THE METROPOLITAN.
Hermann.

The entertaining and ever-welcome
Hermann, aided by Nine Hermann,
will be the attraction at the Metropoli-
tan opera house, five performances only,
beginning Sunday, March 4. including
Wedne sday matinee. What constitutes
the charm and inSureS the success of
Herrmann's work is his admirable fac
ulty for entertaining his audience while
performing his difficult feats of leger-
demain with little comedy interpretations
and bits of by-play that serve the
double purpose of amusing his audience
and distracting their attention from his
nimble and expert sleight-of- hand
work. His programme for this season
includes. besides his marvellous spirit
seance, in the course of which the shade
OF "Ta-Ra-Ra Boom-De-Aye Done to
Death' will be displayed, his latest and
greatest illusion, and the one which
Hermann considers his masterpiece.

PiPaCV.

So long as actors can evade paying
royalties Oh the meritorious work of
others there will continue to be great
number of theatrical pirates sailing on
the dramatricaI sea of the United States.
The latest returns for the eyer-increas-
ing list, as they appeared in the last
issue of the Mirror, are: A company
called the Frohman Comedy company
recently played week at Painted Post.
NY. Another company playing "Uncle
Toms Cabin" is called the Abbey
Dramatic company.
Information comes to the Mirror from
Maysville, KY, to the effect that Ida
Van Courtandt is playing I'm Miz-
zoura," under the title of the The
sBlacksmith's Daughter"
The PinkertOn detectives employed
by Charles Frohman have discovered
that Kittie Rhoades and her company
are playing .'JaDe," under the title of
Polly" in the northern part Of this
state.
The Harper Dramatic company Is
pirating "My Partner" and 1.-The Two
Orphans in Texas.
The Wilson Theater company is play
ing Southern Minnesota towns, billing
with Walter SanfOrd's "My Jack" and
''White Slave" paper.
The Riley company is pirating After
the Ball'' in Ohio.

theater. will be responsible fer the
scenery, Mr.. Powers designing aud Mr..
Davis painting 1t.
Those who saw "Urania" when it
was here Will remember the wonderful
electrical effects, especially the imita-
tiop of lightning. all of which. by-:he-by,
are patented. Mr.. Mayrhofar, of the
Carnegie Music Hall company, their
designer, has not only agreed to re-
produce them, but to add to them as
well.
The action of the piece takes place In
Pennsylvania, where the hero. Jim
Rathburn, is discovered attempting to
complete an invention Which shall save
his employer and firm friend from finan-
cial ruin. In years gone by this same
employer had incurred the enmity of
the villain of the cast. who now, through
motives of revenge, is trying in every
way to thwart the efforts of the hero.
For this purpose he hires man to en-
ter Rathburn's workshop and destroy
the invention. In doing So the Villains
tool is struck by lightning and killed.
In falling the man catches hold OF an
electric wire through which a strong
current is passing. This fact, coupled
with certain utterances. lead to the con-
victiOn of Rathburn for murder. He is
sentenced to be electrocuted, but is re-
prieved just as the warden Is about to
turn on the death current. All ends
happily. as every well regulated drama
should.
While the effects are melo-dramatic,
yet the piece is in reality story of
everyday life. There is no shooting.
stabbing or violent ranting in any part
of the play.
The strongest situations are IN the
third scene of the second act, where a
ear Is set loose by an explosion of dyna-
mite and dashes down the slope in Shaft
No. g carrying destruction in its path,
and again in act three, when stroke of
lightning comes down in the middle of
the stage and kills the Villains dupe.
For the second scene of the next act
Mr.. BiXbY has chosen all electrocution
chamber, patterned after the one in use
at Sing Sing prison. Your reporter was
shown several clippings, which went to
show that it was not at all improbable
to have the hero reprieved at the last
moment.
In several things this drama differs
from the ordinary run of plays. The
villain is not i'll love with the hero's
sweetheart, and the hero does not
slaughter eight or ten men in self
defense.
Mr.. Bixby is arranging with Mr.. Lift
to bring "Shaft No. 90 to st. Paul after
the Chicago engagement. Besides the
author, who will leave the Grand and
go Oh the road with the piece at the
close of this season, Theo Hayes. of the
Bijou, in Minneapolis, is financially
interested In its production. The cast,
which has not yet been decided upon,
has nineteen speaking characters in it.

greatly lowered during the past few
years does not admit of an argument.
nor does this decadence seem to have
occurred any less In the first than in
the second or third.class houses. The
slegitimate has given place to the knock
about stuff of the variety stage. and
while the true histrionic artist has
found his occupation gone, the supply
sof concert hall talent has hardly been
equal to the demand. The present sea-
son would seem to have brought some-
thing of change, and to give hope
sfui promise of better things in the
future. And were we asked to mention
tthese who have been the managerial
pioneers IN this reform we would name
sas first and foremost Messrs. Abbott
and Tillatson. In giving to the public
slast season their fantastic comedy,
"Niobe." they threw down the gauntlet

ideal of the polished Gypsy gentleman

did anything badly; he is too much of

which he is cast. and in one so well
suited to his qualifications it is needless

and the swing falls into hundred
pieces on the stage.
Another one of the chief illusions of
Herrmann's repertoire is his famous
sensational mystery, 1.-The Escape From
Sing Sing" 1t is founded on the recent
escape of the two condemned prisoners,
Pallister and Roehl. from Sing Sing.
A feature of the performance is the

curtains or anything else. suddenly, as
wave of Herrmann's magic wand, she
vanishes through this solid mirror.
This illusion bids fair TO create
as big a sensation as anything
that Hermann ever performed. An
other feature of the programme
will be the display of Herrmann's

st. Paul has no idea what dramatic
talent lies dormant in her midst, and
Mr.. Bixby's statement. when inter-
viewed by GLOBE reporter on the sub
lect of his new play, that he felt that it
was best to first present ''Shaft No. 9"
TO the public III the New Haymarket at
Chicago, seemed very proper. In the
past our citizens have not greeted any
local effort with very much enthusiasm,
fully keeping up to the old saying that
"A profit q is not without honor save
in his own country"
Mr.. Bixby's previous effort. Little
PhiIs Sweetheart" although it has not
yet been produced. has met with the
most favorable criticism on the part of
those who have read it. and this last
piece is considered by all, the author
included, to be much superior to the
first one.
