THE COURIER 15 A 9J Y, -"V St V -ask ?,: Jefferson. I shall change around, playing alternate seasons in dif ferent sections of the country. I And that the south, with true con servatism, stands by the legitimate .best of any section of the coun try. They read and understand Shakespeare there. In the north and now west there is too much bustle, hurry and scurry after wealth to cultivate general scholarship, and people go to tho theatre merely to be amused." When Mr. Keeno limits his contortionist ex hibition to ten weeks every year things will be a great deal quieter on the stage. Tho tragedian's remarks about the appreciation of the "legitimate"' in different sections of the country are quite unique, almost as unique as his conception of Shakespeare. Mr. Keeno's insinuation that the west does not manifest any considerable en thusiasm over his Shakespearean interpretations is a tribute to tho discriminating dramatic taste of western people. Lincoln ought to feel specially complimented, for he took this town off his list a year ago. The north and west are linked together, it seems, in disap proval of the rendering of legitimate tragedy along the most vocifer ous of melodramatic lines. Maurice Barrymore and E. J. Henley are to blossom out as Joint stars next fall Pauline Hall returns to the scene of her early successes, the New York Casino, April 23, opening in "Madame Favart." This week, in Buffalo, Stuart Robson began a tour of the west that is to extend to California and is not to end until July 1. The "Comedy of Errors" will be the only play presented during the tour M. B. Curtis, the original "Sam'l of Posen" is in New York and has arranged with Manager Rosenquest to begin an engagement at the Fourteenth Street theater. May 14, when he will be seen in "Sam'l of Posen" or the "Drummer Up to Date." It was at this same theater fourteen years ago that Mr. Curtis first appear ed in his famous impersonation of the Drummer, one of the best successes ever known in New York. His play will be given an elab orate revival and the cast will include, a number of well-known actors and actresses. The minstrel performance of the Lincoln Light Infantry com pany will be given Tuesday evening, April 7, at the Lansing theater. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Tuesday, April 17.

Pearson's "She" at the Lansing theater. "She" will be presented at the Lansing theater Thursday evening. It is remarkable for its lack of unnecessary and confusing complica tions and consequently for its absolute clearness. The absence of superfluity greatly enhances its merits. It is written with excellent taste, the costumes are historically correct, and all of the stage ac cessories are such as to lend valuable aid to tho general success of a worthy play. Every character is an essential element and botwcen them all aro included every human emotion. The company present ing it aro of tho best. Prominent in tho cast is Miss Ethel Raynes as Ayesha, Maud Durand as Ustane, Edwin Brown as Kalakrates and Loo Viney, Fred Suounerfield ob Roma' William Lee aB Bilalia, Dan Williams as Ted and Mart Stephens 'as Job. Mr. Stephens sings several good songs during the action of tho play. LINCOLN LIGHT INFANTRY. It is not likely another open drill will be given for at least a month or two, and in all probability the next one will bo at the park or at the beach pavilion. "Well boys, turn in your cash," and then Capt. Campbell opens the grip and assumes that bland expression while the "bhoys" hand in thecartwheels. Tickets for the minstrel performance are almost ' as staple as sugar, and a crowded house is a foregone conclusion. You should just see Charley Outhwaite spin that nickle-plated tambo. Charley gets smoother an' smoother. Mr. Bostrum says ho loved his best girl so hard he broke one of her ribs. Fred Plummer says it must have been a case of "dead in love," but declares that in his case his girl's heart was broken be cause ho was so extremely backward and diffident. Since Jeckell won in the spell-down he wdars extra heavy suspen ders to keep him from going up. Some one has threatened to cut them, and Will has provided himself with a broom. He may sweep cobwebs from the sky. Wilson is a pert and graceful little chap. He will keep the air full of clubs. We can't find out much about him, but it is understood he's "all right." Dr. Victor says its cruel to make him walk so much. Frank Burr has been to "heben." He'll tell you all about it. Tinker. CAPITAL GITY CYCLING CLUB.
