There are some heavy rolesin the play, obut they ace nearly ail in the hands of the men, as the interes: lies largely in ibe war story. Edwin Stevens improved . the shining hour when calied on for a speech on Mon- day night by reminding his hearers how much the Tivoli management was giving | them for tbeir money: “You would ap- preciate such a 50-cent show in the East because you could not get it,” he said. Really when one ponders over these words it is bard to imagine how such a pro- gramme can be given with much margin the management. Gustav Hinrichs, a chet d’orchestre of National reputation, is conducting a big and ex- pensive orchestra. Edwin Stevens is a well-known star. Although not a one-star opera—and for the matier of that it is not being played in a one-star way—Thomas C. Leaiy as the keeper of the royal elephant gives Stevensa race for honors, and 1! William H. West were a visitor inustead of a permanent resident e would get a great deal more recogni- tion than le is receiving for his spirited impersonation of the bibulous old instrue: tor of the Siamese troops. Elvia Crox Seabrooke was the original Marte in “Wang,” and her singing of “No Rose Without a Thorn" was, ana stll is, one of the pl “Wang" is | n the score. Sweet-voiced Myra Morella if strictly “in it,”” and so are Helen Har- rington, Irma Fitch, Jennie Stockmeyer and the rest of the women in the cast. The staging and costuming of “Wang'’ are good; new topical verses have been added, and, taken altogecher, it would be | bard for even & carping critic to find any- thing much to say against the opening of the T1voli’s light opera season. Sir Henry Irving has been drawing cburch and state together with a vi geance lately. The chapter-house of Can- | terbury Cathedral was recently restored, and as it was in Canterbury that Gilbert a Becket, the Arcnbishop, was murdered the Dean thought it would be a very ap- propriate and graceful thing to inaugur- ate the chapter-house with a reading of “Beckel’ Ly the famous modern imper- n- sopator of the part.

On the same day with | the Prince was born, according to the play, Georce Carteret, the son of a county baronet.

Foth men love the same woman, the com- moner honestly and the Prince asa pass- ing caprice.

For the fifth week of their engagement the Frawley Company will, to-morrow evening, present “A Scc.al Highway- man,”’ made famous by E. ) nd Joseph Holland. The play was dramatized by Mary T. Stone from Elizabeth P. Train’ story. The central figure in the play is Courtice Jaffrey, & thief, moving in society, admired, popular, good-iooking, and, by all bui one strange woman, be- lieved honest. Jaffrey has i reality be- come a “social higuwayman,” and is th author of a series of boid crimes. He has stolen diamonds from a duchess whom his bandsome face has captured, and from a wicked Spanish lady, knowr as Senora Leila Cavrices. His pure love for a pretty, npright girl, Eiinor Burnham, first awakens his re- morse and then his penitence. Some uf the incidenis in the story border on the | meloaramatic, but the play was highly spoken of he critics when it was first produced in New York. Fourth of July week at the Columbia will be given up to comedy by the Fraw- ley Company. A revival of “The Great Unknown'’ and “The Two Escutcheons’ will be made in deference 10 many re- ’tluesls.

A couple of days before the read- ing the Prince of Wales had visited Can- | :ry, and to show appreciation for the prince of English actors the decorations were left intact to welcome Sir Henry. | Toward the end of the reading, whether accidentally or not, the strains of the great cathedral organ were heard vealing softly in the distance, as if, in the words of Fuzarse which Sir Henry had just quoted, there were *“‘thronging in to ves- pers half the town.” So profound wa the reality of the impression that fora moment time seemed many of those present, in imagination, leaped the chasm of 800 years and pic- | tured to themselves the tragedy so vividly told by the actor which had occurred within fifty yards of where they sat. The following description of 8ir Henry's | reception at Canterbury is given by a | well-known London writer: There were no vacant seats in the chapte house when the Dean rose to express in gio: ing terms his obligations for *“the conspicuous | service rendered” by the eminent acior, | | whose recding brought more than £200 to the restoration fund. sir Henry, who is ot to be | ouidone in eloquence by Dean Farrar himse | thanked bim for the -*sweet and gracious wel- come,”” and openiug his book, which was as Dbig as & church Bible, the service—I mean the rending—began.

