4 THEATRICAL REVIEW
Miss Nethersole, the English Bernhardt," a Disappointment.
HER PLAY IS ALSO QUITE POOR.
The Young Actress Is Very Amateurish Little Christopher Columbus" Is Dull and Commonplace skIt-some Interest ing Current Observations.

Miss Olga Nethersole, the ''English Bcrnhardt," has come. She has been seen, but has not conquered. She has not even intrenched herself firmly under the TO
 doubts of the fort of American public fla yor. She made her debut, as is generally known, at Palmer's theater in A. w. Cat ties drama, ''The Transgressor. Of the play little need be said. It may be dis. missed almost in n word-it is worthless, and with the exception of the much her aided great sccnc'' at the end of the third net it docs not contain an episode which would prompt the average auditor to wait to sec what would come next.

Too much cannot be said in praise of tho setting which MT. Rice has given "Littlo Christopher Columbus" The scenery is very good, the girls are particu- lary pretty and very numerous, and the costumes arc elaborate to n degree, except as to quantity.

heard of n manager the other day yyht was complaining that his attractions arr not doing very well on tho road this sea son. Ho wondered why 1t was so when business had been excellent with most of the good companies. Somo friend should have told him why he Is suffering from a lack of patronage. It Is due to the fact that he and many other small managers of his ilk, as well also, 1t must be admit ted, as some of the magnates of tho pro- fession, have n way of sending third grade companies on the road and then dispatch ing ahead n plausibly overwhelming ad- vance agent, who calmly furnishes the newspapers with paragraphs in every one of which appears the unqualified state ment that the play will he presented with the original cast" Of course 1t isn't, and the people who have paid their money to sec first class performance and arc tor tured with one that Is less than passahle nrc naturally disgusted, not to say indig- nant. The next show which is announced as having an ''OriGinal cast" of course suffers, even though the truth has been told about it. That is one reason why theatrical attractions have not done as we'll this year on the road as in tho large cities. This will be different when ad- vance agents cease to stretch the truth to the bursting limit, but that time, accord ing to the best statisticians, will como on the same day that the world shall cease to spin around ''on its own axis, ," as the geographies put 1t.

According to tho weather bureau, New York city has not had q real heavy frost this season, but it Is doubtful whether any one could convince Edward F.. Rico of that fact. Mir. Rico, who made very largo fortune with li92'' and lost n fair sized one with Venus" had secured the American rights of the great London sue ccss''-all things that come from Lon don appear to be successes until they get hcrc-''Littlc Christopher Columbus" and when he sent ''li91" out on the road his importation was put on at the Garden thcatcr. Its reception thCrc is doubtless responsible for his distorted meteorological opinions.
 ''Littlc Christopher Columbus" has some bright moments. They occur when tho spccialtics, which have nothing what ever to do with the slsit. aro introduced. The plot it would br difficult to discover with the Lick telescope. In fact, such an accessory iS not dCCmcd necessary in a play" of that sort, but the indispensable requisite it shall bc amusing-is wOcfully lacking. as it's effect upon tho auditor is depressing rather than other wise. Mcssrs. George k. Sims and Cecil Raleigh openly nvow their complicity in the lihrctto, while Ivan Caryll and Gus tave KCrker are equally frank in assum- ing responsibility for the music. The music, by the way, is really good, espc- eially that of MT. Caryll, who has contrib uted many numbers which arc certain to become popular because they possess q cor tain rOllicking swingincss. MT. Kcrkcr ! has written notking particularly bright, but it is likc all of his music-rather pleas ing and characteristic.

The TransgrcssOr, too, Is stretched to uncomfortable lengths. There Is just about enough in it to make n curtain raiser, and yet MT. Cattle has inflated 1t into long four act play.
 Miss Nethcrsolc could not well have made her American debut in worse drama but as 1t Is tho one which first brought her into comparative prominence in Eng land it is but fair to presume that sho Is seen at her best in it, and it is therefore from that viewpoint that she must ne crit icised.
 Beauty has nothing to do with acting or Rachel. Bcrnhardt, Janauschck, Clara Morris and host of others would never have attained even mCdiOcrity OF tho stage; but Miss Ncthcrsolc's pictures give the i'm prcssiOn that she Is tall, stately and very beautiful. Instead she is rather short, quite awkward and anything but hand some, either in face or figure. These facts, manifest as they arc, naturally put her mt n disadvantage with her American audi enccs, as also did the i'll advised hcralding of her as a dramatic marvel
 In ordinary conversational tones Miss Nethcrsolc's voice is rather pleasing, but in her great emotional scene, when she concludes to stick to her husband even though another living woman married him 20 years before and was never divorced from him, it becomes husky and unplcas- ant. She gasrs horribly to simulate pas sion and has all the faults of Mrs. Ser nard BCCrc with very few of that actrrss' good points. \ thing that npPcars natural with Dusc seems ridiculous when Miss Nethcrsulc attempts it. It is the depicting of overwhelming sorrow by very slow utttcrancc, followed by n long pause and then tho i:,.Sp:ug out of the last word or two of the speech. In the lighter scenes the young English actress shortcomings are still more marked. She mistakes skittishncss for vivaCity and Curglcs and ''goos'' at an awful rate. All in all, Miss ScthCrSole iS excessively crude and anna tcurish in her methods. She Is not in the | same class, even in her chosen field, with Minnie S"ligman, Julia Arthur, Carrie Turner and several other American lead | ing women. It Is true that every now | and then there is n Glcnm of n vague germ of a suggestion of greatness, but 1t will at least take many years to develop 1t into m exhibit which n majority of American tleatcr gocrs will care to pay \ to sec.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-10-26

