The last opportunity that Philadelphia
audiences will have of seeing the rollick-
| ing Jane" will be at the Park Theatre
this week. There perhaps has been no
comedy of late years that has held such
strong hold upon the theatre-going pub
lie as Jane" The character has a new
and most interesting exponent in Jennie
Yeamans. She presents it in a manner so
entirely different and yet so worthy, that
it is not only delight, but at the same
time almost entirely a new performance.
The others members of the company are
those of the original cast who were mater
Tally aided in the success of the comedy
when first produced.
Americans Abroad" comedy by Sar-
dou, will follow "Jane" at the Park Theatre,
presented by the Lyceum Theatre Com
edy Company, which includes Maude
Harrison, j. H. Gilmore and other artists
of equal prominence.
There is no more popular actor who WIS.,
its Philadelphia than Robert B. Mantell,
and his re-appearance at the Walnut St.
Theatre this week can be set down as al
most an assured success. He opened last
night with "The Corsician Brothers, +"
which will be repeated at the Wednesday
evening performance; Tuesday and Thurs
day nights he will perform the dual role
in 1.-THE Face IN the Moonlight" and at
the Wednesday matinee he will be seen
as Claude Melnotte,' in "The Lady of
LYONS" at the performance on Friday
night and Saturday matinee, "rhe Mar
BILE Heart" will be given, and Saturday
night Mr.. Mantell will present his first
performance in this city of "Othello."
Mr.. Mantell is an exceedingly ambitious
actor who gives himself entirely up to
study when not directly employed upon
the stage. There is no reason why he
should not succeed as the hero of legiti-
mate drama, as be has youth, talent and
is peculiarly fitted physically to assume
such roles.
