ENTERTAINMENTS.
ThOs. w. Keene.

The HERALD was in press by the
time the curtain rolled down upon
the last of Richard III Thursday
evening of last week, and conse-
quently we could make no comment
upon Thos. w. Keene, his company
and their performance in that issue.
Mr.. Keene is a drawing card any
where these days. He has been on
the stage long enough to have Outliv-
ed his superiOrs in the tragic line,
and he is now about the first among
those who are left Of the older line
of tTagedians.
There was large and cultivated
audience from Columbia and sur
rounding towns to hear him last week,
and from lack of enthusiasm it is
questionable whether the audience
was pleased or displeased, although
their GOODNESS may be accounted for
in part by their utter adherence for
the character of Richard, and their
inability for the time being of dis
associating the artist from the de-
mon. There is no doubt but what
Keene exhibits the full measure of
Richards brutal meanness, and in
general no fault can be found with
his Interpretation. 1t may be a
question, however, whether it would
not produce better effect, if not be a
more correct version of the great
dramatist, to be a softer sutton for
the hand of Lady Anne. He takes
her
"in her hearts EXTREMIST hate :;
With curses in her mouth, tears in
her eyes,
The bleeding witness of her hatred
by"
and yet he makes no effort to soften
his manner, but is the same cold
blOoded, cruel, sarcastic Richard g,
Kissing and snarling, without any
effort to dissemble his true nature.
Whether or not it would be a more
! correct Interpretation at least, we
think, it would produce a much
better effect if he would soften his
manner and dissemble his nature in
this scene, and assume more of the
arts of the lover. Keene has shown
fine dramatic taste in arranging the
play for the stage. The changes
which he has introduced makes the
action of the play more rapid and
intense, and keeps the interest and
attention of the audience always on
the important characters of the play
and especially upon the fate of
| Richard.
One serious fault with Keene is
his enunciation. He mouths and
chops MS words up so that but a
very small part of his audience
could catch his lines.
He was supported bv good COM
pany. Miss Mary Timbermann is Il
beautiful and handsome woman, and
as Queen Elizabeth, does her part
well, although the expression of her
eyes never quite reflects the varying
emotions which it is her part to show.
Mr.. Chas. B. HanfOrd as Rich
mond was well received by the au-
dience, not only as a relief to the
cruelties and butcheries Of Richard
but also for his own qualities as an
actor.
Altogether, it is fairly good COM
pany, and Mr.. Keene has put the
play on to the best advantage, but
we sincerely hope that the next time
he visits Columbia he will give us
something else besides Richard III.

was expressed last night at Pixies by
the large audience assembled to see
the New York success. There was
the heartiest kind of laughter.
Everybody seemed to leave the
house thoroughly pleased with the
Doctors mode of prescribing his
new cure, laughter. He certainly
gives good, old-fashiOned doses of it..
1t deserves the big success it has
met with, for it is as funny farcical
comedy as we have ever had here.
While extremely funny, there are
no horse play methods introduced to
create laughter. The situations and
complications are numerous, and
create laughter from start to finish.
There is big weeks business in
store for this merry comedy, which
will certainly make any one seeing
it forget that they ever had the
blues. AS presented at Pixies, it left
little to be desired" If

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congressman Pc

active and honorable service in the house

How He Found the Congressman.

man on the train who also was ON his
way to Washington, and the two struck
up smoking room acquaintance. The
Chicago man was armed with a letter
to Congressman Belknap of Illinois
from Biff Hall, an important letter
which he was anxious to present. As
soon as he arrived in Washington he
went to the capitol. Congressman Belk-
nap was absent He went again. The
congressman was busy. He went sever
al times, but failed to see the congress-
man, though several times he met and
bowed to his acquaintance of the smok
ing room. Finally the two shook hands
"Who are you looking for?" asked the
stranger.
"Why, want to see Representative
Belknap," said the Chicago man. 1--WE
got letter from Biff Hall. e"
"From Biff Hallp exclaimed the
stranger. why didn't you say so? I'm

There Were Ducks.

Zone morning not long ago." says
the Philadelphia Record, when the
servants of the Cleveland household
came down stairs for their days work
their astonished gaze rested upon ducks
by the score. There were ducks before
the porch and ducks upon the window
stills. Whole focks of ducks nodded from
the branches of the trees surrounding
the house, and still others squatted
upon the lawn before the front of the
dwelling. Little streamers of ribbons
and flags fluttered gayly in the morning
breeze. The opening Of windows and
doors had no disturbing effect upon the
flock of birds, and a moments investi-
cation showed that they were all decoy
ducks, with which some industrious
young men had decorated the ex-presi-
dents premises during the night. The
men about the place had half days
work in collecting the decoys from
about the house and from off the trees.

quoted. The market was not inactive,
but the buying was easy and there was
no great demand for stock.

The consignments came in the usual
small amounts. What was on hand was
bought up readily enough at the same
prices as quoted last week. The sales
were small and hardly worth the quota

Western cattle-All received were con-

were offered on this market.