Wilson Barrctt's old repcrtory must be pretty well worn out, for he Is to present thrcc new plays during his coming Amcri. can tour. One of them recently presented in England Is dramatization of Hall Caino's particularly interesting story, .'The Manxman." As its namc indicates, 1t deals with life on the isle of Man, just as did Ben My Chrce," which was taken from Mir. Gaines ''The Decmster" The English papers pronounce Tho Manx- man" very great play, but their enthu- siasm it is usually safe to takc with some big pinchos of salt. for in many such cases American audiences havc failed to indorse the verdict of tho transatlantic critics. However, Mir. Barrett considers "The Manxman" the best play in which ho has ever appeared, and 1t Is therefore probable that 1t Is possessed of considerable strength.
 Another play which he Is to produce in New York Is said to deal with tho life of Edison, the inventor, while third dis cusscs the social problem in n manner which MT. Barrett himself declares to be decidedly bold. These three new plays will constitute his rcpertory during his coming tour in this country.

HEAVILY ATTACHED.
isaac Marks Sued by His Creditors
Today.
Derious Charges Alleged Against Him
of Defrauding His Creditors-He
Denies II.

Isaac Marks who runs n store at 371
6outh Main street has been attached by
Congdon Aylsworth Company for
fl2oO, by Congdon q Wilbur for $1,000, by
Greene, Anthony & Co. for 800 and by
Murray, Sphinx & Co. for $500.
Some time ago Mr.. Marks made an
assignment for the benefit of the creditors,
and stephen A. Cook was appointed
assignee. A little later dividend OF Is
per cent. wss declared by Mr.. Cooke.
The creditors were surprised at the
email dividend, and the Congdon & Ayls-
worth Company became of the opinion
that goods had been kept in hiding about
which the assignees knew nothing.
Yesterday Mr.. X. G. Aylsworth heard
that there were goods in the lofts of
Marks store, and he promptly attached
Marks. Today, accompanied by Sheriff
Samuel Gardiner, Mr.. Aylsworth went TO
Marks store. Marks wouldn't allow the
two men to GO into the lofts. A police
man was called and the officer told Mr..
Marks that the sheriff had a right to 90
into the lofts, but Mr.. Marks wouldn't
allow it.
IL is stated that Mr.. Marks said all the
goods in the lofts belonged to a man
named Brooks who rented the lofts from
him. He then called in Brooks who said
that II the door was broken in he would
hold Mr.. Aylsworth responsible.
Mr.. Aylsworth and the sheriff then left
the store and went to the dock on the
river front, where they secured
ladder. They returned with ii to the
store ana placed 1t against the
building. The two men mounted the lad
der and entered the lofts by side door.
Mr.. Ayleworth said he found 5000 or
$1,000 worth OF goods in the lofts.
After the Congdon & Aylsworth Com
pany attached Marks the other companies
learned OF the matter and promptly fol-
lowed their example.

AND WHY NOT I?
Policemen Mounted on "Bikes" and
the Ground They Can Cover.

The scheme OF putting policemen on
bicycles, which has been SO often urged in
this country, has at last been adopted in
Paris, where the outlying districts are pro-
tected by men on wheels. They travel in
couples, and cover an amount Of territory
at night thai may be understood from
the fact that two men traverse from
twenty to twenty-five miles OF road way
on their silent steeds every night. AS the
bicycle is noiseless, criminals are not
warned of the approach of the police, as
they are in the case of mounted officers,
and the ease with which long
stretches OF roads can be covered
enables the men to patrol their posts
with great frequency and regularity.
The attempt to establish this system In
Chicago was voted down, and the plan
was also rejected in Milwaukee as not
feasible. A squad of six or eight Paris
policemen on bicycles can travel from the
station house to remote distances in re-
sponse to telephonic alarms with remark
able swiftness.

"reminiscences Of the convention. Mr..

TO VISIT THE VINEYARD.
Everybody Will Take in the Big Ex-
cursion on the City of Boston.

For the first time in years the Society OF
Higher Culture and the Association for
the Bringing to Justice OF Dog Thieves
nrday night meetings in order that the
members may 60 on the excursion of the
steamer City OF Boston to Marthas
Vineyard Saturday evening of this week.
Aside from these two societies there are
hundreds OF private individuals who nave
signified their intention to take the trip
in, and the state room capacity OF the big
boat is very liable to be fully tested.
The reason for this very general desire
to take the trip in is obvious to anyone
who has ever been aboard the City of Bos-
ton or at M arthas Vineyard.
1t was several hundred years ago that one
OF the real early people bought this par
ticular island from the Indians for pair
of link cuffs, an undershirt and IL pounds
of tobacco and gave it to his favorite
daughter Martha. She made vineyard
out of IL and the island was famous
for its wild grape product for years and
years, until concrete was invented, and
then the growing OF grapes gave way to
the letting OF carriages and veloci-
pedes and entertaining summer visitors
The land, studded as it is with
big hotel and cottage colonies, still re-
tains much of its primitive and historical
character, the delight of the tourist from
the city without tradition or landmark
A relic Of the earlier stage of
railrosding is still in working order there
in the shape Of a narrow guage road
which girts the island. Old ocean is still
there on every side, replete with foam and
billow scenery and affording facilities for
both surf and still water baths.
Side by side with the summer palaces
OF the rich are the antique huts OF the
ancient fishers, who hove their lines
from Marthas' coast before tho Indians
had smoked up all the tobacco or turned
the cuffs. Such is the brief history OF the
famous island that everyone ought to see
and can see by paying one dollar to go on
the City OF Boston from Providence, Sat-
urdsy night.
