THINGS THEATRICAL.

Richard Mansfield begins his engagement
at the Columbia on next Monday evening.
presenting for the first time in Washing
ton his much praised portraiture of the
knight of the nose. "Cyrano de Bergerac.
This event has been looked for with cres-
cent interest and expectation as the margin
of time separating it from theatregoers has
narrowed down. Dramatically and from
the viewpoint of fine art, Mr. Mansfield s
local date is always the most impressive
of the year, and socially this one should
serve as a reminder of grand opera nights,
for now the distinguished actor returns
in a nebula of praise which has even trans
cended all that has before been said of his
genius.
In "Cyrano" he has created a new being,
the variegated denotements of which
are said to be more wonderful
than the duality of Jekyil ana
Hyde, the suavity of cruel GIoster. the
charm of Karl. the delicacy of Brummel,
the inexplicableneSs of Bluntschli, and the
pathos of Shylock or the refreshing i'm
pertinence of Dick Dudgeon. The crea-
ton. already a classic certainty, has the
kernel and quintessence of multiplied char
acter. Cyrano is soldier. poet lover he
is fascinating. ugly. generous; his sensi-
tiyeness is inexquisite, his sacrifice heroic.
his fidelity pathetic; his end is triumph
of poetry. if not of poetic justice.
In this person Mr.. Mansfield stalks
superb through five acts of as gorgeous
environments as manager actor or actor
manager ever gave a play. In the single
item of the cast there are nearly seventy
individuals involved. The star adds 20
these 100 thoroughly drilled supernumer-
aries. Each of those appearing wears from
three to five costumes. many of eXtrava-
giant elegance, with lavish accompaniment
of dress, swords, plumed hats, jewels, and
staffs.
1t is well to remember that the curtain
rises each evening on Mr. Mansheld's per-
Torrance of "Cyrano de Bergerac" at 7:45,
and the last curtain falls shortly after
II o'clock. This is the convenient hour
which prevailed throughout his long run
in New York City at the Garden Theatre,
and it has prevailed through the season
wherever the great artist has been seen.
The work is long and is begun at an early
hour in order that those who live remote
from the theatre may catch their trains
and last cars TO suburbs and adjoining
cities. The roads running excursions will
conform schedules to these hours so that
there need he no unnecessary haste or in
convenience. How necessary it is to be in
the house in time may be understood when
it is known that the initial act represents
the elaborate and gorgeous interior of the
Hotel de Bourgogne, and at the very first
the seventy characters are introduced and
/ begin the story of the play. Mr.. Mansfield
enters within eight minutes of the prim-
AIRY curtain and rectes the famous speech
on his nose and fights the duel of the bal
lade.
