The neatness of construction, swift, spontaneous action and clever massing of the admirable ma- terial, mark Mr. Esmond as a little mas- | ter of dramatic craftsmanship, and the | play as one that should ‘be counted in heavily when the scarce good things of latter-day theatrical loot are remembered. How much Mr. Esmond owes to his in- terpreters it would be difficult to say. The playwright has not only the foremost American comedian in his service, but | also—peace, ladies—the most beautiful woman on the American stage. Neither is there a weak spot in the whole support- ing company, that looks after the various more or less onerous parts. with ample efficiency. A remarkable point in the per- formance is that the years (two) since its | first production, while adding noticeably | to its finish and ease, have not robbed it | of one jot'of freshness. It went with the | same vim and spontaneicy but without the jolts of a first night performance, and with all the smoothness and delightful | speed that time has given. Goodwin has a part that fits him like a new glove in the role of “Twenty-one's"” | guardian. His quiet, distinguished meth- | ods, pervading humor, a fine stripe of pa- | thos, effective man-of-the-worldliness, make the figure of Richard Carewe a bril- | liantly conspicuous ene in comedy por- trajture. Mr. Goodwin bears the London honors that lie so thick upon him with be- coming modesty, and responded with his familiar unassuming air to the hearty plaudits that greeted him on his entrance. So, too, Miss Elliott, whom London has robbed of no whit of her American beau- ty, while giving, perhaps, added grace to her talent. Handsomer than ever, Miss Elliott now claims serious consideration as an actress. Her work has gained in speed, lightness of touch, humor, one might almost say temperament, and it would not be easy to imagine a more competent, and certainly not a sweeter or handsomer Phyllis Ericson. Her voice, too, is smoother and rounder, though it still lacks some measure of beauty in its assumption of the part of the the young man that four anxious b raised by hand. a just old enough to know everything, crude, raw, inexperienced, yet of noble i | stinet, and his acting showed the nice balance and sympathy. The ‘“trinity was filled to its utmost requirement by Neil O'Brien as Waddles; J. R. Cra ford, as Colonel Miles G trio. One of the best play is afforded by “Imp,” savagely desirous of | his manhood upon his four guardians, op- ! poses his raw wisdom to their | charitable experience. Miss Florence | Haverleigh has the role of the Firefly, contrasts and plays it with extraordinary emphasis, | It is difficult to believe that she is not | exactly what she seems to be, the heart- less, worthless, fascinating vampire of the half-world that the poor “Imp” has set | his Young affections on. The rest of the cast fits all needs, and a large house that | looked as if two strikes were ended heard and applauded the pla Grand Opera-House. Edward Harrigan reeeived a hearty welcome at the Grand Opera-house last evening in “Old Lavender” that he will surely remember long. At his first ap- pearance for the evening he received an ovation before he had a chance to speak the first of his lites. Handclapping lasted several minutes, and when Harrigan tried to go on with the play his voice was drowned by applause. Perforce he was compelled to make a brief speech. He said only a few words, which were to the | effect that he thanked the audience for | its kindness. The audience applauded Harrigan whenever he sang or took part in a good scene, and especially when he | uttered the noble sentiments that play gives rise to in the last act. the his acting of the Old Lavender role was consistent. retains all the charm of style in the ren- dering of ballads that he ever had. There was other singing, notably that of a very | wives and exposed the clever bit of work was Frederick | Mr. | highly humorous apprecla- | tion of the role of the young man who is | ham, and F. H. | Tyler as Terence McGrath, an excellent | of the | the scene where the | impressing | mature | Harri- | gan has lost none of his power to please; | If -his voice lacks much, he| good quartet, but Harrigan had the ear of the house for songs.. Brooklyn bridge loomed up picturesque- ly over the East River, the ferry-boat came in with a puffing of steam and a clanking of chains that was realistic; the heroine of the play was thrown over- board by the principal villain and was rescued in the regular thrilling manner of the stage by the gamin hero and the bank was duly robbed. Throughout Harrigan had very good support. Herschel Mayall was all right as the banker brother; Gardner Crane was a success as the crafty villain who schemes; Lillian Albertson filled the re- quirements of Laura Cogswell, the recre- ant wife. Margaret Terry made fun as the deaf woman. The New York boot- black_was cleverly done by Dave Bra- ham Jr., while Gilbert Gardner made the part of “‘Smoke,” who steals dogs, quaint and strong. The house was well filled. The play will be on every evening this week with matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Alcazar. “The Lash of tha Whip,” a farce com- S L L e e BUSHRELL PH GEOC. BLOOMQUE ST ..

The audience was kept laughing all the time and it left the theater still lJaughing. There is the usual suspicious mother-in-law, the gay and de- ceitful young husband, the jealous wife, the sympathizing friends on each side and incidental characters, M. L. Alsop, as the husband, was really excellent and en- tered into the spirit of the thing with great-zest. Henry Shumer, as his friend, who is_henpecked, was equally as good and helped materially in keeping up the fun. George Osbourne was inimitable as an old French General and Howard Scott had a part that suited him admirably as a poet in love with his employer's wife. Frank Bacon was satisfactory as a ser- vant. Marion Convere, as the decelving young wife, was bright and sparkling, and Juliet Crosl who knew all the schemes of married men to’ deceive their tricks of . her E &« - choice.

The cast is an extraordinarily large one, and the act- ing is, on the whole, the best that has been seen for many a day at the Central. The Turkish dances and Oriental music are a surorise and delight. Belasco & Thall have gone to great expense to give a performance of stupendous proportions, and last night's packed house and vocif- erous appreciation demonstrate that they have succeeded in giving the people just what they want in. the line of spectacular melodrama. The performance is one of the best ever given in this city and is an attraction strong enough -to crowd the theater for a month. California.

