Injunction Refused.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, December So
In the Superior Court to-day, Judge
Williams refused to grant an iniunc-
ton restraining Henry Miller and the
Charles Frohman Company from pro-
ducing the play entitled "The Only
Way" Colgate Baker, a Milwaukee
newspaper man. instituted the %injunc-
ton proceedings. asking heavy dam
ages and an accounting from Mr.. Froh-
man as to receipts from the play. Baker
claimed the production was an I'M
fringement on the name The Only
Way" which he claimed to have copy-|
righted.
Judge Williams declared there was
lacking the element OF competition in
the plays of Charles Frohman and Mr..
Baker which bear the same title. They
were as unlike as could be and the
property rights of the plaintiffs were
not invaded.

beauty OF Father Whalen's character is
displayed. There are said to be many
situations of strong human interest in
the drama, and a pleasing mingling
of humor and pathos. Zacconi, how
ever, seems to like the idea, for it is
he who plays the scientific hero, a doc

ant, the language is strong and so are
some of the situations. But these do
not save the play, ven with Zacconi.

With melodrama we find the outlook
for 1900 pretty much the same as 1t
has been for each year during the pas.
decade. Like farce comedy, melodrama
may be accurately adjusted to the popu-
lar taste, and. being susceptible OF these
notifications, it will hardly ever wear
out its welcome, especially in view OF
the fact that the moral pointed Is gsE-
orally a worthy one. The big English
scenic melodramas are no exception TO
the general rule, but inasmuch as it
has apparently become necessary. in
order to attain success, to present these
entertainments on a scale OF lavish
magnifcenece, the point will soon be
reached at which 1t win be impossible
for the receipts to be sufficiently large
to show a profit.
Comic opera appears to have lost It's
grip to a certain extent. and now II Is
necessary to have a star of some repu-
tation IL one would succeed with this
form of entertainment.
To sum IL all up. the theatrical out

sions herein made on the different types

be exceedingly doubtful whether a gen-
uine Hoyt play written in that pro-
life authors best style would meet with
more than a moderate degree of success
if presented tomorrow. But farce O,
some sort or other will always be pop,
ular, although by reason of its very
elasticity it cannot really be considered
seriously as a distinctive class of en-
tertainment.
The burlesque shows, s~o-called, have
been having a hard time of 1t, and the
knowledge of this condition will great
ly please all persons who have the well
fare of the American stage at heart.
Most Of these shows are run by men
whose sole object in life appears to be
to see how close to the line Of positive,
soggy filth they can go without coming
into conflict with the police authorities.
As a fact, if the guardians of the public
morals properly did their duty most OF
these managers would now be hibernat-
ing behind prison bars. They do more
harm to the youth Of the country than
all other forms of so-capled entertain
ment put together. But they are on the
down grade, and it is not a wild as
sumption that within a very few years
the burlesque show, as It IS at present
understood, will have become a thing
of the past
One of the rivals for stage popularity
will always be what is known as the
full dress drama, or, more properly
speaking, the comedy of manners"
There are more examples of these than
of any other sort of plays in the better
theatres. They have the advantage of
being susceptible of being made strict
ly up-to-date, and any noticeable
change in the public taste may be
easily met and catered to according to
the judgment Of the exploiter. The
trouble just now appears 10 be that the
playwrights and their employers labor
under the delusion that the theatre
going public is simply clamoring for
p%ruriency when it is doing nothing OF
the sort. Suggestion and innuendo
which would not be tolerated for a mo-
ment in the parlor of a gentlemen are
as thick as miasma in a swamp, but
the persons, especially in the larger
cities, who appear to imagine that they
are not "au fait" unless they attend
these entertainments take their wives
and daughtersi and. what is worse,
smile at the sMuttiness and pretend to
think it awfuliy clever, don't you
know.
A few authorities have latterly come
to the conclusion that it is possible TO
write an interesting society play with
out the adjunct of sexual problems, and
the result has served to confirm the
accuracy OF their estimate of the popu-
lar taste. But SO long as the managers
who buy playa remain unconverted

THEATRICAL ADJUSTMENTS.

