Ellis. No expense has been spared, it
is said, in the staging Of this produc-
ton. The company engaged to assist
Mr.. Ellis is reported to be excellent.
1t includes such we'll known players as
Miss Clara Moore, Miss Lottie Vincent,
Miss May Stone, Miss Carrie EZier,
Miss Mabel Gardner, Percy Plunkett,
William F. Carroll, Thomas Grady,
Frank Gerard and others. Mr.. Ellis
has the reputation of being one Of the
most pleasing singing comedians on

writer Of pretty songs. Among his new
songs to be heard in "The Alsatian"
may be mentioned please Mr.. Santa

Writing of problem plays, which are
so much in vogue, Hillary Bell says in
the New York Press:
There is one play house in town that
will have nothing to do with problem
plays, dramatic indecencies or other
EeW-fangled fashions Of the times. We
may go to Daly's without leaving good
manners at home. 1t may be that the
manager at this theater is a dramatic
Rip Van Wrinkle. The spirit Of modern
theatric audacity has not yet awakened
him from the dream that old friends
are best. He is the American Charles
Lamb and lives contentedly among the
classics, loving their black-letter script
and careless Of the fact that the tide
of progress has swept the most of us
further up town. Augustin DAILY is an
antiquarian. To his mind art never
grows old, and the yoys of his youth
remain the delights of his maturity.
He believes in good humor, rejoices in
wit and argues that there is plenty of
sunshine in life although the later dra-
matists insist on covering our horizon
with clouds.
Messrs. Primrose and West are MAX

Of their career as partners and per-

gigantic proportions. They have al
ready received a basketful of letters

There are 1877 boxes in the Garden, but
owing to the demand for them, many
more will have to be. built expressly for
this event. Well-known managers are
coming from all parts Of the country.

ated with Auustin DAILY as stage man
ager and actor, Mr.. Stapleton devel-
oped discriminating judgment and
original taste that have won for him
an enyiable standing in the regard of
the representative men of the dramat-
ic profession. Mr.. Stapleton is also
dramatist, having written several orig

more from foreign sources. The mem

Perhaps the brightest song in His
Excellency," Gilbert's latest ope1a,
runs as follows, to a guitar accom-
paniment:
A hive of bees, as I've heard say,

The hive is full and the weather is warm.
We rather think, with due submission,
The time has come when ought to

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
Up spake their queen, and thus spake she
This is a matter that rests with me,
Who dares opinions thus to form?
I'll tell you when it's time to swarm!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
Her majesty wore an angry frown,
In fact her majesty's foot was down
Her majesty sulked-declined 20 sup
In short her majesty's back was up.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
Her foot was down and her back was up!
That hive contained one obstinate bee
(1is name was Peter, and thus spake he
Though every bee has shown white feather,
To bow to fashion am not prone
Why should a hive swarm altogether?
Surely bee can swarm alone?
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
Upside down and inside out,
Backwards; forwards, round about.
Twirling here and twisting there,
TOpsy turvily everywhere
Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz
Pitiful sight it was TO see
Respectable elderly high-class bee
Who kicked the beam at sixteen stone,
Trying his best to swarm alonei
Buzz, buzz buzz, buzz
Trying his best to swarm alOnei
The hive were shocked to see their chum

The queen exclaimed, "How terrible veryi

York for a few days preparatory to
sailing, and while there successfully in
troduced his new song speciality, THE
Deacon Went Astray," which has met
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-02-09

With quick success. While Foy is not
regarded as a great singer, the su-
perstitious believe that he is a mascot.
Every song he has introduced has rap
idly become a national favorite, and in
this respect 1.-THE Deacon Went

ballad born in Chicago scarcely six
weeks ago.
The dedication of the new comedy,
'The Countess Gucki," which was pro

New York, reads as follows: 'To the

it has been the custom Of the legiti-
mates to look upon the vaudeville peo-
pie with more or less contempt. This
old feeling was lately brought promi-
nently before the public mind by the
refusal Of certain grand opera singers
to appear upon the stage of the Metro
politan opera house with Yvette Gill

people can we'll afford to laugh, more

"Charley's Aunt that funny farce
from the pen of Brandon Thomas, will
pay st. Paul a second visit this week.
This creation, without a doubt, has
proved one Of the greatest sources Of
amusement on the American stage
during the past two season It's wit is
of that character that appeals to all
classes. 1t is neither super-subtle nor
coarse. 1t is obvious, broad and whole
some. The situations are novel and
ludicrous to an incredible degree The
dialogue is peculiarly droIl and laugh
able, and the incidents are most in
geniously contrived. 1t is so ridicu-
lousy false and insincere a reflection
of anything that can possibly take
place in real life that it invariably
convulses the spectators, SO numerous
are the uproarious complications and
SO constant the laughter
1t is a very simple thing, too, which
causes most of it; a man masquerad-
ing, and masquerading in the most de-
Iciously droll and awkward manner,
In female apparel, with scarcely any
attempt whatever at mimicking lady
like airs and graces.' A female i'm
personation, so-called, would never be
half so humorous. The cast includes

Walker Whiteside; and another, Cres-
ton Clarke, will this week compete in
the same part for critical approval
and popular applause. Mr.. Clarke will
have great difficulty in SURPRISING Mr..
Whiteside's achievement which, how
ever far short of greatness, was yet
very much more than respectable; but
it seems impossible he can approach
anywhere near the achievement of Otis
Skinner, which furnished us with what
is by every standard of conception and
expression the best Hamlet since Ed
win Booths. For, granting that Clarke
is equally gifted with Skinner-which
concession can be made only for ar
gument's sake-he is a comparative
novice in stageland, whereas Skinner
has served an arduous apprenticeship
for many years. 1t is true that tenn
perament is the largest factor in sue
cess before the footlights, but it is es-
sential that temperament have powers
Of expression, and those powers must
be trained and exercised for a certain
period before the most highly gifted
actor can hope for unqualified success.
In his time Skinner has played many
parts. and played all well, but his i'm
personatiOn Of every character he has
attempted was distinct Improvement
upon that which preceded it. He was
good as De Grammont, but he was bet
ter as Vlllon, and vastly better still as
Hamlet. How much better he was in
De Grammont than he was in the roles
he undertook when he was at Clarke's
present stage in the actors profession
can be only guessed.
