There isn't a tune that | sticks, save a scrap of a ‘“‘bell” chorus in the first act and a taste of a song given to Grace Myers. That Mr. Danlels and his people contrive to get so much out of the plece should certificate them merry-making time and shr them of all the sins of “Miss Simplicit, Danlels has the part of a valet who becomes a deputy king in place of a young gallant who goes a-troubadouring after a pretty wench of the fields. The authors place every possible hindrance in Daniels’ way, but he “makes good” In spite of them. His desiccated drollery | chips off into Its usual odd chunks and when he can do nothing else his eloquent | cyebrow goes skyward and fetches down its laugh every time.

T A LUCKY ART STUDENT. Few American art students located in Paris are as lucky as was the now famous illus- trator, Oscar Holliday Bang- hart, the artist whose pictures are creating so much favor- able comment and which are at present being offered free with The Sunday Call. His work found almost immediate acceptance with the great Paris illustrated weeklies. So from this source alone he was in receipt of a Iarge income, besides being a wealthy man from his commercial invest- " ments. Consequently he was | not reduced to the straits of so many young American students, who alr:ost starve while endeavoring to culti- vate art on a little oatmeal. i i R A -+ | | abin. | up in the demand for seats. | Berth | do some | ballets and nursery songs make a hit, and Pretty Grace Myers is delicately fetch- ing and grace as Mademoiselle Clair de Lionville.

Mal Lowery brings a note of joy into the plece.

Frank Turner is a pleasing figure sings well, too. Isabelle d'Armonde shows distinot promise, Kate Uart looms somely and there are others. The chorus sings exceptionally well and human, and the girl chorus is as make 'em. The plece goes GUISARD.

It tells the story of a ung wife rebelling azalnst the duct of her husband.

There are several very strong scenes, ularly the one between the young: wife | and her uncle. Miss Juliet Crosby in | the title role cored an unqualified suc- | cess. It was really the first chance she | as had in a leading part to display her versatility and strong dramatic force, | and she astonished and delighted her ad- | mirers. The scene between her and Sir | Richard at the close of the second act | calls for varied emotions and she rose didly to the occasion.

Frank Bacon, in the comedy part of Fergusson Pybus, was in his element. George Os- bourne met with a flattering reception on his reappearance. He had a small part, but played it with tact. Miss Adele Be garde was graceful and dignified as Mrs, Quesnel, and Miss Marie Howe did well as Lady Darby. Miss Oza Waldrop was clever as Flaine Shrimpton, “who goes in for women's rights.” partic- | Tivol: “Jack and the Beanstalk” is in its third week at the Tivoli, and there is no let There is no end of fun in the extravaganza, and the | Hartman, Webb, Annie Myers and Fog- arty, aided and abetted by Aimee Leices- | ter, Fred Kavanagh and the Cow, repré- sentad by Conlon and Ryder, furnish | most of the fun, and Arthur Cunningham, | Davis and little Cecil Cowies all | good singing. The children in the pretty scenery is nightly applauded to the echo, The next production will be the “Mikado,” which has not been given here for a long time, and should serve to at- tract lovers of the famous comic opera, easily Gilbert and Sulllvan's greatest effort. Chutes. Louis A. Hanvey, a tenor, and Lenora Doane, pianist, pleased a large audience at the Chutes last night with their amus- ing sketch, *Little Willle's First Music Lesson.” The “electric” Clark sisters, Maud Meclntyre, Minona, the transforma- tion dancer, and Joe and Sadie Britton, colored comedians, repeated their hits of last week. Bryan and Nadine, high- class comedy.acrobats, will be added to the programme to-day and the amateurs will appear on Thursday night, Central. The presentation of “The Tide of Life™ at the Central was serlously interfered with last night' by an acetdent to Miss Georgla Cooper, who has one of the most important parts, The accident happened at the rehearsal in the afternoon.

There ‘was the usual big first night| house at Fischer's Theater last night, when “‘Barbara_Fidget: the burlesque on “Barbara Freitchie, was received with hearty approval. The burlesque quite reached the expectations formed from the excellence and humor of pre- ceding travestles produced at Fischer's. The company was admirably cast and kept the merriment of the burlesque at high pitch. “Barbara Fidgety"” has been lavishly staged and will surely draw big houses during its run. Cowles’ Concert.
