MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The tragedy OF the son or Montague and
the daughter Of Capulet was unfOided gain
by Miss Mather and her company at the
Columbia last night. The character OF
Juliet was the stepping stone to this
actress career and the compass of Juiiet's
maidcniy wfnsomeness and matronly trag-
cay was supposed To be the best effort
OF her then immature talents Since then
has elapsed years OF other la bors, period
OF retirement ana another season OF act
ing another of the great bards women.
The present return to Juliet finds Miss
MatheT somewhat advanced in her under
standing of the character and in her
capacity for portraying it. Her acting is
occasionally inspired, but usually con-
scious. She does not affect a youthful
juliet, which makes strong the contrast
between her and Mr.. Coleman 5 Romeo,
FOR he seems a too young boy with his
lisping, piping treble and too affected
enunciation. Once he forgot himself in the
speech addressed to TybaIt before he en-
counter. 1t was natural moment a mo-
ment or power. denoting how much finer
an actor Nh Coleman might be if only he
gave natural methods a showing.
Some 81 the minor characters were ad-
mirably acted. Seldom is a Capnlet acted
or read better than did Mr. O'Kane Hills.
Mr Eberle was a benignant nd wise Friar;
Paris was made less the beau and more the
rationai saitor by Mr.. Fred. Hartley, a nj

casionaIy, with free rein to his good
voice and intelligent conception as Ty

FOR business will be asIargely increased as
during any former year. Mr.. Beers said
20 repaster for The Times last night as
to the prospect of the high priced wheel
in the future:
''There is NO doubt that great many
people want $50 or a SIS machine. The
older concerns have been rather conserva-
tive. and To make up the deficiency, d
great many less ReHknown people have
manufactured the cheaper machines, which
have been bought considerably. During <
1898, however, ali the firSt-claSs makers
whose standing is unqueStioned, and whom
everybody knows, will have $50 machines
as well as their best makes. These ma
Chimes put cut by weIlknown firms will
drivethe lesser people to make even cheaper
machines. Their price will drop TO $50
and $40, perhaps, but people won't want
