The Ventura got away a few minutes
after midnight amid the enthusiasm of
large number of people who waited until
the vessel slipped from the dock. The
last Of the sugar was aboard at 1880.
There were the usual lavish gifts of leis
while a number of serenaders were pres

of their brief stay in port to refresh
themselves uptown caused the crowd to
laugh when they essayed to mount the
gangplank. The vessel will make good
time between Honolulu and San Fran

bow and deep at the stern. Passengers
express themselves as hopeful of arrtv-

would be glad to make this same train
in order that the English mails could be
forwarded without delay.

TO SUCCEED ELLEN TERRY.
"Cissy" LOTUS to Head the London
Lyceum Stock Company

Ellen Terry, the most distinguished
actress on the English stage, for more
than twenty years leading woman for
the London Lyceum stock company,
controlled by Sir Henry Irving, will re-
tire to private life at the end of the
present season.
Miss Terry has chosen as her success
sor Cecilia LOTUS, now leading woman
for E. H. Sothern in IF I Were King"
York, under the management of Daniel
Frohman.
Two years ago Miss Lotus, known on
two continents as the greatest of MINI
icS left the music hall stage at the sac
rifice of high salary to enter legiti-
mate drama Despite pronounced fail
ureS and not single unqualified sue
cess this young woman has now jumped
to the foremost place in dramatic art
in this country and England.
Up to the time Miss Terry arrived in
this country to fulfill her engagement
with Sir Henry Irving for his American
tour she had no one in mind to succeed
her. 1t was not generally known that
she was to retire
Miss Terry has been friendly with
Miss Lotus for many years, but it was
not until she saw her in the leading
role in Richard Lovelace'' at a special
matinee given at the Garden theater a
few weeks ago that she admitted she
had found the successor for whom she
was seeking.
Miss Terry was SO impressed with
Miss LOTUS work that she sent for her,
renee Irving, who is said to be interest
ed in Miss Lotus welfare, acted as
commissioner, and the contracts were
drawn up.

Brooklyn that stock managers headed
that way like miners for the Klondike.
Every one who has taken hold of the
idea since has made money and most
of the five stock theaterS are crowded
all the time But this rush does not
take away Payton's patrons. They are
as faithful to him as though there was
not another theater in Brooklyn
And now Payton has taken hold of
the problem of Sunday night concerts,
which shall pay without being utterly
unsuited to the day. For a long tima
lovers of good orchestral music have
talked about the possibility of Sunday
concerts in Brooklyn somewhat like the
programme Seidl used to play on Sun
day at Brighton Beach, But nobody
ever had the heart to try it and the
scheme would have failed any way
Occasionally SouSa had given Sunday
night concerts in theaters here that
have drawn and other bands and Or
chestras have sometimes tried the ex-
pertinent, with melancholy results. On
the other hand, what is known as 4
sacred concert frequently pays here
and there are getting to be about as
many theaters open In New YORK on
Sunday night as in Chicago. But in
stead of plays the New York theaters
have sacred concerts which are real
ly vaudeville shows with the make up
and costumes omitted.
A performer who can sing a week
dian who can tell a story in street
clothes is in demand for these enter
tainmentS- The song or the story need
not be sacred; in fact, the less so the
more popular they are
1t remained for Payton to evolve a
Sunday night concert which should be a
combination of the two things. He has
given two of them to jammed houses.
and they are becoming an established
institution. The next step will be for
other theaters to adopt the Payton idea
Last Sunday, for example, Payton's
programme had six orchestral selections
from the old Seidl programmes, music
which the best orchestras play every
where. His orchestra of twentyfour
men played them well. and his audi
ence listened in open-eared delight to
Grieg, Nicolai, Rubenstein and Delfbes.
They encored the peer Gynt'' suite and
the Merry Wives of Windsor over
ture, and in both cases the orchestra
leader added light and popular compo-
sitions to a programme already long.
There were two or three sentimental
songs of the sort which used to be pop
uIar in parlors when the Victorian
The Topeka state journal., 1901-11-30

