the Manhattan Opera-house, which is now
better known as Roster & BiaPs. Mrs.
Bernard Beere, the English actress, opened
the theater and scored a tremendous fail
ure. The season of English opera which
followed lasted just a fortnight. A year
later Roster & Bal and Hammerstein
Joined hands.
The series of rows which led to Ham
mersteins withdrawal from the firm are
matters of recent stage history. He sold
the building for $500, 900, and on the morn
ing that he signed the final check in pay
ment of this amount old Mr.. Roster
dropped dead of heart failure. Hammer
stein makes no bones about declaring that
he has built the Olympia for the express
purpose of cutting out Roster e. Balls.
Time alone can tell whether he will sue
ceed in fulfilling his threat, but to judge
from the attractions he has engaged Oscar
is making a noble effort in that direction.
AS he led into the broad promenade in
the balcony of the music hall-the Middle
way Pleasantous, Oscar calls it-from
which one can obtain fine view of the
stage, he dilated on the splendor of the at
fractions which were to appear there.
noticed that the railing was rather low, so
l said to him:
Look here, aren't you afraid that with
such attractions on the stage some of your
audience will be drawn over that railing
and dash their brains out On the orchestra
chairs?'
'sWell, if there's any fear of that they
must nail themselves down. What do they
expect for so cents? Parachutes
One price of admission, so cents, will ad-
NIT to the theater, the concert hall and the
variety theater. In one respect the delay
in opening the house has proved bless
ing, for it has allowed Manager Rice to
have another weeks rehearsals of "EX-
ceisior Jr."
From the interior of the Rice company
come all sorts of rumors of wars. 1t
might have been expected that when Fay
Templeton and Theresa Vaughan found
themselves in the same company they
would, prima donna like, endeavor to
make things pleasant for each other. On
the road these two young women have
been at it, hammer and tongs. Monday
night, however, was to decide as to which
of them is to reign as popular favorite. If
Miss Templeton does not make big hit it
is not likely that she will stay on the stage
very long. The money which she inner
tied from Howell Osborne has made her m
dependent, and the strain of bringing her
weight from 1870 to 150 pounds in order to
fulfill the terms of her contract with Rice
has rather disgusted her with the obliga-
tions of stage life.
The poor deluded public has just been
taken in once more A notice was pub
llsned extensively last week announcing
that Mansfeld's recent illness had de-
prived him of his memory and he had en-
tirely forgotten the words of his parts.
The story was, of course. manufactured
out of the whole cloth, but the joke of it
comes in just here. Mansfield, knowing
nothing Of the advertising scheme, READ
the report in an evening paper, and imme-
diately sat down to write an indignant
denial. He had just denounced the story

RICHARD MANSFIELD ANGRY.
A Revival of Paul M. Potter's Success
With Blanche Walsh as
Trilby.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 20.-"The fog
is to blame for it," said Manager Oscar
Hammerstein of the Olympia, as he sat him
down on pile of bricks directly under
poster which announced that the opening
of the new playhouse had been postponed
from November Is to November 25. "It' s
the great American climate getting rise
out of me because l have engaged 80
many European novelties to appear here.
l thou bit was prepared to fight all the
elements | was ready to tackle fire, water
and the Police Commissioners all at once,
if necessary, and then this British fog had
to come along and prevent the plaster
from drying. l vowed from the first that
| would open the building on November
IS, and on that date it would have been
opened, sure enough, if it hadn't been for
that fog"
Hammerstein was really pitiable spec
tacle as he spoke these words. Only those
persons who have known this Napoleon of
Harlem for years, and who realize fully
how completely his heart was set on open
ing on the day announced, can understand
what disappointment this postponement
has been to him. No matter what he does
or leaves undone, Oscar Hammersteln Is
an interesting figure. He Is easily the
most interesting character in New YORK
to-day, and when one remembers that six
wears ago Hammerstein knew absolutely
nothing OF the theatrical business his SUBJ
seauent success seems little less than mar
veious. Hemade his fortune as member
of a blacking firm, and in the spring
of 1891, as Harlem had no good con

decided to build the Columbus. 1t
