The Theaters.

Next Monday evening" March 5, new
ballots, new specialties and two new fea-
lures will naugurate the fourth week of
1.-THE Black Crook" engagement at the
Academy of Music.
Seldom on the Philadelphia stage has
solo" dancing been SO throughly appreci-
ated as in "The Black Crook" at the
Academy Of Music The movements of
Mile. Tornaghi, Signor Salyaggi and Mile.
Maveroffer and Mile. Rizzi are redemand-
ed at every performance.
1t is said that there is quite little rv-
airy between Sadie Macdonald, the pert
little soubrette of "The Black Crook"
company, and petite Florrie West, both
trying their utmost TO Ontdo the other in
their songs and costumes SO far neither
seems to have the advantage. What the
ensuing week will bring forth is hard to
say, in their struggle for supremacy.
Mr. Oscar Wilde, the apostle Of the Ill
ira refined. has done much that is clever
in dramatic and literary work. but first
among his efforts is Lady Windermere's
Fan" which comes with the original
company and investment to the Park
Theater, Philadelphia. for a week, be-
ginning last night. Previous to the writ
ing of this play, the majority of the
american fh0DllF. ~ must ne CtlUIeSSPuy
| looked on Mr.. Wilde as a rather frlvo-
lous dispositioned person, who spent his
| time principally in lotus eating and seek
ing harnonies in color and taste. Lady
| Windermere's Fan" is a marvel of cpl
grammatic ingenuity, and it has been re-
markedly successful since its production
IN Boston two seasons ago Its dialogue
IS notable, brilliant, and yet it is not to
be regarded as essentially a play of words
/ The story is one of absorbing interest, in
tense in parts, and never tagging for a
moment in interest. The COSMOPOLITAN
theater goer, who has seen and grown
tired of almost eyerv thing, will find in
Lady Windermere's Fan" an innovation
which he will warmly welcome 1t holds
the mirror truthfully MP to modern soci-
ETY. and yet its darts give no offense.
The lesson is a pertinent one, although
no attempt is made to preach. An i'm
pulsive woman is brought to a proper re-
aIization of thougbtless flight from her
/ husband and her home. In the splendid
company are Virginia Harmed Mrs. F. G..
Phillips, Miss Evelyn Campbell, Mr..
Frank Gilmore, Mr.. J. G Sairle, Mr.. E.
| S. Abeles, and others Matinee perform
ances will be given on Wednesday and

See, George P. Thomas, John Brawin,
Geraldine Mccain, Carolyn Balleau, Cora
Tinnie, Lottie Mortimer, and Margaret
Deane Mr.. Hoyt has also brought to
that city Bessie Clayton, q Young and
beautiful girl, whose dancing can best be
described as star.lingly sensational, and
whose wonderful success has brought
swarm of imitators Although Miss Clay
ton had never appeared in that city, her
fame has spread to every part of the land.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Walnut
Street Theater has almost limitless re-
sources as far as scenery is concerned,
the management. in order to make this
production perfect, bought a car load of
scenery from the New York house, max
ing the production identical even to the
smallest detail with that given at the
Madison Square Theater. Among the
new musical numbers that will be heard
may be mentioned "The Pretty Widow"
Love Me Little" Love Me Long," 81
Long to See the Girl Left Behind Me"

this play, including, of course, the ever
popular "0n the Bowery," written up to
date 1t is superfuous to say that the
piece is in for another week of crowded
hOuses
