16 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES. THE STAGE. Public Appetite for the Variety Dishes of Jarrett and Smith. Dramatic Outlook for the Coming Week in the City and Elsewhere. Gossip Concerning the Figures in the Mimic World—Profes- sional Directory. RETROSPECTIVE. Some foreign observer of our social character- istics remarks that the American people are so exclusively devoted to money-getting that they have neither time to eat, sleep, nor think, and they devour literature after the same fash- ion that the lower unimals devour food. There is n semblance of truth in the observation It we do not apply it too sweepingly to an entire na- tion. Among a very considerable class, the busy business people. of a great city there is probably an indisposition to occupy the brain, wenried with the day's toll, in serious thought, but rather-to seek light recreation. And when it fs considéred that it ison this class that the Providers of public entertainments mainly de- pend for their profits, it ceases to be a wonder that, whether in journalism or in theatrical amusements, the tendency is in,the direction of frivolity. Melancholy peopie, oppressed with the cares of business, are rarely in 2 mood to enjoy philosophical essays or philosophical plays, A comic story is more to their taste than a sombre political dissertation and a merry farce or a gorgeous stage spectacle than the meta- physical subtictics of a Hamlet or the weird ter- rors of a Macheth. 7 It is all very well to mourn with A certain class of sad-eyed critics over the shelving of the ‘‘le- gitimate drama,” and to deplore the fudifference ef the public toward esthetic culture. But what are you going to do about it, or rather what is Ted for the theatrical manager to do but eabibit what will please the majority? There has been nothing at any of our theatres during the week in the remotest degree approaching “ the legitimate,” and the result was that nearly every pluce of entertainment bas been crowded every night. In ail the pieces presented—with One exception, that of “The Two Orphans” at Hooley’s— there was a notable absence of ma- terial for thought. Light, bright, effervescent Inn, good envugh to create’ a hearty laugh for anhour or two and be forgotten before we wo to sleep. Such hus been the character of the two principal entertuinments of the | week,—"The “Tourists” at Haverly's and “Fun on the Bristol” at MceVicker's. We hive already suid all thut is possible to be said by way of criticism on these two productions, and ui ed not recur to the subject further than ty puiut to them as an illustration of what we have been saying. And it is also noteworthy Ihut the excepuon above named afforded a fur- ther illustration of the fact that busy people— and this is a very busy time—only want some- thing to make them laugh and stop thinking. Tbe “Orphans” did alight business. ‘The pub- lic were not in the vein to weep over the woes of the blind girl, and they preferred to go and grin over the absurdities of Pat Rooney at the Olym- Pic, or the curious variety drama’ whicn consti- ted the bulk of the entertainments. The term variety” conveys to many people an impres- sion of Something vulgar and improper, and de- ters them from pai of an enjoyment which is certainly as innocuous aschalk and wa- ter. By changing the name and calling them “Tourists,” or something equally vague, Mr. Smith and Messrs. Jarrett & Rice have enlight- ene those who have hitherto labored under a misapprehension as to what a good variety show realy is, LOCAL NOTES. “The Touriste” will travel on Haverly’s stage Yor another week.

Methinks it fain would downward bend Into the wave below; And yet it fain would strive and rise Into the evening glow. ‘The winds, the waves upon the sea, Sang they a blithesome song? And didst thou hear from those high halls A feasting, joyous throng? ‘Tho winds, the waves, to rest bad gone— ‘They sluinbered quictly— While from tho halls a dirge I heard: ‘My tears flowed silently. And, walking near the castle grand, Saw you the King and Queen— ‘The crimson of their dowing robes— Their crowns’ resplendent gleam? And did they not with rapture lead A maiden wondrous fair— So henteous, methinks the sun Was prisoned in her hair? Alas! I saw tho parents there Without their dindem; They wore the sombre robes of grief— The muid walked not with them. Osweao, N. Y. : —————__ Munificent Benefactions. New York Tribune, April 7.

A French engraver named Payod claims to have discovered the meas of conveying large quantities of electricity over long distances, and istributing it at any number of points on the way, exactly like gas or water.
