AT THE THEATRE.


One of the most popular of Klaw &
changers many stupendous attractions
will be at o'Brien's opera house Tuesday,
January 49, 1t is the widely heralded
Lady Slavey," which created a furore
in the metropolis during the whole of last
season.
There is no doubt THE Lady Slayey,"
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, Is one of
the best of the farce comedies that have
appeared for a long time. Nowadays, per-
haps it might be ranked among the COM
ic operas, If we are to take THE Ameri-
can Beauty" as a sample of that form Of
entertainment.
But it has this advantage over The
American Beauty" that while the n" sic
is Just as pretty and a good deal nrore
original, the burlesque part of the per-
formance is infinitely more amusing.
When 1.-The Lady Slavey" was put on
in London 1t did net meet with phenom-
email measure of success, although Miss
May Yohe played the title part. But
since 1t has come to this country the
comic element has been worked up, and
dances have been inserted, and the whole
play has an amount of "go" which 1t
never possessed before.
It compares favoIably with the other
musical farces which we have been ac-
customed to, inasmuch as the songs and
dances are made a part of the piece itself,
instead of being thrown in a sort of extra
vaudeville entertainment. Moreover,
there is just as good a chorus as We are
accustomed to in comic opera, the singing
is as good as is necessary, and the dresses

and they went away sorrowful. but It
was soon noised abroad that the shekels
had come, and they returned rejoicing.
The money came by express from Mont
gomery, and was inf silver dollars. It
amounted to $11.5S7, 1t was due the
teachers for the quarter ending Dec. 81,
1886. 1t went to the teachers in the pub
lie schools of the county outside of Bir-
mingham, Bessener and Pratt City,
which are separate school districts. The
money was in bags with the seal of the
First National bank, of Birmingham on
them. The auditor. said in his letter that
this identical money had been sent to him
through the First National bank by the
probate judge of Jefferson county The
probate judge had sent him $4,000 in
silver.

GEORGE BUCKLpR COMING.

Among the stellar lights of both the
classic and modern drama none shine
with greater brillianey than Mr.. George
Buekler and his beautiful and charming
wife, Eleanore Newton, who with their
superb New York company, will shortly
appear at the opera house here.
Endowed by nature with a strong and
handsome face, sturdy, well-knit frame
and a magnificent voice, to which he has
added a lofty ambition and an unflagginG
energy in the pursuit of his art, George
Buekler has climbed step by step up the
ladder of dramatic excellence until today
he stands upon the topmost round. For
two seasons he was the leading support
of such sterling artists as Thomas w.
Keene, Robert Downing and Mary An
derson, so that the school of which he is
a worthy graduate is an excellent one.
Eleanore Newton! What can be said
of her with which the theater going pub
lie of this country are not familiar? Pos
sessed with beautiful face and figure, a
queenly carriage, and glorious, sympa-
thetic voice, clear as crystal and musical
as the bells of a cathedral chime she
endears herself to the hearts of all from
the moment she steps upon the stage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buckler bring with them
this season, direct from the Grand opera
house at Washington, D. c., one of the
strongest supporting companies that ever
left the city of New York. Phil. S.
Greiner, Lew Glea son, Frank X. Wal
lace, EDWIN BAKER, ii. L. N<pTrlSOn, Aga
tina Singleton, Ernie Melville, Alice
Scantlebury, Fern Singleton and others.
A special feature of Buckler's big stock
company this year is his suburb uniform
ed brass band and orchestra. 1t is COM
posed entirely of finished solo musicians,
and every member is an artist. Their
concerts alone are worth the price of ad-
mission. They are the talk of every town
and the delight of all who hear them.
The band is under the leadership of the
famous bandmaster Mr.. j. G. Cornelius,
and the direction of the orchestra is in
the hands of Mr. H. L. Baker, the cele-
brated clarinet soloist.
Every play presented is in the nature
of production. Manager BuclSler has
spared neither pains nor expense to
make each performance perfect in every
detail, and he will undoubtedly be greet
ed by crowded houses. Popular prices
will prevail, and on Thursday evening
every lady accompanied by a gentleman
or another lady, with one paid reserved
seat, will be given a reserved seat free.
On Saturday afternoon there will be
popular matinee when all children hold
ing school tickets will be admitted and
given a reserved seat for 10 cents; adults,
20 cents.
Call at the reserved seat office and get
the ladies' free tickets and the school
tickets.
The company appear here for three
nights at O'Brien's. See advertisement.

