The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-01-06

To be able to am1lse the theatre-going pub
lie with an attraction original, bright and
not vet in the least offensive to the home
loving patrons of the stage, is certainly a
feat which nowadays deserves well OF those
who desire to enjoy a few hours hearty mer-
riment. In this respect Comedian Barry,
as Martin McShayne, in 1.-THE Rising Gener-
ation,n offers a rare treat, whose great
merit has been conceded in New
York, Boston and other cities, where
he has been seen in his new
creation. The stars own personality. IS SO
sunk in his portrayal OF the IRISH laboref,
contractor, and afterwards state senator,
that it is hard to believe that this is the
same genial sport and family man whom we
all know SO well, and whose friends are
legion. His experience and training has
been a long and varied one, and his phenome-
nal success of late years in the pure lrlsh
American comedies, representative OF scenes
and characters in everyday city life, IS de-
servedly popular with all classes OF true
Americans. Mr.. Barry has always portrayed
his original and humorous creations In a
pure and wholesome vein free from vulgar
ity or horseplay. He will, no doubt, meet
with a hearty reception by patrons OF the
Academy this week.
The attraction at the Opera House for the
week beginning Monday next will be the
sensational drama, Master and Man" 1t is
one of New Works latest successes, and was
first produced at Palner's Theatre. Since it
has been put on the road it has filled the the
aires everywhere it has been presented, and
commended by both critics and public to be
the truest and best drama ever seen. The
scenic effects are well worth seeing. The
company is headed by the romantic Young
actor, Frank Harrington, who is surrounded
by very clever people such as DAME Jarrett,
Charles Sanders, Miss Fealy, Miss Marion,
Miss Fish, etc.
Ross, Hoboken Theatre.
sShe, made. her first appearance at Ross
Hoboken Theatre, last evening, and capti-
waited a large audience. The representation
of the romance is an excellent reproduction.
The scenery Is lavished and the oriental COS
TUNES donned by the participants are gorge
Gus. The scenic effects are especially good.
The thread of the novel is followed through
closely, and those who nave read it can fol-
low it with a degree of pleasure. Since the
play was presented in these parts a prologue
has been added, which explains much OF the
earlier part of the plot that formerly had to
be guessed. The engagement closes tonight.

Opera House, New York, will be the big

lions are the riot and the modus operandt of
