.lovable prince whose fathers ghost urgea
on to final disaster.
The Providence Opera House was filed
to standing room. IL was n splendid
audience with a considerable part OF II
made up of persons who are infrcquently
seen In this playhouse. Judging from
the applause bestowed, perhaps q large
number In the theuter were unfamiliar
with the story OF Hamlet and were
seeing the play for the first time. Some
of those present were under the impress
sion that they were seeing Salvini, the
father of the young man whose ambition
tempted him TO play the greatest charac-
ter in ove-mastering tragedy. Some
were in the theater from curiosity and a
few were there expecting TO see much
better Interpretation of Hamlet than
they did. So you see a great many were
not disappointed.
Mr.. Salvini is young, and close study
OF this ubtle and wonderful character
may bring satisfactory results in time.
The part is new to him, he has apparent
Jy only played II a few times, consequent
ly faults in reading, efforts to empha-
size the meaning by new tricks, and other
things adopted to make a new" Ham
Ict were to be expected.
= Mr.. Salvini mould consider Hamlet
advice TO the players and then he wouldn't
be quite SO acrobGtic, so to speak. The
tragedy bad the best stage dressing seer
here, and the supporting company wat
well balanced and competent. Miss Fit;

This afternoon Mr.. Salvini played "Ruy

This evening he Will be seen in his "a

Keith's Opera House.

Providence has not enjoyed the sonor-
Gus comicality OF that effervescent Mi
lesiRn comedian, John Kernel. in two
years, and so II will awaken considerable
interest among am usement lovers 10 know
that Kernel will begin n weeks engage
ment in his new farce. "The Irish Alder
man, " az Keith's Opera House, Monday
next, November Is. This piece is said to
be an extremely humorous satire and
travesty on politics, as the game is played
in New York. Just now there is a peculiar
appropriateness in the presentation OF
this farce, so near is II TO election time.
But We have no such character in our
city government as Alderman NJ. Nc
Sweeney, which John Kernel so unc-
tuously.. portrays. This is the story OF
the play:
The first act finds Alderman McSweeney
in his private Office INDUCING in a quiet
and harmless Irritation with Dora, his pref
~ typewriter. Louis Louis, McSweeney's
confidential secretary, Is maoly in love
with Dora, ana objects to insolvency
sharing her affections with him. In seek
ing revenge, he informs the Alderman's
jealous wife, who pays him an unexpect-
ed visit at his Office and instead OF find
ing a young and pretty typewriter, sees
an old andsugly one. Dora had, in the
meantime, disg uiscd herself with & mask.
Coroner Hoba is Alderman Mcsweeney's
f~riend-that IL, Mac says so, and he II
quite willing to lend money. Hoba II a
German politician, and, like insolvency,
falls I'm love. McSweeney and Hoba are
both nominated for the mayoralty, and
the rivalry between them il intense. Me-
sweeney engages the services OF Messrs.
Tubs and Mud, two political ~heelers. who
are ready TO do anything or anybody
for a consideration-to stuff the ballot
boxes I'm order that his (McSweeney's 81
election IL assured. He informs his
friends to vote early and often. and pro-
ceeds TO buy up all the votes in sight.
The result, OF course, Is an overwhelming
defeat for Coroner Hoba. |
A capital company OF comedians Is en-
gagged TO support Kernel. and they in.

emily without reducing its popularity.
In recognition OF this evidence, many
musicians of note, have remarked that
~ he Fencing Master" will live to please
music loving audiences when all DE.
Koven's present works are forgotten. In
fact, Paderewski expressed this opinion
when hearing the opera during its run In
New York.
The production generally is n in
which all the elements that tend to assure
an operate success are involved, and so
artistically blended as TO form one charm
ing harmonious whole. The scenery ~
pleasing and especially interesting, as
the views in Italy II represents are actual
reproductions taken from photographs,
obtained for the purpose. The costumes
provide local color 10 the surroundings,
as do also, the numerous minor accesso-
ries employed by the characters. The or
ganization Is headed by Katherine Ger
maine and includes Miss Nella Bergen,
III. w. Ire Dennick and Signor Tomasi,
the we'll known musical director, who
was eight years with Emma Abbott.

Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Thester
Company, which appaers here beginning
Monday, is the best example now before
the public OF continuous work OF talent

number Of years. II has been admitted
by managers that only i'm this manner
can high excellence be attained in the
profession. Yet, in so few instances can
this be made financially profitable, that
but few managers have the hardihood TO
attempt to achieve that result. Manager
Daniel Frohman Is, at the present time,
the only one who has succeeded in main
tanning a company OF this sort during
the past eight years.
The plays offered upon this engagement
are entirely from English sources. This

Identity of n Man Held Here Has
Been Revealed.

luent1fy OF n Man Held Here Has
Been Revealed.
Several weeks ago. soon after the Aqua
creek train robbery, a man, who beat his
way here on a Baltimore and Ohio ex-
press train, was arrested and sent to The
wosxhouse as a suspicious person. He
was arrested by JOIN. Green, the cOlored
detective in the railroad companys en-
ploy. Green met the incoming train at
Hyattsville, and rode in on the end plat
form of the baggage with the man,
pretending that he, too, was a tramp.
When the depot was reached about mid
night and the man arrested, he gave his
name as John Smith, and a loaded revolver
was found on him. Judge Miller heard the
mans case, and managed to get from him
the statement that he was from Maine.
The prisoners conduct aroused the judges
suspicion. and a letter sent to Maine
brought the response that such person
as John Smith had rented a post office
box where Smith, as he called himself said
he rented one.
1t happened that q Maine newspaper
printed a story of the mans arrest, as
detailed in The Star at the time, and De-
tective Odln of Lewiston, Me-, thought the
man must certainly be Leon Hutchins, who
was wanted in Auburn for burglary. After
communicating with the authorities mere
the Maine detective came on and identified
the prisoner as Hutchins. The prisoner
is only about twenty-five years old, but
has served time in the Maine penitentiary.
When but eighteen years old he was sem
fenced for burglary, and after serving this
four years sentence he was arrested for
two other burglarieS and was acquitted on
techncality His last oifenSe, 1t is al
legged, was breaking into Bates College at
Auburn and stealing q telescope, worth
about $500. With this telescope he travelled
about the state and then left for the south.
Detective Odlin started for Maine with
the prisoner this afternoon.
