16 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH 28, AUCTION SALES. THE STAGE. Holy Week and the Theatres— General Depression. What the Managers Will Carve Up the Coming Week. Gossip Concerning Plays, Play- Houses, and Players Gen- erally. Neil Burgess on the Critics—Situation of the Dramatic Tribes. THE THEATRES. Nearly every theatre in town during the past weck has felt the influence of the religious sea- son. At Haverly’s, where “The Galley Slave" has been running, and at Hooley’s, where the at- traction has been ‘“. ‘The Hearts of Oak,” busi- ness, in comparison to that of the previous week, showed a very marked falling-off. Even the performances of Miss. Ada Cavendish received patronage by no means commensurate with the quality of the acting offered by that lady and Mr. Piercy. In regular order we have noticed the assumptions of this star during the weck,— Lady Clancarty, Juliet, and Mercy Merrick,—and further mention now is scarcely needed. Dur- Ing ber former engagement, as during her present, Mercy Merrick won for ner strong praise. Yesterday afternoon “The Hearts of Oak” organization closed the engugcment in this city, and the night train enrried the troupe toNew York, where they open pn Monday evening. ‘To-night will bethe lastof * The Gailey Slave” at Haverly’s. LOCAL NOTES. E. A. Sothern will follow Miss Ada Cavendish at McVicker’s. Miss Dolaro will appear in Miss Venie Clancy's part in * Hobbies.” . “My Mother-in-Law " willbe revived by the Dickey Lingard company to-night at Hooley's. 'The New York Express says of Miss Pixley: She is as bright a ray of sunshine as has glinted across the stage of the metropolis.” It is likely that the project to start a bijou the- atre in New York devoted entirely to. musical comedy and light opera will be carried out. The engagement finished last night by Mr. Ed- tin Booth in Boston.has been one of the most euccessful ever played by the tragedian in that city. Miss Estelle Mortimer, now playing Psyche in ” The Galley Slave ” at Haverly’s, will, we hear, leeve the company at the end of the coming week. “Much Ado About Nothing” and “As You Like Jt,” are booked for the week of the 5th at McVicker's._ Miss Cavendish will be the Beatrice and the Rosalind. It is said that Hamlin intends to closo_ his theatre on the Istof May. Between that date znd the opening of the fall season the house will be remodeled and refurnished. Mr. Will Gillette, a young comedian who has been highly spoken of in certain quarters, to- morrow night will commence an engagement at Hiunlin's in a new piece called “The Professor. “ Jane Shore.” Wills’ drama, will be performed during the week, Miss Ada Cavendish assuming: the title rile. Mr. Piercy is cast for Henry Shore, Miss Helen Sedgwick for Lady Coots, and Mi Ella Wren for the Queen. “Humpty Dumpty” will be offered to-morrow aight atthe National Theatre. Messrs. Will T. Madican, Louis Meredith, J. H, McIntosh. and the Misses Eva Earle, Fanny Wood, and Mollie Taielmun will be in the cast. “Enchantment,” the spectacle run successful- ly by the Kiralfy Brothers at Niblo’s this serson, will be seen in all its glory of spangles, fleshings, lime lights, and colored fire on Monday, the 5th, at Haverly’s. Mr. Fitzsimmons will not appear as the leading fairy. % The screaming absurdity of “Hobbies” is down on the bill for Monday night at Haverly’s. Not many weeks ago the troupe—h by Nat Goodwin and Eliza and Jennie Weathersby— were here. Their popularity during that en- gaement will be remembered. “The Lowensteins” will be the coming attrac- tion at the West Side Academy of Music. Mr. George W. Thompson will asSume the leading churacter. The new variety features are V4 Bush. a Hebrew impersonator; Mullen and Ma- fev, in Lrish specialties; and the vocalist, Nellie Grant. To-morrow night will witness the reappear- ance of Mr. Sid C. France in * Marked for Life,” a drama heavily spiced with gunpowder and red fire, “Miss Alice Sherwood will personate the heroine. Previous to the play a number of spe- cluists will perform, among them Charies petted, the La Van Brothers, and Miss Jennie tes. ‘The latest negotiations of the great theatrical absorber, Gen. John Haverly, are announced as follows: He put ina bid on Friday for an eight years’ lease of the Philadelphia Standard Thea- tre. He has boughtout Nasby's right in “ Widow Bedott.” He will send Will Davis to Denver sometime this week to see about the