The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-20

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, June 19.-Four regular
theatrical shows on Broadway is the
King marker of any theatrical season
the metropolis has yet seen.
They are all worth an all summer
run, and it is doubtful if any one will
drop out before the time comes for
rehearSalS for next season.
One of the best things about "a Chi
nese Honeymoon" performance at the
Casino is the enterprise of a manage
ment which keeps the interest of the
players at top notch, and which pro-
Vides at considerable cost such capa-
bic lot of understudies, that no matter
when illness or accident comes the Suf-
fering principal is temporarily and
most satisfactorily replaced by a player
anxious to show at the best. All per-
formances at the Casino go with the,
same delightful snap, precision and
smOothness, just the object aimed at
by MesSrs. Sam S. Shubert and Nixon
& Zimmerman. They don't let money
stand in the way of giving their pa
irons the very best, as is plainly in ev-
idence when one looks over the list of
principals in the case and begins
mental calculation as to the cost of the
rich silk and brocade costumes and the
lavish scenic environment. 1t has been
a long time since there has been a cast
on Broadway to compare in strength
with the one which includes in strength
Mr.. Thomas Q. Seabrooke, Miss Adele
Richie, Mr.. Edwin Stevens, Mr.. Van
Rensselaer, Wheeler, Mr.. William Fru-
cite Miss Amelia Stone; Mrs. Annie
YeamanS, Miss Aimee Angeles, Miss
Hella f. Webb, Miss Edith Barr, and
diminutiVe but eXcruciatingly funny
Miss Katie Barry.
"The Defender" Promises We'll.
There seems to be every probability
that THE Defender has come to the
Herald Square to stay for several
weeks, and to round out the season at
that popular house until room must be
made for the new play which the Shu-
berts will install there The three
scenes make extremely pretty stage
settings, and are entirely appropriate
TO the time of year. The first shows
the landing of yacht club, giving the
house, pier and water. The second is
on board yacht replete with nautical
paraphernalia. 1t is an extremely fine
example of stage craft. The last is a
villa at Newport, with the usual ac-
commandment of spacious verandas,
Examinations and flora. There are not
less than $50 people in the company.
The chorus includes an unusually
large number of pretty girls, and the
Leading characters are cleverly imper-
sonated by Paula Edwards Sandol
Maym Kelso, Amy Ashmore, Harry
Davenport, Alexander Clark, Richie
Ling, and Emma Carus
The LedererS have decided to keep
1.-THE Wild Rose" on at the Knicker-
booker until the Fall, when it will be
followed blythe Rogers Brothers COM
pany. New songs are constantly being
introduced. ana many of the songs
quickly become popular on Broadway
A number of persons nightly drop into
the knickerbocker to listen to Eddie
Foy's new song, 'Iney Were All Doing
the Same" and seem never tired Of
listening to the funny ditty. The same
is true in regard to Marie CashilPs
rendition of Nancy Brown"
1.-THE Salt Cellar"
An excellent bill at Keith's is headed
by Charles Dickson & Co. in his one
act domestic comedy THE Salt Cellar"
Mr.. Dickson having created the part of
Sir THOMAS Teaton in THE Defender"
left the cast of that production for a
shortrrevival of this playlet, which was
the vehicle used by Lillian Burkhart
and himself in theft first starring tour.
Raymond and CaVerly the celebrated
German comedians the three Navaros,
so well known for their wonderful aero
patio feats; Dooley and Ten Brooke,
blackface comedians and vocalists.
The passing OF the stormy season
has given new life to the roof gardens.
which are now teeming with life and
variety.
The latest addition to the metropoli
tan galaxy is Japan by Night" on the
roof of the Madison Square garden
rms is one of the most unique novel
ties attempted so far this season, and
proved an immediate success.
The spacious roof has been converted
into genuine Japanese village, and a
show by japanese talent is given.
The new additions to the bill at
Hammerstein'S Paradise gardens have
met with success. The Piccolo Midgets
