Edward Harrigan him a new play
ready for production. "It linn been
mimed 'The Woolen Stocking,'" Btiid
Mnnngcr M. W. Hnnlny. "Tho Woolen
Stocking is the mime of a coal mine in
Pennsylvania, and Rtock in thin mine in
an important factor in the plot of tho
play. Mr. Hnrrlgnn will play tho part
of a boss New York ntovedoro. It is
jimt in tho lino of tho roles in which
Now Yorkers liko best to seo him. Tho
scenes are nil in New York and tho play
is thoroughly local in color and full of
typical Now York characters. The cast
is an unusually largo one over llfty
peoplo will bo on tho stage. Entirely
new scenery Iiiib been painted for tho
production by tho nrtist, Mr. D. Frnnk
Dodge, and tho mounting will bo hand
some and appropriate. There are five
new songs by Mr. Davo lirnhmu, nnd
they will command the attention of tho
lovers of catchy music, nnd are fully
equal to Mr. llrnham's most ttopulur
melodies. It is not n ono part piece, for
as usual, Mr. Harringan has given a
strong comedy part to Mrs. Ycnmans;
that of tho typicnl Now Yoik 'coon' to
Johnnio Wild, and n sprightly soubietto
part to Miss Emma Pollock. Joe
Spnrks will nppenr as an eccentric
Dutchman, while Miss Hattio Moore
has a part that llts her. Ed Mack nnd
Harry Wright will be seen in prominent
characters. It will bo Mr, Wright's
debut." Tho play will bo produced in
about a mouth, possibly a little sooner.
Fay Templetou has been a failure in
"Mine. Fnvnrt," ns every ono but her
Belt and her manager foresaw she would
be. In tho old days, when she was
young and shapely, nnd with a vivacity
that almost amounted to talent, she was
very good in burlesque nnd a stylo of
comic opera. Hut with her beauty too
widely distributed in tho way of adipose,
jiud with tho little voice she had "tin
keyed and out of tune," it was absurd
of her to undertake a pint that demands
cleverness, grnco nnd voice. Fny is
reaping thu harvest of her follies, and
there is no special sympathy to bo
wasted upon her.
Tho Now York llentld'n musical
critique on tho revival of "Erminlo" by
Francis Wilson at tho Academy is u
jewel worthy of preservation: Act 1
Tho chorus and tho supernumeraries, in
.action nnd repose, deported themselves
nut liko automatons but liko intelligent
beings, tho costumes wero appropriate
and grateful to the eye, and nil con
cerned mado tho most strenuous ef
forts to convince the public of tho fact
that Uiey were having oh! such an
.awfully jolly time. Tho lady soldiers
.were greeted by tho stipes with ncclnmu
tious of loyalty nnd enthusiasm. The
demonstration seemed both odd and
puzzling, the umazons, ono and nil,
having seen many a battle, and their
bearing clearly denoting thntn warrior's
life Is not a happy one. .lavotte, a maid
with many diamonds, thou gave us a
.couplet, tho gist and climax of which
was ii rustic dance. Stinngu rustic
dance that, but pretty, graceful, and
deserving of diamonds. Miss Fnhris,
too, plainly demonstrated that Ennino
had not been forgotten by the com-u-rs.
She sank liko an artist capable

Of course tho llgureswhieh suppoit the

highly iHillshetl. Ivory statues do not
come in such sixes, and celluloid as a
eonsequenco was shockingly en evidence.
Miss Fnhris (Ermine), ns ehlu and ex
quisite iih Judlc herself, cudentcd her
self with the public with tho best
delivery of the lullaby song that wim
over heard. Mr. Wilson, like tho cellu
loid, was very much en evidence. Tho
clowning had become it trifle trying nnd
monotonous by this time. Neverthe
less, tho massing of colors nnd tho liar
mony of movement wero voted delight

Wilson, as usual, demonstrates the
dramatic possibilities of a scenic stair
case. Ho slides and ho stumbles and ho
precipitates himself with an agility
that would have caused Darwin to gloat.
Tho acopclla chorus "Good Night" was
really beautifully sung, nnd tho act
wound up a performance that the
audience enjoyed as if It wero a brand

