No subject is more fertile in ideas for
the author und playwright than oliticH
-American' politics, arid in "A Texas
Steer" Mr. Hoyt treats tho subject in a
broadly huuiorouB way thut Is positively
irresistible, esicciully when the story is
told by such peoplo us Tim Murphy.
Year by year Murphy elaborates and
softens his part. His Maverick Itrimder
is' so good thut one cunnot help wishing
to seo him in koiuo more ambitious un
dertaking. One of the most remarkable
things hi "A Texas Steor" Murphy's
muke-up. There- is nothing that looks
tike imitation in his representation of
the venerable Texan who accused tho
votersof his district ot tukiug advantage'
of his abwnco by electing him to con
gress. If the audience in the Lansing theatre
hist Friday evening hail uover seen
Ktoru "Walsh (Mrs. Hoyt) as Homy,
Alice Kviins' characterization would
doubtless have received the highest
praise, l-'ollowiug the actress who
created tho purt she had an exceed
ingly difficult lole, and it must be ad
mltted thut she acquitted herself very
oredllublv. Her JiiiHMi was not as
mellow as Miss Wulsh's and in many of '
the little tricks of the part she failed
to exhibit that winsoineness that was,
so attractive in the original rendition.

Itobeit Miiutell wuh been in this city
Wednesday night for the tlrst time in
several years. His role or rather his
roles, iu "The Face in the Moonlight"
are unlike his characterizations in "The
Corsican Urothers" and "Monbars"
which are familiar to most theatre
piers; but Mantoll can never quite dis
guise his personality, and there was
much to remind one of his other repre
sentutions in the characters of I'Vor
Amlti-ow und llaliert.
In the larger cities there is a disposi
tion to make light of Mantell us a
"ladies man" und it is occasiouull re
marked thut he is a favorite with
matinee audiences, which is the most
objectionulile kind of criticism.
There can be no doubt thut Mantell is
upuinstukinguctorof real ability. He is
purticttlurl adapted for the romantic
drama,
In "The Face in the Moonlight," u
rather inuptl named drama dealing
with revolutioimr France, he does the
parts of two half biothers, and he pur
t rajs I he two distinct characters, one a
half muudlen villain and the other u
French soldier, with intelligence und
force. His concdy work, aided ma
teriull by his lemuikuble fucilit iu

Coining Attraction,
Widely different from "Tho J Ensign,"
William Huworth's big naval pluy, Is
his lutest effort in dramatic workman
ship called "A Nutmeg Match," which
will be given ut the Lansing theatre
this evening. "A Nutmeg Match" is a
domestic drumu of natural type, bright
iu diulogue und brisk iu action, well
treated and mounted, and 'losscssing a
story of interest. The scene is laid in
Connecticut und that iswhere it gets its
somewhat odd title. Cinders, an un
educated yet tender-hearted girl, simple,
true und womanly, is the
chief tlguro of a most interesting story,
which from tho tranquility of pastoral
simplicity reaches in places the highest
pitch of dramatic -ower. ISriefly tho
story tells of the betrayal of Grade
Hartley, tho sister ot tho hero,' Willium
Hartley, by Tom Stoddurd. Tho girl
has left her homo und meets her brother
ut the home of Cinders, where he wus
called by tho nature ut his busiues,
which wus dock building. Cinders
fulls in love with Hartley, marries und
is happy und unhappy ns the impulsive
ness of her nature moves her. During
tho action of tho pluy Hartley pursues
Stoddard with a determination to
uveuge his sistei''s wrong and meets
him on the deck of a floating pile-driver.
In the stiuggle which ensues, Hartley is
knocked senseless, his head placed
under the immense weight which Slod
dard is about to drop when Cinders
opportunely comes to the rescue and
drugs her husband .away as the weight-
comes crashing down. The scene is
said to be one of the most lealistic ever
put upon tho stage,
One of the most Interesting announce
ments for this season is the engage
meiit at the Lansing theatre of Thomas
Q. Scahiooko and bis opera company
and ballet in "Tho Isle of Champagne,"
by Chus. A.Hyrne und Louis Hurrison,
Monday ovoniug October U.'t. No inoro
brilliant success has been obtained for
many years than that nchioved by Mr.
