ment. His success has been literally
enormous, and this year he has opened
the season with series of presenta-
lions of grand operas, some Of them
Wagner's, which are given in English.
The demand for seats for the Ameri-

SO great that on the day of the opening

tending for block was, in evidence on
Forty-second street from early morn

one considers that each of these indi-

but there was nothing whatever about
her performance to impress any one
with conviction of her greatness as a
player. She was frightfully inadequate
in lust those scenes in which it was
thought that she would be best-those
in which depth of love and tenderness
was foremost. A cold with which 1t
was said she was suffering undoubtedly
affected the quality of her work, but,
making due allowance for this trouble,
the conviction that she was not quite
the Ellen Terry of old was unavoidable.
Miss Terry's performance was. of
course, not bad-that would be we'll
nigh impossible with her-but it was no
better than would be given by any
competent actress of far less reputation
than Miss Terry, and not half so good
as could be given by Miss Terry's erst-
while associate, Miss Julia Arthur.
A young man. Harry B. Stanford, ir-
reverent as it may sound, made the real
hit Of the play. To him was intrusted
the role of Illicier the natural son Of
Robespierre and Clarisse, and that he
did not yield to the temptation of over
acting it would of itself go far toward
demonstrating his worth as a player
But when, in addition to steering clear
of the pitfall of ranting, it is further
stated that he did not lapse into the
~semiwhisper ALLEGATION which is the
fad of the moment, and that, in short,
he got out of the part everything that
was in it, the credit of his achievement
may be adequately understood. Here Is
a young man who, if he will remain in
this country, might speedily be earning
more salary in week than he now gets
for months work 1t is to be hoped
that he will stay. for, in truth, the
number of really good juvenile leading
men in this country is ridiculously
small. The few genuinely good ones
have gone a-starring together with
some of those who were only passable,
but the whole lot appear to be doing
sufficiently well to make it improbable
that they Will return to the fold. So
there would appear to be fine opening

good looking young actor as Mr.. Stan

The American theatre, in this city,
until couple of years ago had the
reputation Of having lost as much mon
ey in a given time as any theatre in the
country. Mr.. Henry w. Savage, how
ever, had an idea, and that was no less
than that opera in English had always
failed in New York for no other reason
than that it had never been given under
the proper conditions. The prices
charged had always been too large for
the quality of the performance, and,
besides, in previous experiments the
ventures had not been stuck to long
enough to determine the value or
otherwise of the theory that New York
was really hankering for opera in Eng
lish
Mr.. Savage had plenty of money and
an excellent company-the Castle
Square-and he went into the American
theatre with the announcement that the
prices would be much below those
charged at the regular places of amuse-

1t was the most notable week Of the
season from a theatrical standpoint,
more high-class productions being
crowded into the six days than are or
dinarily offered to lovers of the drama
in twice the period. Kellar gave the
greatest entertainment of his career in
magic Monday night, and was followd
by Belasco's great play Of .''Zaza," with
Miss Mabel Howard in the title role,
displaying at once one of the greatest
character creations of recent years, and
one of the most promising little ac-
tresses on the American stage "A
COntented Woman" was presented by
a remarkably strong cast, and last
night the week was closed by an actor
who deserves to rank among the fore
most living comedians Tim Murphy
presented for the first time his new
play, The Carpet Bagger." 1t is a
very strong comedy, and the costuming
and mounting was splendid. Mr. Muir
ply has a role which suits him admir-
ably. The audience was not what it
should have been in numbers, but what
was lacking in this respect was sup
piled in evidence OF enthusiasm. The
star was given a curtain call at the
close of each act. When the curtain
dropped on the fourth act, the enthusi-
asm which has been cumulative, broke
forth in a remarkable demonstration.
Even after Mr.. Murphy had bowed his
acknowledgements, the applause con-
tinued, and he was compelled to come
before the curtain again and make
speech. This he did in very graceful
manner, telling story which was
peculiarly appropriate.
The production of Hoyt's "a Con-
tented Woman at the Opera House on
Friday evening, was one of the partie-
ularly meritorious performances of the
week, and the company, headed by Miss
Belle Archer, is one of the best seen
here this. season. Miss Archer's por-

excellent piece of work, and won for
