row night of Brother john" comedy
drama written for William H. Crane by
Miss Martha Morton, the lady Who won
the New York Herald's prlze for her play

brother John" is said to have been
suggested by some lines by Cotton, stating
that all true joys must spring from home,
and that the people who roam are but
fools. The rhyme is rather iingling, but
the sentiment is all right, and around it
the authoress has built a comedy drama
that was a success in New York
The character who gives the title to the
play, Brother John, is an unsophisticated
Yankee, who manufactures mats at Bethel,
Conn. He is wealthy, and his family,
wearying of rural existence, persuade him
to let them take cottage at Long Branch
and attempt to make splurge IN fashion
able life. Brother John consents and the
ladies are sent to the seaside under the
care of his young brother, Bobby The
contretemps that beial! them there form
the basis of the play. The following is the
cast:

TivoIi Opera-House.

Dellinger's romantic comic opera. "Lor-
raine, will be produced at the Tivoh to-
morrow night 1t was first performed in
Vienna some years ago and made an i'm
mediate success. The music is tuneful
and rather martial in character, though
there are many numbers in which the
martial element gives place to more ro-
mantle and lyric sentiment.
The book is said to contain plenty of
sparkling lines and good situations which
hinge around the following plot: Lor-
raine, a young French soldier of noble
ancestry has been reared by farmer IN
Ignorance of his true position. He visits
the court of Louis XIV and there meets
with a number of comic and romantic adj
ventures, which include his impersonating
the King and falling in love with Mad
cline, young lady who, with her uncle,
is visiting the court by royal command.

donna who has made quite hit in the
East, will make her first appearance in

Grand Opera-House.

Brother Against Brother" Frank Har-
vey's latest melodrams, is to be produced
at the Grand Opera-h house tonight. 1t
has never before been seen on this coast.
The story is thrilling enough to delight
even the most inveterate lovers OF meio-
drama. 1t deals with terrible revenge
which is practiced on one Anthony Rad
ford. By means of false certificates ne Is
persuaded to believe that his wife Is dead,
and under this false impression be mar
ries again. For some time he lives In
ignorance of the true state OF Things. tnen
vengeance falls and he discovers MS sec
ond wife to be no wife at all, her son is
illegitimate, and the nameless boy who
had become the manager OF his WORKS is
his real son and heir.
There are a number of other unravel-
ings to the plot; the eldest son suffers In
silence, and refu ses to rob his half-orotner
of his name; the half-brother commits
numerous misdeeds, finally setting his
fathers foundry on fire. In the end,
Jasper Crane, who has planned the re-
venge, is Mortified at the results OF his
work. and saves old Radford from ruin.
Brother Against Brother" will be acted
by the stock company, and will, az usual
be carefully staged.

BALDWIN, Theater.

"In Mizzoura, in which Nat C. Good
win makes his appearance at the Baldwin
on Monday night, is picture of humble
Southern life drawn by Augustus Thomas,
the author of Alabama" In New York
and Chicago it enjoyed long runs.
As Jim Radburn, the Pike-C County Sher-
if, Goodwin has to bear the burden of
most OF the humorous as well as of the
pathetic scenes. The scenery is said to be
a fac-simile of the original which exists in
Pike County, Mo-, and the management
pretends to have made every effort to
lift the local coloring from its surround
ings and place it on the stage. One bit
OF realism, the firing of disabled wheel,
Is SAID to have proved very effective.
The story OF the play is as follows:
Goodwin, as Jim Radburn, the Western
Sheriff, loves backwoods girl, and paws
for her education. When she comes home
she falls in love with hashy young man

Lemaitre's Vanity.

Frederick Lemaitre, the well-known
actor, was afflicted with an abnormal ten
dency to pride and self-esteem, even for a
man of his profession. His despotic bear
ing toward the employees at the .heaters
often led to an exchange of angry words.
At the fiftieth performance of a plav be
would expect the musicians to exhibit the
same eagerness to hear him as on the first
night. He expressly forbade them to read
their papers In the orchestra during the
intervals of playing, as had been their
custom from time immemoriai. Fred
erick pretended that the practice Inter
fered with his play"
Now, the leading clarionet at one of the
houses obstinately refused to submit to a
prohibition which he considered no actor
had the right to enforce, and went on
reading as usual. Frederick protested,
swore raved and asked the name of the
recalcitrant clarionet-player. Just at that
moment the musician passed through the
greenroom.
"Is that you," cried Frederick, in angry
tones, "who has had the audacity to read
in the orchestra during my great love
scene?"
