COMING TO THE THEATRES.
Nationnr-nnpSacId in "Benucaire.

NHtIpnHl-hEpSueiu 'sBPuuCaire.'
II seems some years since Richard
Mansfield has devoted his lofty genius to
the creation Of comedy role. His ener-
gies have almost uninteTruptedly been
directed toward the classics. always with
remarkable results, creditable TO the
drama and to himself This year. how
ever. he has undertaken character part
in comedy. The comedy is "Beaucaire.'
and is said to be a classic of the most ex-
quisite quality. The name role affords him
the happiest opportunities for acting he
has had since Beau Brummel and Prince
Karl The result. as generally acclaimed.
is the most popular success Mansfield has
ever mad.
'Bcaucaire' is a French prince visiting
the great English watering place, Bath.
and is mistaken for barber. He speaks
only imperfect English. Mansfield brings
out all the most amusing points of this
comedy of the barber prince speaking
broken English in his most subtle and ar
tistic way. The production consists of
five exquisite settings, all of them de-
scribed as perfect to the slightest detail
pictures of fashionable Bath under Beau
Nash. The coStumipE is of the eXtraVa-
giant richness Of the Louis XIV period.
Seats go on sale at the National this

Lafaye.te-"The Two Orphans"

"The Sporting irucbsss' is doing the
banner weeks business at the Lafayette.
The play is gorgeousiy mounted. and loses
but little in comparison with the original
production Some doubt was expressed
as to the ability of the stock company
to produce such an immense production
as "The Sporting Duchess" but the re-
suit is quite success, especially from
scenic Viewpoint
Next week Mr. Bellows will revive that
old-time faSorite. The Two Orphans
which will still further exploit the versa
tility of his organization. A melodrama
of the old school. it is entirely different
from anything the Lafayette company

with the incidental music. Few plays
