Citizen PIERRE"
DONE IN new YORK
Charles Coghlan's Latest Play
a Great Success.
Gotham Receives Julia MarlOwe and
Carleton's ''Colinette."
Both Dramas Treat of French His
tory, and in Each the Respec-
tive Stars Do Good Work.

New York, April 15.-"Citizen Pierre"
Charles Coghlan's new play now at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre, deals with the
French revolution following the execution
Of Louis XVI. The piece is story Of the
people. Citizen Pierre is sergeant in the
volunteer soldiery of the repdblic. He is
loyal, open-hearted, brave, and a man who
has great love for his friends. His solicit
tude for the welfare of others leads him
to become the victim Of a royalist plot
which ends in his undoing. Mr., Coghlan,
who is the author of the drama, acts the
leading part and brings to his work all OF
his known intelligence. In the opening
scenes he shows the deftness OF touch gen.
orally looked for in light or juvenile
comedian. Later he becomes the courag
eous and uncomplaining martyr II is a
long time since the New York stage has
seen go clever an impersonation. That
Mr.. Coglilan has made hit goes almost
without saying for he is one OF the most
accomplished stars now before the public
He was called before the curtain again
and again during the first performance.
'citizen Pierre" is uncommonly good and,
IL am not mistaken, will make fortune
for its writer.
At the Knickerbocker, Julia Marlowe is
appearing IN "Colinette," an adaptation
from the French. by Henry Guy Carleton.
The Offering depicts life in France at the
time OF the Restoration. The Marquis de
Bouyray is the son OF an emigrant who
has affiliated himself with the Empire and
become colonel The Bouvrays, uncle
and aunt OF the Marquis, install themselves
at the house OF the nobleman and OF his
wife, Coiinette. The latter is admired by
the King, but she loves her husband and
does not care who knows ii. In the final
act Colinette appears before His Royal
Hlghness TO ask pardon for the Marquis.
VINO has been arrested with compromising
documents in his possession. The King
grants the pardon and all ends happily
The story OF the work is picturesquely
told Miss Marlowe in the title role locks
as pretty as picture and acts with all
her oid-time grace.
The other novelty OF the week is "Ru-
pert OF Hentzau," in which James X. Hack
stt is appearing at the Lyceum Theatre
The piece is continuation of THE Pris-
oner of Zends," but is not so compact nor
so good play. The drama is in seyen
scenes showing a constables room in the
Cestle OF Zenda, a house in Strelsau. and
room In the Palace of Strelsau Mr.
Hackett gives very good performance
OF the leading part and is ably assisted by
Theodore Roberts, Arthur Hoops, Mervyn
Dallas, Jobyna Rowland. and Virginia
Buchanan. Manager Daniel Frohman has
provided adequate scenery and costumes.
Mr.. Hackett will be followed on May 8
by the Empire Theatre Stock Company in
