So did the Casstus, Maro Antony, Casca and other quarter- backs and halfbaoks of the Mansfield m. So did the ineffable scenery, de- ed by Sir Alma Tadema, R. A. The mob, sure enough, was “it.” It was kind of Mr, Mansfield to permit his Mare Antony (Arthur Forrest) to grab off all the cur ain calls at the close of the forum scene. But kindness—nay, hould have gone fur- jould have been driven forth to make its little bow, for ‘twas the mob that had stirred the audience— the humble, unprogrammed mob, tempted to be “friends, Romans, coun- trymen’ for $2 ger night, or whatever the market mob-wage may be, Would Have Marvelled. 1 think Shakespeare would have mar- yelled at that mob and at Sir Alma enery. ight have marvelled a little at the audience, perhaps, At the young man, for instance, who, In the entr'acte preceding the scene of Caesar's assas- 4 nation, remarked to his ladifren’, “Well, I guess I'll go out and get ready fo. the killin’, and the other young man who cunfided to his neighbor, “Say, I'm sick of that highfalutin dialect! Give _ me Clyde Fitch!" Nevertheless, I think the bulk of the audience would have admitted that Shakespeare stlll ranked as the J. Pie vont Morgan of the drama, even though Mr, Fitch might give him valuable Polnts on the art of concocting plays for che skindtktt, Mr. Mansfield as Brutus exposed to great advantage a highly athletic pair of urma, tinted with the most artistic oman tan that grease-paint could vdznleve.

It has come to be recognized that Mr. Goodwin of late appears to feel it in- cumbent upon him to suffer for others— across the footlights. Possibly he would become petulant {f he were denied the right. It is his favorite specialty, just as wuddling children is Chauncey Olcott's. If Mr. Goodwin were to play a part) wherein he was not the generous, un- | selfish martyr his admirers would Ilkely feel they had been cheated and that he had been robbed of his patent right to show what goodness {s in his stage soul.

By so doing he Imperlis his chance of winning for his wife Sally Sartorls, It all comes out right by the unfortunate girl mak- ing an inadyertent confession to Winni- {rith's young wife. And so one more audience at the Knickerbocker last night saw Mr. Good- win make love to his real-life wife and press his lips to hers with the last cur- tain, There was little, If any, IMuston so far as Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott were concerned.

THANHAUSER, Herr Gerhauser, Who Sang Title Role in Last Night’s Opera, Does Not Impress His Auditors Strongly. Opera and drama locked hands Inst evening over society's patronage and opera won without @ struggle. All the first-nighta about town made not the least impr yn on the size or quality of the opera audience. ‘annhauser” was the opera, with Herr Gerhauser making his first Amer- lean appearance to give the occasion novelty. Mme. Schumann-Heink fur- as the shepherd in place of Miss Bride- well, who is still suffering from Nile fever incident to that Thanksgiving night performance in ‘A{da.” It is long since Tannhauser, steeped in tne spell of the Horeel, has heard a shepherd's lay warbled w!th such purity and precision as that which rolled down to him from the crags of the’ Wartbufg iast night. What he thought of it ts not of record, but to the gudience It seemed the shepherd Jad had been neg- lecting bis flock to practise solfegglo.
