The Theatres.


This week will be the last of Rose Cogh-
lan's engagement at the Walnut st. Thea
tire. "a Woman of No Importance" in
which Miss CoghIan opened her engage
ment, presents a story of extraordinary
interest to all classes of theatre-goers as
well as those who occasionally turn to the
theatre for amusement or diversion.
Added to this, il is perhaps one of the
brightest plays in the way of dialogue
since "The School for Scandal was pro-
duced, and these things, together with a
splendid organization that supports Miss
Coghlan, have combined to crowd the
theatre almost to its utmost capacity, and
will surely do as much for the coming
week. Frank Daniels in Little Puck"
will follow Rose Coghlan at the Walnut.
Variety entertainments were the origi-
nal forms of theatrical amusement known
to the ancients, and in these days it is Civ
ing the legitimate performance a hard
push for the first place in the minds ofthe
theatre-going public. One of the most,
and it might be said the only perform
ance that has access to the stages of the
best theatres in the country. is the How
ard Athenaeum Vaudeville Company that
is to be seen at the Park Theatre this
week. 1t was accorded most liberal and
fashionable patronage on the occasion of
its earlier visit to the Walnut st. Theatre.
and from the high class of its perform
ance, and the reputation it left behind Its
success earlier in the season. will be du-
plicated at the Park. Evans and Hoey in
"a Parlor Match" will follow the Howard
Athenaeum Vaudeville Company at the
Park.

playing at the corner of Broad and Cherry
in the Winter Circus Building in Philadel-
phia, have become the great success of the
season. In themselves they form an ag
gregation such as has never been equalled,
and as though not content with success,
Carl Hagenback, the proprietor, has sent
to this country new attractions to augment
the performance already given. None
of the animals which have created such a
sensation will be taken away and the new
corners will but add to the greatness of
the performance. Prominent among the
new attractions is William Philadelphia,
the heroic lion tanner who was 30 severely
injured while in New York by the big
lion Black Prince. He has just returned
from Hamburg and will be seen in a start
ling act. Signor Barri comes with two
monster Russian acrobatic bears which do
performance which is said to be the
most remarkable ever seen. Another
startling attraction will be Mile. Mignon
with a collection of the largest reptiles
in captivity, which she puts through vari-
GUS tricks accompanied by flock of doves.
There will also be young lady, lion
tanner, who is said to be member of one
of the aristocratic houses of Europe, who
became infatuated with the profession
and has taken it up largely tor the love of
it. Hagenbeck's animals are now on their
third week and remain only short time
longer. No one should miss the oppor
tunity to see them. Two performa noes
are given daily and children are admitted
at half price. It is the most wonderful
performance of the age.
