"The Girl / Left Behiud Me-" although
not strong piece, has caught on at the
Baldwin. There was drop after the
first night, but last night there seemed to
be rally of the forces and the benches
were well filled. The company has before
1t the task of sustaining the
public interest in this frontier
military drama for three mortal
weeks, and the members are bracing them
selves to work it out. They have reason
for doing ii. II Belasc0 and Fyles, with a
new lot of acting people, can make a sue
cess in theater for three weeks where
Bronson Howard's "Aristocracv" failed
so miserably in the same time, they will
be justified in leaving the city jnbiant at
the good impression they will leave behind
them.
1.-THE Picture" as a curtain-raiser and
''Coralie," an adaptation from the French
of Delpit by Mr.. Peter Robertson, will run
the week out at the StockweIl. Miss
Blanche Bates has made her mark in the
first piece, and Miss Ethel Brandon In
the second deepened the impress
sion as finished actress al
ready accomplished. She is showing
her true acting quality by winning laurels
for the personation of an ungratetul char
acter. 1t is easy enough to sail with the
tide before a sympathetic audience, but il
is more difficult, aud. al the same time. a
more artistic task, to stem that sympathy
and achieve applause for the work. Miss
Ethel Brandon is doing this.
Jay Rial and 1.-The Wolves of New
York" are here. They will howl at the
California when Jane" gets through with
her neat little Londonism.
"Ship Ahoy" is great piece for the
TivOli. 1t is drawing to an extent quite
unexpected, laughing success from be-
ginning to end. Those who have
not heard Tivoi audience laugh.
do not know the effect produced
by such a crowded audience with
all their risibe muscles in motion at the
same time. ship Alloy" has taken so
well that it Is more than probable the man
agement will break the rule at this house,
and continue it for forth ght.
"CEums" at the California, the curtain
riser that took the place of "The Setting of
the Sum-" proved to be very accepta BILE to
a very large audience. Miss Jennie
Yeamans, who has been quite i'll from
overwork. did not appear In the cast; but
she was well enough to give a brighter
showing 10 Jane" on account of the ex-
emptiOn from the added duty of an exact
ing part. The Iestocq-NichOls ada ptation
from the French, called JANE" was full
of life and vivacity last evening. and was
greeted with uproarious applause.
1t is now understood that Harry Mann
will not return to this coast at present and
that Louis Morgenstern will assume the
general management of the syndicate
theaters till Alfred B6uvier has accom-
plished his European excursion.
The Bates Comedy Company that went
out to do the fairs throughout the interior,
closed out at place called Arbuckle and
returned to the city. The fairs were
found to be very dull for the theatrical
