WEST END THEATRE INDEPENDENT.
Harlem House Books Plays for Next Season

The New West End Theatre in Harlem which
was opened this fall and booked its attractions
through the so-caed Theatrical Syndicate Book

he an independent house OTTER this season. 1t
will then offer such attra Miss Crosman,
Mrs. Fiske. James K. Hackett, Miss bel Irving
and the Castle Square Opera Company. Accord
ing to the statement of NJ. R. Bmberg, manager
of the West End. this step has been made neces-
sary by the refusal of the Klaw & Erlanger
agency to give him attractions Of the grade of
merit he desired.
Il learned when our theatre opened in Novem-
these attractions because of the agreement ex~
listing between the syndicate and the management
of the Harlem Opera House. prohibiting the syn
dicate from booking airy 81 50 attractions in any
other Harlem playhouse. This agreement has
three years more to rum and feel confident that
unless take radical measures to secure these at
fractions outside of the syndicate patrons will
be compelled to go other theatres L obliged
to give the syndicate ~ per cent Of my gross re-
ceipts. and I had every right TO expect a reason
ably good run for my money.
We have 5000 invested in this building, and
we do not think that we should encourage our own
ruin by permitting the Syndicate TO continue the
policy that in the end would mean the destruction
of our theatre.

of this difficulty and opened negotiations with

THE DRAMA.
An Ascfl Bore.

A presentment Of one OF Shakespeare's plays
made In exact accordance with the stage custom of
Shakespeare's time, might prove instructive, but
under the best of circumstances it probably would
be tedious The effort in this direction that
made last night at the pretty little theatre called
Mrs. Osbornes Play House, was fiaccid with in
competence and CHASTITY with dulness The murder
Of the great tragedy of Romeo and Juliet when
done by average actors and in the usual manner is
sufficiently painful: the butchery of by amateurs
is intoierable Nothing could readily be worse, in
every respect, than the performance that was
given by Mr. Shorts company. Mr.. Harry
beightons impersonat!on of Mercutio revealed,
ihoeeo talent and experience: he spoke the dream
speech we'll. and he made good end. with the con-
Nenuonal time honored business Mr. George
turner gave respectable portrayal of Friar Law
renee. and Mr.. Bertram Yost delivered the Pro-
logue in Judicious and eff ective way: but the
performance OF Romeo was an atrocty of bad
acting. and the performance Of Juliet made it
clear not only that she cannot act, but that she
cannot even read. Never were the beautiful lines
OF these lovers more ruthlessly mangled than by
these frivolous affected silly persons. and never
was this wonderful play Of passion and anguish
mace more wearisome and ridiculous.
The partial imitation of sixteenth century stage
customs could not redeem this general effect OF
disaster. The Elizabethan stage lacked scenery
though TO the extent that is commonly sup
posed,-but it did not lack actors: and. without
these, the two platforms, the placards the hobbng
servitor. and the registering auditors make but a
Peer display. Females did not participate in the
atrical performances in Shakespeares time tnor
until the reign Of Charles II, is well known.
and ladies who attended theatrical performances
did not so unmasked. This production, in brief.
deficient OF technical fidelity IL is of his
tTionic competence and artistic beauty and there
IS earthly reason why it should exist. Anybody
who wants know how crude the old stage devices
were. and vet how opulent some of the dis
plays in mssqUes, etc, gather all the neces-
sarv information from Collier, Schegel, or
Falliwell-t2hilips or any good eycopedis, with
endurance of desecration of Shakespeare or
waste OF time upon awful bore. W. ".

oLNEY MEETS CLEVELAND HERE.
W. c. Whitney Also Said To Be Caller ON
the Ex-President

Ex-President Cleveland, who attended the CITY
Club meeting on Monday night, remained IN
this city yesterday. 1t regarded as sig
nificant by some that ex-Secretary of state
Olney visited New-York yesterday and had d,
long talk with the ex-President. 1t was re-
ported that William c. Whitney, who was Sec
retary of the Navy in President Cleveland's s
Cabinet, was also present at this conference,
but tHis could not be verified. Mr. Cleveland
said yesterday morning that the meeting with
Mr.. Olney was purely accidental, and that there
was simply a reunion. MIR. Cleveland would
not discuss politics yesterday. Mr.. Oney was
equally reticent, and left the city for Boston
at noon