theatre he ts looking after in that region. He is still look- ing for conquests new. > John McCullough’s season has been the most prosperous he has ever had. and he has won the inost’ thourhtf{ul and kindly consideration wherever be has appeared. On Sunday evening lust he closed 2n engagement in St. Louis. He presented Richard HI, At the close of the per- formance, according to the Post-Dixpatch of that city, the curtain fell amid the most tumultuous vnibusiasm. The actor wns called out, and, in ope to repeated demands, made a graceful speech. An entertainment described in the billsas “a riotous novelty” will be given at Hooley's dur- {ug the Week by an organization known as * The Tragedians vf Kalamazvo.” 1f their perform- ance proves as attractive as their printing scat- tered around town it will be guod indeed. There ure in the company .Miss Gertie Granville, Miss Louise Dempsey, Miss Nellie Larkelle, Miss ara Muore, Mr. Augustus J. Bruno, Mr. Charles 7. Ellis, Mr. Alonzo Schwartz, Mr. John Foster, Mr. J. H. Burnett. Miss Cavendish has a maid who is said to be the most fuithful of servants, but to rival Mrs. Malaprop or Mrs. Partington in her conversa- ton. ‘She always locks up the parts in “ Much to Do About Nothing,” and she insisted the other day, when asked to fetch the music for the minuct, that there was no mignonet used in * Romeo and Juliet.” To a friend who inquired about Miss Cavendish at_atime when the lady was suffering from a sore throat, this devoted attendant said feelingly that “there was some in- Hunratton: but fortunately no wlsters in the roat.” The third annual benefit of the B. P. 0. Elks, Lodge No, 4, will oveur at Haverly's ‘Theatre on Thursday afternuon. An unusually strong pro- kram kas been arranged, which ought to draw a lree audience. Among the names of people who have volunteered to appear We novice those of Miss Ada Cavendish and her compuny. in- cluding Mr. Piercy, the Weathersby: Froliques. the Tragedians of Kalamazoo. Sid France. Mr. Charles T. Ellis, Miss Clara Moore, r. Wiliam Gillette, Mr. Charles Gardiner. the German Comique, and a cluster of specialists of more or less renown. Herne and Belnsco’s baggage was attached yesterday afternoon just as they were lifting it upon the 5:15 train Tor New York. The com- nant is x 3{rs. Watson, who olaims to have been engaged to play the’ role of unt Betscy upon the — original’ reduction of “The Hearts of Oak” at Hamlin’s. She thinks she sustained a loss of $200 by the non-fulfiliment of the coptract on the part of Herne and Belasco. ‘hese genticmen say that, owing to herinability to grasp the réle, they were compelled to breal the agreement. Mrs. Watson's lawyer has the baggage, and Herne’s lawyer on Monday morn- ing will try 10 juggle it out of his possession with- out paying the claim. Fora lively bit of blood-curdling excitement Jet_us commend the reader to “Ben McCul- jouch,” the drama of the famous—yes, that's the word—American actor, Oliver Doud Byron, Oliver thoroughly believes in the saving grace of. revolvers and gunpowder, and never permitsthe tre is at work on the stage. The play covers 2 period of about eighteen years. Ben McCul- laugh is married toa young, and fascinating, and phenomenally devoted wife, Maud(Miss Fletcher). 4 very bad man, with designs upon the young aad beautiful wife, manages to fix the theft of 2 pocketbook upon ‘the hero, who is forthwith sent to the State's Prison for ten years. His wife, through the intrigue of the bud nin and the machinations of u very bad case of mother-in-law, hears noth- ing of her husband. Subsequently Ben turns up, a Ia Rip Van Winkle, sitting in the snow upon} his own grave. He encounters the vil- lnin. “The moment for revenge has come. Ben plucks up his own tombstone and promptly lays the villain low. Everything is ultimately made all right, the bad mother-in-law meeting a pun- ishment suitable to the gallery and commensu- mute with her bad deeds. The Academy com- pany suppert Mr. Byron. Miss Lizzie Fletcher, 4 young lady with a good face, figure, and un- doubted intelligence, is the leading actress of the company. She gives promise. We would, however. recommend that she study gesture and a more natural style of delivery. Miss Anzie Boyd personates a rollickt part huppily, and Mr. George W. Thompson is very febeitous in his picture of a German dialect part. Mr. T.J. Langdon. who is always cast for the blood-curd- Ming aliain. is