CHANGES IN THE THEATRES.
Popular Dramas Seen on New
stages In the Present Week.

Andreas DIPPED brought 1.-The Lilac
Domino back TO the Manhattan Opera
House Monday night to show that this
well liked work has not exhausted It's
popularity yet. although II was sung for
several months at one of the largest the
atres in the city. II succeeded
in filling the Manhattan Opera House
with an enthusiastic audience which
welcomed heartily the popular members
OF the company. Eleanor Painter still
sings the leading role. In the excellent
acoustics OF the Manhattan Opera House
the score of Cuvillier sounded more ef-
fective than ever. The Lilac Domino"
Is really the notable success OF the sea
son in operetta.
w. A. Brady has decided to continue
the performance OF "Yeomen Of the
Guard" for another week at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre. so cordial has
been the reception OF this work of Gilbert
and Sullivan. Certainly Mr.. Hopper has
done nothing more artistic than his per-
Torrance of the luckless jester. 1.-THE
Yeomen OF the Guard has probably had
fewer representations than any OF the
other we'll known operettas of the two
famous coTlabOrators.
Marie Dressler started last night to
close up the dramatic season at the
STANDARD Theatre, AZ she was appearing
In "A Mix Up she had all the neces-
sary opportunity to keep the audience
in an uproar of mtrth. Next week
season OF opera will begin.
Still another New York theatre has

transferred the popular morality play

no changes in the cast with the excep-
/ ton OF the substitution of Louise Squir,-

her beauty needed rest and she has
taken short vacation, william FL
