The Alcazar’'s production never was intended to be as funny as it is—it couldn’t have been. Much was hoped for in Mr. Paulding, but no one could have foretold the exorbitant delight | that was to be got from him in thei part of “Auntie.” His clinging, emo- | tional nature, his wild eye, and his most soprano wail are given full vent in the extravagances of this part, and, although I never w Mr. Paulding in the role of Romeo, I will take oath that th the funniest thing of his life. ral of my colleagues, I notice, are g Mr. Paulding to modify his T Heed them not, Mr. Paulding; modification would spell your ruin.

New York the row over “The Tree of Knowledge” continues, and Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater flourishes like a green bay. Aiming point blank at William Winter, the se- verest denouncer of Mr. Carton’s play, the Herald says that from the tone of some of the tearful remarks that have been dropped into the columns of the newspapers in connection with the ee of Knowledge,” at the Lyceum, it would seem that somé old gentle- man who wandered into that play- house last Monday evening must have In his Fourth Avenue house. The Herald says that “The Tree of Knowledge” is not intended for kin- dergarten consumption, and that the stage has the same privilege as the pulpit to discuss and lay bare social errors and human frailties to which men and women are prone. Dignified Mr. Sethmar of the Times writes that no one but a fool or a libi- dinous weakling ever called “Othello” cr “Measure for Measure” immoral, and only such persons could seriously Mr. Carton's play as immoral. ts, to be sure, not very frankly, but with a strong sense of pictorial effect and considerable emphasis, of fe- male depravity and the evil influence a wanton woman, and it is offered s entertainment for old and young. In conclusion, Mr. Sethmar says: “I have frequently expressed my sympathy with those ministers of the gospel who, holding earnestly that man’'s sole duty on earth is to prepare for the hereaffer by repentance, hu- mility, self-denial and good deeds, have cried out against the theater. I warmly uphold the course of parents who, desiring their children to know as little as possible of sin and passion, keep them away from the playhouse. But this is apart from the question. Habitual theatergoers will find noth- ing indecent in Mr. Carton’s play.” In London Ferdinand Gottschalk du- plicated his American success in vever Again.” He has just sailed to rejoin the American company at New York. It.is declared that Fanny Davenport, not certain as to the reception that awaits her forthcoming production of original character in “The Heart of Maryland” when the play is produced at the Adelphi, London. Santa Cruz, the guardian and flance of Dolores, is extremely jealous of her un- known admirer, whom he has deter- mined by means of a serenade. He has Dolores taken to a castle in the moun- tains, but the barytone follows the party and is ensconced in the household disguised as a cook. A broken-down tenor and a stage-struck tailor who have been indulging in the self-same serenade are captured by the Duke's minions, and he, mistaking the’tenor for Alvarado, has him placed in dur- ance vile. The appearance of the tenor in the tower frightens the natives and an attack by brigands adds to the gen- eral excitement. Haunted by the sere- nade the Duke has his ward conveyed to the convent of St. Ursula, which ad- joins the grounds of a monastery. In the meantime, Alvarado, fleeing from a former admirer, Yvonne, a dan- seuse, seeks refuge in the monastery, and by a stratagem scales the walls and discovers that Dolores is in the ad- joining garden. The Duke, appearing on the scene again, is driven te a fren- zy by hearing the monks singing the serenade, and with a detachment of the guard breaks into the monastery, where Dolores has retreated, disguised as a boy. Many ludicrous complications follow, ending, of course, in the happy manner usual to comic opera. Acts first and second are the same in scene and depict & mountainous region in Spain, the home of the “Royal Mad- rid Brigandage Association, Limited,” with the haunted castle in the (fore- ground and the moonlit Sierras in the background. There are glimpses of dark ravines, the gurgle of swift, rushing mountain streams, the bivouacs of brigands and the harvest festival of the peasantry. Among the principal scenes o0 o0 of “The Conquerors” from Sardou’s “La Haine,” calls attention to the fact that similar charges were made against Sardou in reference to “La Haine,” and that the French playwright re- marked in reply that “dramatic art consists less in the choice of subject thar the original treatment by which the subject is rejuvenated, and that there were never two dramatic works of which criticism could s_.y that they sprang fully armed from their author’s bll::m& and owed nothing to anybody else. That Yngenuous mixture of “The Rivals,” “The Love Chase,” “Lon- don Assurance” and several other old comedies which Eugene Presbrey was pleased to call “A Virginia Ccurtship” and an original play by himself when William H. Crane first produced it here at the Baldwin, has been presented in New York, with the following belated statement on the programme: “Evolving the scenes and incidents around which ‘A Virginia Courtship’ is built, the author has humbly tried to follow the models and in some respects has copied the personages made famil- iar in the old comedies, which are des- tined to live and be popular as long as the English language is spoken.” Pinero’s new comedy, ‘‘Trewlawney of the Wells,” has been favorably re- ceived at the Court Theater, London. The action of the play is laid in the early sixties, and it is notable that the fashion in dress at that period has been strictly adhered to. The story tells of the infatuation of a young sprig of the nobility for a popular actress of the period, the former having proposed | is that which shows the entrance of the and been accepted. He tells of the en- | brigands, led by Mr. Cowles, the bri- gagement to his noble father, who, hav- | gand chief Romero, who tells of their MAUDE ALLISON. PHILIP CALVERT.

