- 16 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES THE THEATRES. That New Circus Ordinance-A Protest from Managers. Coming Events—Manager Palmer on “The Banker’s Daughter.” THE NEW CIRCUS ORDINANCE. The following city ordinance is now under consideration by the Committee on Revision, recently appointed by the Common Council: For entertainments of the third clase the fol- towing sums: For each circue, or circus and me- pagerie, $250 for each performance; for each menagerie, $200 for each exhibition; for each Hde-sbow with any circus or menagerie, $50 for tach and every day of exhibition; for each con- pert, musical, or minstrel entertafoment given moder a covering of canvas, €25 foreach per Tormance. ‘ ‘The possibility of the passage of this ordi- nance has raised a wail of Indignation among the circus managers throughout the country. -We are in receipt of a number of Jetters from these managers, among others one from the Hon. Joel Warner, the Super- intendent of Barnum’s shows, who thinks that the passage of such an ordinance will be a serious detriment to thecity. “We intended,” he says, “to visit Chicago with -Connell, Mark Eihel Delmont, our shows, but if this ordinance should b e passed it will certainly amountto a prohibi- tion of all tent-shows, and will deprive Chicago of thousands of dollars annually left there by traveling circuses. No circus ever visits Chicago ‘without leaving all the money they take in, and often more. The employés always save their earnings until they reach a large city, and then they draw thelr money and spend it in clothing, jewelry, etc. The shows always repair and refit during a week’s stay. We of course make money ina place like Chicago if the weather is favorable. but again, I say, we Jeave it all in the city distributed among bill-posters, priuters, newspapers, mechanics, and shopkeepers. We have always made Chicago a central point for supplies between: New York and San Francisco, but, if we are debarred fro coming there, we shall change ourdepotto St.Louis. Boston charges $2 Ji- eense for one week foracircusand menagerie, Philadelphia $25 for one week, and it seems io me that Chicago can as well afford to be tiberal in such matters. I really hope the ood sense of the Chicago Council will come & the surface in this matter and uot allow a tew prejudiced mien to combine in passing such an ordinance.” Mr. R. S, Dingess says be has spoken with several circus managers, and they are unanimous in saying that 4 will have to pass the city rather than submit to any fancy prices. He maintains that cir- cus receipts are exaggerated, and they could not afford to pay apy such license. Mr. Charles Stowe, on_behalf of Sells’ circus, also protests, and W. R. Hayden, the theat- tical and circus manager, says substantially what the others say: that the propused license is preposterous, and no‘show could stand it. - There is a very simple way of getting over the difficulty. the license is too hign,— more than the managers can_afford:to pay,— then letthe circus men raise their prices while in this city in order to meet the in- creased tax if such an ordinance asthe above should be passed. DRAMATIC NOTES. The yererable manager, Rullman, is in the city. Mr. Marcus Meyer is here in the interest of Bernhardt. ‘The Soldene troupe, itis rumored, has been disbanded. Campbell’s “My Partner” has been a great hit in Australia. Nat Goodwin and his ‘ Froliques” are un- derlined for the 3d at Hooley’s. No dramatic attraction in the city during the past week calls for serious consideration. Baker and Farron have arrived from En- flane. They opened in Troy on Friday The sale of seats for the Bernhardt en- gagement at McVicker’s will be opened to- morrow. “ Fun on the Bristol’’ will be given for one week longer at Hooley’s. ‘Che piece is finely set on the stage. John. MeCullongty, it is said, sent Miss Ellen Tracy, who is now in this city, a Christ- mas present in the shape of $1,100. “The Black Demon” will be the name of the drama at Fox’s Theatre. The variety bill will include Miss Ada Adair and the Sheridan brothers. ‘The Maud Granger “Two Nightsin Rome” company is represented by Mr. Tracy Titus, who is in the city. The piece will be seen at Mc Vicker’s on Jan. 3. Josh Billmgs, the popular lecturer, will ive the third entertainment of the Star ture Course in the Central Music-Hall on. next Wednesday evening. ‘The latest improvements in theatrical architecture are ladies’ cafés and tea-rooms, in order to permit the fair sex the luxury of going out between the acts. 3 All the parlors of the Palmer House have, we are told, been engaged for Mie. Bern- hardt. They will be refitted by Potter Palmer for the reception of the distinguished French ‘Woman. ~ Milton Nobles opens at the Olympic to- morrow night. Frank Frayne, as ‘St Slocum, wiil wind up his engagement to-night, which. has been rather a light one in point of at- tendance, “The Galley Slave” will be seen at Haver- ly’s in the week beginning the 3d of Janu- ary. The performances, we believe. wiil be to a certain extent forthe benefit of the Sixth Regiment, Minnie Palmer will this evening’ depart from the Grand Opera-House with her bad piece, “The Boarding-School.” We are appy to be able to state that the little lady das a new play in rehearsal. ‘We are in receipt of a number of letters upon the subject of Sara Bernhardt. They touch upon the private character of that actress. Life is too shortto prolong this dis- Cussion, and space is too valuable. - A dramatic manager writi from the South says: Ais rant eines or Keene, and Fanny Davenport have been doing im- tense business at raised prices. The small fbynieht? troupes are counting railroad ‘The Rice company now at Hayerly’s will to-morrow evening appear in a reconstructed Yersion of “Evangline.” “Calino,” the w piece upon which they have been wast- rat ee energies, may put down asa Miss Clara Morris is credited with sayiri the other day to an interviewer, who aske her by what process she did Something in = Arg at tigre oe talked with a amv consequi idn’ Tealty know. eas dee Fred A.

