The De Wolf Hopper Opera Com
pany sung THE Charlatan" at the
Opera House last evening, before a
large audience, which included many
of the music-lovers of the city, and
vicinity. The company is fine one,
and the various roles were well taken
and well sung.
Bakhara, in Southern Russia, is the
scene of THE Charlatan," and Mr..
Hopper takes the role of "Demidoff,"
the titular character, and the special
task that is demanded of him is to
transform his own daughter into a
Princess so that a court matrimonial
ukase may be conveniently obeyed
Mr.. Klein probably may be trusted to
have plunged Mr.. Hopper into the
maximum amount of trouble by this
means, and to have provided those
complications" without which comic
opera would be only vanity and top
notes. Nella Bergen is the daughter
who has to submit to the Charlatan S
hocus pocus. Alice Judson, whose
youth and beauty are enough to make
susceptible and hopeless young men
weep when they contemplate them,
appeared in boys clothes, thus adding
to her lachrymose potentialities. She
does this in order that she may follow
Mr.. Hoppers medicine wagon without
rebuke Alfred Klein, a tragedian,
DISCUSSES himself as lady, and does
some very interesting turns as Mr.
Hopper's assistant in magic. Edmund
Stanley Is the Prince Boris; Gogol,

At Wallack's Theatre, New York
last week. the players of Camille"
were of unusual appearance, because
all costumes were copied after the
fashions of the plays period. This
was nearly half century ago, and the
changes in attire were almost as no.
tIceable with the men as with the
women, although it brought enormous
hoopskirts for the latter. These were
not for Miss Nethersole, however
Even with hoops and other oddities
that the stars raiment reflected very
family, the fashions were kinder to
the women than to the men. For the
women the greatest width was next
the ground; for.the men it was about
their middles. Trousers that were al
most tight at their ankles bulged 10
great width at the hips, and were
wide enough even at the knees TO
show that bagging is a modern terror.
Their coats were tight and high of
waist, and long tails hung stiff and
full about their wearers. Choice as to
colors was permitted, and the same
was true in waistcoats, which did not
match any other part CT the suits, and
which were pronounced as 10 colors
and patterns. Ruffled shirt front, ruff
fles at the wrists and collar points
that nearly hid mans chin as he was
seen in profile were other character
istics of the mems get-ups. Alto
gether, their suits were true to the
styles shown in old daguerreo-typeS.

sion Of almost prophetic gifts. There
was at that time in the employ of Hav-
erly a young fellow of little height and
exceeding plumpness. He was, think,
one of the numerous advance agents.
He was a shrewd young man, with an
unqualified admiration for his master
He was loyal in other respects, too, and
speedily acquired a reputation as a
hustler.
That young man was Charles Froh-
man!
He was shrewd enough to observe
and to take to heart the causes leading
to the downfall CT Haverly, and the
knowledge gained then has been of in
calculable benefit to him since. Getting
his start as theatrical manager with
Shenandoah" at a time when many
persons thought that that piece would
serve to demonstrate that a graveyard
is not the deadest thing in this world,
he branched out in the most sensible
manner, and to-day he is the largest
| theatrical eXploiter the world has ever
| seen. Beside him HaYerly in his palm
| lest days was little more than a side
show. In this city he manages the
Empire, Garden, Madison Square, Gar
| rick and practically the Knickerbocker
theatres, and he has just taken a lease
of the Lyric, which is the theatre por-
| ton of Oscar Hammerstein's folly,
Olympia. In London he has one the
atre and controls the time for an
other.
Besides all this he is the manager Of
| several Of the most important road at
fractions in this country. So, after all,
the theory with reference to Haverly
was not correct. He simply did not
work things right, while Charles Froh-
man does; that's all.

the first time in thirty years they have
been away from each her.
In the first act u Ianger of sim
ulating temper jealousy is well
shown. GertrudA roaily believing in
the sincerity q @hat has passed be-
tween her papHS and desiring to aid
her mother, |ecides that the woman
whom she ina gines her mother SuS-
.,ects is none other than Donna Ange-
lima Gonzales, a tenant of Mr.. Wealth
erby. IN reality the old lady suspects
no enc, and what she has told her
daughter has merely been for the pur-
pose of lending verisimilitude to her
pretended quarrel with her husband.
Gertrude, however, goes to see Donna
Adelina and gives her very thorough
dressing down. Then she returns
home, followed by a short interval by
the Donna, who is naturally very much
offended. Another row is precipitated,
and in the midst CT it Tom and the
dean, and Julia enter again.
Matters are later Strengthened out in
thoroughly satisfactory if not very
original manner, and the play ends
with everybody happy.
j. e. DCdsOn has never given poor
Improvisation since he came to this
country some years ago as a member
of the Kendall company, but no one
ever suspected that he possessed COM
edy ability of a high order until the
production Of this Gillette adaptation.
He was excellent as the Darby OF the
play, while the Joan role was ably in
terpreted by Kate Meek. Ida Conquest
was also an agreeable EIrprise. Ed
win Arden was unconventional and
exceedingly convincing as the victim
of wifely jealousy and was even more
at home than when the leading man of
Julia Arthur's company. Thomas
Weatherby' was perhaps trifie over
done by Arnold Daily. The real hit
of the piece was, however, scored by
an English actress, Miss Leonora
Braham, as Donna Adelina. Her work
showed marvellous equipoise, and
there was just enough exaggeration in
the first actin which, by the way,
she was best-to make the character
thoroughly sympathetic and to keep it
in the farcical picture then in prepar-
alton. The role itself falls off decided
ly in merit and possibilities after the
first act, but Mss Braham never re-
Taxed her firm grasp of it. Miss Bra
ham is certain to become prime
New York fayorite.
''Phroso" may be a great play, as is
asserted by the press agent of the EN-
