American Theatre

The production of Aida by the Castle
Square Opera Company at the American
Theatre last Monday night was note
worthy in many respects. 1t commenced
the third week OF the third year of the
enterprise; it was the 5G0th time of opera
in English by the company, commemorate
ed by handsome souvenirs; it was the re-
viyal of an opera in which the entire or
ganization had already won conspicuous
success. and it introduced two singers
new to the patrons of this popular theatre,
Nine. Selma Krohold and Miss Mary
Linck. Both were instantly voted to be
distinct acquisitions. winning great ap-
proyal for their dramatic fervor and vocal
excellence. The other members of the cast
n the ensemble singers rendered Verdfs
magnificent music with a brilliancy that
aroused a packed house into frequent out
bursts of enthusiastic applause.
Another equally important undertaking
will be next weeks presentation of Tam
hauser," which will be suns for the first
time in English in this city. Few if any
other of Wagner's great compositions
possess in SO great degree the qualities
likely to appeal to the average music
lover. The cast will enlist the Castle
Square favorites, an enlarged chorus and
an augmented orchestra. Scenically the
production will equal that furnished for
the current presentation of Aida" Mr..
Thomas G. Moses has designed a series
of exquisite stage pictures, which reflect
picturesque Germany in the thirteenth
century. Monday nights cast has been
arranged as follows:-Landgrave, Mr..
Regneas; T%annhauser, Mr.. Berthald;
Wolfram. Mr.. Luckstone; Biterolf. Mr..
Knight; Walter, Mr.. Davies: Reimer, Mr..
Wailing; Elizabeth, Miss de Treville
Venus, Miss Hardy; Shepherd Boy. Miss
Mattfeld. During the week Mr.. Butler
will alternate as the Landgraye, Mr..
Sheehan as T~annhauser, Mr.. Mertens as
Wolfram, Miss Kronold as Elizabeth and
Miss Norwood as Venus.

Academy of Music.

A second crowded audience was at the
Academy last night to enjoy Andrew
Mack and the biggest success, THE Last
of the Rohans." To say that it laughed,
! applauded and encored Mr.. Mack's n
| over and over again is putting It mildly.
There was more enthusiasm and merri-
nent to the square inch than the
Academy has seen In many moons In his
new play the comedian is at his best.
This means, as will be readily understood
by those who know him. that he has ex-
cellent material at hand and that he spins
1t out to the extreme limit. There Is a
drollery and quaintness to his humor that
no other comedian possesses, brogue
which, to steal one of his " express
ions would charm the birds off the
bushes" To miss seeing him In THE
Last of the Rohans" is to miss one of the
finest treats the Academy has to offer this
season.
At the Academy of Music next Mon
day night, Charles Frohman will present
a dramatic version of Anthony Hopes
famous novel. 'Phroso" with Odette
Tyler La the title role. Miss Tyler viii
have the assistance Of a special COM
pany, and 1t is announce that the entire
scenic production just the same as was
used during the run of this piece at the
Empire Theatre Will be put upon the stage
here. The story of "Phroso'' is one of
the most interesting ever written and the
dramatization adds to rather than retards
the lively interest of the tale as is often
the case.
The plot is one of the most unique ever
conceived by a dramatist. The interest Is
kept at fever pitch throughout and when
Wheatley finally wins he Is universally
conceded to have deserved success In sur
mounting so many difficulties. Robert D..
MacLean is the Lord Wheatley of the
play. The throughout is excep-
tionally strong. The engagement here
will be a rare treat to lovers of good
amusement and 1t can be relied upon that
the production is every way will be on
the same magnificent scale as was seen
in New York. Matinees will be given on
Wednesday and Saturday.

The McEwan Association. a few days
ago. went through the form of endorsing
the Republican ticket. Tomorrow even
dng, a member viii make a motion to
rescind the endorsement. From the morn
ing papers we learn hat Brother John ].
has made a personal appeal to the ex-
Congressman to come out on the stump
ana help elect him. Mr.. McEwan. it is
said. has TINS far mad no answer to the
proposition save In the gentle Meditation
OF his southeast optic. As Mr.. McEwan,
like Hamlet. Is but mad nor-nor-west, it is
inferred that he Is not crazy enough to
do as Mr.. Erwin demands.
MI. McEwan would make a pretty
spectacle of himself speaking for the pres
ent Republican ticket. If he stands for
anything in this community 1t is for the
protest against bossism In the Republican
for anything. It IL as the exponent OF
Aossfsn. His nomination was an assertion
OF the man power. The men who are
associated with lii are the discoveries
Of one man. the choice OF one man. the
representatives Of n man. and. If by
any frantic accident they should be elect
ed. they would be the puppets of that
same one man. Mr.. McEwan would
staitify his entire record If he raised hand
Or voice to promote the election of such
4 ticket. He would lay himself open to
the suspicion-or more than suspicion Of
having been either bossed or bribed into
asserting his principles and betraying his
friends.
Mr.. McEwan, we believe. will not dis
grace himself in this way. He would be
foolish, from every point Of view, If he
did. standing as he does for decency in
politics, he is a power and an honorable
ngure. AS the m~outhpiece Of a boss he
would be 4 fallen idol, and even those
whom he served would not spare to kick
him as they passed by