On the coyer we find the following indorsemeni: “The only cor- rect version of my plays, translated from my Prompt-books. This should, we suppose, seitle their superiority over every other yer- lon. The new Academy of Music, which opened last Monday evening, has turned hundreds away every night. This evening “Neck and Neck” will be seen for the last Ume, and the drama for the coming week will “Es- caped from Sing Sing,” in which Mr. C. W.

To-morrow evening he will change his program entirely. His entertainment is not only amusing to the general public, but interesting to people of a scientific turn of mind. ‘The Onofri Broth- ers for their dancing have won the good will of the audience. “They are clever. The Lorellas and Val Vos to those who attend this kind ‘of performance supply amusing features. The “ Cinderella” troupe, under the man- agement of Henry C. Jarrett, will be at the Grand Opera-House to-morrow afternoon, When a matinée will be given. Invitation to be present has been extended to all the pro- fessional people in town. ‘There will also be matinées every afternoon during the coming Week ue cast, ef the fairy ee will em- r, Lizzy Kelsey, Miss Annie Shatter, Miss Elma Delaro, Miss Jennie Hughes, Lit iany Lloyd, Charles Bright, Leonard Saville, and Arthur German. There will also be in- troduced a specialty troupe, including Miss Lizzie Simms, Little Katie Seymour, and the “Great Parisian Troupe.” 2 The following remarkably just tribute to Salvini is from the pen of W. Winter, Esa.: * All persons who eare for acting should see Salvini, and, if possible, in every part that he ate He may not invariably satisfy our English ideals; he possesses Shakspeare only in translation; but he is an overwhelm- ing power asan actor—a prodigy of faculty to execute the behests of the soul—and his art is imperial and sumptuous, beyouid rival- ry or dispute.” Nym Crinkle says of “My Geraldine”: “There are touches of genuine pathos in it, and there are bits of genuine humor, but the principal effect arrived at is one of the situa- tions, and no playwright ever aimed at that ex- clusively and made a play in a literary sense. Its workmanship is compact, symn- metrical. cohesive, and climactric. “Indeed, Ithink Bartley Campbeil is at this moment the best artificer of plays wo have.” . John B. Gough, who has not been in Chi- cago for three years, will be here early next Dron with pwo aes, lectures, * Plater Experiences,” and “Twenty Years ar, whieh he will deliver in Central Union Hall, Friday and Saturday evenings, Jan. 7 and 8, under the auspices of Company H, First Regiment. Tickets, 50 cents, including re- served seats, Sale of tickets will commence at Jansen, McClurg & Co.’s to-morrow morning. : z The Christmas number of the New York Mirror is everything that the publishers promised it would be. There are in it sixteen pages of interesting reading matter. ‘There are sketches and poems by various well-known journalists, actors, and actresses, among the names at the head of these contributions be- ing Stephen Fiske, Sydney Cowell, Ro berta Norwood, Ettie Henderson, Marion Booth, Townsend Perey. Mary Fiske, Charles H. Patee, and H. W. Montgomery. Mr. and Mr.Florence concluded their en- gagement.at the'Gaiety Theatre on Saturday night (27th ult.). The house was crowded by a most enthusiastic auttience, and the popu- Jar artists were called repeatedly before the curtain. Mr. Florence atthe end made the following speech: “Ladies and gentlemen: In America it is usual, at the conclusion of an engagement, for the artist to speak a few words of thankfulness to the ladies and gen- tlemen who have honored him with their patronage. I fancy this custom obtains here; at all events I feel it a matter of pleasure and pride to be permitted to stand before you to-night. lam pleased to see so brilliant an audience; and proud of the result of our season of eighty nights. Tris beautiful theatre has been crowded to witness our en- tertainment. Believe me, Jadies and gentle- men, Mrs, Florence and myself fee) deeply feet for your kindness, and will carry ack to America the warmest remembrance of your true British hospitality.” Mr. and Mrs. Florence remain at the Gaiety till Christ- mas, and then go_to Rome and Southern italy, returning to London in March; to open in anew play. In the current number of Nym Crinkle’s Teliable Feuilleton appears a lengthy letter signed by Manager Palmer, in which he says, after setting forth the reasons why he paid Mr. Boucicault $25,000 for * Led Astray ”: “if you will afford me the space I would like to avail myself of the opportunity to do Mr. Cazauran justice in a matter about which, Ithink, he has_a right to feel sore. \Vhen the ‘Banker’s Daughter’ was pro- duced in England, Mr. Alberry’s name was aflixed to it by Mr. Bronson Howard as his collaborateur. Now, in the real sense of that word, it can be applied only to Mr. Cazauran, for, save the comedy rdles, he recast, re- wrote, reconstructed the whole play. The last two acts are wholly his creation, pre- sel only comedy of Mr. Howard. ‘The penultimate act is entirely his. While Howard’s name alone appeared he kept quiet enough, but after Mr. Alberry put his name to his work, he lost temper, and insisted 1 should do him justice. do so now, when say that the chief thing the English pa- pers praised in the play was what he put into it, I have had from his pen our adapta- tions of ‘Miss Multon,’? whose value you know: ‘The last act of that play is also wholly his. Besides ‘Miss Multon,’ ‘The Mother’s Secret,’ ‘The Man of Success,’ *The Celebrated Case,’ in which he practical- ly worked out the part of "Rourke, , dother and Son,’ “The Banker’s Daughter, ‘Lost Children,’ ‘French Flats,’ ‘Daniel Rochat.? Except ‘Lost Children,’ each of these adaptations proved more or less suc- cessful. Iought here to state that for not one of them did he ever receive $25,000, and Imay add he never will receive from moe such asum for any future work, nor will anybody else ever again get the terms you seem to censtire me for having paid. At the same time Imust say I do not understand what sort of esprit de corps it is that exists among you gentlemen of the quill that you growl at a manager or an editor for paying one of you too well.” — CARL PRETZEL’S RIDE.
