room was darkened and here the actress
had quarter OF an hours quiet rest be-
fore she again appeared at the table.
Somwhat later in the evening she took
another 10 minutes repose. Her extreme
nervousness makes IL almost impossible
for her to sit through any long affairs,
popularity which plenty OF lesser people
can appreciate.
Irving e said to Be a man of extraoroi-
nary vitality. lie rarely gets to bed be-
fore 3o'clock in the morning; often NOT
until much later. When he IS playing IN
his own theater in London he often serves
a supper on the stage after the perform
ance. Some OF the members OF the com
pany are invited TO remain for the feast;
others are from the front OF the house;
others come by appointment, from differ
ent theaters. There Is good eating and
drinking and tPlking, and somewhere
about l or 2 O'Clock Irving begins to thaw
out, To mellow, To rpen. Jnere is no
temptation then for any one to break up
the party, and as for Irving, he is good
until a. m. After he goes home he may
go TO bed, or more likely sit down to
read and study.
Irving's Macbeth has always been a
source OF varied emotions to his audi
ences. Some people are amused by 1t;
some people resent it; people do
almost everything except admire it.
nevertheless, Mr.. Irving has persisted in
his Interpretation of the character,
and no criticism has seemed to dis
courage him. 1, is significant that the
other day. in Philadelphia, he expressed
his determ ination 10 re-read the character.
"When get back to England" he said
thoughtfully," mean to take up Mac beth
once more and study IL again thoroug hly'

misconceived the character"
Mile. Rhea, although she has adopted
America as her home, Is nevertheless a
Frenchwoman at heart. She has many
enthusiasms, but none SO strong as her
admiration OF Napoleon. She was talking
TO woman's club in Western town not
long ago and she quite electrified her
audience OF comfortable American wives
and mothers. She said she woulu like to
show them the difference between mans
and womsn's view of Napoleon. She
quoted Colonel Ingersoll as saying that
he would rather have been a French peas
ant and worn wooden shoes, have lived
in hut with vine crossing over the
doof, and his loving wife and children
by his side, and have gone down in "the
tongueless Bilence OF the dreamless dust
than to have been that imperial impersona-
tion of force and murder known as Eapo-
leon the Great" " hen Mile. Rhea had re-
peated these words sne said: "These are
the thoughts OF n man. As for me l ad-
mire the general. pity the martyr, let
God Judge the man, and would rather
have been Josephine, wife OF Napoleon,
beloved and forsakeu, than the greatest
woman in the universe"

Westminster Theater.

The Rentz-santley company, one OF the
oldest and best known amusement organ
izations in the country, Is at the West
minister Theater for the present week. The
company was greeted by fair-sized audi
snces yesterday afternoon and evening,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather was tritie too warm for indoor
comfort.
The performance began with an anus
ing burletta by Charles Lovenberg, en-
titled "Twlll Be Club" in which Joseph
A. Leslie was spingarlic, Miss Maud ID
Arcy was Trilby. They were assisted by
q corps OF capable comedians and young
women who were good singers. There
was plenty OF singing, dancing and mer-
rymaking. In the olio were such artists
as Francis Bryant, a story teller, original
as well as funny, Charles Fisher ana Net
tie Crowell, In an interesting acrobat
sketch; Lillian Jerome in sentimental
songs; Joseph A. Leslie and Elmer Tenly
in a comedy sketch; Carrie Scott in
character songs and James Won Leer and
Joseph Barton in rough and tumble
negro sketch. The whole concludes with
a brrlesque entitled "Robin Hood, Jr.,
with Miss Lottie Elliott In the leading
character. She is assisted by every mem
ber OF the company. During the run OF
the burlesque Miss Alice Clark introduces
q somewhat novel dance, which meets
with much favor. The scenery and cos
tunes are excellent and the program Is in
the whole up to date, and Will be repeat
ed every afternoon and evening during
the week. There are number OF living
pictures presented in a most artistic man
Der by the young ladies of the company,
which form no small part OF the attrac-
tion OF the entertainment.

~ stThe Wizard of the Nile" is one OF the
1Clliest and most entertaining comic
operas ever seen in this city. NO one
forming a part OF the large audience In
the Providence Opera House last steyening
will take exceptions to that statement IL
was a warm night, yet the "house"grew
enthusiastic and called the principals OF
the stunning big company To the front,
and the actors and patrons IN the thea
ter were ON the best OF terms, Tor all that
hsd been promised had been fulillled.
ssThe Wizardn came with metropolitan
reputarion-- something that does not pos
sess the value OF former days--and the
fame that 1t had won was endorsed IN
this city.
Librettist III. Il. Smith has produced an
Interesting story and Victor Herbert has
made some excellent music in this work.
Indeed, the music is worthy of a better
place than extravRgant comic opera.
Ringing choruses, and tuneful solos and
duets, associated with peculiarly funny
situations, handsome costumes, pretty
young women, impressive scenery,
stage full OF color and animation and
company OF capable players sums up the
excellence OF "rhe Wizard OF the Nile"
Comedian Frank Daniels has been seen
D number OF times in this city, but he
never before approached the level OF his
excruciatingly funny impersonation OF
the strolling wizard. lie is funny In re.
the time. His eye brows are as eloquent
as Irving's, and the play OF his face would
make craven image smile. Most of
his work Is original and his grotesque
effects never approach that distressing
stage known as apparent hofse play. He
is spontaneous, ever fresh and constantly
interesting. lie is a comedian with good
voice and. sings mis- liberal share OF the
score with the skill of musician.
Miss Morton is an unusually handsome
woman, and she is a winsome vocalist.
She.became prime favorite at onsS. Miss
Royce impaired the proper amount OF vi
vacity to her part and her strong voice
was in pleasing evidence.
In fact, the entire company was first
class In every essential particular and the
opera was stunningly staged. As an en-
tertainment "The Wizard OF the Nile"
has not been surpassed this season. IL
will be performed this evening and to-
morrow afternoon and evening, when the
regular season at ths Providence Opera
House will be closed.

Lothrop's Opera House.

II seems M II Miss Katherine Rober
grows more and more popular every sea-
non and II is no wonder that, in spite OF
the hot weather, Rober and "Camille"
should serve to comfortably fill Lothrop's
Opera House, as they did yesterday after
noon and evening. The story of Alex
ander Dumas wonderful woman Is well
known, but it Is ever delightful for all
that, and when produced by such able
people as Miss Rober and her company
cannot fail to attract. The scenery for
this production is largely new and very
nice, while the music is quite up TO
Leader Links high standard. Mr.. Weber
and Viola McNeiil render vocal selections

Matter Considered by Mayor and Finance

sioner Smith and City Engineer Shedd,
went over to Blackstone park yesterday
afternoon to look over the ground and
consider the visibility of adding TO the

This would be.desirable, II was thought,
aud would not cost over $4,000 or $780,
600. some OF the land might have to be
condemned and some, would not. Then
theirs are three lots within the park which
need little further negotiation to set
matters on proper basis. Later In the
afternoon there.was a fuller meeting in
the Mayors Office and proposed additions
TO Roger Williams Park were discussed.
1t is stated that several thousand dollars
worth OF land around No Bottom pond