school of English ballad had a vogue in
this country. But afterward, "Oh, my!'
Probably Sunday night was the first
time that the Peer. Gynt'' suite was
ever introduced to the s'Duty-uty- -uty''
song from the vaudeville. And the same
people applauded both things To tell
the truth, they applauded the vaude-
vile songs and stories the lOudest-
Those were the things they were ac-
customed to. But they listened to the
classic music with interest, and if the
experiment keeps up, the strains of the
lighter orchestral composers, who are
really artists to use a much abused
word, men of musical inspiration will
be made familiar to people whose boast
it has always been that they did not
care for the classic That won't hurt
the classics any and it will improve the
taste of the people to whom this good
music comes as a revelation. In time
such programmes may train up audi
ences which will make Sunday night
orchestral concerts possible here with
out any admixrure of vaudeville. The
idea of Corse Payton as reformer of
public taste seems funny, but then facts
are often FUNNY.

HAcKErT IN A NEW PLAY.
Tries ga Chance Ambassador" on a
Baltimore Audience.

Notwithstanding a stormy night, the
theatrical loving people of Baltimore
gave James K. Hackett a cordial recep-
ton in his new play, "A Chance Ann
bassador," produced for the first time
at Ford's opera house Saturday night.
E. Rose is the author.
The hero. Karl Rensaler, played by
Mr.. Hackett. is young American
from Colorado, who is game to the
core. He is thrown by circumstances
into an imbroglio in Bresa,a small prin-
cipality of Europe. He falls in love
with the princess without knowing
that she is a princess, and is in conse-
quence, drawn into the political mael-
strom of an imaginary European prin
cipality called Bresa. The usual course
of love- intrigue, plots, counter plots,
fights and hair-breadth escapes, ensues,
from which the intrepid American
emerges triumphant and carries off the
princess in the face of every obstacle,
and after a thrilling sword fight with
the villain.
There were many recalls and demands
for speeches from both author and star.
Jane Oaker played the part of the
Princess Alicia Others in the cast were

Kent, Brigham Joince, George Lesoir

FROM COON SONGS TO OPERA.
The Rise of Bessie Abbot in the
Musical World.

A private cable received in New
York announces the coming debut at
the Grand Opera, Paris, as Juliette in
Gounod's Romeo ct Juliette' of Miss
Bessie Abbot, a young American, who
a few years ago was singing coon songs
with her sister al the continuous
houses. Miss Abbot's debut also marks
the first instance in which an American
has been admitted right from her vocal
studies here to the Paris Grand Opera.
1t was NJ. Jean de Rezslze. who by
chance discovered that the young wO
man who was doing a 'tcoon" act with
her sister, had a really fine soprano
voice, with great dramatic possibilities
and the making of a grand opera prinna
donna.
Four years ago Miss Abbot and her
sister were on their way to London to
fill an engagement at the Empire Music
hall. M. de ResZke, who by lucky
chance, happened to be on the steamer,
heard the sisters sing a coon" duet at
a concert, and at once singled out the
soprano as unusually gifted vocal
ist.
He asked her to call on him in Lon
don, and when she did so and he had
heard her sing again he promptly sent
the sisters back to this country and ar
ranged for Miss Bessie to study vocal
art with Mrs. Frida Ashforth of New
York. Mrs. Ashforth had entire charge
of her vocal development for four years,
except that one summer she took her
abroad, and had her study repertory
with M. Koenig, chef de chant of the
Paris Opera
She has been engaged by M. Gailhard
to make her debut as Juliette, probably
after M. Jean de Reszkes Siegfried per-
formanceS.
Miss Abbot's real name is Pickens,
and she belongs to a branch of the well
know southern family of that name. At
one time her father was wealthy, but
he lost his money, and the sisters were
obliged to go on the stage to support
themselves. They always have been
highly respected and have many friends,
among them the family of Rev. Dr.
Greer of ST. Bartholomew Protestant
Episcopal church.
