even and without blemish, but that cannot
be said of Maryland Calvert, who is sup
posed to be a type OF the Southern woman
OF the veiIie roche. In the scene in which
she asks the Federal officer To lay down
his sword it may be pleaded that she IS
under terrible mental stress but in typical
heroines there can be no stress intense
enough to excuse the utteranee OF so left
handed speech. 1t lets down the dignity
of the character To the extent that we feel
that she has committed an inaccessible
improperly.
In ..Gen. Jackson" on the contrary.
the Confederate idol is made dramatically
the stonewaIl of the war, aud is as i'm
:assive and rigid in matters of duty as
could have been expected even OF the
yeriest general of Sparta. The play VIII
go well.
People fIocked to the New National
Theater to hear Camille D'Arvihe in
'.The Magic Kiss" The main idea is the
renewal of youth; vide Goethe in Faust
with the Browne liquid, and Ponce de
Leon in Florida, looking for the Fountain
of Youth. The magic kiss, however, as
the great restorer, lent a new interest
in the story. What else there is in The
Magic Kiss has already been exploited,
with the exception perhaps that Miss
D'Aryille could with advantage have her
Then they wouldn't crate so.
Corinne who, and which, was at the
Academy of Music, told and sang to people
that they had all heard it before many
time. Quite right. but that did not detract
from the fullness of the measure OF amuse-
ment Christopher Columbus is now having
run on the stage in some form or the other
and he couldn't esca pc the Corinne combina-
ton naturally. II one were asked for the
best thing in Corinne"s play he would un-
doubtedly say the Nichols sisters as the col
ored damsels Their work evinces careful
and intelligent study of their character.
They are jewels in their line.
Manager Easton had great show In
Kalbfieids Orpheum Stars. People haven't
laughed so much in long time as they did
all week with these bright people. These
stars cover the armament OF light dramatic
and mixed dramatic and speciality work.
Pretty little violette McAvoy and Rodgers,

people whom we should allli to see again.
There was more of this style and Of an
equally high grade at kernan's Lyceum
Theater, where the well-known Weber and
Fields ssyaudeville Club entertained full
houses all week. The Broadway sketches by
| the Burt sisters was something high above
the ordinary in the way of burlesque and
satire of loud people on the great metro
poIitan boulevard. Mcintyre and Heath and
| Will H. Fox were three good cards, which
! were PLAYED with their usual finesse.
Weber and Fields are of course lnstitu-
tions, but they have the knack and ability
| of making the old over again to be as good
as new, and they make the new the main
point in the show.

| There was whole weeks run OF good
plays at the LAFAYETTE Square Opera House
| with Mr. Frederick Warde in the leading
roles. "The Mountebank," 1.-THE Lions
Mouth" and the old standby. "Damon and
Py.hias," were played in Mr.. Warde's
usual excellent style. The best attended
of the plays was, perhaps, 1.-THE Lions
| Mouth" The new theater is becoming
more popular every day and is good for
brilliant and large audiences this week
| when Miss Ada Rehan viii appear with
her bouquet of inimitable charms
