lam c. Weldon and company of 100, in an
elaborate revival of the tuneful comic opera
classic. "Ermin!e'' This engagement in
this city promises to be one of the most i'm
portant events of the season. The manage
ment of Mr.. Wilson has put forth every
effort possible in making this attraction
brilliant, attractive and satisfying. Sue
cess, financial and artistic, was scored dur
ing the Boston, New York, Pittsburg and
other engagements.
'Erminie' was first presented at the
Casino in New York city in the fall of 1886,
and from the very first the opera was a de-
cided success. The opera had run in the
metropolis that has never been beaten by
any other attraction, and since the original
production the opera has been revived four
times, and the present revival is the most
elaborate and the most expensive of the
operate stage has met with such genuine
approval as 'Erminie," and no opera has
had productions as Mr.. Wilson and his
management have given to ''Erminie.'
The score and the book used in the pres
ent production is exactly the same as used
In the original production, not a note or
line having been changed, and by the inter-
polation of several numbers the opera Is
made even more attractive than before.
New scenery and effects. lights and music
are characteristics of the revival.

A PRIMA DoNNA'S OPINION OF
TIGHTS.-Jesse Bartlett Davis the emf
nent contralto with Francis Wilson in EFT
mimic" was in state of mind recently be-
cause two foolish chorus girls quit their
positions when they were ordered to wear
ugntS. IL Is quite possible that the girls
had good reasons for refusing to wear
tights. but Miss Davis chose to deliver a
rehearsal lecture on the subject, and fixed
her eyes on Francis Wilson, who sat near
by. but was unable to escape Miss Davis
said: when will the stage women know
that it is not the role, but the women, who
make the tights obnoxious or respectable?
The real actress loses herself in her role.
She is not woman in boys clothes, but a
boy at heart. as well as in tights. Why are
there young women who can wear tights
with absolute dignity and others who can
not raise lace-trimmed skirts without max
ing the act indecent?" Wilson faltered for
moment. and then bravely answered:
You can search me. Better ask George
Monroe or Neil Burgess

National Theater,

It matters little in what precise kind of
vehicle the talents of Annie Russell are pre-
scented to the public. she is always sure of
a warm welcome. There is an undefnable
something about her personality that Is Pc
culiarly her own. Over year ago Charles
Frohman presented Miss Russell in WASH
ington in Mice and Men," play by Made
lire Lucette Ryley. So great was its sue
cess that after playing in one other city it
was taken into New York. where for num-
Der Of months at the Garrick Theater Miss
Russell was greeted by large audiences.
Monday night at the National Theater Miss
Russell will begin an engagement which is
for six nights and Saturday matinee, and
will again present Mice and Men" Her
performance in this quaint picturesque play
is distinctly remembered here. 1t is only
necessary to mention the names of Mrs.
Gilbert, Oswald Yorke and John Glendin-