ISpeolal Correspondence.
NewIIavkn, Oct. 12. IwasdlHCUMlng
thing" theatrical with h well known nnd
popular innimger a fewdaysVlnco when
tho conversation drifted to tho relation
of the church and the playhouses and
finally to tho construction of tho thea
ters nnd temple; of worship, From the
rambling talk I gleaned nomo peculiar
and Interesting facta, "Do you know,"
said he, "that I would never start a the
nter in n building that had once been
URcd.ns church? It would bo Just like
throwing money away. There Is no luck
lu a theater which linn ouco been a
church, and I hnvo records to prove the
nsscrtlon. You can hunt tho country
over, and you cannot Hud an instance
whero a theater or ninunoment enter
prlso linn prospered if cMablifdiod iu an
abandoned church. Church people are
ofton qutto willing to sell off an old
church to n showman for a good price
when thoy nro about to build a new one,
but thoy could not induce ino to start a
theater in Mich a place if thoy gave mo
tho church. I can relate many Instances
of disaster and loss in theaters through
being, it seems to me, located on church
sites.
"Tho old Brooklyn theater, destroyed
by firo a fow yonrs ago, In which over
100 lives wero lost, was built over from
a Congregational church. Tho old Globo
theater on Broadway, Now York, was
originally built for n church. It has
boon on flro sovernl times, but was
nover completely destroyed. It has' a'
long record, however, and has proved a
gravoynrd for everything iu tho amuse
mont lino from Nixon's circus down to
tho 'Streots of London,' Aberly's the
ater on Eighth street, Now York, was
first St. Ann's Catholio chcrch, and it
was n very unlucky playhouse It had
a prccnrlous existence for many yoars
and finally collapsed in flames. The
American theater iu this city, nt one
time St. Mary's Catholic church, was
burned out twico. Its business oxporl
ences wero something exciting, and a
fortune was lost in it. Tho Baptist
church in Bridgeport was abandoned nnd
sold to P. T, Barnum, who would not
allow it to bo used for nmtisoment pur
poses during his liio. The heirs of thu
great showman leased it as a museum
after ho died, and a short tlmo ngo it
went up in smoko with considerable val-
uablo property.
"Tho Now Haven Opera IIouso, burned
but u fow mouths ngo, is remembered ns
tho First Baptist church by tho older
citizens of this city. St. James hall
in Buffalo, used by cheap museums
and third class shows and burned to
tho ground iu 1889, was originally a
Methodist church. Shakcspearo hall,
Syracuse, tho headquarters of tho high
class amateur drnmntio companies, also
burned in 1880, was built from a house
of worship. The Grand Opera IIouso,
Wilmington, Del., was built for a
church and was tilled with worshipers
overy Sunday for ninny years. It was
destroyed by flro in tho winter of 1887.
Tho old Twenty-ninth Street theater iu
Now York was originally erected for
church purposes, and every ono remem
bers tho disastrous termination of Salm
on Morse's famous Passion play when
ho attempted to produce it there, as well
as tho misfortunes of other enterprises
started iu tho unlucky place. And so it
Is ovorywlicro. Tho record would seem
to provo.that a building, onco dedicated
to tho worship of Qod can nover prosper
as on amusement house."
And the record indeed bears him out.
If you look it up, you will find it. so.

to depend upon quick changes of cos
tume, to produce tho effect desired.
Tho double part of tho rutllan and tho
French officer demand upon quick
changes of costume, but of entire make
up as well. Mantell has persovercd in
his devotion to tho romantic drama in
tho face of many obstacles, and in his
latest success has cortuinly shown that
hischoico wns a wiso one. Tho pieco
was tlrst probuced at Proctor's Twenty

A Curu I'or Kttiiiimerliig.
A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives a
very simplo remedy for tho misfortune.
Ho says: "Go into a room whero yon
will bo quiet and alone, got somo book
that will interest but not oxcito you nnd
sit down nnd read two hours aloud to
yourself, keeping your teetli together.
Do this every two or three days or onco
a week if very tiresome always taking
caro to read slowly and distinctly, mov
ing tho lips, but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to
sjieiik as slowly nnd distinctly ns possi
ble nnd mnko up your mind that you
will not stammer.
"Tho first result was toinnko my jaws
ache that is, while I was reading and
the next to make mo feel as if something
had loosened my talking npparatus, for
I could speak with less difficulty imme
diately. Tho I'lmugo was so great that
overy ono who know ino remarked it. 1
repeated this remedy overy five or six
days for a mouth, ami then at lougor in
tervals until cured." "
