Our own Castle Square Joseph Lohengrin
SheehaE. a poet? Incredible! Nevertheless
It's true. The current issue Of the Criterion
Is enriched by O verse bearing Mr.. Shee-
hans signature and having as its inspira-
ton tho White knight. Lohengrin-the role
the popular tenor 10 singing this week at
the Century. Mr.. Sheehan admits that he
u guilty Of mounting Pegasus in the in
tervals Of riding behind LohenGrin's white
swan, and displayed between the acts OF
"Lohengrin" last evening a check bearing
the signature Of Mrs. Davidson, publisher Of
the Criterion. in payment for his first poetic
flight. MIR. Sheehan's poem is as follows:
LoHENGRIN.
His strength is Us the strength Of ten,
Because his heart 10 true.
He sings enough for eight good men
And acts far more than two.
And yet. when salary day comes round
But one mans wage his due.
Mr.. Mansfield has achieved another OF his
successes In "Beaucaire." In which he is to
come to the olympic next week. The play
has received the heartiest of praise, and
what is more to the point. heavy support in
Chicago for several weeks.
"
David Warfield. the young man who IS at
the head Of this weeks Olympic entertain
ment. has seen fit to stick to one Zine"
For years he has played the sort of part
he is now making famous. Recently he has
not been seen much in st. Louis. his East
ern engagements having been so numerous
and SO successful that there was left little
to do on the road" He was first here
as a peddler Of shoestrIngs In Johnny Rus
sells About Town" He had only a few
lines to speak. but he spoke them so eff
fectively that he made an impression. In
the company with him then were BILLY"
Mack. since dead; Dan Daily. the elongated
comedian: Ada Dare. the statuesque beauty,
and Billy Cameron. the dancing funny man.
Later Mr.. Warfeld came here with In
Gay New York" when he made q joke that
has stuck in the memory:
There was a business-house door bearing
tho sign. Private; keep out" warheld en-
tered. whereupon the proprietor, rushing
the peddler into the street, exclaimed:
Cant you see the sign?"
Yes" said the peddler.
'"Then why did you enter?"
"Begause. you know. I don'd belisvs in
signsI'
On Friday and Saturday evening Of this
week Mr.. Thomas and his orchestra will
give two concerts In the Odeon. The pro-
grammes are made up OF the most popular
selections In Mr.. Thomas's repertoire and
are intended to interest the masses. who.
under ordinary circumstances. do not enjoy
an orchestral performance. Mr.. Thomas Is
anxious to cooperate with those unsteady
inclined persons Of this city who are trying
to popularizs orchestral music, and has
made these selections with that end in
view. BY bringing the Chicago orchestra
to st. Louis the st. Louis public is able
to enjoy without extra expense that which
costs Chicago about 10000 a year more
than the gross receipts from all the con-
certs given in Chicago and whe II
the people in st. Louis patronize the
Thomas concerts sufficiently to demonstrate
an earnest desire to hear this organization
It's visits Will continue next season. The
