these until later in the season, that is when
the swells OF Tuxedo and Newport and other
fashionable watering places have returned TO
their cosmopolitan pleasures.
Dixey received several salvos OF applause
from numerous friends in the audience that
sayored more of sympathy than appreciation,
however. Coon Hollow" is the title OF
melodrama which was also presented for the
first time at the Fourteenth Street Theater.
1t can be dismissed in three words, according
to the unanimous ideas of the critics. 1t was
worthless.
''Shaft No. q" play Of similar description,
had its first presentation at the Columbla
Theater. Although a number of clever peo-
pie were included in the cast 1t failed TO
score.
"Young America" comedy drama in four
acts by William Young, was presented at the
Columbia Theater in Boston and met very
favorable reception.
BALTIMoRE's NEW JULIET.
Baltimore also had an event of interest at
Ford's Grand Opera House, where a new
Juliet, in the person of Miss Nora o'Brien,
made her debut She is said to be
very beautiful girl and made most profound
hit with the critical Baltimoreans. / am in
formed that she will surely be seen here under
the management fof Mr.. Tunis +. Dean and
supported by Mr.. Frederick Pauldwin, of this
city.
John /. Sullivan was seen in a new play at
Sing Sing. n. Y. written by Ed Price, noted
criminal lawyer of New York, entitled "a
True American. The house was crowded,
and a great many people present managed to
deceive themselves into the allusion that Mr..
Sullivan was an actor. Apropos Of the fact
that Mr.. Sullivan appeared in q new play, So
called. il is perhaps worth while to reproduce
programme actually compiled by witty
Boston writer. Il reads as follows:
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. -. James j. Corbett
Ghost of HRmlet's Father. John l. sSullivan

.......-.-................. Steve Brodie
Polonlus Introducing his specially act OF forg-
ing checks IN fun sight of the audienoel,

Player Queen......-...........Mr Mrs Leslie Carter
The programme would perhaps be more
properly presented among the personal men
tion of dime museum freaks. The writer re-
fers it 10 you as a unique bill of human
curios. There is no more reason, however,
why a Legitimate actor or actress should be
connected with these curiosities than a street
fakir should be placed in juxtaposition with
some Well-established mercantile firm.
An honest actor, conscientious and tall
ented, who has risen TO the top Of the ladder
should be regarded with intense admiration.
The actress who has passed through the sem
sationalism of the present day and upheld
her reputation is a little short of heroine.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Sullivan, Miss
Pollard, and these other what-nots are no
more TO be considered in relation to the legit-
innate profession than three-card monte
man or the shell game manipulation should
! be connected wi tn the ministry. r. w. S.