the cour Of Ben McCullougi's trouble. This even ie play will be given for the last time at the Academy,” 2 GREEN-ROOM GOSSIP. Mr. W. Terris, of the St. James Theatre, Lon- Jon, has signed & twelve months’ contract with Attractic Anderson, Mary. aac | Anthony & Ellis... Te De EN a Re OTe, Lester Wallack. $e makes his first appearance Oct. 1, with Rose Coghlan as leading lady. . “My religious scruples,” says John McCul- lough, “almost prevent me from playing on Sunday night.” ‘The theatrical favorit in London at the pres- ent hour appears to be Miss Genevieve Ward. Next season she will be seen in’ America. Bronson Howard's “‘ Banker's Daughter,” now known as “ The Old Love and the New,” is being favorably received in the English provinces. In New York they say that the young gentle- man lutely married to Miss Granger is not a prospective heir of the late Frank Leslie's prop- erty; neither was he an cditor; hut at one time he was a bookkeeper in the publishing house. ‘The experience of the “Widow Bedott” com- ee, bas evidently been profitable. Neill urgess, speaking of the critics, said the other day to somebody: “Why, my dear fellow, they're all gentlemen of the first water: { haven't met any other kind since have been traveling. And they've all got their eyes wide open, too. They won't stand any pockeving. from the advance-agent or any bam- boozling from the star himself. The day bas gone by for slapping the editor on the back, calling him ‘oid boy,’ asking him to take some- thing, and then being certain. of a good notice the next day. Why, Dow, if you tell the news- paper-man that you have got the best play on the road; that you're the greatest actor in America; that your company is something en- tirely unequaled; and that he will admit the truth of what you say when he sees the per- formance, begad,—I repeat, if you tell him all this, he'll go to the theatre, judge for himself, and conchide you have the idea that he isan ass, and, wishing to convince you of your mis- take, he writes accordingly, and the result is the whole thing gets an exaggerated dressing-down, A performance has got to stand on its own merits—or its advertising—nowadays, when handled by the out-of-town press.” “Itis very amusing,” remarks the Usher in the Mirror, “to watch the progress of a theat- rical paragraph through the length and brendth of the land. It starts, for instance, in Boston, the source of myriads of quecr things. It is something, perhaps, about a well-known actress’ age, her exact avoirdupols, the size of her siip- per, her bust measure, orsome equally impudent and irrelevant piece of information. I take up a Galveston paper 4 few days later, and there, among the dramatié notes, is that paragraph, copied bodily, and, of course, without credit. Next it is found in the Cincinnati Commer- cial; and I take particular notice that the compiler, wishing to give a flavor of origin- ality to his work, has couched it in fresh Janguage. Then, a week later, up it comes to the surface in Chicago. In this. progres- sive turn the paragraph that. has become really dear by long association has been put ‘through the mill once more, and comes out surprisingly altered. If the Bostonese gabbled of the favorit actress’ age, five or six years have been added to it; if of her weight, she has grown thin with amazing rapidity: if of her slipper. the foot it incloses has shrunk to great- ly diminished proportions—and so on through the entire catalog. The Chicago Jenkins seems to think u choice tidbit of knowledge like that contained in the perennial paragraph is nothing if not considerably intensified. And so from paper_to paper, from village to’city, this prod- uct of the Boston man's ingenuity is bottled ike a shuttlecock, until it arrives ut Sun Fran- cisco, where its mangled and distorted remains turn up in a condition nearly unrecognizable. But this isn’t its unhappy end. At a moderate estimate, that unfortunate paragraph will break out bere and there for the next five years, and it becomes such a truly old and valuable friend ‘that the exchange editor undergoes a really de- pressing disappointment if it does not appear -every day in at least one of the newspapers in his budget.”* PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY. ‘The following stars and combinations will, during the coming week, play at the places named.

