NOTES.
The New York Dramatic Mirror OF this
week says:
Eduard Strauss and his Vienna orches-
ira arrived from Europe last week and
began their American tour with a con-
cert at the Waldorf Astoria on Saturday
and another at the Metropolitan Opera
House on sunday, being cordially re-
celYed by large audiences. Interesting
programmes were offered and the orches-
ira, skiIfully conducted by Herr Strauss,
proved an admirable organization. Their
playing is notable in tempo, spirit and
power, but lacking in color. Every
number was given in precisely the same
tone, and this grew more and more
monotonous Several Strauss Waltzs wers
performed in inimitable style,
Theatrical people refuse to take serious
~ the stactl1ng announcement made by
Charles ErOhman last weak that he in
tends to present William Gillette in Ham
let next season. Mir. Frohman, however,
AYERS that he is decidedly in earnest. Mr.. |
Gillette has not been heard from, as it
IS claimed the announcement was made
without consulting him. Mr.. Gillette has
always appeared IN plays written by VIII
liam Gillette for William Gillette He
joys the reputation of smashing all
stage traditions and employing always a
big black cigar as a companion star for
his tours. Whether he ever plays Hamlet
or not Is not half as none ntous ques-
tion as the one, 'Will he still smoke his
cigar IL be does play Hamlet?' So Mark
Twain is TO write play IN collaboration
with Sydney ROhenfeld. Mr.. Clemens
has not been especially successful in the
one or two ventures he has made h1ther-
to Ia the field of dramatic authorship,
but IN partnership with such an expert
and experienced playwright as Mr.. R0sen-
field it is probable that he viii have bet
ter luck.
