A RemnrknbIe Trio.

The presentation in EngIish's Opera
House of Robert Browning widely dis
cussed drama in blank verse, entitled I'm
9 Balcony" May "a. will bring to that the
alter a really remarkable acting trium-
virate. The personnel of the combination
Is made up of Otis Skinner. Mrs Sarah
CoweIl lie Moyne and Miss Eleanor Rob
son. Mr.. Skinner has always been recog-
nized a rarely capable actor. and when
he scored his great triumph in Romeo and
juliet in New York last season one OF the
most eminent critics of the metropolis said
that Shakespeare had not been read with
such rare discrimination and power since
the days OF Edwin Booth 1t only required
his splendid impersonatiOn of the character
of Norbert in the Browning drama TO salts
~ the public that he is without peer in
America In the school OF romantic acting.
Concerning Mrs lie Moyne. IL will suffice
20 say that she IS the one woman who read
to the distinguished poet from his own
writings and received his congratulations.
This should be sufficient Endorsement of her
Interpretation of Brownings works By
many OF the analytical minds that make a
study OF the drama and it's triumphs and
possibilities Miss Eleanor Robson. who con-
stitutes part Of the stellar triumvirate,
IS regarded as the great American actress
Of the future. Added to the wonderful tai
snt displayed by her In this play. in which
she achieved her first real triumph Miss
Robson possesses beauty and winsomeness
In a measure that amount almost to prodi-
gality. As II a presentation of I'm a Bal
eony' were not enough for perform :
ance. Messrs Iiebler q Co, who have ar
ranged the brief tour of the brilliant trio.
have gathered together an admirable COM
pany by which w y. Xeats's beautiful
will be presented in connection with the
Browning drama.

Lincoln ]. Carter has produced a new
sensational melodrama. The new play has
been secured by Manager Dickson for the
Park the last half OF the present week.
opening Thursday afternoon. The piece is
heralded as a thrilling melodramatic sur
prise. The scenes are all laid in southern
Alabama, in the vicinity of the city of Mo-
with thrills, although resorts to cheap sem
sationalism palpable appeals TO the gal
lery are vigorously disclaimed. The heroine
OF the play, Josephine Edgerly. an adopted
daughter, is charged with being Change
ling having for her real mother oc-
toroon slave woman. The charge is pre-
ferred by her supposed foster brother, the
villain of the piece, who is really ille-
climate son OF J0sephine's adopted father
and q slave woman. The villain, however,
masQuerades as his half-bTother, who was
drowned The half-brother was the legiti-
mate The charge against the heroine
is sustained by Mother Gubarre, Voodoo
woman, who Is the real mother of the VIII
lain. This colored is also DESTROYS of
marrying the heroine. whose ruin he is
plotting. The young woman is. however,
sisted by his sister. The play opens in
Sunnyside mansion: is continued at the ne
gro quarters. and then goes TO the swamp,
where Mother Gubarre has her cabin and
where she conducts her mysterious prac-
tees of witchcaft. y highly sensational
conclusion is the burning of the old cot
ton mill
Mir. Carter has given Down Mobile an
elaborate production and claims TO have
employed an effective Interpreting COM
pany The prospect is excellent for Park
patrons having quite theatrical treat.

Murray q Mack mt the Park.

Charles A. Murray and Ollie Mack will
present their great farcical success,
Shooting the Chutes," at the Park Thea
ter the first half of the current week, be-
gining tomorrow afternoon. The piece
is described as a comedy pIentifully sup
piled with laughing situations. Park pa
irons do not need to be told anything
about the merits of either Charles A
Murray or ollie Mack as entertainers,
for they have laughed at these funny fell
lows for many seasons past, with the ex-
ception of a brief interval when they
were separated through a business mis-
understanding. They are reunited now, and
with their new farce are prepared to make
folks laugh as they have never laughed
before. it is confidently asserted. AS a
rule the type of farce that is offered
to the theatergoing public nowadays is lit
tie else than conSlomeration of special
ties strung together in three divisions,
called acts. The author of Shooting the
Chutes has, however, worked away from
this idea, and provided an amusing, well
told story that Murray and Mack's ex-
cellent company have succeeded in elabor-
ating into an enjoyable entertainment,
meritOrious from the fact that ii not
only has all the elements of music and
fun, but that it is coherent and full of
we'll sustained interest. The three acts
of the piece have been happily seasoned
with new medley songs, dances and clever
special features, all of which are said TO
be introduced in perfectly legitimate
manner, and the presentation gives a
bright, crisp hilarious farce with the re-
freshing novelty of a plot, something de-
cidedly unique in the comedy field. and a
feature that has proven to be one of the
strongest factors in the unusual success
of the production this season.
Among the capable people in Murray and
Macks supporting company are Kittie
Beck, Lonnie Dean Katharine Roberts,
Jessie Sharp, Minnie jolly. Ethel Gibbs.
Rose Mckee, Billy Rose, Pete Curley, Billy
Primrose, Harry Lane and Leo Hardman.

drawn upon for high-class vaudeville fea-
lures for the programme at the Grand
Opera House during the week beginning

three Dumonds. They are musical eccen-
trlques. and play upon all manner of IN
struments. One OF the trio IS credited wI.h
Icing an accomplished violInist who has
appeared with the best continental musical
organizations in concert work The foreign
critics praised his great skill and technique
