'the present season can be set down as
the most successful the present New York
theatre managers have experienced thus
far -
Buffalo Bill is at present in New York
talking about his show which will be
directly in front OF the World fair
grounds in Chicago. 1t will cost $4,000
to get it ready.
Lottie Collins is to head a vaudeville
company of her own next season. 1t Will
be under the management Of her husband
(Mr. Cooney1 and Charles Harris, a son
of The well known Boston manager.
Anna Boyd, who was for long time the
widow in "a Trip to Chinatown, - in the
Madison Square theatre, New York, now
plays the role in 1.-THE Dazzler' in which
the late Kate Castleton was much sd
mired.
Miss Maud Adams, who is the leading
lady in John Drew's company in "The
Masked Ball'' was but nine months old
when the footlights first glittered between
her and the admiring public in one of j
K. Emmet's plays.
Charles H. Hoyt has been working
steadily upon his new piece, which is to
be satire on the state militia. He in
tends this production to be the most pre-
tentious of any he has yet undertaken.
At Houston, when Jeffreys Lewis
reached the point in Forget Me Not''
where she searches her pocketbook in
vain and says, 81 have no small change"
a coin was thrown on the stage by a gal
lery boy. The incident stopped the play
for several minute.
Miss Mazda Craigen, formerly the lead
ing actress of the Booth Mod eska COM
bination, is this season playing the chief
female parts with Thomas w. Keene.
Miss Craigen is graduate of the Boston
Museum Stock company, and though
young in years has played many import
ant parts.
The report last week that Edwin Booth
intends to return to the stage next season
was denied promptly. From those that
know his broken condition it received no
credence. II is sad to contemplate the
fact, but it is evident nevertheless that
Mr.. Booth has given his last perform
ance. At least SO says the Mirror.
The Hanlon Brothers are among the
wealthiest OF theatrical managers, but
they have given the public value received
for all the money spent with them. When
''Superba' was burned out in the Cleve-
land fire the Hanlons suffered a loss OF
S27 200. They rebuilt the piece and made
1t, SO it IS claimed, more magnificent than
ever.
new operate star to the public next sea-
son in the person of Katherine Germaine,
who was born in Washington, but is
resident of Brooklyn. She is twenty
three years old and described as very
beautiful, with a fine and Well-trained
voice. De Koven and Smith are now en-
gagged on a new opera, in which Miss
Germaine is to be starred. Mr.. Hills
contract with her extends over a term OF
years.
Mr.. Nat Goodwin, who passed through
New Y ork recently, wore pair of eye
glasses, the employment of which he e1
planned to his friends by saying he had
been undergoing severe trou BILE with his
eyes for some weeks. The optic nerve is
somewhat affected, according to Mr..
Goodwin's physician, and he is threat
ened with granulation OF the eyelids. Mr..
Goodwin does not anticipate any perma
nent trouble, but is greatly annoyed at
present.
Carmencita, the Spanish dancer, after
getting full measure OF newspaper no.
toriety as stage attraction, will be given
an opportunity before Judge Beach of the
supreme court of New York to see how it
seems to figure in an American court as a
correspondent in divorce suit. Mrs.
Rose Moss, wife OF Charles Moss, who is
known on the stage as one of the ''Broth-
ers Borain, Disappearing Demons, -
charges Carmecita with having usurped
the affections of her particular Disappear
ing Demon.
Sunday night amusements appear to
grow in popularity in New York, judg
ing from the number of announcements
made and the size of the audiences. The
amuSements include concerts of both
classical and light, sacred and secular
music, lectures and variety performances.
AS yet none of the theatres repeat on Sun
day night the performance they give on
the other nights of the week, and it is
question whether New York would &C
cept this innovation with favor.
Dunlop's Stage Netos says of the
Italian actress, Duse: 'sShe is intense,
high presured and severe. One cannot
imagine Dus se trying on new hat, or
having tooth filled or owning powder
puff. A 'chappie' waiting at the stage
door, or dude and bird and cold
bottle are things not dreamt OF in her
philosophy. She would wither a chap
pie with look and dude would shrivel
up like spider on a red-hot shovel if she
shook her CORY locks at him just once. -
JEFF d. Bernstein, the husband and
manager of Vernona Jarbeau, is looking
for fortune. Years ago his father, Isaac
Bernstein, was one of the organizers of
the Louisiana Lottery. Bernstein lately
bought out one OF his two associates. He
kept his investment a profound secret,
even his family being ignorant of it.
Nine years ago he died worth $500, 600,
leaving his property to mis- wife. A year
after his death his shares of the lottery
stock were found in his safe. His heirs
tried to bring about settlement with the
lottery company, and j. A. Morris, then
the main owner, is said to have offered
them 81, 500, 200, but this was refused.
Five of Isaac Bernstein's six heirs began a
suit three years ago for an accounting and
for Bernstein's share of the profits in the
lottery company. jeff Bernstein is one or
these heirs.
