Hopper's "Puppet show

The introduction of a puppet show in the
Russian fair scene of Sousa's new comic
opera, THE Charlatan," takes one back TO
the early days of the drama when this
species of entertainment was in great favor
Then the puppet show was an institution.
The puppet Snowman Travelled from town
TO town Just as theatrical companies do to-
day. He was especially prominent at coun-
try fairs and on race courses. In all the old
prints of mixed public gatherings the pup
pet show always holds a conspicuous posi-
ton. II was during these entertainments
that the old-time 'cut purse always piled
his trade.
The ibrettist Of 1.-The Charlatan," in
show how attracted ta crowds away from serious
entertainments, is historically accurate: No
less authority than the great Colley Clbber
on the fickleness of public taste during the
early part of the last century, he says:
Taste and fashion with us have always
had wings. and fly from one public spec
tacle 10 another. so wantonly that have
been informed by those who remember II
that famous puppet show In Salisbury
Change so far distressed the two celebrated
companies then appearing in London that
they were reduced TO petition the King for
relief against It."
That the puppet show held favor at even
an earlier time is proven by the prologue to
The Emperor Of the Moon" 1857, in which
this line occurs: There is nothing lasting
Ii would appear, too, that the managers OF
these performances keenly enjoyed the
trouble they gave the best actors of the
time. Betterton's biographer tells how that
great actor, who was a contemporary OF
Addison. Steele and Cibber, went one day
to witness a performance of a puppet show,
and how furious he was when the manager
of the show discovered him, and from his
stool cried out:
Make way. there. for the great Mr. Bet
terton. We charge no admission TO a fell
lOw-player."
"A fellow-player. indeed"' roared the
mighty tragedian, as he turned on his heel
and walked away.

DE WOLF HOPPER IN soUsA's NEW
OPERA. "THE CHARLATAN."
Grand stock Company to- Put on "Ihe
Iron Mastcr'i-Farce Comedy at
Park-BGriesque ut Empire.

De Wolf Hopper-s annual visit with ney'
opera viii come of this week. Tuesday and
Wednesday nights at Englishs. when he APP
pesrs in Sousa and Klein latest and what
is supposed 10 be their best production, The
charIatan." The opera Is In three acts. Civ
ing SOusa an opportunity to introduce two
OF his stirring military two-steps In adj
dition to the songs and ensemble pieces
While Charles Klein. who wrote the book
for ..EI Captain furnished the comedy part
OF The Chariatan,' Sousa Is credited with
furnishing all the lyrics as we'll as the music
for the new production.
The scene is laid in Russia, in the early
part OF the present century, and the char
acter provided for Mr.. Hopper is that of a
wandering astrologer OF fakir. named Demi-
dofr. who pretends 70 supernatural powers.
and whose most valuable possession is a
beautiful daughter. The opera opens dur
ms the progress of a fair in a market town,
where there is a silly young nobleman who.
b. imperial decree, must wed a woman OF
his own rank or forfeit his estate His ras-
cally uncle. the deputy governor. I'm order
10 secure the property. contTives TO marry
him to the fakir's daughter. in which
scheme he is ably assisted by the ambitious
Demidoff. After the nuptials the deputy
governor IS about TO claim the forfeited
estates. WHEN the grand duke arrives. bring
ing with him the real princess whose name
has been borrowed for the bride. on ex-
pOsure Of the deception, DemidOn is impris-
oned. loaded with chains and tortured until.
In self-defense. he reveals to the grand duke
the wickedness of the bridegroom's uncle.
and-as is proper in all comic opera-every-
thing ends happily.
The character OF Demidoff is a sort OF
combination OF Svengali and John yelling
ton Wells. and IS capitally suited TO the per-
sonality of Mr.. Hopper, who believes he has
achieved in it a success even greater than
he attained in either Wang or Ell Capt.
tan" The audiences have been giving him
a dozen calls before the curtain. ard he is
almost every night compelled to make a
speech. which, rs all who have heard him
deliver an entracte address are aware, is
pretty certain TO be as humorous as any
scene in the opera.
His company has been considerably en-
larged for the production, but all the old ia
vorites are still with him. Alfred Klein has
a capital part; the handsome daughter is
unprecedented by Miss Nella Bergen. whose
admirable voice is heard to great advantage
in several charming numbers little Alice
Judson is exceedingly captivating as a saucy
boz; Mark Price has deserted the legitimate
stage TO play a strong character part, and
other prominent roles are sustained by Ed
mund Stanley, the tenor. Katherine Car
Isle, George W. Barnum, Adine Bowler,
Arthur Cunningham, Harry L. Stone and
Charles Arthur. The chorus is larger than
last season. The scenery and costumes are
pronounced handsome and costly. There
will be a matinee Wednesday.
