Al c. Fields Greater MinstreIs.

Al G. Field and his Ministries are meet
ing with the usual success everywhere
this season. The mere announcement
that the big show will be seen at the
Jefferson next Friday and Saturday
nights, with a matinee Saturday is
enough to insure three crowded houses.
The criticism of the Rochester, N Y,
Union and Advertiser is a fair sample of
what the papers are saying, as follows
The AL G. Field minstrels were given a
rousing reception at the opening of the
season at the National theatre last night.
The audience had not seen a theatrical
performance in some time. and it was In
a proper mood to enjoy the Field offer
ings to the fullest extent For some
three hours the minstrels entertained the
audience splendidly receiving many en-
cores in appreciation of the excellence Of
their work. Indeed, upon several occa-
sions the leaders in the fun were called
back and back until they were unable to
respond again The audience packed the
theatre and found in the Field production
one of the most spectacular and elabo-
rate performances ever seen at that play
house.
The Field songsters and fun makers
acquitted themselves in the best manner
possible, and few details were overlooked
to make the performance all that had
been claimed for it. The opening scene
was entitled 1.-THE Fiesta of Flowers"

The tremendous climax of the play is,
however, brought about when the father,
Colonel Schwartze, endeavors to compel
Magda to marry the man who caused her
shame and whose condition is that she
shall renounce her child and only see
it in secret. 1t is then that all her pent-
up indignation, her battered of her be-

her absolute refusal of obedience, brings

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP.

The forthcoming visit of Human

coined by the lovers of all that is good
in melodrama. Human Hearts" is be-
yond question one of the strongest and
most interesting of plays that has ever
visited our city The author belongs TO
that all too small group of dramatsts
who understand how to reach the heart
and hold the attention of the audience
In Human Hearts he has constructed
a play that will never grow old.

plays selected for this engagement are

coming will naturally attract unusual
attention on the part of theatregoers.

1.-THE Wolf, Here Tomorrow.

OF 1.-The Wolf Eugene Walters IA
nous and successful drama, which comes
TO the Jefferson tomorrow night and
Tuesday matinee and night, muchs has
been written of laudatory nature by
the critics, and particularly of the in
tense and novel climax to each of its
three acts.
The close of the last act especially is
declared to be one of the most unique
and striking seen in a number of years.
The hero and the villain of the drama
fight a duel almost entirely in the dark,
and the audience can only see the two
figures in fierce encounter, without be-
ing able to distinguish which is which.
When one of them finally falls dead and
the victor stands over him the spectators
are not sure of the identity of either.
This is disclosed by the light of a match
with which the hero sets fire to his cigar
cite. The appearance of the white face
of the winner, standing out of the sur
rounding blackness in the flare of the
match flame is so dramatic an incident
that the applause at the Lyric theatre.
New York, was often delayed while the
audience took in the picture. AS the
light begins to flicker and burn out, the
applause starts and grows into deafen-
ing avalanche.
This is a melodrama-real, stirring mel
odrama of the old-fashioned kind, ac-
cording to the critics of the metropoli-
tan dailies-and yet the wise Broad
way audience, generally so cool and dis
sdainful did not realize that it was, and
lent itself to applause as vociferous as
any gallery god ever did. That was
the remarkable thing about the great sue
cess of 1.-THE Wolf" Eugene Walter, its
author, demonstrated that a play can be
a truly great work, masterpiece, in fact,
and still be melodrama. There is an old
saying that "all the world loves a lover"
and it is equally true that all the world
loves melodrama when it is we'll written,
plausible real and true to life Broad
way never would admit this fact before,
until Walter gave them 1.-THE WOLF"
frankly and truly labeled as a melo-
drama, and they had to like 1t. This re-
markabe success will no doubt prove as
big a hit with theatregoers here and one
