1.-THE star, end who it will be remem-
hered was the Joshua Whitcomb in 1.-THE
Old Homestead" for the past four years,
Ia a New England play, and is said to be
one of the best that has been given to
this country for years, because it is real,
;s nictured with fidelity to life, is a re-
production of the manners and customs
IF rural life. The plot is simple story,
inst the same as father and mothers
experience with their children every day,
and is a thread holding together the NOV
ing panorama of city and country life.
Miss Marie Wainwright, whose beauty

stage. will be the starat the theater on
Thursday night in ''Man and Wife"
This is Augustin Days dramatization of
Wilkie Collins story of the same name.
The plot one of the most powerful and ex-

sole right of which Miss Wainwright has
acquired. The company supporting Miss
Wainwright is as usual one of far
more than ordinary merit. 1t includes
Barton Hill, Nathaniel Hartwig, Alfred
Burnham, Louise Muldener and Dorothy
Thornton.
Modjeska will make her first appear
ance in several years Tuesday, Jan. 8, as
Rosalind in Gas You Like It."
With no character has Modjeska be-
come more thoroughly identified than
with the graceful heroine Rosalind, in
that exquisite idy1 Of the Forest of Ar
den In this character the tall, we'll
moulded Polish actress, dons the doublet
and hose with as much grace as she does
the wOmanly garments OF the gentle
Rosalind, and brings to her delineation of
the character so much tenderness and
poetry that her scenes are made charm
ing love stories fashioned for dramatic
portrayal The Rosalind of Modjeska is
too familiar, and has TOO long been sub
1ect of critical contention, to require a de-
tailed discussion for by a majority of
critics, her Interpretation of this part
stands first.
The Remenyi concert at the Ludden &
Bates music room Thursday, Jan. IL, will
be an event in music circles. 1t will be
the celebrated viollnist's first appearance
T. al -
ing talent to assist in Remenyi's Ameri
can tour, the management has exercised
special care, and is highly satisfied with
the result, having happily secured an eff
Gent and ell-balanced auxiliary to the
great violinist's performance in the fol-
lowing popular artists Miss Minnie D.
Methot, soprano; Mile Florence Sage,
solo pianist and accompanist, and
Mr.. James W. Marshbank, baritone.
A well-known musical critic, writ

ut is the personality of the man that
charms His quaint, strong individual
ism colors every cadence and makes his
selections more his own creations than
those of the composers. His triumph lies
IN his wonderful power of expression. He
Is without rival in his ability to inter-

gives brilliant piquancy to his execution
AT one moment the speaking instrument
Is all tenderness, at the next it breaks
into witticism and laughs in trills of
contagious mirth. At times his touch
IS so delicate that the bow
seems only to hover like magic wand
over the responsive strings. Every shade
OF feeling he expresses. He plays with
every fiber of his being. 1t would be hard
to tell whether head, hands or violin had
most to do with the unique, artistic
effect. His earnest absorption and the
delighted smile that gradually enveloped
his face as he forgets the audience and
caresses his violin. are a study. The
spirited fourishes of his bow are never
out of harmony, and serve only to accent
uate his mannerisms. His triumphant
cchild-like air as he reaches climax is
irresistible"
Mrs. Laura Mehrtens will afford the
music-lowing public an opportunity of en-
Joying delightful musical evening Mon
