RICE's "ExcELsIoR JR."

Howe and Berry's big extravaganza company will begin an engagement at the opera house in E. E. Rices famous production, Excelsior Jr." This is the production which served to open Ham, merstein's Olympia theatre in New York, and it enjoyed run at that house of 76 nights. Many of the original members of the cast are in Howe and Berry's com pany. but they have added Sadie Marti- not, Joe Cawthorn and Johnny Page to the cast, effecting thereby vast improve ments in the original company. The eminent musical director and stage man. ager, MT. John H. Braham, staged the present production, as we'll as the origi- nal at the Olympia, and he is enthusias- tic over the present organization, claim ing that 1t is far superior to any cast of company which has heretofore been seen in Excelsior Jr." Joe Cawthorn stands pre-eminently above all other German comedian in this country, and he is great favorite in Birmingham, mot only for rich vein of comedy and magnetic personality, but for his exquis- ite playing on the concertina. Sadie Mar tinot is too well known to require any introduction in this city. or elsewhere

TRILBY.

The Trilby fever is on us again. Just as it has begun to die out, just as we were f1attering ourselves that we were convalescing, just as the man who had never read Trilby was coming to be the hero of the hour, as the man who had first predicted it's success, was. the hero of the past, 10, a relapse has set in, and ~ain we are all Trilby maniacs. And this suit has been brought about by the ar- tistic cunning of Paul M. Potter's drama tization of the novel at the Garden theatre To begin with the play is a skillful piece of work. It selects the most thrilling episodes of the novel, and congresses them within the limits of stage requirements, so as to achieve new force by the compression. The ex- act sequence of events is not studied but the integrity of the story is pre- served with more care than is usual in the characterization of novels. MT. Potter has not been betrayed into the common error of making the play, and happily dn accordance with the supposed require ments of theatrical audiences. He has mot done, for example, what Boucicaults s "Colloon Baum" did for Griffin's "Col- legians." His chief departure from Du Maurier has been in making Svengali the most of all the characters, throwing Trilby herself comparatively in the back ground. Even Trlby's final renuncia- tion of Little Billee is dictated by Sven- gali while she is under his hypnotic ir-
 
 of the higher heroism. with which Du- Maurier had invested it. But as we know that the scenery was submitttd to DuMaurier for his approval we must presume that he acquiesced in this sao- rifce so necessary to the dramatic eff feet of the whole.
 A word of approval for the audiences. Night after night they have shown them- selves thoroughly up to all the demands made upon them. The greeting afforded to each personality has had all the hear tiness with which affection for old friends is manifested When here and there in the course of action the players threw themselves into tableauX suggest i've of DuMaurier's sketches, the audi ence never failed to respond. The man who had not read Trilby seemed to be nowhere Had he been at all in evidence the charm of mutual responsiveness be- tween the actors and the audience would have been lacking. The company has been patiently drilled. Unison of feel ing is apparent, all based upon the cen- tral unity of the novel. Taffy and the Laird, Little Billee and Zou Zou might have stepped right out of DuMaurier's pages. They not only look their parts, but they realize their essential traits and even their tricks of manner, and through all the play the kindly bon llommie of the novel has been felt and reproduced by the dramatist. The pro- duction will be under the direction of William A. Brady and will be seen here at the opera house Monday matinee and night only. There will be a special mati- nee of Trilby for ladies and children at 25c. and soc.

4 7 O'BR/EN'S.

Joseph Jefferson. the grand old man" of Amer rican histrionicS, again appeared before Birmingham audience last night in the romantic play which made him famous. Rip Van Wrinkle" Every avail able seat in O'Brien's was occupied and standing room privileges were eagerly sought by laggards desirous of once mone seeing a man who long since earned the title, 'tAn Actor"
 Too well is MT. Jefferson known for criticism, and it is needless to say aught save that he presented the character as only he can.
 A, strong supporting company, rendered able assistance in presenting the tale of days when Greater New York was not thought of and when the gnomes and gobblns figured so prominently in Dutch mythology.
 Miss Mary Shaw, as Gretchen, the scold, wife of old Rip, was pleasing as an actress and acted well her part.
 Little Virgie and Lola Dryden were tots, as little Meenie and little Hendrick, awere easily the most admired in the cast aside from Mir. Jefferson
 The scenic effects and stage sets were beautiful and merited special mention
