"YHE ACTORS ARE At HAND. 2
~
-'NidSummer NightS hnam'

Mr.. Daniel Frohman, during his
many years OF. management at the
funny little Lyceum theater, succeed
ed in building up for that playhouse
q clientele which was answering in
its fidelity. There were, it is true,
some very mediocre comedies pro-
duced at the Lyceum when that house
was the only one in this city controlled
by Daniel Frohman, but his patrons
In spite of everything stuck to their
favorite place of amusement. Even
after Mr.. Augustin Days death, when
MIR. Frohman, still retaining the Ly-
ceum, moved the stock company which
for years had been attached to the lat
ter theater up to Days old house, the
Lyceum's patrons remained loyal and
supported Annie Russell in Miss
Hobbs" SO earnestly that that charm
ing actress was enabled to put long
New York run to her credit in spite
of the fact that the play with which
she did 1T was in no sense notable
work.
Since then an English farce, "My
Daughter in-law," has been running
at the Lyceum with much success as
to the box Office, even though not a
triumph from the artistic stand
point. The old clientele is therefore
manifestly still loyal.
Well, when Daniel Frohman took
his Lyceum players up to Daly's thea
ter most persons expected that one of
two things would happen. Eeither the
Lyceum patrons would desert to
Days, or they would stick to the
Lyceum solidly. In reality they have
done both things. They have follow
ed Mr.. Frohman to Days and have
also stood nobly by thee ldfavorite,
the Lyceum. The value of having a
regular clientele was never more
forcibly exemplified than in the case
of Daly's theater, for, while that house
is said to have done excellent bust
ness since Mr.. Frohman has been
handling it, it is a fact that this re-
suit has been attained without the aid
of one notably successful play. 'The
Song of the Sword" in which the
Sotherns appeared, and the other
plays in which the stock company
has since been exploited at that house
have all been rather weak and in
nocuous affairs. Indeed at almost
any other theater in New York they
would have been degraded as fail
ures. All of them, however, were ade-
duately presented by competent ac-

had the slightest notion Fof what the
explanation could have be>en.
1t is scarcely worth w1ile to give
the story of "The INTERRUPTED Honey
MOON as there is not 81 ngle novelty
in it. OF the players, thnse entitled to
greatest credit were John iFindlay, who
gave an exceptionally taod perform
ance of a consequential land amorous
old butler, and Miss HildS .Spong, who
made the charming leading woman,
Miss Mary Mannering, seem almost
amateurish by comparison The other
members of the cast we're acceptable
in roles which would hsge swampeo
less competent people.
If the loyalty of Mr.. Thnie; Froh-
mans clientele should continue, THE
Interrupted Honeymoon may enjoy
something of run at Ehly's theater.
If it had been presented at any other
house in this city, it is almost certain
that its demise would follow with un-.
usual suddenness.
All dramatic criticismf IS rather fun
ny, but New York Criticism is excep-
tionally SO. No play prs scented In this
city during the present S eason has ex-
cited SO much COMMENT as "Oliver
Goldsmith" which has bust closed its
engagement at the Fifth avenue thea
ter. This was not due tc4 the fact that
"Oliver Goldsmith" is either a very
good or very bad playa The chances
are that 1t is neither the one thing nor
the other. 1t is not due to the fact,
either, that Mr.. Robson has made the
hit of his life in the title role, for that
is generally conceded not to be the
case" oliver Goldsmith" has given rise

The Christian.

1.-THE Christian" which comes to the
Opera House Saturday, April 18th, as
play differs somewhat from the book
story, but only to extend necessary to
meet dramatic requirements. GLORY
Quayle' appears as presented in the
book. In the story John Storm is a
controversial character, parsonage
whose sombre attributes, as described
by the author, present him in the light
of a religious fanatic, holding in mind
that the people go to the theatre for
amusement and not to be preached to
from behind the footlights. Mr.. Game
relieved the stage John Storm of his
religious characteristic, and presents
him as noble self-sacrificing man,
the love existing between him and
GLORY Quayle" forming the central
motive of the dramatic story. Yet the
change made in the character of Storm
and the general construction of the
play itself, do not disappoint the read
ers of the book who may go to the
theatre only to see the characters
translated to the stage. II is said that
"The Christian" is attracting many
clergymen among its patrons and will
take rank with Uncle Toms Cabin
as a moral show

NEW MARTINSvIILE, w. Va,
April There was quite an exciting
time in our,eity this morning when it
was learned that the Enterprise Tele-
phone Company was planting poles on
Maple avenue. The citizens of the
avenue objected to any more poles be-
ing placed, asftwo lines now operate on
this public street The company has
been kept of by force Tor two days.
Friday evening w. MEG. Gall, attorney
for the citizens. went to Wheeling to
obtain an Injunction from Judge Mel
win, enjoining the company from fur
ther obstructing the street. The COM
pany getting word of this move, took
large force of workmen and by Z
o'clock this morning had their line al
most completed. The injunction was
served and operations ceased about 8
a. m. Word was received last night
That the Injunction had been granted,
which viii raise an interesting question
for the attorneys for the company, as
1T has been held in our court that af-
ter the granting of an Injunction and
before served, that if the party TO be
en1oined has received reliable informa-
ton of the granting of the. same. he is
in contempt of court if he proceeds for
the purpose of avoiding the effects of
the injunction. 1t is now thought that
all companies will be required to move
their lines off the main streets, as the
citizens are complaining. Six different
lines enter the city. 1t looked like
there would be serious riot early this
morning, as one of the residents of the
avenue commenced to chop down a
pole in front of his residence. If the
train had been a half hour late this
morning the line would have been
through, and this would give us con-
neetion through the county by way of
Silver Hill to Littleton and open COM
munications with Moundsville and
