"The Countess Valeska."

Julia Marlowe's production of her
new play, The Countess Valeska,"
which will be seen for the first time
here at the Lyceum theater this even
ing, Is an exceptionally beautiful and
elaborate one. The first and fourth
acts occur in her dining room. Thus
only two settings are required for the
whole play, ind these are correspond
ingly lavish. The corridor scene is a
ruddy and rich apartment of old woods
and frescOes and rusted armor. At
the rear there is an elevated platform,
across which board stairs lead to dou-
BILE DOORS and at one moment in the
first act the tremendous figure of little
Napoleon walks up these stairs in the
person of g. player who has not a word
to say, but must only look like Napol-
con and keep his hands behind his
back. One of the thrills of the play
is the sudden and unexpected appear
ance Of a majestic general merely hur-
rylng to his sleeping apartment. The
other scene, the dining room, is con-
ceived more lightly, but is still mas
sive and spacious room, an appearance
of enormous solidity being given to it
by the oddly set doors to the outer
six or eight feet thick, as the cut sur
face shows. Here a splendid banquet
is given by the countess to the generals
of Napoleon's army. The accessories
OF flowers, candles with their pink
shades in the empire style. make the
scene an exceedingly dainty one, the
brilliant uniforms of the officers add
ing a rich and effective coloring. one
of teh scenes in "The Countess Va
leska" is quite spectacular. 1t is the
moment when, after having confessed
to herself and to the spy she is har-
boring that she loves him, she gives
him over to the allies Of Poland by
shouting treason" through the court
yard window. In rush the beautiful
uniforms and before a roomful of off,
Gers and soldiers she denounces the
man and the curtain falls.

in THE PLAY HOUSES.
The Circus Girl.

A musical comedy, 1.-THE Circus Girl"
which had a long and successful run
at Daly's theatre in New York, was
presented at the Lyceum last night be-
fore an audience that crowded the the
atre. The company is the same which
presented 1.-THE Geisha" here earlier in
the season, augmented by q dozen or
more performers.
The music of the comedy is bright
and pretty and the story connected
enough to make 1t interesting. Minnie
Ashley, who was the Mollie Seymour of
THE Geisha,' was seen last night as
Dora Wemyss, the part that fell to the
lot of Virginia Earle in the original
Daily company. Her song, "a Little
Bit of String" in the last act was one
Of the decided hits of the evening and
won a half-dozen encores.
Charles Dandy as Biggs, a bar
tender, who was ambitious to wrestle
THE Terrible Turk" caused many a
laugh. James T. Powers had the role
in the original company and Mr.. Dandy
has followed closely his manner and
methods.
w. II. Frederick was excellent as
ORWELL, the circus proprietor, and Bert
c. Thayer and Arthur Stanford were
very acceptable in the parts assigned
them. Other members of the company
who attracted attention were Maud
Bliss, Olixia Bassion, Leona Omrose,
Jeanne Fowler. Taylor Williams and
Thomas Ricketts,.

Darlington g. Co.'S Letter.

London opened up nearly a point,
owing to a reduction of half per cent.
in the Bank of England's discount rate.
The New York market opened fraction
ally higher and early dealings showed
marked strength and activity. The
features of the opening were Southern
Railway preferred, Union Pacific, one
point; Texas Pacific, a; Union Pacific
CON-, Is; Union Pacific preferred, Z
from last nights closing. After the
first half hour the market became dull
and featureless, the volume of trading
to noon being the smallest for many
weeks. The gain at the opening was
lost during the day, but while the de-
cline was pretty general, 1t was con-
fined to a narrow range. The ability
of the bull element to hold up prices
during these pauses demonstrates the
great underlying strength of this mar
ket. 1t looks as If the force of today's
recession had been spent and 1t might
be a good time to make careful pur-
chases, particularly in the low-priced
stocks with merit. The Atchison,
Union Pacific, Louisville e Nashville
and Pacific Mail are excellent stocks
to be long of. In the Industrials, we
think we'll of A. s. w. COM, and we
have no reason to change our opinion
on Federal Steel preferred. The time
when this stock will cross par is not
far distant. Total sales: Stocks, 799,-
795; bonds, 4,79S000.

Zero COMPANY at Gaiety.

Zero" held the boards at the Gaiety
theatre yesterday afternoon and will
remain for the balance of the week.
The thread of the story of Zero is
supposed to rest upon the adventures
of an ambitious individual who sudden
ly inherits immense wealth and is de-
sirous of entering the social world and
also is anxious to visit the North pole.
Some very good specialties are in
troduced. Among those worthy of mem
ton were by Fish and Quigg, the
famous long and short men; and the
Meeker- Baker trio, comedy rag-time
acrobats. The scenery and spectacular
effects were very fine, and catchy
music by Misses st. John and Lytton
was heartily applauded. The audiences
were large at each performance and
displayed much enthusiasm at times.
Matinees will be given this afternoon
and tomorrow afternoon, with the usual
evening performances.

A rare treat for lovers of the roman
tic will be provided at the Academy of
Music the first half Of next week, when

acter until informed by a member 70

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb. 2.-Prices made frac-
tional net declines on the stock ex-
change today with dealings in about
100000 shares. Influenced in better
London quotations and the reduction in
the Bank of England's rate of dis
count, stocks opened steady and strong,
with advances of about half a point in
the active list. There was a DISPOSE
tion both here and abroad toward in
creased interests in low priced shares.
Advices indicating that the ratification
OF the peace treaty was likely, had
some influence on speculative senti-
ment and prices continued to rise most
or the forenoon. There was a sympa-
thetic advance among the high priced
stocks, but II was Of only moderate
proportions. In the afternoon the buy
ing demand slackened and the appar-
ent inclinatlons of commission house
customers to take profits induced
traders to offer stocks down, which in
turn brought about some liquidation Of
weak holders. The grangers and n
number of other stocks receded q
point and over from the best. The SELL
ing for a time was on moderate deal
ings, but before the movement was
over the volume increased consider
ably and prices got well below yes
terday's closing. In the late dealings,
there were slight rallies, led by Sugar,
and the market closed firm. Total
sales 799,7O0.
The bond market showed more sta
bility than stocks, the undertone being
one Of undoubted strength. In the af-
ternoon, however, some weakness was
current Total sales, $4,SOO,O 900. Gov
ernment bonds were unchanged in
price bid.