Seabrooko iu his delightfully qtinint
and humorous impersonation of the
character of King Poininery Sec'nd, the
exalted rulerof "The Isleof Champagne,"
whoso inhabitants are supposed to huve
been ignorant ot the use of water as a
boverage until accident opens their
eyes to its luxurious advantages. Tho
story ot the opera is amusing und
wholly original, and the scenes und
uction udmit of great freedom of design
on the part of the urtist. "The Isle of
Champagne" overlooked by geographers,
lies upon tho billowy bosom ot a soa of
tho choicest vintage; wino spouts from
its springs and courses in rivulets J
through this purudise. There is noi
wuter, not even for stock puroses in
this very "tight littlo isle." If a tire
breaks out the local department wets it
down with u stream of golden tlzz, und
tho laundry work is done by means ot
the same plentiful Unit. Tho curtain
rises on the tlrst net, showing a turroted
castle, with moat, drawbridge und jnirt
cullia coinj lete, lifting its champagne
spires into the blue hnzo of a tropical
sky, and surrounded by a liowor of
vines, erected on it littlo elevation com
manding a pel feet view of the ocean
beyond, The castle's walls are built Iu
Imitation of the wicker work of cham
pagne baskets, und the towers urn cham
pagne bottles. From tho loop holes the
Irregular mid gnutled corks peep tint,
while the decorations nil take their
model from champagne ussoiiutloiiH.
Eight people will uppeur lu Monday
night's production, nnd two carloads of
scenery will bo used.
Robert (1. Ingersoll will deliver his
noted led me on "Shnkesprnre" ut tho
Lnnslng theatre Wednesday evening.
It is said that this is the great lecturer's
favorite subject; ut liny rate ills the
one which bus brought him the greutest
renown. Mr. Ingersoll bus studied
Shakespeare with much thoroughness,
and his tieatment of tho poet Is such
that it will be thoroughly enjoyed by
all loveis of the Immortal bard. In
gersoll, whose piose Is sonu't-imes ut
most puin poetry, is one of the most
finished lecturers lu the country, and
his presence In Lincoln is all event of
unusual Importance.
Doniiuin Thompson's "Old Home
stead" comes to tho Lansing Friday,
October li7, The plot of this fuvorlto
pluy is a simple moral story, just the
same as a father and mother experience
with their children everyday, and is a
thread holding together tho moving
panorama of city und country life. Is it
any wonder thut people Hock to see u
play which so cloveily carries them
buck o "old times," and which their
children enjoy just as much now us
they themselves used to? The most
remarkable feature of its success is the
fact thut it draws among Its patrons
many prominent clergymen who huve
never before darkened the doors of ti
theutie, mid who, In turn, have from
their pulpits paid II the highest tribute
possible by saying thut the pluy taught
a hlgli moral lesson, us stiong and
powerful us any they could pleach.
This before uuhrtird of endorsnment
sends thousands to witness it who huve
always looked upon the stage us a
place to bo shunned und avoided. "The
Old Homestead" will be recorded in the
annals of history as tho most successful
domestic play ever known, artistically
mid financially,
auiuriiuy evening ucioner i the
Lansing theatre offers the .iscmiid:
edition of Chus. Fi oilman's attractions
Tor the season lu his great Empire
theatre success entitled "The Masked
Mall." Fi oilman's attractions are too
well known in Lincoln to lequlre ex
tended comment. It has long been
conceded thut this successful manager
never offers anything infnrlortothepiib
licuiid with tliisuttractiou there is noex
ception to the rule. This will be the
initial appearance iu Lincoln of "The
Masked Hall" und with Manager
Church's assurance us well us ('has.