Miss Henrietia Vader Andree, dnushter of the Saiqulse.s. Mise i- Cresas ‘Nichol i ~Sfiss Hattie Arnold “The IHuminati” appears to have failed in winning either popular or critical favor. The press unanimously condemn it. We are told in the New York Herald that the idea and many of the situations are takenfrom Alexandre Dumas’ novel of “Doctor Balsamo,” and also from the play of the same name, produced at the Second Théatre peng ined in 188. The play of “The illuminate,” however, begins whens the real action of Dumas’ play ends. Its first act is ir- relevant to the story, which begins at the end of the second act. The grand climax in the novel turns upon the ruin of Andree, maid of honor to Marie Antoinette. In “The Iliuminati.” the future Queen and Mine. Duvarry do not appear. ‘The piece terminates with the tall uf the Bustile in u blaze of red fire. * The impression left upon the mind,” says the Herald, *- was one of confu- sion, and the absence of purpose or motive was evident from the end of the second act. It is not an improvement upon the work of Alex- andre Dumas, fils, and, although the moral tone Hbetter It has been attained at the sacrifice of dramatic unity and sequence. RIVAL OF THE KEELY MOTOR. The Wonderful Results of Mixing Pe- troleum and Bi-Sulphide of Carbon. — New York Graphic. Now York is threatened with another motor which is destined ‘to revolutionize trade and commerce " and many other wonderful things. It has this advantage over its Philadelphia pre- decessor that there is nothing mysterious about it, thereremains nothing to be patented, and any one may see all there is in a aye Pitts- yurg inventors, who in 1873 worked out success- fale anoldidea, whitch has been tried fora hundred yenrs, have taken x warehouse at Rutgers and Cherry streets, where they yester- day exhibited what they call the “maminoth motor.” Itconsistsof a boiler and high-pres- sure engine such as are ordinarily used for steam, except that they are of greater strength, with & condenser and a small iron-tank, tho Jatter containing a mixture of crude pe- troleum and Di-sulphide of carbon. ie vapor. of bi-sulphide of carbon bas long been experimented with as a motive ower, but its great strength prevented it from ung snecessfully used because of the difficulty incontrolling it. Its admixture with petroleum, it is claimed, bas obviated the latter, difficulty, and the inventors of the process say the experi- ments seem to confirm the statement that while the power can be increased or diminished almost instantaneously, an assured pressure 100 per cent greater than that of steam can be obtained at a nominal cost. ‘The inventors are Mr. Edgar Smith and Mr. J. R. Milligan, who have taken out, patents in this country, England, Germany, France, Austria, Jtaly, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Australia, and Canada. The control of the American patent will, it is understood, prss into the bands of a New York company, the head of which is Mr. Henry F. Hamill, of the Delamater Iron Works. The patentees are Pittsburg machinists, who had deen carryin on their experiments in that city unsuccessfully for several vears, when, in 1838, they succeeded in controlling the enormous ower which had previously been developed From the Real by other experimenters, an took out their patents. 3 ‘The petroleum used is lubricating ofl of 600 degrees fire test, and water is mixed with it and with the bi-sulphide of carbon, The great econ- omy results from the fact that the latter, which is extremely cheap, can be used over and over again, vaporizing at extremely low tempera- tures,'so that little tire is needed, and the water inthe boiler necd only be kept at any point above 160 degrees. This can be done by a light or stack fire. ‘The vapor, instead of being blown off, passes into a condenser, seems instantly to resume its first condition, and can be imme- dintely used over again the same as condensn- tion water is. Asingle pound of the materal, costing ten cents, it is claimed, can be used for ancentire week, making it about as costly 2s water, while only per cent as much coal will be required in keeping up the boiler heat as is necessary for steam-engines. Should this prove to be true, the advantage to ocean steamers in the saving of space and tonnage in carrying coal, ns well _as in the cost of the Intter, will be enormous. The cost of the small quantity of coal-oil used is represented as practically noth- ee A Child Scized by'an Eagle. Miron, N.