THE LADY SLAVEX'

are bright and effective. 1t is not neces-
sary to tell in detail the story of the
"Cinderella-like daughter" who takes the
part of a servant girl in order to keep up
appearances for her ruined father. OF
course, she succeeds in marrying eventu-
ally, not the prince, but the American
millionaire, who was intended to become
the prey of one of her sisters.
The plot does not much matter for 1t
merely serves as a peg upon which to
hang a number of bright songs and
dances. The central figure, instead of be-
ing as it originally was, THE Lady Slav
ey" is now a music hall singer, and for q
time secures the affections of the Million
aire, part which is excellently played
by Miss Marie Cahill. She has several
clever songs to sing, and one notable
dance, in which she literally wipes the
floor with Mr. Dan Daily, who Is masquer-
aiding in the garb of highlander. This
was the hit of the evening, and might
have been repeated a s long as Mr.. Days
breath and kilt could have stood the
strain. Mr.. DAILY is finished comedian
of the lugubrious type, and succeeds ex-
cellently in amusing the house, notably
in his new son, Lucky JIM"
The travesty of the game of golf and
the bicycling scene in the first act are
two out of the many devices to bring the
comic element up to date. The descrip-
ton of golf by Mr.. DAILY deserves to be
quoted:
"You first" says Mr.. DAILY, "buy fifteen
golf clubs and a dozen or so balls and
walk miles into the country, where you
find field with molehill in the mid
die of it. You then place your ball on
the molehill and swipe it, and If you
find your ball the same day you win the
game"
The cast is excellent. Miss Cahill puts
abundance of life into her singing and
acting; Mr. DAILY, as has been already
said, is excellent, and Mr.. Charles Dan
by gives an admirable imitation of
cockney, not to mention cockney's idea
of the typical Yankee. The songs are
good and the writing for the chorus is
decidedly effective.

VIEWS OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES, on THE

TON OF RECOGNITION


SUBJECT AND ITS BEARING ON THE CUES
TON OF RECOGNITION.
Washington jan 1.-THE following questions were
asked of a number OF Southern Congressman and
the subjoned answers were elected by a Tribune
correspondent:
What Is your opinion Of the possibility of negro
representation in Congress in the event OF the an
nexation of Cuba? How will 1t affect any steps that
may lead. directly indirectly, to the acquisition
OF the island, and how do think the South gen.
orally would regard this possibility"
Giving his and what he believed Is the South
ern view. Representative McMillln OF Tennessee
said: First. the questions OF beligerency or indie
pendence and OF annexation different This
country mas always dealt with the question OF recog-
milton without regard TO the matter OF race Sec
ond. have not studied the question Of possible an
nexation with reference to the race question and
do not know what the proportions OF white to black
are In cuba think if the island were annexed that
the character OF the people should be considered In
the matter OF admitting to Statehood. As said |
DO not consider the recognition of Independence or
belliserency as necessarily leading to annexation
ana would prefer and think the South would prefer
TO consider the questions separately Let us decide
first, with r,garI to the matter OF recognition In
the cas-" of the South American Republics and other
Tecoshitlons, We nave freely sympathized with the
people VINO sought their freedom"
Representative catchings. of Mississippi replied
as follows Il am so much opposed TO the annexa-
ton OF cuba rrder any circumstances that | would
prefer to walt until 1t happens before expressing
any opinion on the possibility of negro representa-
ton"
Representative Stokes. OF South Carolina said:
'The question of recognition. in my Judgment is
closely connected with the question Of annexation
for think, as in the Of Texas that annexa-
ton will follow not very far away from the date of
