Willard delighted a large audi- ence at the Lafayette Square Theater last night with his performance of “Tom Pinch.” It would have been well wort! while if the actor and company had done no more than costume the characters which have become so familiar and presented scenes from the story. But, without mak- ing any attempt to dramatize ‘Martin Chuzzlewit,”” a very entertaining comedy has been arranged. Mr. Willard’s art is notable for delicate elaboration of detail, and, light as the story is, it is unfolded so unassumingly and so candidly sub- fiated to the im ance of the chi - themselves that the audience seemed uteful for being the duty of ad- a playwright’s ingenuity and orig- y and being permitted to revel in the society of old friends. Some of them, it is true, were absent. The evil nature of Jonas Chuzzlewit does not bring into contrast the gentle worth of Tom Pinch it does in the book, nor do the bibulous unction of Sairy Gamp and the elegance ot Mr. Montague Tigg appear upon the stage as they are half expected to do when Tom Pinch is mentioned. But it is too much to hope for a reunion without some absentees, and it is something to be able to pas ing with the airy hypocrisy of BP he artful prattle of “Merry” and the eccentric but hone moods of old tin, the sometimes over- confident seif-esteem of his son, the opti- mism of Mark Tapley and, of all, with the sweet, self-effacing heroism of Tom Pinch. E now gf M over: and then a critic ventures rtion that Charles Dickens does serve the adulation which his ad- mirers bestow with such lavish affection. Indictments of his style and method are drawn up with so much knowledge and sued with so much skill that the reader to keep his mind open to con- viction is half convinced that the seeming success of the struggling shorthand writer who wrote and hoped while his child-wife sat the glare of the study lamp and held the pens, was after all only failure, and that a fondness for the people whom he imagined so vididly is something that the mature mind ought to relegate to the his dance prog! his lan- tinted neckties and the other ac- compauiments of adolescer But some- how Dickens’ productions survive every practical test. His books are handed from the shelves cf the shop, while more mod- ern volumes linger, and the public as- sembles to testify its delight when an en- tertainment such as Mr. Willard has pre- pared is offered. Mr. Wi done cellence of this offering may pass without comment as a matter of course.

WARD AND VOKES.-——-Commencing Mon- day evening, Ward and Vokes and cheir big troupe of farce comedy authorities will be seen at the Columbia Theater, the en- gBagement being for one week, with the usual iatinees Thursday and’ Saturday. These unique comedians come to us this time under the most favorable auspices— a new play, a new company, new scenery, new costumes, and everything bright and fresh for the present theatrical year. ‘The which is the name of the new play, is simply a handle for an evening full of that popular kind of fun which have made Ward and Vokes famous in all Amer- ican cities. The new play is the combined work of “Happy” Ward and Fred S. Gibbs. It is a light satire on gold mining and wo- man suffrage. The excellence of the pro- duction, hewever, Hes in the unusual size and quality of the supporting company, thirty-two people being presented, promi- rent among them being Lucy Daly, that little dancing will 0’ the wisp, whose ef- January 11, Mr. Thos.

Gus. C. Wein- berg, John Keefe, Hal 8. Stephens, James Cherry, the Troubadour Four and other fa- vorites g0 to meke up the full strength of the company. “THE WOMAN IN BLACK. “The Wo- man in Black” will bé presented at the Grand Opera House, Monday, Jan. 17, with usual matineées. It is announced as Jacob Litt's production. Its story is described as a romantic one, with a strong human interest, well told ‘and cleverly construct- ed. It skims along the edge of politics, siving the audience just enough to inter- est without boring them. Each act con- cludes with a powerful climax. The author has attempted to portray certain phases of metropolitan life in a truthful manner, and to that end has reproduced one or two sensational scenes, which it is promised will attract more than ordinary attention. The scenery has been gotten up by John H. Young, the scenic artist_of the Broad- way Theater, New York, and a picturesque production of unusual magnitude {s as- sured. Whatever may be said of the play, there will be no fault found with the man- ner in which it is staged or played. Mr. Litt's liberality in this respect is. well known to play-goers. He has yet to give ® poor or cheap production. The names of the members of the company speak for themselves. “THE RISING GENERATION.”—“The Rising Generation” will be presented at the Academy by that favorite comedian Wm. Barry. Mr. Barry's right to be clas: ed among the most prominent comedians as established long ago. His latest pla: he Rising Generation,” is by far a more legitimate comedy than ‘“Muldoon’s Pic- nie” 's Fiirtation,” in which he divided honors with Hugh Fay. It is less farcial, ond there are many who com- mend Mr. Barry for choosing a play which does not go beyond the bounds of proba- bility. In “The Rising Generation” Martin McShane has rene of MeKenna's ridicu- lous troubles.