The actress con- sents to the agreement, and she is soon an honored guest in the family circle of her betrothed. For the first few days the change of life and the convention- alities and usages of society prove a novelty and surprise to her, but the longing for her former companionship and the more or less free-and-easy life, with its unconventional manners, soon makes itself manifest. She becomes restless and irritable, and her fiance see! to fathom her trouble. She re- ally loves the young man and tries to overcome her desire to return to her old bohemian life. Do what she will, she cannot overcome it, and at last | tells her lover that she could not be happy in society with all its environ- ments, and the engagement is broken. | Miss Minnie Seligman-Cutting, after an absence of three years from the stage, made her debut in vaudeville at Proctor’'s Twenty-third Street Thea- ter last Monday in W. S. Gilbert's one- act drama, “Comedy and Tragedy,” with a supporting company of fifteen, | including Richard Ganthony and J. Lester Wallack. The latter is a grand- son of the famous actor of that name. Maurice Barrymore will appear in his adventures and free life, “The Song of | the Carbine.” Following the brigand scene charac- | teristic music prepares the way for the | approach of the Duke (Mr. Barnabee). | the postilion (Mr. MacDonald) and Do- | lores (Jessie Bartlett Davis), who, sur- rounded by the retainers at the castle, | tell of their tribulations and hard | travel. The Introduction later of a | comic trio in whichappearastagestruck | tailor (Mr. Frothingham) a broken- | down tenor (Mr. Brown) and his daughter, Yvonne (Alice Nielsen) re- veals the little comedy and counter plot which is one of the main incidents of the opera. The incarceration of the | tenor and his subsequent appearance | in the tower of the haunted castle, drunk and attired as Mephistopheles. brings on a concourse of peasants, who, fleeing from the brigands and ter- | rified by an approaching thunderstorm, | form a lively picture. The_ production is satd to be one of | the most costly and artistic ever given | by the Bostonians. “Robin Hood” will follow later in the engagement, and the final offering will | be the new version of ‘“‘Rip Van Winkle.” California.

The farce is a good one, most happily free of vul- garity and smoothly and legitimately constricted; and the company which Mr. Clark has banded for its production could hardly be better. The engage- ment is for all of this week, after which the new star will begin his road sea- gon at Denver, touring toward San Francisco.

Leary will be Nockeye, hiscompanion in fun, and Arthur Donaldson the Othello-like rajah. The cast will also include Edith Hall, as the Pasha’s lively daughter Sere- na; Florence Wolcott, as the ideal Queen of Altara, Alti; Tillie Salinger, as Balah Sojah, her warlike step- mother; Phil Branson, as the Pasha; John J. Raffael, the gallant young lover, Hassen Bey, and Arthur Boyce, the adventurous Mexican, Terano. | | Morosco's. Harry Mainhall will open his second week at Morosco’'s as Colonel Kerchi- val West, in Bronson Howard's war drama, ‘“Shenandoah,” which part should furnish him a first-rate vehicle for his melodramatic powers. “Shen- andoah,” at Morosco prices, should prove a big drawing card. A number of new people have been added to the cast, and the management promise an elaborate presentation on the big stage, especially of the scene overlooking the Shenandoah Valley, during the rout of the Union army, where the signaling is done and Sheridan sweeps by on his black horse, rallying the retreating stragglers. Among. the new additions to the company are A. L. Willard, Ben- jamin Hanlon, Lela Maye, Lulu Oro and Queenie Purcell, the latter taking the place of soubrette Mamie Holden.

The last of Anton Schott’s song recit- als takes place at the Association Audi- torium on Friday evening.
