The opening of the Princess theater
under the management of the ShubertS
took place on Monday night, Oct. 9Th,
with Weldon Grossmith and an Eng
lish company in a play written by this
clever entertainer called "The Night of
the Party" The play is very clever
| and put on in excellent taste, evidently
pleasing the first nighters. The thea

monious tone and atmosphere for the
light comedies they propose to present

Klaw and Erlanger, who purchased
and took possession Of the New York
theater on the 18th inst, have present
ed 6. great amusement and educational
attrac elton at this house, the like of
which has never been seen before in
this country. 1t is Carl Hagenback's
trained animals direct from his great
animal educational school in Ham
burg, Germany. Herr Hagenback eX-
hibited several groups Of educated
beasts in this country during the
Worlds Fair, but they could not pos
sibly compare with those to be seen
at the New York now, either in num-
bers, variety of animals presented or
novelty of features

Ethel Barrymore at the Savoy.
At the Savoy theater the regular sea-
son has been opened under the Froh-
man management by Miss Ethel Bar
rymCre, who came before the New
York public first with Captain Jinks,"
wondering whether she would be al
lowed to name herself as a star and
stay while at the Garrick until they
should tire of her and tell her to run
off and play on the road. The answer
was a very pleasant one from the
F'rohman's, who said that she might
come before them and give them a
taste of her quality.
She was more than pleased with
her reception and 1T has been shown
al1eady that she has not worn out her
welcome. Her success and that of her
playwright, Mr.. Clyde Fitch, has been
demonstrated. Miss Barrymore ap-
pears at the Savoy in two new plays,
"a Country Mouse" an English come
DIV by Mr. Arthur Law, and Carrots"
a cur tain raiser from the French of M.
Jules Renard. They are new plays
here but have previously found favor
in London. The Law comedy had
long run at the Princess of Wales thea
ter where it was originally produced;
at the Criterion to which 1t was re-
moved and again at the Prince Of
wales, to which house 1t was again
returned and it Is still running. Car
rots" was success at the Theater An
tcine In Paris where 1t had an extend
ed career.
