THE STAGE Suecess of the Low-Price Drama at the Grand. The Nimble Vokeses Capering to Packed Houses at McVicker’s, Mulhooley and Mulligan on the Stage at Hooley’s. Attractions This Week—“ Belles of the Kitchen” and More Mulligans. DPrematic Jottings All Around the Circuit—New Plays and Old ; Actors. LOW PRICES AT THE GRAND. Mr. Jay Rial bas been making an interesting experiment at the Grand Opera-House, not that the production of *Unele Tom’s Cabin” under onlinury Circumstances could be eatied either interesting. or experimental, but because there pave been some unusual circumstances con- neeted with its production, First, the prices of admission have been very much reduced; and, qecondly,a distinct and successful appeal bas pecn made for the patronage of church prople and non-thestre-oers,—of all classes. When Mr. Ri any was here hist it played at Haverly’s Theatre. The regular prices of ad- mission Were charged, and the attendance was veygariy. Lust week the prices were halved, andthe attendance was only limited by the capacity oi the house. It is probable that the re- cell tthe reduced rates were double those realized at Haveriy’s on the old seale of prices, to accomplish which there must have been four time: many persons in attendance. Froma pecuniary point of view the experiment must be adjudged successful. There could be no ad- vantage in piayiag to poor houses at rezular rates for the name of the thing anu for *siyl which Mr, lal did not enjoy in playing to large audiences at half price. _ The experiment shows, moreover, that there will before long be room in Chicago for a low- price theatre, where the best uttritctions can be olfered at balf the ordinary terms ef admission. There does uot happen tobe in Chicago at pres- ent a birding exactly suited tor the purpose. leVieker’s Huverly’s must be for many youre strictly first-class inevery respect, includ- ing price; and it should be said that the terms offered by them in view of the quality of enter- tiinment they provide, and in comparison with those of firs! s theatres in the East, are tow. The Grand Opera-House and IHooley's are not laree enough to make the trial on the best terms. The Grand Opera-House in New York and Hooth’s Theatre, where the plain was intro- auced, bave immense auditoriums, and if they are filled at half rates any manager can get a prot ont of the house. The big low-price theatre is_ probably yet to be built for Chicago. The auditorium which — Hav- erly has just abandoned would have been admirably adapted for the purpose. But as the critics are those who have failed in literature and art. §0 the low-price theatres ‘are usually those ica bave failed in the eudeavor to be nigh- priced. We must depend on the folly of some- body (who shall try to set theatrical altairs atime by buildinga great barn of # place like Booth's) for the vpportunity thut is wanted. day Riat’s engagement was interesting, in the second place, us we have sttid. for the effort de to bring out non-theatresgoers, and for the success of thatetfort. There is a lure class of persons in a great city like Chicago who juston the verge of “Puritanism. They do not go to the theatre at all. or they xo so sel- dom that they soothe their conscience with the belief that their sin is a very little one. Besides those who hold off for 2 point of principle, there are those who have little or no taste for’ play- acting, and prefer cither coarser or tier amusements. Great furoads were made upon both of these classes by “Pinafore. and the. classof comic operas which followed it. Some Were amazed to tind that there was such a commodity as inuncent mirth occasion- ally purveyed on the stare, and others that tere might be truer ang better * fun " in a decently- elad burlesque than in the whole range of prurient extravagances. The drafts made upon both these classes are increasing in size in geometrical ratio. Uncle ‘Tom's Cabin” has always bad a special claim upon their favor. has been popularly supposed to havea “moral and tor many vers wortby people morals are the most appetzing bait that a manager ‘can throw out. There {5 aiways something amusing in the eager and jutense expression of un Uncie To's Cabin audience. So many people pecring down into the abyss of slavery, where were sunk the lives of a million of the ‘truest and bravest men this country or the world bas ever scen, could not but see there something to tix the attention. Indeed, be must be an unthinking inan who, looking at * Uncle Tom” ugainatter the lapse of a few years, does not tind in the representation much food for reflection. There are words ‘and ideas in the old play which will have the power to create a momentary thrill. “We need pot fancy Legree, nor be impressed by the coarse buffoonery of the funny man, to find a lesson there. ‘The touchstone of the play is the tragic insensibility. of the poor blacks to their own misery and degradation. That used to be pleud- ed as A reason for continuing slavery: we now perceive that it was a convinemg argument for emancipation. It was bad enough that men should be slaves ina land of freedom: it was horrible that they should be contented in their slavery. “Uncle ‘Lon on the stage, shows that side of the slavery question, as well 13 tbe other, and it teaches, perhaps, 2. more powerful lesson in the gueyties of the plantation hands than in the misery of Uncle Tom's own lit Of the play itself.or the particular version presented by Jay Rial’s company. uot much that is good cnn be said. Itis scarcely a play at all. It ig rather a series of historical tableaux. The performance is n good one as far as it oes—a2 trifle too _ realistic rhaps, with its real bloodbounds and live don- keys, but still captivating in its way to the young and inexperienced. The jubilee elngers dd very mucb to the interest of the represen- tation. They ure not imitations of plantation hands, but the real thing; and nether their sin: ing nor their dancing is so fanciful as to destroy ‘the illusion of the drama. Altogether it is a meritorious. production, though by no means great in a dramutic sense: and it deserves the full measure of success that it is likely to enjoy throughout the country t THE NIMBLE VOKESES Rave been delighting Jarge audiences at Me- Vicker's Theatre during the past weck, and they will continue for another week to produce “Cousin Joc” and “ The Belles of the Kitchen.” Criticiem may exhaust itself on the Vokescs, if criticism has nothing better to do, and so may naturalists analyze a butterily’s wing, or chem- Ists distill the dewdrop on arose. But the peo- ple are not going to be Kept from their sport by anything the criticusters may say. And, after all is suid end donc, the Vokes Family have the merit of being pointed in tho right direction. They do nobody any harm, and they do delight, with their innocent zambols, thou- sands of weary men and women who need to be diverted. It woutd seem to bean easy matter to have a little better singing and alittle better dancing, a little more consistency to the grucl, anda little more deftness in the ladling-out of the same; but the Vekeses propose otherwise, and the people azree. Then whose business is it besides?

