Novelties are few in dramatic circles in
New York at present, and the closing of
the Garrick makes the small list of occu-
pied theaters still smaller. 'Trilby' has
passed its one hundredth performance at
the Garden Theater, and so successfully
that there is no reason to expect anything
but continuation of it till the fall
Mile. Adelina Lansoni has arrived in
New York. where she is arousing good
deal of attention. In European countries,
where she has been appearing for five
years, she has earned the title Of 1.-the per-
feet woman" The most startling feature
of her performance is the Sandow act, in
which she has placed upon her chest a
platform upon which horse and its rider
are driven.
Henry Abbey and Bramstrokes are
almost in daily consultation regarding the
American tour of Sir Henry Irving. The
only new plays in which the English actor
has been seen are don Quixote'' and a

of the original proposition, show that
although it may have been contemp plated,
no revolution is possible.
There is no action in the play and there
are no situations. There is only converse
ton, but of kind which interests and
charms by its naturalness and cleverness.
1.-THE Case of the Rebellious Susan" is
almost entirely at the mercy of the COM
pany which presents it, for its life or death
depends upon the information of word,
upon gesture or glance.
In many respects the company at the
Baldwin is an ideal one for this particular
play. Kelley is an actor whose taste and
feeling have never been so well employed
as in the part of Sir Richard Kato. He
makes of it a finished, artistic piece of
work, full of detail, good sense and senti-
ment. 1t is never overdone, it leaves

and then throws it upon the mantel, sinks
into chair and throws kiss after the
lady who has just closed the door behind
her. 1t is beautifully done; as delicate
and fine as bit from Barrie or TX Marvel.
What makes last weeks performance at
the Baldwin notable is that besides Kel-
cey's acting there are other points pleasant
to dwell upon. Theater.goers have become
almost reconciled to theatrical menu con-
sisting of but single well-cooked daintilv
served dish among a number of under
done and overdone meats. So we are
extravagantly grateful, perhaps, for feast
in which the piece de resistance is accom-
panied by other appetizing dishes. LIE
Moyne's Sir Joseph Darby is creation
trimming with humor, with unctuous real
ism, with purest comedy. His maudlin
remorse, his appreciation of his own fail
ings and his wife's virtues, his fearful sor-
row for the past, and, while he is about it,
for the future, the picture he makes with
his inconstant old head bent in shame and
his face covered with his long white
hands, and, at last, his tipsy return to gal
lantry, it is all perfect little circle which
contains lot of human nature, the work
of an experienced, able actor.
Of Ferguson Pybus, Fritz Williams has
made thoroughly enjoyable character.
His makeup, his voice, his feebleness, his
expressive feet and knees, his very egotism,
make him irresistibly funny and his glee
when his manly young wife gets into
trouble is all that is needed to complete
the bright little sketch.
Mrs. Walcot is good, Annie Irish is bet
ter, and the support as a whole is very
satisfactory. But what of Lady Susan?
San Francisco has not been introduced to
the rebellious young woman. Isabel Irv-
ing has the talent, a rare and enviabIe one.
of course, of being pretty, and her gowns
are almost as pretty as she is. She looks
the part, but she isn't it. She repeats
Lady Susan's lines; the rest one must do
for himself 1t is an excellent role. To
play the petulant, saucy, willful, loving
and lovable Lady Sue is the opportunity
of an actresses life. Miss Irving makes
Lady Susan noisy, restless, shallow
woman who can't have suffered much
from Jim Harabin's faithlessness, for she
never shows a trace of love for him or of
the heartache that should underlie her re-
vengeful words. Miss Irving's Lady Su-
san rebels because her vanity has been

COLUMBIA THEATER.
The Frawley Company to Play an English
Racing Drama.

Boucicault's comedy, 1.-THE Jilt" will be
produced at the Columbia Theater to-mor-
row night by the full strength of the
Frawley company. Miss Katherine Gray
has been especially retained for this en-
gagement.
"The Jilt" is an English play, and the
events of the racetrack enter largely into
the story; indeed all the characters and
the incidents are associated with the win
ming of the great Yorkshire cup.
The play to follow "Tbe Jilt'' is "The
Ensign for which Miss Lansing Rowan
has been especially engaged as leading
lady. A quantity of new scenery is being
prepared for this production. During the
last week of the Frawley company at the
Columbia Theater a request repertoire,
composed of plays acted during the pres
ent engagement, will be produced.

Theater-goers are evidently returning in
large numbers from the country. Last
week, in spite of the fact that nearly all
the theaters in town were open, there was
scarcely one that had not good audiences.
The heat of the dog-days has driven

The play is not elaborate as to incident,
but it has strong motive, and possesses
that background of glitter and excitement
which is always associated in plays and

is a young Southerner, who goes through
much tribulation on account of his devo-

relatives are Confederates.

nsam'l of Posenp in London,

NJ. B. Curtis, an American actor, made
yesterday afternoon at the Gaiety what
we believe to be his first appearance in
this country, playing Samuel Plastrick in
SAM of Posen, s" somewhat ALPHABETICALLY
described as comedy-drama in four acts,
by George H. Jessop. The play is, in
truth, a mere framework for Mr.. Curtis
clever impersonation, says the London
Graphic. In a fantastic and impossible
costume Mr.. Curtis presents what we
take to be Dutch Jew engaged as COM
mercial traveller to firm of diamond mer-
chants. Thus occupied, he has the chance
of befriending virtue and defeating wick
edness and the opportunity of using more
mixed metaphor, Malapropism, and in
volved sentences than have ever before been
heard in play. In most American towns
the actor and the entertainment are known
and favorably received. Mr.. Curtis per-
Torrance is devoid neither of cleverness
nor art. So far as this country is con-
cerned, his dialogue lacks the browning
and indispensable grace OF intelligibility.

'The Case of the Rebellious Susan
which in London and New York provoked
the critics to inquire with Sir Joseph
Darby, "What are we coming to?n has
been received by San Francisco with beau
tiful trustfulness and simplicity. This is
due, in part, to the introduction in the
last act and at the latest possible moment,
of Lady Susan's affirmation that she has
been ''indiscreet, but not unfaithfuI,"
which settles debate, chokes all question
ing before it can be voiced, and is con-
cession made to public sentiment at the
risk OF spelling the effect OF the play.
But the delightful ease and grace of its
dialogue, the knowledge of the world and
OF human nature it shows, the skill with
which real men and women are drawn,
and the delicacy in the treatment of deli
cate subject rank this as one of the best of
modern comedies. THE Case of the Re-
bellious Susan" is problem play, which
was solved by that great mathematician
and moralist, the public, when it compelled
Henry Arthur Jones to eliminate his un-
known quantity-the extent of Susan's re-
bellioE-and by the insertion of a few lines.
