Wilson Barrett's engagement at the Acad-
envy of Music this week has proved a grand
success, not only financially but artisticaily.
Crowded theatre has greeted every perform
ance, and the repeated curtain calls are a
tribute to merit. AT the matinee yesterday
Mr.. Barrett appeared in ''The Stranger"
This simple story was portrayed in a most
striking manner, and when the curtain went
down on the last act there were few dry
eyes in the theatre.
Last night Mr.. Barrett appeared as Will
fred Denver in "The Silver King" His sue
i cess was even more pronounced thar on the
previous evening. After every act he was
called before the curtain. Miss Jeffries
shared the honors.
This evening and at the Saturday matinee
ssBen Ny Chree" will be the attraction; Fri
day night .Othello," and Saturday night
'sVirginius." There is much interest mani
tested in this latter performances.
No actor ever lived who has done more to
popularize the stage with church going PEG.
Pile than Wilson Barrett, the distinguished
author-actor. In this work he is ably sec
onded by his business manager, j. B. Nc
Cormick, who makes it a point to invite the
liberal minded clergymen of each city he
visits to witness Mr.. Barrett's performances,
and as a result Mr.. Barrett has more church
going patrons than any other star in the
country. This is a most valuable element OF

The Academy of Music offers an especially
attractive programme mex week, where John
L. Sullivan will present his new and original
-four act romantic drama, written for him by
Edmund E. Price, of New York, and entitled
1.-THE Man From Boston" Mr.. Sullivan
seems to have lost none of his popularity, as
everywhere that he has appeared the people
vie with each other to prove their allegiance
to the man who was their idol for SO many
wears. His tour SO far has had somewhat
the character of a triumphal procession,
thereby proving low staunch the Americans
are where they nave once set their affections
on a f~avorite. AT the same time Mr.. Sulli-
van is doing all that is possible to keep the
warm position he held In the regard of the
public by winning a place as an actor. Not
satisfied with merely relying on his great
notoriety to attract, he has made a strong
bid for the respect and favor of his audiences
by having a good play, a strong company
and a first class attraction. Add to this that
Mr.. Sullivan is showing marked ability as
an actor.
The Bon Tom.
Crowded houses rave been the rule at the
Bon Ton since that popular theatre has been
turned into a vaudeville house. The bill for
the present week is one that could not be ex-
celled, no matter where one could go. Every
act is a feature, and this established policy
will be pursued by Manager Aarons at all
times. The celebrated ~cornetist, Jules Levy,
is as big a hit as ever. Mile. Rialta, the
queen of terpsichore, has created a sensation
by her magnificent work in her wonderful
dance creations. Billy and Charley
Jerome, the clever parody writers and sing
ers, are strong cards, while Dolan & Len
harr, in their exceptionally clever travesties,
are received with great applause. The Hun
garian Gypsy Band is an innovation and
takes very well. Sheridan & Forest are ex-
ceedingly clever, while the balance Of the
bill is simply great. Manager Aarons has
succeeded in obtaining an allstar programme
for next week.
Hoboken Theatre.
cdr. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE has proved a
strong attraction at the Hoboken Theatre
this week. Dore Davidson's Interpretation
of the leading character has won applause
nightly. Miss Ramie Austin has also created
a favorable impression by her good work.
The play will continue to the end of the week,
with Saturday matinee.
