CAPITAL CITY COURIER, SATURDAY AUGUST n, 1892 THfflTnwnLK' "Cupid's Clmrlot" nt the Lansing attracted a ffilr sized audience Monday ereitlnff nn it the piny was generally well received. The company Is new jet, this having been their tint stand out, they having opened In Onfaht where the piece had been In rehearsal for a month pant at Boyd's new theatre. There I good material In "Cupid's Char iot,' but the pruning knife mint lw applied toitbeforo it ran meet with metroiiolltaii success. There are lot of good specialties Introduced, but they neeni to take up too mucn 01 trie time and several of the songs in troduced have pamod the sere and yellow stago. For instance the Hong of llahy Me Kee, could well l i enlaced bv most an v. thing and then wveral other melodic eually as old could bo dlieiiHd with nud thereby add, rnther than dimliiliih the interest In the play. The Powell brothem mid a great feature to Hie erforiiinnco and are certainly a most clever trio. Their vocal work at well as their comedy and byclclo maneuvers furnish a distinctive feature to "Uuii d's Chariot " Barber, tlio champion wheel artist, of coune astonished everyone with bin feat and was accorded the heartiest applause of the oven Ing. Ho introduced several new tricks that neatly net the bykers In the audience wild with enthusiasm. Many of Alice Kvans admli-ers wero Mimewhat disappointed In bur worK. As u souhretto sheccitnlnly has few if any equals, for xhe Is a cute little dancer, has a well tuodulntcd voice and is as couuet tlsh as a kitten, as was evinced in the kihj. clalties in which she took part. In juvenile parts It would Itu difficult to get hereUal, but when she assumes the leading character, It apiears to lw too much for her anil the speaking parts do not lit her nearly so well as those In which she has been seen hereto fore. Her dresses wero exquisite and the whirlwind dniico was a pretty piece of nov elty. When her specialty work come In she was most generally at home and received merited applause. "Cupid's Chariot'1 when we see It again, will have gone through the revision that every modern success has undergone and like "Tuxedo," "Trip to China Town" and other comedies that were initiated In Lincoln and since become great attractions, it will bo virtually a new piece. There Is good mate rial In, 'Cupid's Chariot," particularly the bycicle race scene, and eseclally under such able mnnngcincnt it Is destined to make a hit everywhere In the near future. Primrose & Wests minstrels held forth at the Lansing Thursday evening, and as usual delighted an onthueinstlc audience. There appoars to bo something magnetic about the drawing power of this old reliable amuse ment aggregation that seems to linger per inanently with the theatre goers. There Is perhaps no other reason for the continuous success that they have enjoyed for years ex cept that they have always catered to rellued audiences for succets. They are ever on the alert for new specialties, and their novelty performance of Thursday evening showed conclusively that they have not been asleep since Inst season. The Mikado ilrst pait Is a handsome anil most artistic piece of stage netting, the costuming likewise being neat and oilglnnl. "The Miner's Dream," a beauti ful vocal composition, was cleverly rendered by Mr. William Thompson. The tumbling exhibitions by Abnchl aud Masand proved a sterling feature of the program and received immense applause. These gentlemen cer tainly stand at the head of their pni tlcular field. George Primrose still amuses the au dience with his "swell" song aud probably will continue to do so for several years td come. Morris Crouln, the famous club swinger, gave a neat and finished exhibi tion and the closing of the entertainment, "Tho Monkeys and the Farmer," was like wise well received. It was a clean and en .joya ble show and seemed to be thoroughly enjoy ed by all present. Manager Church of the Lansing after a few days illness Is about once more and head over heels at work getting ready tor next season. Binco his return from New York the wires have been kept hot answering In quiries for dates and the mall never ai rives unless it brings with It a load of correspond ence relative to some new bookings. Mr. Church now has over UOO performances booked and it would seem that after that num tier had been secured there would be few left to negotiate for. The season at tho Lan sing will be formally oiened with fair week attraction, and from that time on look out for an almost constant run at this beautiful new house. The local management of tbo Funke for the coming season w 111 be in the hands of Mr, K, L. Martlmg of the Price opera house at Atchison. Mr. Martllng arrived Wed nesday and at once began active arrang ments for the opening of the house. He is a gentlemen well versed in the theatrical line, of pleasant and unassuming manners and will doubtless make many friend in his new home. Tho regular season at Funke1 will not begin until September .'!rd, when Kobert Downing will appear In "The Gladi ator." A preliminary season of two nights will lie played next week, when Hattle Ber nard Chase will be seen in a sensational diama entitled "Uncles Darling." The policy of tho house hereafter will he to play tho general run of attractions at 'S itt, SO and 75 cents and that only In cases where the management cannot Induce the attraction to play otnerwlso will, the price for best senU beadollnr. Mr. Martllng returns to Atchi son Wednesday exoctlug to return to Lin coln about a week later to eriimnently cast his lot here. THKATH1CAL MMALI, TALK.

