Sousa's manager writes to the editor
of this column that he very much re-
grets that his 1897 tour will cut out
Salt Lake. He goes south along the
Texas route to the Pacific coast and
returns east by way of the northern
route. The announcement will be re-
ceived with equal regret by the musical
public.
Never before has the metropolis been
so pregnant with operate trouble, says
an eastern paper. Here's the list of
killed or wounded for the past week:
Lillian Nordica, forced to wander from
the Metropolitan fold to the. outer dark
ness of one-night operate stands; Jean
de ReSZke, with his feathers ruff1ed as
they have never been since he came to
America by Nordica's publicly ex-
pressed opinion of his conduct: Emma
Games, ruthleSsly separated from her
little dog; Melba, in a tantrum because
Nordica hasn't said nice things about
her. Nine. Harriclee Barclee and Signor
de Marcri, throwing up the Mapleson-
ian sponge for fine trio of grievances,
and dropping from the sublime to the
ridiculous; Camille d 'Arville and Marie
Halton, quitting Santa Maria" clam
oring at their manager for back salary,
and Lillian Russell, just as she had Sc
cured the first big success which she
has known in several seasons, suddenly
falling i'll and obliged to take a three
weeks rest. No wonder operate angels
are preparing for nasty weather by
taking reefs in their golden wings.

Edwin Forrest died "a years ago on
Dec. u and the anniversary moves the
New York Mail and Express to the
following interesting reflections:
Forrest has been dead less than a
quarter of a century-four-and-
years today-yet l doubt if his style of
acting, which would not be now ac-
cepted in any cultured community, will
ever again be in vogue. 1t lasted well.
for ii was vigorous and effective, and
its echoes are not yet still; but in this
comparatively brief space the stage
ant The public have so far changed
that L ~yedy has taken on a new face,
a face of suffering thought rather than
of aggressive action, and so will keep
in the tenor of a truer and more human
of great things on the stage,
to the end of time, l think.
l doubt if any of US would care for
Forests acting, and our commenda-
ton would go to the finer and more
poetic players of his time who were
overshadowed by his tremendous pow
err: and, at the same time. ! doubt not
any of us would enjoy Cibber's acting
as much today as the people of his
own time liked it.
Look at Mr.. Tree, who, although
there is little heart and soul in his
method, is as good an actor as one
would wish to see. When he tries noise
and ranting, as he did in THE Seats of
the Mighty" nobody cares about it.
When he plays delicately and with the
rich and disciplined resources of his
refined art, he delights us all.
The best equipped actor of big meth
cd. in physique and voice. seems to us
absurd, and l believe Forrest would
bore us as much as Cibber would en-
terrain us.
The stage is quite changed in this re-
gard, and Metamora is no longer here
because no one would ever think of
sending for him.
The theatre will be dark during the
coming week, except on Christmas af-
ternoon and evening and Saturday af-
ternoon, when the employees of the
adults ball. The theatre orchestra,
under Mr.. Weihe, will furnish the mu-
sic. A big feature for youngsters will
be the Christmas pantomime entitled, |
'Oh, What a night
The Lyceum has advanced it's prices |
to so cents, 50 cents and % cents, the |
same as the Grand. and it has been /
doing profitable business with side /
Tracked" The house held nearly $3.50 |
on the opening night. For Christmas |
and next week they have the National |
stock company from the east. which /
will appear in a round of the standard |
iramas.
