der The favorites all got ovations,
and Miss Cook especially. and Miss
Warren hardly less, deserve every good
thing said Of them. Harvest is only
a ffteen-cent drama, but it is rare
one Of its kind. At the Lyceum there
has been a sort Of depression evident,
despite the artistic work done by
Clarke in the curtain raiser, and
Hayes strong achievements in The
Bells" Stories of unpaid salaries,
threatening creditors and dishonored
checks have been rife, and things of
that sort are not conducive to the
highest artistic results. Mr.. Clarkes
detection is a serious matter for the
young managers, but they claim their
new people will arrive Wednesday,, and
that they will be in stronger shape than
ever next week. We trust it may be
so.

One almost regrets to think of Re
Oecca Warren playing the role of a
bad woman, as she win do this week
in La Belle Russo" of which the above
is the cast Still we suppose that it
is necessary in order that this young
lady may I'LL the measure of her crea-
ton. and run the whole gamut Of parts,
from the virtuous to the wicked, and
the high comedy to the ultra tragic,
just to show US that her talents are
bounded by no sort Of limitations. In
gIersoll and Edeson have twin roles of
equal Importance, and the whole cast
is good. la Belle Russo has been
done here often. first by Effie EllSler, in
the days Of the old Walker opera house,
and later by Jeffreys Lewis, but it
never had a better cast, on the whole,
than it viii have this week at the
Grand
A good many rumors of all sorts have
hoated out from the front doors of the
Lyceum during the past week; the main
one is that Miss Tittell is to retire and
that two new people will be added to
the company. They are Fl. Coulter
Brinker and Maude Edna Hall, who
have for the last year been holding the
positions Of leading man and woman
respectively at the Grand opera house
in San Francisco Maltese and
Pyper announce that these actors

oath in the drama Of western life en-
titled Partners" which we suppose is
another name for MY Partner
Brinker was last here with the Jeff
reys-Lewis company as leading man.
This week the Lycaum puts on a COM
edy called "a Tragedy" which the
management announces is an adapta-
ton from the same source as Days
Might Of" Mr.. Hayes will essay the
broken down tragedian, and John Will

filling Clarke's shoes. That gentleman