So far a interest is concerned you have sueeceded, for your excellent articles on the subject have been widely read and frequently copied. You have now to direct this interest. and convert it into enlightened action. If a wort from ineean help on your noble work 1 shall be glad. Lhave no doubt of your ultimate complete su y ‘The time is ripe for this new departure in education. Long rience has shown th our American schools, excellent as they hav been and still are in many respects, are one sided and defective, a st for large clties. Jn rural districts the need is less urgent; but ina city like Chicago or St. Louis nothing can secure for the children of toalay a fair chance in the world but A REFORM IN EDUCATION. Repeatedly iny attention has been ealied tothe fact that our best men are not eity- born. With frequent exceptions (which gen- erally admit of ciear and ¢asy explanation) the chances are_in favor of the country boy. leannet now discuss the eauses of this. I inust content myself with saying that the question is not one of pure air, nor whole- some food, nor good teachers, nor evil com- munications, so much as it is the proper balance of intelectual and physieal training. In the country, a boy's time is about equally divided between school (not always. under the best teaehers) and intel- ligent) manual labor. In the city, as a rule, a boy attends school nine or ten months and is idle the rest of the year. Even his games ars narrow and of little physical value, for his playground is the public street. (L should like to say exactly what I think of a vity which has scores of publie parks and public grounds, and yet not a single square where boys are at liberty to play ball or cricket, foot-ball or eruquer!) Recognizing our POVERTY ON THE MANUAL SIDE, we have hitherto endeavored to make up for the deficiency in the mnual elements by adding to the intellectual pabulum. ‘The re- sult is an unhealthy, unbalanced develop- ment. +:nother reason why it is necessary to in- corporate manual training into our systent of cducation is that opportunities for learn- ing the use of touls, outside of schools, are fast disappearing. One of our leading pi ticalmen said to me last week: “The trades arervunning out. Through the iniluence of ‘Yrades-Cnions the number of apprentices does not make good the simul fuss, and skilled inechanics are becoming less and less in number. 1 see no way of fostering our manufactorics, and of giving our beys a chanee to acquire mechanical skill except through manual training schools.” This mnan has proved his faith by his deed, for he has one son in the school to-day, and nas two enrolled for next year. And hais right. ‘Too often the apprentice has a dog's life, and boys shrink from ft. Some people suppose that the peculiar trials, privations, discour- agements, and bard-knocks of an apprentice are necessary mgredients in the educanon of aworkman. Nothing could be farther trom the truth. Under such a regime the greater part of what he learns he would be better off without. One might as wel! assert that the proper way to rear a good shade tree is to let the boys break off the branches, and club it; to let the horses gnaw it; and finally to let the wind break off the top: or maintain s, recording to Charles Lamb, the Chinese did tor centuries, that the true way to roast por is to let the fated pig smother and cook amid the smoldering embers uf the owner's house. Inthe march of the grand army of prog- ress the column of old-time apprentices and narrowly-trained mechanics is growing thin- ner. It becomes us to RECRUIT, ORGANIZE, AND DRILE to-day the new-fime mechanics whom the world will need to-morrow, ‘The journey- nen of to-day are not draughtsmen, and their knowledge of tools is limited to those of a single craft, often to a part ofacraft. ‘Lhe mechanic of the future must know how to draw, as Well as to work froma drawing; he must have a liberal knowledge of tovls, and he must understand the principles of mechan- Jes and their application to machinery.

The purpose of the school is tu cevelop, to educate, sts weil as to train.—to bring out into clear retief those very uptitudes which ought to control the destiny of the boy What we complain of in ordinary schools {5 that they tre one-sided,—that, they draw or drive away from mechanical pursuits without ecard to fitness. Many of our pupils will go forward through the ligher course in letters or in engineering. No check is to be pied upon them. An increasing number will beyond question be drawn to mecbauieal pur- suits. HM every one makes a wise choice T shall be etisticd; J am «anxious only for them to choose rizht. If the schoul (which aims impi tinliy to be a mentul, and moral, and mao- ual training-school) should serve no other end put that of enubling u pirent to decide what he should do with bis son, it would still be worth all it has cost. r, You know how often a life is a fa defective or faulty education.
