PLAYS and PLAYERS
IdyIlic alabama" Has Re-
turned to Us After a Long
Absence.
DEWOLF HOPPERALS0 HERE
"The Ensign" Haworth's Ma
val Drama, Will Be at
the Grand.
NEXT WEEKST0CKC0MP ANY
Will Open Its Season at the
Grand--Gossip Of the
Stage.

Alabama" will be with us the first
four nights of this week, opening at
the Metropolitan opera house this
evening. Three years have elapsed
since this charming play was pre-
scented here 1t was too long an alb
sence. 1t is not sufficiently apparent
why it has been denied to us for
such lengthy period. But now that
it has finally come this way again,
perhaps it is just as well not to seize
such an occasion to find fault with
those who have directed the tour of
this play.
Every man and woman who can
see alabama ought to do so. 1t is
an ornament and an honor to the
modern stage. 1t breathes the poetry
of love, teaches the lessons Of truth,
dwells in the atmosphere of purity.
1t is fraught with the good and the
beautiful. Simplicity and humanity
are it's charms. To see it is like read
ing one of Dickens books; your
kindest impulses are stirred, you feel
the thrill of sympathy and charity
1t touches the tendereSt emotion of
the heart, for its key note is love.
Alabama" is a story of the South
told after a score of years have mel
lowed the hard, cruel grief caused
by the war. A meadoWlark has
built its nest in the mouth of a silent
cannon-that is the beautiful symbol
of inl, 10 O, ~
The characters are simple and nat
ural. The central figure is Col. Pres
ton, an old Southern planter, of a
chiValrous, tender nature, albeit his
memories Of the war in which he
lost his all are too keen and bitter
to remain mere memories. They are
realities to him. He not only lost his
property, but his only son, who was
a cadet at West Point at the break
ing out of the war, joined the North
ern cause, believing it to be the Just
one. The play opens with the. return
to Alabama, some eighteen years
after the war, of Col. Preston's son,
who has assumed the name of Can't.
Davenport. The story that follows is
ASli44lilelA " lIlCSl dill ln6aIeT-SOefS.
so famous has the play become, and
therefore viii not be repeated here.
The cast is not exactly the same
as that which presented Alabama
in st. Paul three years ago. There
are two familiar faces, however. in
the organization. F. C. Bangs is
still playing Col Preston, and Glenn
ent cambridge impersonates Capt.
Davenport. The other principal
roles are distributed as follows:
Mrs. Page, the widow, Inez Knowl-
ton; Carrie Preston, an Alabama
blossom, Ethel Irving; Squire Tuck
En- L. P. Hicks; Col MoberIy, q relic
of the Confederacy, George B. Miller;
Mr.. Armstrong, Bingley Fales; De-
catur, the colored servant, Edward
Mass; Raymond Page, E. E. Ray

composer of serious music, has at
least originated as many catchy
tunes as any man in America, has
abundantly provided Or. Syntax"
with score or more of lively melo-
dies, and it is said that the music
and mirth of the opera are about
equally matched. Mr.. Hopper has
discarded to great extent the
horseplay and buffoonery which were
such considerable features in his re-
cent productions When Or Syn
tax" was first presented in New
York city the dramatic critics unan-
imously agreed that Mr.. Hopper had
never been seen to such advantage
as in the dole of the good-natured
pedagogue.
The company which surrounds Mr..
Hooper this season is said to be the
largest and best he has yet had, and
contains many more names than usual
of actors and actresses who have
earned the right to be considered
comedians and condolences of the
first-claSs. The four leading ladies of
the company form a quartette that it
would seem almost impossible to du-
plicate for comic opera purposes, as
follows: Edna Wallace Hopper, who
will be pleasantly remembered in this
city as Wilbur's Ann, in 1.-THE Girl I
Left Behind Me-" Bertha Waltzinger,
until recently one of the leading So
pranoS of the famous Bostonians; Jen-
ME Goldthwaite, a popular soubrette,
who has attracted considerable atten-
ton, particularly in the creation of
one of the leading characters in ''Prin-
cess Bonnie" and Alice Hosmer, a
capital impersonator of eccentric old
women. Among the gentlemen are
Cyril Scott a light comedian, who won
his spurs in Charles Frohmans Empire
Theater company; Edmund Stanley,
the handsome tenor; T. S. Guise, a
popular baritone, and the roly-poly
comedian for the organization, Alfred
Klein.
Mr.. Hopper's forthcoming engage
ment in this city will be limited to
three nights and a Saturday matinee
and will commence at the Metropolitan
opera house on next Thursday even
ing. The reserved seat sale will open
at the box office tomorrow evening.

of the gallant American tar and life
like and powerful sketch of scenes on
board an American man-of-war, 1.-The
Ensign" will probaly please a good
many theater-goers. The play itself
is exciting and the company that will
present it is regarded competent.
The drama has rich setting in the
way Of scenery. Two of the scenes
are laid in Washington. The principal
scene is in the third act and represents
a sectional view of the good ship San
Jacinto, Capt. Wilkes. 1t shows a view
of the main deck and the gun deck
of a man-of-war. The scene was taken
in detail from the United States steam
er Kearsarge, lying at the Brooklyn
navy yard at the time, the artist get
ting some forty photographs and color
studies from which the scene was
painted. The Kearsarge was contem-
poraneous with earlier ships of our
navy in the great rebellion. This is
but one Of the ship-board scenes.
There is another representing the spar
deck Of the same vessel lying at the
Washington navy yard, which is prob
ably the most effective shipboard
scene ever put on the stage. 1t repre-

good-natured and light-hearted pro-
fessor, who esteems it his sacred
duty in this world to make every
body happy. His opportunities
throughout the action of the opera
to carry out this benevolent plan
are varied and many, for the young
girls of Minerva academy, a fashion
able seminary, are all in love with
the handsome students Of a neigh
boring college, and the stern pre-
ceptress of the seminary very natur-
ally does not approve of moonlight
strolls and the customary concomit-
ants.
The story of the opera follows
quite closely the plot of the Ger
man play, "Aschenbrodel, from
which that clever writer, Tom Rob
ertson, adapted his charming COM
edy, entitled School," but j. Cheev-
err Goodwin, the librettist, has not
adhered very rigidly to the German
dramatist's plot, or to Mr.. Robert
sons English version of it, but has
cleverly retained all of it's humor
and little or none Of its pathos. In
Short he has taken the skeleton Of
