1.-THE Real Widow Brown" proved an
excellent drawing card all week at SUIT
toms. 1t is not only a very funny play
In itself, but it is rendered by a company
of rare merit. The members not only act
their parts with unusual ability, but each
and every n of them e a clever spec
ialty act. There is plenty of inspiring
singing and a lot of lively dancing.
Charles Barrington's marvellous and un-
equaled limitations with the voice of the
violin, the trombone and the banjo have
delighted everyone who has heard them.
They will be repeated at the Sunday mat
inee and at the two night performances
Sunday and Monday, for "The Real
Widow Brown has proven such a sue
cess that MI. Sutton has succeeded in
having the company extend the engage
ment for three more performances after
tonight. Miss Gertrude Swiggett will be
seer in her ~unequaled skit of Sis Hopkins,
ably aided by that very funny comedian,
Eddie Clark. Joe King will tell funny
German dialect stories, besides playing
the German baron delightfully."-. Hiram
Goodman, a deacon with a penchant for
widows, as played by F. E. Became, is as
clever a piece of character acting as one
sees. "The Real Widow Brown has

vance sale for Sunday night is already

ence IL . more highly trained one taan

Die patience, listening to speeches of ten
minutes duration without showing any
WEAKNESS, apparently interested and en-
Joylng it,. L. it due to the beauty of the
Italian language or the actors art? This
| could not discover, but I understood, I
think that the reason the Latin races
nave hitherto produced the greatest dra-
matte artists is due to the fact that an
intelligent artistic loving audience keeps
the actor constantly up to his best en-
deavor, and is the goad which urges him
ever on to his highest and best express
sions.
Genius will fail and talent lag where
ever Indifference reigns. The actor is de-
pendent upon the appreciation of an au-
dience, and, where the audience is lax,
there we shall find talent in keeping with
the public m%ediocrity, for dominant ar
tistic intelligence in an audience alone
makes great artists"

THE DUELLO.

Word comes from London that Maxi
mede Movers is determined that the ten
or Saleza shall fight with him the duel
threatened in this country last winter.
Both of the parties to this interesting
quarrel are now in London; the writer
declaring that he shall have the Salts
faction of fighting M. Saleza, while the
singer protests that he will under no cir
cumstances consider a challenge coming
from the man who signs 1T with a name
not his own. M. de Viewers is a pole, who
sets forth his descent from a member of
the French royal family who emigrated
to Poland in the eleventh century. The
singer declares that whatever M. de
Movers descent may be it is not possible
for him to answer a letter signed with an
assumed name; that the code would new
err allow such an irregular practice. The
latest move in the case is the challenge
from the writer to the singers manager.
Since his illness here last winter M. Sa-
leza has recovered his health, and his
appearance in London has been one of
the notable events of the season there.
He is to return to America next winter
whether he fights a duel Or not, and as
his antagonist declares that the tenor
shall never escape him, M. de Nevers
may follow him to this country.

CLEMENTS AND STOeKWBLL.

An important theatrical event is the as
sociation of two prominent stars, namely,
L. r. Stockwell and Clay Clement. With
an exceptionally strong company, among
whom are such well known people as
Charles Garfield, Mrs. Clay Clement, H.
G. L%onsdale, Charles King, Miss Nevada
Hebron, Miss Alice Lonnon and others,
these two popular actors will appear for
a summer season at the Grand opera
house, beginning their engagement next
Sunday evening in q superb production
OF THE Bells" The bill will be changed
twice a week and special prices will pre-
vail-25, so and Is cents. Complete pro-
auctions of high class plays will be wit

lent results attained by the company in
Seattle, from which city they come di-
rect, will undoubtedly be repeated here.

WAY.

The fact that Marcus Mayer has sued
his star, Olga Nethersole, is well known.
says an Eastern paper. Miss Nethersole
seems to be having enough troubles of
Louie in a state on mind during the
summer that few will envy them. Miss
Nethersole is a most charming woman
personally; professionally she is n of
the most shreWd and cunning In the
business. But her recent plays for cheap
notoriety have lost to her many of her
former admirers. Mr.. Mayer was one
of the last, and he would not v de-
serted her ~purposely. Now, however,
that ".all is over" between them he in
tends to have his little say, and he has
it. In an interview he gives his views
keeping, to which he objects, for the tri-
fling reason that by it's operation he
finds himself sorely smitten by what the
economist might call "the law of dimin-
fishing returns" Miss Nethersole was,
Marcus says, to be paid 5000 a week and
sum for personal expenses before the
dividable profits could be ascertained.
She drew all this. he says, and then pro-
ceeded to charge everything else she
could think of against his account, seri-
ously reducing the apparent profits. 'If,"
he says, "she exercised a bit of charity
she wanted me to bear the burden. If
she invited friends to the theater and
paid for the seats it was at my expense.
When she sent a funeral wreath to the
former home of Miss Davenport 1t was
charged0lp against me. She subjected
herself to massage treatment and she
charged it against me. When she paid
to her secretary some petty cash or any
thing for hair dye 1t was charged
against me. She contributed S. to a
Christmas fund, but it was charged
against me. When she preferred riding
in a carriage to walking it was charged
against me-" Truly. Marcus would
seem, in the picturesque phrasing of the
street, to have been up against it" very
hard, indeed. But, then, Marcus has
been, to the certain knowledge of many,
engaged in dealing with these feminine
artists from over the seas for twenty
wears or more. Is ne still SO unsophisti-
Gated as not to have in advance an IRON
bound contract, and in It provide for
handling all cash himself? If he is he
ought to consider himself lucky not to
come out In debt, but to be allowed even
a Whit of profit. I can see the finish of
the Nethersole outfit next season under
the personal direction" of Brother

A SAD SLUMP"

Edna May and the actors and actresses
supporting her imam American Beau
ty,' in London, are in trouble. The
piece is a failure there, and is be-
ing continued at a loss, in the hope that
the end of the Boer war may bring good
business. And dina Mays angel, young
C~avendish. who gave her most of the
paste diamonds she wore II few months
ago in America, seems to ave cut Ed
ma. Relating the trouble in the COM
pany, a London dispatch says:
These be sad days for tine members Of
the american Beauty" company. To
start the trouble came the news hat
there was every chance the production
might be withdrawn, n some other
Casino production put on its place. MI.
Lederer is SILL undecided what to do,
and may possibly revive the Belle of
New York. with the original cast.
To increase the sad feeling which this
uncertainty had engendered, the entire
company went to the races on Derby
day and plunged OF Mr.. Keene's horse,
with most disastrous results. They lost
every cent they had and returned to
London in a pitiable condition of inn
pecuniosity.
This was not all, or even the worst
Notice has just been given at the Shaft
esbury that the salaries OF all the prin-
ciEals are to be cut. This is no new
thing for American managers to do here.
but the Beauty" people are surprised,
as we'll as grieved.
But there fs even worse than this to
relate. Harry Cavendish has returned
from Africa alive and well, and, al
though he has twice visited the Shaftes-
bury Ntheater, he has not yet called upon
Miss Edna May. 1t was understood he
! put his money into the present venture
solely for her sake-to prove to the
world that she could do more than one
part-and naturally she considers his
apparent carelessness regarding her per-
sonal welfare strange. With all these
calamities coming thick and fast, can
it be wondered the american Beauties
are woebegone?