At first the andience did not seem to know whether they ought to applaud or not, but we did tot il come in with holy orders, and the very venerable Dean, who kuows a good thing, set the example with his own very venerable hands. Yet it was all as decorous as decorous could be. | | | Marie EvEryw. Baldwin Theater.

Interest in the Chi- nese play bas not subsided and the audi- ences are still very large, so there is no telling what week will see the last of the un:que iittle drama. A professional mat- inee of “The First Born'’ will be given Thursday afternoon, July 1, commencing f at 3 o'clock. Grand Op;rajflous& A romance of Kentucky, a piay known as “Blue Grass,” is to be produced to- | morrow. What will give it an additonal interest is the fact that Maad Eine Hall created the principal part.of Mary Brand and starred in the original Fastern pro- duction of the viece, which won much success. Its author, Miron Leflingwell, knows the South. There is to be much new and picturesque scenery, and the cos- wuming will_make a feature. The cast is to include Virginia Jackson as a laugh- ing, ingenuous Southern girl; Lorena At- wood as a scheming but beautiful adven- | turess from “‘up North.” V.oia Alverti, who has played in most of our local theaters, is to make her first appearance in Morosco's stock company as an old colored “aunty.’” The cast also includes Mortimer Snow, Leslie Morosco, Landers Stevens, red Buuler, John J. Pierson and George Nichoils. veneath his ragged TJivoli Opera-House. The merry operetta “Wans,” with Ed- win Stevens in the role of the Regent, has scored a great success at the Tivoli Oper: house, and will be continued until further notice. The orchestra, under the direc- tion of Gustav Hinrichs, does excellent work. The next production will be the comedy opera, “The Isle of Champagne,’ which scored an enormous hit throughout the Easi. The book was written by Al- fred Byrne and Louis Harrison, and the music composed by the fovorite ex-leader of the Tiveli Opera-house, W. W. Furst. “The Isle of Chamypagne” has never yet been produced in this City. Orpheum Anniversary.

The opening at- traction will be Adgie, the dancing girl, and her troupe of trainea lions, waich aroused so much interest at the Orpheum. Twice uaily she will give her aangerous dances in the den with the lions, Prince and vicious Victoria and Trilby. Thean mals will be fed in full view of the au ence.

This is part of what she said: “The life of the theater is the least inteliectuslin the world. Once the part is learned the brain need work no more. The nerves, the sensibilities, the strug- s for emotion, they ere what color and what occupy the actor. It is for this reason in general there are so many siupid actors snd actresses; and wbo says ‘stupid’ oiten s “gross and immoral’ I have never, up to the present time, found a true friend in the theater.

The Supreme Court has reversed the | zction of the Superior Court ot 'this City | in the case of Max Wassermann against | Louis Sloss, the president of the Alaska | Commercial Company, and ordered the canse remanded for a new trial. The action was to recover 400 shares of | stock of the company that Wassermann cluimed Sloss held in trust, and to which Sloss set up tile as his own. The case was nonsuited, whereupon Was sermann appealed. The motion for a non- suit was based on several distinct points, but principaily upon the fourth, upon | which ihe nonsuit was granted. According to the facts presented the | Alaska Commercial Company was en- gaged in the sealing industry and held certain leases from the United States and | Russia which were about to expire, and which the company desired shouid be re- newed. vas engaged in efforts for their re- ss represented to Wassermann, | whbo heid 1400 sharesof stock, “‘that in order to obiain such new leases, or any or either of them, it would be necessary for him, the defendant, to be in such a posi- tion as to enabie him to interest certain persons high in authority and iofluence in tue respective undertakings and with the respective governments aforesaid; that allof ihe members of said company should be willing to make some sacrifices t0 that end; thatin order to pleca the defendant in a position in high authority and influ- ence,” etc., it would be necessary for him | (Sioss) to havea certain amountof the stock of the old company at his disposal. ssermann believed these statements transferred to Sloss the 400 shares of 10 be used for the purposes stated. | case was thoroughly argued as to the | stoc Thbe | controlling facter | days in the Coun; character of the contract entered into bee tween the parties, and Justice Garoutte, who gave the decision, said: As we view this whole question the good or bad woras of fhis underiaking is immaieria), for the reason taat ihe venture was in no sense executed and until executed both parties are given an opportunity for repentance and ssion. * * * Puttivg this case against plaintiff as bad as it may be imagined he nsferred his stock to defendant to be used in corrupting servants of the respective Gov- ernments.