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Board Of Trade Discusses
Hackensack Shore Front
Scheme.

-
The Board of Trade met last night and
decided that In future it viii confine itself
to matters of local interest instead OF
as hithertofore settling the affairs Of the
universe. There was only a slim attend
ance. President Myron s. Furst was
absent.
In conformity with wise rule laid down
as to business the members fell to dis
GUESSING the improvement Of the Hacken-
sack shore front. This project has several
occasions been under discussion, but moth
ing had been done but talk about what
should be accomplished. Now, however.
the Board of Trade proposes to do some-
thing and to that end, when a large at
enhance can be secured, a plan win be
mapped out.
Ex-President Andrew ]. Corcoran, in
speaking on this topic, said to a News
representative
'Thi Improvement of the Hackensack
River is a very important subject and
one in which all people Of Jersey City
should take an active interest.
ID you know what 1t means? Why the
development of all that western slope of
the Hill. the utilization of hundreds OF
acres of ground now m~arshland, the
bringing to this city Of millions of capi-
tai in new industrials. all of which means
an enormous benefit to Jersey City. 1t
surprises me that nothing has been done
about it. It means millions in a multitude
of ways to Jersey City. In fact the
development OF that river front means
at some time hence the union of Newark,
Elizabeth. Jersey City and Hackensack
into one great city"
Assembiyman j. p. Hall Is also an en-
th~usiastic about the scheme. The board
win take up the discussion at its next
meeting.

SAMPSON CHANCES HIS PLEA.

Frank Sampson, the brutal negro, who
on July %, beat and kicked his mistress,
Henrietta Tyrrell in her apartments in
Railroad avenue, causing injuries from
which she died in a day or two, was
brought into the General Sessions court
yesterday. Lawyer Norman L. Row told
Judge Blair that he had thoroughly in
vestigated the case and after consulta-
ton with his client had advised him to
plead guilty. Mr.. Rowe asked that
Thursday be fixed for hearing an appeal
in the defendants behalf.
Prosecutor Erwin said that he had no
objection and Judge Blair fixed Thursday
for disposing of the case. Sampson is un-
der indictment for manslaughter and
when he was arraigned a couple of weeks
ago he pleaded not guilty. He r~etracted
and pleaded guilty.

uncertain man who ever sat in the upper

He would make a speech on a question
which left no doubt as to his position.
Then someone would max a strong re-

Ketcham would speak again. taking the
position opposite to that which he oc-
cupied in his previous remarks. Some
misguided but enthusiastic-from motives
more or less Observation-Disclosures in Es~
sex are beginning to shout for Mr.. Ketch-
am for another term in the Senate. They
declare that. since he carried the county
twice by large majorities, he could do so
a third time, and that he was the best
man to close up the breaches which the
present bitter contest between the Gaddis
and Lentz factions are making in the
party ranks. If the people of Essex want
Mr.. Ketcham to represent them a third
time in the Senate, that is strictly their
own affair. But we rather think, If he
becomes a candidate. some good Demo-

mind for a little while at a time, and the
gentle star of the Essex G.. o. P. will
have to relapse into the nebulous con-
dition for at least three years more.

PALlSADE AVENUE
Another Improvement Inaugurated
BY This Administration.

The work of asphalting Palisade avenue,
from Prospect street to the West Hoboken
line, has begun and business men and
residents along that portion of the
t~horoughfare are consequently happy. The
old paving stones will only be torn up a
block at a time, so as to interfere with
truck traffic as slightly as possible.
This Improvement will materially en-
nance that section Of the city, where many
of the residential cross streets, running
from Palisade to Central and Summit
avenues, have already been asphalted.
The credit for 50 many splendid improve
ments in that section is due to the agi-
tation of the several improvement and
business mems associations and to the
progressive spirit of the present municipal
administration.