New York weather is playing ereh
havoc with the Threats of Maurice
Grau's artists that the Metropolitan
season promises to be somewhat dis
appointing. Thus far the most not
able sufferers have been Calve, Ter
nina, DIPPED and Van Dyck. How bad
the situation really is may be gained
by Mr.. Grau's statement yesterday that
if the ~unfavorable weather continues,
and it is found necessary hereafter to
change the opera or the cast on ac-
count Of the illness of the principal
artists, the money of patrons will be
refunded on demand or the tickets ex-
changed. This does not apply to the
subscription seat and box holders, with
whom there is ne understanding as
to particular operas or casts. Grau
has engaged Gadski.
Madame Sarah Bernhard has been
interviewed by a Matin reporter on
her return to Paris after a five or six
months tour through countries never
perhaps before visited by a French
k~ragedian. This prolonged absence
was necessitated by the renovation of
the Theater in the Place du Chatelet
bearing her name. It will be tenn
porarily opened with a revival of
Hamlet but the real opening will
be with NJ. Edmund Rostand's new
piece, "L'Aiglon." The hero is the Due
de Reichstadt, and Nine. Bernhard
will take that part The piece, ac-
cording to those who have heard por-
lions of it. is worthy OF the young dra-
matist who has already achieved the
greatest dramatic success of the age.

THE THEATRICAL
OUTLOOK FOR 1900.
ARTHUR cRIspIN's VIEW OF THE SITUATION.

The loungers along the Rialto of this
city are just now engaged in the pleas
ant, If not particularly profitable, occu-
patton of determining how the new
year will pan out in a theatrical way.
1t has been pretty well settled by these
seers that the boom which set in some
months ago has come to stay and that
the season of 1900, spring and autumn.
will be notable in the annals of the
stage. For nee 1t would seem that the
Rialtoites have made a fortunate guess,
for. while 1t is m~anifestly impossible to
predict with any degree of confidence

liver the goods they pretend to carry,
and to their credit be it said that they
indefinitely. They must be able to de-
usually do this to a greater extent than
their more p~retentious rivals. II the
people have the coin to expend upon
theatrical entertainments, these men
generally make money, and If they have
not the funds the shows they handle
usually come in for reorganization"
which. it may be said in passing. rarely
occurs.
The fact. therefore, that these small
managers are in high feather i've their
takings during the present season and
the outlook for the remainder of this
and the beginning Of the next theatre
cal year would seem to indicate that
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1899-12-31

there is a temporary boom. or else that
the people patronize the road attrac-
tons more literally than heretofore.
AT any rate, the prospects for good bus
mess are exceedingly bright.
The form of entertainment which is
likely to be most popular during the
next twelvemonth has given rise to no
end of discussion. The admirers OF
Shakespeare declare with emphasis that
there Is to be a revival Of tragedy and
the classical drama which will carry
everything before it. There would be
enough in this statement were 1t not for
the fact that Shakespeare, in it's broad
sense, is possible only when there is a.
hand an actor whose Interpretation of
the lines Of the immortal bard will
rise above the commonplace. That
we now have no such player even the
most optimistic will admit. What is
even worse, there does not appear to be
among the younger players any one
who is of sufficient ability to warrant
the hope that he or she will fill the
niche which has so long been without
an occupant. 1t is true we have Julia
Marlowe, whose Juliet is in many re-
spects noteworthy, but, while Miss Mar
lowe undeniably possesses ability OF
a high order, it would be almost alb
Surd to assert that she is transcendent
in a wide range Of Shakespearean roles.
Among the men there is absolutely
no one able to wear the mantle of Ed
win Booth with even passable grace. A
few years ago Walker Whitesides en-
couraged the feeling that an excellent
tragedian had arisen, but his work la
ter, to my mind, showed great retro
gression. To return to the ladies, it Is
possible that Mrs. Fiske might excel in
Shakespeare, but there is nothing to
indicate that she has the slightest idea
of making the experiment, which, in
deed, it would be most foolish from the
practical standpoint for her to do.
No; unpleasant as it may be to make
the admission, it is nevertheless a fact
that there is no possibility OF a great
revival of Shakespeare in the near ru-
ture.
The drama of romance appears to be
in vogue just now, though it must BE-
admitted that it is not in such high IA
vor as it was a few months ago. The
cause for this is not far TO seek. The
fact that a few original plays of real
merit and some dramatizations of pop
ular novels had been very successful
was sufficient to let loose upon a long
suffering public q veritable flood of So
called romantic" plays. Most Of
these were romantic in the sense that
nothing like them has eve been heard
of in the world of play writing. Nat
urally they failed, as they deserved TO
fail, but the romantic drama was never
theless given a black eye from which It

win not soon recover, despite the vir-
fifty of this form of entertainment,
which Is as wholesome as it is impossi-
BILE and as enjoyable as it Is exciting.
The romantic drama will not be the
leader in 1900 either.
Coming to farce and skipping for the
moment the society drama, we find that
this form OF amusement is a elastic as
an actors contract. When one form OF
farce fails to please, another is imme-
diately substituted. Time was, and not
so long ago either, when Hoyt farces
were the only ones which could be
counted on with any degree Of certainty
to yield satisfactory box Office returns,
Naturally there were a host of imita-
tors, until now the bogus has so re-
placed the genuine article that it would
