Robin Hood includes a company OF
fifty people, and viii no doubt meet
with a great reception, as it was al
ways popular here when given by the
original Bostonians.
The advance sale Of tickets indicates
that Fast Life in New York" the new
Theodore Kremer melodrama. bids fair
to play to the banner week Of the sea-
son when it comes to the Lyceum to-
morrow. This is one of the greatest
and most sensational melOdramas writ
ten during the past decade. and deals
with a theme that is always interesting.
1t holds the interest of the auditor
from the start and the spectator has
cause to regret when the final curtain
is reached. 1t has four stirring acts,
each one more attractive and thrilling
than the other. There is action in ev-
cry line of the piece. Comedy and
pathos are equally blended and one
scene in particular which has been
commended for its realism and unflag-
.ging interest, is a pool room in full
blast. Here one sees followers of the
thoroughbreds. students of the dope"
land form" trying to court Dame
Fortune. The hero, John Drew, stakes
his last dollar on the favorite, Queen
lBess. The favorite is defeated and
Drew is penniless. The interest is
closely held while the telegraph opera
tor is calling out the positions Of the
horses and a description of the excit-
ling race. There is plenty of comedy
while this is being done, but it never
permits of the scene becoming gro
ltesque or artificial.
One OF the scenes in the new and
sensational melodrama. THE Confess
slons of a Wife" from the pen of
owen Davis, and which will appear at
the Lyceum on November 20, p and %,
lis a raging blizzard. 1t occurs in the
fourth act of this successful and pow
erful play. The Western express,
which carries the hero, oliver Ash
more. cross country in search of his
poor wife. Alice. who has been forced
to leave her home by the tongue of
gossip and slander. is stalled by snow
drifts in a wild country. The engine
lpuffs laboriously in an effort to move
lahead but it is Of no use.
In the fight which the blind light
house keeper. Caleb Gale, has with the
Villains in the third act of Lighthouse
lby the Sea-" which comes to the Ly-
lceum November %, the effect is thrill
ing.