Mr, Wilkinson Is considering tho proposition. Mr. Balvlnl and- hi manager return to the United States this month to prepare f6r next seasons tour. Halvlnl comes to tho I.anli)g late next month, Florrle West, who goes with John T.

Ho speaks with the same old san guine air and mentions coplo In Australia who didn't pay him his money with the pleasantest sort of words. He Is going to undertake to put "Miss Columbia" on the rond. This Is the piece that was done at the Academy in tho early spring and which made a big success. It Is MIsh Waluwrlght's Intention to revive "Twelfth Night" next season and present "Amy llolisnrt" and som live or six stand aid ami Hlmkesperiau plays. Miss Wain wrlght will stay at least two weeks In each of tho larger cities, Julieu Magnus will con tlnue to direct her tour. He has already booked tho greater part of the route, and finds that managers through the country generally welcome the idea of two weeks en gagements. Time has been secured for Miss Walnwrlght In February at the new Fifth Avenue theatre In New York and at the Lnu slug thereafter. Tho most remarkable feature of the com Ing season In New York will lie tho preval ence of the ballet. Of late years this form of entertainment seemed to die out In this country, with the exception of such eo tacles as the Klralfys got up In connection with Barnum's shw. But in theatres the ballet had practically censed to exist. All at once there comes a big and remarkable re vival of this form of entertainment. Per haps now that tho skirt dances are on the wane the old-fashioned, voluminous but short-skirt typo of ballet m ly return to us moro popular than over. If It proves other wise it will not U for want of trjlng, as no Ws than six Now York managers are going to expend heavy money on the venture, IIKTUIIN Or THK NKVV TUXEIH). The combined forces of George Thatcher's minstrels and Itlch & Hants' comedy com pany will hold tho boards at the Lansing theatre Thursday evening In their production of Ed Marble's new minstrel farce comedy creation, "Tuxedo." It is u happy coiuhl nation of high class minstrel ami clean farce comedy. It Is a new type of amusement, aud has the advantage of Mug in touch with the times. The old time minstrel enter tainment is entirely out of date. The ab surdities of plantation life aud the senti mental sldo of slave life aie no longer of genuine interest to American audiences, as the entire condition of affairs In the south has undergone a change since the abolition of slavery. Consequently minstrelsy, in its old garb, is a leaf from ancient history. It thus !ecame necessary to draw from iibw aud vital sources to regain its former hold on the public, and this has leeu thoroughly accomplished ill "Tuxedo." Minstrelsy Is In fact the only genuine organization of the American stage, and like baseball, is thor oughly characteristic of our people. There fore, If kept up with the times, minstrel en tertainments will never be allowed to pass into innocuous disuetude. Mr, Thatcher has provided a very clever lot of people, who have a great deal to do with tho success of "Tuxedo," Prominent in the company are George Thatcher, Hugh ey Dougherty, Burt Hhenl, John A. Colo- man, hu Marble, George A, Lewis, Jay Quigley, John Daly and G. W. Dukel, and comedians Ilaymon Moore, Han Francisco's favorite balladist; It. J. Jose, tho well-known contra-tenor; II, W. Frillmaii, tho eminent basso; Thomas Lewis, baritone; Miss Ida Fitzhugh, prima donna itoprano; Grace Hani ilton, contralto; Miss Mamie Gilroy, sou brette anil the Misses Blanche Hay den, Alice Trudelle and Coriueo Cook, Heats on sale Wednesday morning. THHKK riHEAT PAllK ATTH ACTIONS. Huuday promises to be tho biggest day in the history of Lincoln pai k. Three great attractions, either one of them of sufficient strength to draw a big crowd are announced for the occasion. Tho Boston opera company will give its farewell erformauc8, the fam ous Iowa state band will give two more con certs and the inter-state coursing contest will lo on. Regarding the Ilrst two attrac tions our people are familiar, for they have applauded long and loud tho excellent work of both the opera company and the band con certs. The races, however, area novelty and as a spot t are not excelled. The Inter-state coursing association invites owners of dogs from anywhere in the state to enter for prizes against their company of jack rabbits, w hlch are the native California product. No entry fee Is charged. Tho races are for 100 and '.HX) yiuds each and will be conducted ac cording to association rules, A number of Hue canines have la-en entered for the I aces and the occasion promises to he both Inter esting and exciting. The Iowa baud will render a new program and the day and even ing generally will fuinish 'inoro amusement and of a higher order than is usually pre sented at any outdoor resort In tho country. It will certainly be u gala day uudjou'll surely be theio. TWO .MOUTH AT HJNKn'H On Monday evening the Funke opera house re-oMns its doors for a shoit summer season to present a highly sensational comedy dra ma entitled "Uncle's Darling." Miss Hattle Bernard Chase, a ilslng young star, will b seen in the titlt lole, aud a Urn-class sup porting company will assist In making up nu eujnj utile program.
