Two by the Star in a Play.
tFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch)
New York, Feb. 1S.-If they continue
to play "Hea rtsease' at the Garden Thea
ter much longer they'll have to get some
new villain. II you've seen the play
you know that in the third act Henry
Miller has d tussle with the villain and
chokes him until he is black in the face
and then throws him down on the stage
as if he were a bag of corn. Miller is
powerful enough to give Sandow turn,
and when ne becomes excited he wears
a villain out every night 1t was the ire
mendous throw he gives the wretch that
made the audience OF ministers the other
day rise u its feet and applaud. The first
villain was Nelson Wheatcroft, who man
aged 10 survive by falling before Miller
got at him Tie understudy who succeeded
him is practGng gymna sites, and some
OF these fine evenings he promises TO as
tonish the audience by throwing Miller
across the stage into one OF the boxes
This may maj the plot, but it will be great
fun for the understud and his sym
pathizers.
Theatrical managers, actors and SOU
brettes, with the attendant TT ain OF
Johnnies, Were greatly interested today
in the auction sale OF 5000 costumes.
They once belonged to the old Casino
Company, OF which Rudolph Aronson was
thehead. and some fair prices were realized
The Johnnies exhibited the liyeliest in
tcrest IN the black skirts and tights in
which famous Nadjy once disported her
self Some of the costumes were magnifi-
cent, aud others ridiculous. If 3 900 people
could be coaxed into those 5000 different
INA ke- ups" the Bradley y Martin ball
wouldn't be in it.
