Theatrical Notes.

The advance sale of seats for Mrs. Fiske's
engagement at the Park Theater next Fri
day and Saturday in Mary Of Magdala"
began yesterday morning. and all day long
the lobby at the Park was thronged with
purchasers of tickets. Not until late in the
afternoon did the line of people begin to
diminish TO any appreciate extent. The
line began to form Sunday night and quite
a number of persons, principally boys who
had been hired by hotel men and specu-
lators, waited all night long for the begin
ming of the sale. The spectators met with
disappointment when they learned that no
more than six tickets were allowed a
single purchaser. BY the time the sale
closed last night the greater part of the
house had been sold for the opening eve
ming of the engagement. There are still
some desirable seats left, however, and
good seats are to be obtained for the
matinee and evening performances Satur-
day Indications point to another heavy
demand to-day.

Burlesque at the Empire.

In "censoring'' Clark's Royal Burlesque
Show to make it fit for this city the blue
pencil was used in such way that
the show falls short of pleasing. With all
the cutting done there yet remains a
number of suggestive remarks and songs
that could well be dispensed with. The
woman by the name of Rosalie hit 1t
right yesterday when she told the gal
lery gods that the management of the
theater would not allow her to pander to
their depraved tastes. The two burlesques
are slow and without any mark of humor.
The only pleasing features of this part of
the show is the singing. Ada Buttner gave
a pleasing rendition of Coming Thro' the
Rye" She was assisted by the chorus.

as the acrobatic work of the two La Walls

plause. The trio have two grotesque CO.
mediums in the turn and they are funny.
The men have a number of difficult tricks,
which they execute gracefully. The La
Walls are clever in their horizontal bars
and chain trapeze. The man has a wonder
full muscular development, and balances the
woman by his feet while he twirls in the
air.
