THEATRICAL NOTES

| When William Faversham comes 70
the Grand Opera House on Tuesday night
he will be seen in Charles Frohman's re-
vival Of the popular success Of several sea-
sons ago. Lord and Lady Algy.' Mr..
Faversham achieved the triumph Of his
career in the part of the sporty youns
lord. and no play ever had a more pros
porous run at the Empire, New York,
than shis one. The revival Of the play on
Broadway recently proved how well 1t
was liked by theatre-goers, for it dupli-
Gated its business. of several years ago.
One Of the most exciting scenes in 'The
Chi,d Slaves of New York" which appears
at the Lyceum today and one that never
fails to arouse the audience 10 furore
OF enthusiasm, is that In which William
Vedder as Homer Sherwood, detective. re-
ceives a call from Banker Van Doren
whom he has never seen before, and by
clever series of deductions, tells him his
name and address. where he came from,
where he stopped en-route, The line OF
cars used in< reaching his office, the OBJ
iect Of his visit. etc. with the assurance
that he will solve the mystery in three
days.
"The Fast Mall" an intensely interest
ing melodrama will soon be seen at the
lLyceum. The climaxes at times are start
Hing Ia the extreme and are well wrought.
The mechanical effects are excellent. The
second act presents Mississippi steamer,
(which, through deed of villainy Is
blown up by boiler explosion. One of the
most realistic pieces of mechanism IS a
fun sized locomotive attached to a Irain
Of freight cars. on the roofs OF which
may be seen brakesmen riding, while the
I Locomotive under fun steam finally sue
ceeds in hauling the long freight out Of
the station. Niagara Falls by moonlight is
setting worthy Of special mention.
Herman Sandby. who win appear as
soloist at the third and last concert Of
the Philadelphia Orchestra at the
Grand Opera House next Monday
levening February s, was comparative
ly unknown in this country until he
} made his debut with the Philadelphia
Orchestra at its opening concert in
Philadelphia, four years ago.
With one scant rehearsal he rendered
all three movements of the Dvorak con-
certo a work which taxes the most
extreme technical ability and which at
the same time gives fun sway for the
. exposition of poetic temperament and
+ broad verile expression. The success
of Mr.. Sandby was instantaneous, COM
plete and convincing. There was
nothing IN his rendition of the con-
, certo nor in the orchestra's sympa-
thetic accompaniment that indicated
that the time of preparation has been
so slight. The critics of. the Philadel-
phia papers were unanimous IN the
opinion that Mr.. Sandy represented
the very highest type Of talent either
in America or Europe.
Big audiences greeted the Aubrey
Stock Company at both performances
at the Opera House yesterday after
noon and last night. in addition to
the excellent acting done by the com
pany generally, interesting specialties
are given between the acts. The mat

? "A welcome event. No play has stood
the test OF popular favor better, and no
star has more friends amongst the the
atre-goers than Miss Claxtpn who stili
portrays the trials and tribulations of
