
be classed in the ranks of players
who make speciality OF robust
and heroic parts. He looked Ingomar
almost to perfection and his strength OF
voice and physical development assisted
in the delusion wonderfully. Miss Con-
way also had an excellent understanding
sf the character OF gentle Parthenia and
her Interpretation OF the armorer's daugh-
ter was winsomc and graceful. The quar-
rel scene as developed by these two was
worth oil that was charged for admission.
The Others in the cast contrib
uting TO n rounded and well balanced
performance were Fred Il. Blame, w. M.
Roe, James l.. Byrne. w. II. Danvers,
Thad u. Gray, ~. w. Josephs, M. V.
Franklin, J. III. Hcaly, q. Il. Stone, ii. J.
James, ID. II. Williams, N. o.
Vandenhon, Miss Viola Bancroft and
Miss Hattie Morris. "Ingomar" was put
upon the stage carefully and the struggle
of Greeks and harbarians was mimicked
interestingly. The same play will be pre-
sen;cd every afternoon and evening this
week.

Drama, Comedy and Burlssqus Con-
stitute The Bills This Week.
ENTERTAINMENTS EVERYWHERE.
a Notable Concert by the Arion Club
Attended by . large Audiencs-Au-
spicious Opening Of tho Bsnent Week
at Providence opera House.

An audience OF assuring proportions oc-
cuped the Providence Opera house
last evening, and the benefit
week opened auspiciously. Archibald
Clavering Gunters dramatization
OF his own novel entitled "Mr. Potter of
Texas was the play and it was presented
by company of fair ability. There We're
several new players in the cast and that
initiated somewhat against the smooth
ness of the performance. The few draw
backs noticeable last ing will be
overcome at subsequent presentations
and an even and meritorious entertain
ment will be the outcome OF more
familiarity among the players.
The principals in the cast are competent.
Randolph Murray Is an actor OF expert
ence and his impersonetion OF Mr.. Potter
was consistent and sustained,
looking from the viewpoint OF
the authors intention. Josephine
Loane played the part of Lady Sarah An
nerley much above the average, and demon
strated that she had learned her art in q
good school. j. s. Thompson had various
things to do, and he came out OF
trying ordeal satisfactorily. lola Pome-
roy, familiar to playgoers in this city,
made her first appearance on this stage
and showed variety OF costumes.
Lucille la Verne impersonated the
daughter OF Mr.. Potter, in conformity
with the text Of the play and made very
good impression. An especially enter
tanning part of the performance was an
exemplifcation of scene setting in
full view of the audience under the
direction OF Master Machinist William
F. Doolen. The deft work merited the
generous applause bestowed. The orches-
ira, directedlby Leader Wendelschaefer,
played classical and popular Sc
lections and contributed an agreeable
share to the general performance. The
same bill viii be offered all the week, in
cluding Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, and friends of the benc-
ficiaries, Harry w. Calender, Charles G.
Collin and William F. Doolen, will have
ample opportunity to make the weeks en-
gagement profitable.

The musical farce comedy entitled "The
Voodoo" and company of skillful per-
formers entertained good sized audience
in Keith's Opera house last evening. AS a
matter Of fact the manipulation OF the
soda siphon by comedian Thomas Z. Muir
ray was almost q whole show in itself. A
very unimportant part of the farce was
made its most interesting moments by the
quiet, unassuming and quaint work Of
Mr.. Murray. The audience Uttered and
as the part the siphon was to play sug-
gested itself the spectators swaycd with
laughter. The farce itself is of the aver
age kind and its success depends to large
extent upon the capacity of the players
employed. Those IN the cast last evening
were evidently carefully selected for their
specialties fitted into the general run Of
the farce without interfering with its
continuity. Comedian Murray dominated
the stage and his almost constant presence
was acceptable because at no time was he
tiresome and most Of the evening he was
refreshingly funny. Miss Ada Bothner
also had generous share of the perform
ancc and her efforts won deserved favor
They included an incarnation dance, and
Spanish dance. Her costumes were
handsome and she wore them gracefully
The other speciaIties were by Miss Kitty
Beck, singing and dancing with harp ac-
compartment BY Miss Kitty Wolfe and
topical songs by Mr.. Murray and Thomas
j. Grady. Quartet singing and solos
added to the general pleasure OF the per-
formance, which tak4n oil together made
very pleasant entertainment. "The
Voodoo" will be presented every evening
this week and Tuesday, Thursday and Sat-
urday matinees.

"THE MESSIAH" LAST NIGHT.

The Long Weeks of conscientious Re
hearsai Yielded Mngnificent Results.
BY universal consent the rendition OF
the Messiah " last night In Infantry hall
was acknowledged to be su-
perior to any musical service ever brought
before the public by the Arion club. The
long weeks of CONSCIENTIOUS rehearsal
told plainly in every note OF the
great oratorio. The solo talent was never
more auspiciously chosen and the work of
the orchestra, under the direction of Mr..
Emil Mollenhauer, amply supplemented
the efforts of soloists and chorus. The
"Messiah," majestic in its theme and grand
In its conception, is worthy the
most arduous labor of preparation
its talent, its energy and its reputation
as a musical organization.
The soloists were Mrs. Henrietta Has
call, )prano; Miss Emily Winant, con-
tralto; Mr.. William ii. Rieger, tenor,
and Herr Emil Fischer, baritone.
In the opening solo, "Comfort
place.in the hearts and admiration of his
audience that he maintained TO the end.
Mrs. Hascall, especially in the two sweet
Cot OF1oASlSu ooiOS, SOiHt OhtO lliul
and ~ Know That My Redeemer Liveth."
will never be forgotten. Her
voice is of that sweet, clear,
resonant quality that adapts
itself to all classes OF music, but is espec-
tally appropriate in the inspired passages
OF such work as Handel's "Messiah."
She, as well as the other soloists, were
wafinly encored several times, but the
great length Of the program prevented re-
sponse.
Miss Emily Winant was frequently ap-
plsuded for the artistic manner in which
she rendered the several contralto selec-
tions. A rich, even voice and high con-
ception OF the possibilities of the
great oratorio combined to give her
first place in the rank of contralto
soloists. Herr Fischer needs no introduce
tion to Providence audience. He has
pleased them before and it is but neces-
sary to add that his gifts were never more
warmly received and appreciated.
To Mr.. Jules Jordan, who conducted the
music, is due in a great measure the
credit for the success of the Messiah +" last
night. He has faithfully drilled the men,
bers of the club for many weeks and the
labor was apparent in the fruit. "The Mes
siah comes but once year and there arc
few who heard it last night who will fail
TO be present at future renditions.