Tivoli. = The fourth week of the performance of “The Fortune Teller" at the Tivoli com- menced last night. That the show is a success was evidenced by the big audience that attended. It is one of the best shows that the Tivoli people have put on in some time: as it gives the versatile company now playing at the Eddy-street theater ample opportunity to display its ability. Anna Lichter, in the dual roie of Musette and Irma, gives a performance hard to equal, and Harry Cashman has-no trouble in getting hearty applause from the audi- ence with his portrayal of Count Bere- zowski. Hartman, with his trombone and his rolling r's, is very funny. Arthur Cunningham takes advantage of _every opportunity the play affords for the dis- play of his fine voice, and Harold Gordon and Annie Myers sing as of old. choruses are particularly good.

The stage set- ting in their act is very attractive. Jack Northworth, the singing comedian, creates all manner of fun. ‘‘At Bilgeville Junction,” a sketch presented by Milton and Dollie Nobles, is also highly amusing. The Florenze family perform some won- derful feats of tumbling, in which the boy particularly shows remarkable ability. The Wilton brothers do a turn on the triple horizontal bars which is both ex- citing and laughable. The Knight broth- ers have something new to show in the way of freak dancing. The whole bill is as usual a very pleasing one. A special matinee will be given on Thursday, May 1. Central. - The most elaborate production in the history of the Central Theater, with the single exception of the “Voice From the ‘Wilderness,” is the big bill of the present week, the extravaganza “Slaves of the Orient.” “The play is spectacular from start to finish and there are Orlental | ballets, sword dances, a harem dance, in which sixteen beautiful young ladies go through the poetry of motion, and numer- ous other speclalties which please 'and en- thuse. The house last night was crowded and every act recelved an ovation. It was the first appearance at this house of the brilliant young actor Earle Brown, who left an engagement with Henry Mil- ler to become the leading man at the Central, Mr. Brown makes a handsome hero. He possesses a fine voice and is ersonification of grace, and his re- ception last evening was a most Dleasing one. As Lieutenant Ward of the Olympla. who undertakes the difficult task of free- ing an American girl who is claimed by the Sultan as a harem prize, Mr. Brown had the big audience with him at every point and was applauded to the echo. Cur- tain calls were the order of the evening.

Julia Dean, Marian Stone, Donald Bowles, Frank MacVicars, Clifford Dempsey, Ben Southard and Scott Seaton are all hap- pily cast and contribute to the success of a well-written and strongly construct- ed play.

As to the probable income which may supply dividends on the stock, we quote from the speech of Mr. Marconi at the meeting of the Marconi Wireless Tele- graph Co., Ltd.,, held in London on February 20th last. He said: “Returning to the question of commercial working, I may mention that it is no uncommon thing for the messages passing to and from a liner, cither outward or homeward bound, to realize, apart from service messages, a sum of from £30 to £40. Upon a recent arrival of one of the American liners in home waters no less than 8050 words were transmitted and received within the space of sixteen hours. I would point out that if i each compl.ete day of twenty-four hours only that same num- ber of words should be transmitted be- tween two of our trans-Atlantic stations | —and the supposition is, surely, not an extravagant one—that, at 6d a word, would represent an annual income of over £73,000 from each pair of such sta- are proceeding to install two pairs.” From the directors’ report submitted at that same time we quote as follows: “A formal agreement has also been concluded with Lloyd's whereby that Corporation has adepted Marconi’s sys- tem exclusively in connection with their signal stations; the necessary instru- ments are now being installed at ten of their stations, and these will also be worked for the passenger and commer- cial traffic of the Marconi International Marine Communication Company. “The chief Steamship Companies are also giving -orders for installations on their vessels: the Cunard Line, Nord- deutscher-Lloyd, Compagnie Transat- lantique, Beaver Line, Belgian Mail Packets, etc., etc., are regularly and suc- cessfully employing the Marconi system to the great satisfaction of the passen- gers and of the officers of these vessels. This example will doubtless soon be fol- lowed by other Steamship Companies. “By the organization of an extensive system of shore stations, and by means of the agreement with Lloyd’s, the Mar- coni system has secured a practical monopoly of mercantile marine signal- ing and sea telegraphy, and the instru- ments have therefore become the stan- dard instruments for the ships of all nations. It may be noted that ships fitted with the Marconi instruments will alone, to the exclusion of all others. have the right and power of using for wireless telegraphy Lloyd’s and the In- ternational Shore Stations established and being established throughout our organization. The instruments special- ly designed for sea purposes are used in every day commercial work over a range of 100 miles or more, and great, improvements have been effected in other respects.” The Marconi isystem has been adopt- ed by the British Admiralty and the ships of the navy are being steadily equipped, over 37 vessels having been already equipped. This is under a con- tract giving the English Company a substantial royalty, and for a period of 14 years. The Marconi system has been adopt- -ed by the Italian navy, and negotiations are being carried on with various Gov- ernments and work is in progress for -other engagements of an important and beneficial character. It is intended that the station at Cape Cod, now almost completed for trans- Atlantic work, shall be equipped in the most efficient and thorough manner, and immédiately. Another station is to be erected at once at Montauk Point for marine service. With such a revolution in world- around communication it would be in- advisable at the present time to make detailed statistical estimates of the com- mercial profits that are confidently ex- pected, but of all wireless telegraph in- ventions the Marconi alone have shown commercial value, and this Company is the sole owner of a// righ!s to the Mar- coni_system in the United States.
