"Old Glory" melodrama which James
]. Corbett and William A. Brady have
produced with good results in the East, is
the new bill for Morosco's. 1t is intensely
patriotic in plot and action, resem bling 10
a great extent the White Squadron"
The scenic opportunities are large in
every act. In one scene an insult is offered
the American flag, and this means an
exciting scene, for the good Morosco actors
would shed the last drop of blood of the
bad Morosco actors in defending their
country's flag. Another palpitating scene
shows the prison on the Chilean coast
where the hero is incarceraled; another
shows the lighthouse and the harbor;
another is the deck exposure of Chilean
privateer which runs afoul OF our Baltl-
more, and is promptly blown to the fishes.
The whole company is in the cast.

in touch with softer generation of play
goers H. can play the old PLAYS some of
The time. but not enough OF the time to
make them pay. The Shakespearean
tragedies will never be really revived in
America until the American actor is born
who can make of them vital entertain
ment for every body. Practically Mr..
James must seek new occupation.
And first he tries comedy, a comedy of
manners that has been very badly Eng
lished. He plays the part OF Bolingbroke
in my Lord ami Some Ladies'" 1t is a
common fact that personally Louis ames
is one OF the best beloved men of his pro-
fession. He mas no enemies to Joy at the
spectacle of the massive tragedian pranc-
ing about Oh misfit comedy legs, but
there are friends who have the sense of
bumor, and Mr.. James finally ceases to
be a comedian of manners. Then he tries
the romantic" type OF drama which
recently has been popularized by the
tailor-made gentlemen who previously
played drawing-room and boudoir pieces
who now play milk-and-seitzer heroics
with a pretty pink flush and a stock-ex-
change tone of voice, and, without any
attempt at real realism, build up little
coored school of their own in
which types are given certain
standard OF pictorial plausibility
that is about as permanent as new
fashion in hats, also as arbitrary so long
as that fashion lasts. Armed with an
other bad play Mr.. James enters this field.
He iooses on the part OF Rene de Froisac
his mammoth gestures, his long-distance
stride, his tiercest facialisms, his most
Wagnerian voice-au the terrifying ele
ments of the tragedlan. You know the
result. 1t is all very comical, but very
sad, too. There is the question OF, What

Orpheum.

FIve new acts are on the bill for this
week, and of these, two have been brought
from Europe by Gustav Walter and will
make their first appearance here, on any
stage in America. These two acts are
Czita. the gypsy violinist, from Vienna,
and the SIX Plcchiani sisters, from Mos
COW. 1t is expected that Czita will attract
the attention OF the music lovers. Her
selections are IN ostly in the way of weird
Hungarian pieces. She crealed a Juror
in Europe, says the truthful press agent,
and she ought TO be good enough even for
an Orpheum audience.
Much is expected of the PiCchiani Sis
tiers, who are said TO perform the best

ter never re-engages bad performer.
Oischansky and Lonny return for one
week, and of the old bill the Vesuviano
Operate Quartet will appear in new num-
bers, and Servais lie Roy in new mystic
ries shat are promised even more sensa-
tional than the others. Stanley and Jack
son, character sketch artists; o. X. Sato,
comic luggler, and others complete what
the Orpheum management says is the
strongest bill in weeks.

Bush Street.

Commencing Monday night. the Bush
street Theater will be wide open for a sea-
son of one week. The attraction is Harry
Martel's The South Before the War"
The play introduces number of scenes
suggestive of the South in slavery times.
Jubilee songs and dances, buck and wing
dancing, visions of an oId-time camp
meeting, intro iucing all the characters
usually seen there, cake-walk for gold
and silver prizes, and a pickaninny band
OF seventeen, are a few of the novelties
introduced.
The lovable ard bright side of negro life
in the plantation cabins is shown, and the
sum total of the entertainment, saws the
press agent, is n scene of animated rural
simplicity in Dixie, as pictured by the
pens of writers famous i'll history and
romance.
The agent further says that the COM
pany presenting this absorbing play is a
very large one, NUN boring some fifty
people, many OF these warranted to be the
real colored article, and all travel in their
own Sl2, 600 palace car which can be
seen at Fourth and Townsend streets
depot during the week. The car is on ex-
hibit'on free OF charge; children half price.

Edwin Stevens as Rip, the village lout.
He has made a careful study of the
role and a great deal is expected
or him by those who remember his
earlier work in the same part. John
J. Rafael will appear as The scheming
lawyer, Thomas c. Learv as the good
natured 'avern-keeper, Phil Branson as
the Burgomaster. Master Jack Robertson
as Little Hans of the first act, and little
Claire Eek as the petite Meenie, Title

Edith Hall rs the flirting Katrina. These
characters appear IN the first two acts. In
the spirit scene John J. Rafael will be the
Hendr rick Hudson aid Robert Dun bar the
First Lieutenant, Arthur Boyce the Sec
ond Lieutenant and Fred Kavanagh the
Goblin Dwarf. In the last act Mr.. Dunbar
will be the Haus Won Beckman. New
scenery, costumes and accessories, to-
gether with an enlarged chorus anu or

Baldwin.

Tonight celebrates The last performance
of "In Gay New York" at the Baldwin
Theater.
The Italian Grand Opera Company is
announced for supplementary season of
two weeks, beginning tomorrow night, at
the Baldwin. The management has pre-
pared 10 present during this engagement
ali OF the more prominent of the organi-
zation's successes and will, it is promised,
stage them on a very liberal scale.
Puccinfs la Boheme" will be the bill
for the opening performance, and it will
be repeated on tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday nights and at the matine" on Sat-
urday. This opera has been cordially
ceived by local music lovers, and from all
appearances the Italian CO npany cannot
announce too many presentations OF il.
No little OF the operas success here IS
due to the excellence of its rendition By
the Del Conte Company with Agostini
Cioni, Montanari FumagaIi and others
of the selected cast. La Boheme" has
done much toward bringing into esteem
the new Italian school of which it and
"Manon Lescaut," as well as "PagliaccI'
and "Cavalleria Rusticana," are worthy
re representatives.
"Otelo'' so has been selected as one of
the productions for the Baldwin Theater
season. 1t will be sung on Thursday and
Saturday nights.
During the second and last week OF the
engage ment "Manon" will be repeated,
Aida" will be given special PROD uction
and Mascagnis AMIGO Fritz" will be
given for the first time here.

Had Espy Williams, the author of "a
Cavalier of France. intended caricature
of Louis James, he could not have gone
about the business better than by writing
this play. The character of Rene de
Froisac, which, together with the rest of
the characters and the most of the plot, Is
borrowed without thanks from Harrison
Ainsworth's "Crichton," conceives Mr.
James in the best spirit of caricature;
that is TO say, 1t is most comical in its
very aspect of seriousness, for it puts Mr..
James in all the pride and swagger of a
rehabilitated hero of archaic romance
the sort of hero that, purely fictitious in
its own day, is now as incredible to the
modern Intelligence as any of the
candidly stuffed tirures of melodrama.
