Pienot.
Tho company required to pioduco tho
opera will number over seventy people,
and besides MIsh Hall will include
Richard Golden, AIT 0. Wheelau,
Caroline Hamilton and Fannie Diivul.
Rehearsals aro now belnir held dally nt
Harridan's theatre, New York, and tho
llrst presentation of theopera on any stage
will be at Rochester, N. Y., in the Lyceum
theatre, on tho 10th. From Rochester
tho company will go to Syracuse and
thence to Host on, where on October 'XI
a three weeks' engagement will be be

Edward Harrigan has a new play
ready for production. "It has been
named 'The Woolen Stocking,'" said
Manager M. W. Hanlay. "Tho Woolen
. Stocking is the name of a coal mine in
Pennsylvania, and stock in this mine is
an important factor in the plot of tho
play. Mr. Harrigan will play the part
of a boss New York stevedore. It is
just in the line of the roles in which
Now Yorkers like best to see him. Tho
scenes aro all in New York and the play
is thoroughly local in color and full of
typical New York characters. Tho cast
is an unusually largo one over fifty
people will lie on tho stage. Entirely
new scenery has been painted for the
production by tho artist, Mr. D. Frank
Dodge, and the mounting will bo hand
some and appropriate. There are live
new songs by Mr. Dave Urahain, and
they will command the attention of tho
lovers of catchy music, and aro fully
equal to Mr. Hraham's most popular
melodies. It is not a one part piece, for
as usual, Mr. Harringan has given a
strong comedy part to Mrs. Yeamans;
that of tho typical New York 'coon' to
Johnnio Wild, and a sprightly soubietto
part to Miss Emma Pollock. Joe
Sparks will appear as an eccentric
Dutchman, while Miss Hattio Moore
has a part that tits her. Ed Mack and
Harry Wright will bo seen in prominont
chnracteis. It will bo Mr, Wright'B
debut." Tho play will bo produced in
about a month, possibly a little sooner.

young and shapely, and with a vivacity
that almost amounted to talent, she was
"very good in burlesque and a stylo of
comic opera. Hut with her beauty too
widely distributed in tho way of adipose,
and with tho little voice she had "tin
keyed and out of tune," it was absurd
of her to undertake a part that demands
clovernesB, grace and voice. Fay is
reaping the harvest of her follies, and
there is no special sympathy to bo
wasted upon her.
Tho Now York IIemt(Vn musical
critique on tho revival of "Ermlnio" by
1'iancis WjIbou at tho Academy is a
jowel worthy of preservation: Act 1
Tho chorus and tho supernumeraries, in
-action and repose, deported themselves
not like automatons but like intelligent
beings, tho costumes were appropriate
4i ml grateful to the ojo, and all con
corned niado the most strenuous ef
forts to convince tho public of the fact
that they weie having oh! such an
4iwfully jolly time. Tho lady soldiers
.woie greeted by thesupes with acclama
tious of loyalty and enthusiasm. The
demonstration seemed both odd and
puzzling, the amazons, one and all,
having seen many a battle, and their
bearing clearly denoting that a warrior's
lifo is not a happy one, .lavotte, a maid
with many diamonds, thou gave us a
.couplet, tho gist and climax of which
was it rustic dance. Stiango rustic
fiance that, but pietty, graceful, and
deserving of diamonds. Miss Fnbris,
too, plainly demonstrated that Ermine
had not been forgotten by tho com
jiosers. She sanL like an artist capable
of much better tilings. Then, entrance
of Raveunesaud Cailcaux. An audience
of bedlamites! It seemed as if tho
plaudits would never cease. Why is
tho play called "Ermino" and not
sqdering
audacious colors. A wondorful
ncrobntic comedian who can positively
project half masticated apples into his
surroundings' eyes. Act II Tho
grand hall of the chateau of tho Mar
qtiis do Pontvert was a scenic dream.
Of course the llgureskwhloh supoit the
incandescent chandeliers appeared too
highly h)IIb1iw1. ivory statues do not
come in such sizes, and celluloid as a
consequenco was shockingly en evidence.
Miss Fabris (Ermine), as chic and ex.
qulsito usihidlc heiself, endeared her
self with the public with tho best
delivery of the lullaby song that was
over heard. Mr. Wilson, like the cellu
loid, wasery much en evidence. Tho
clowning had become u tiitlo trying and
monotonous by this time. Neverthe
less, tho manning of colors and tho bar
mony of movement were voted delight
ful. Act III In tho tlnal act Mr.
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 catiRod Darwin to gloat.
Tho acepolla chorus "Good Night" was
really beautifully sung, and the act
wound up a performance that tho
audience enjoyed an if It were a brand
now novelty.
Maggie Clino, who has been christ
ened "Tho Irish Linnet" has added a
new song to her repertoire, of which
tho following forms tho grst two verses:

At the Lansing next Wednesday ovon

notor, Robert Mnntell, will appear,
when ho will produce his Now York
success, "The Faco in the Moonlight."'
Tho largo number of people who admiro
Mr. Mnntell in light comedy will bo
glad to learn that this play contains
many opportunities for him in that
particular line. Mr. Mantell is tho
happy posessor of a handsome faco and
figure; his stago presenco is uhviryn dis
tinguished, and his work noticablo for
tho thorough attention ho gives to
every detail. Ho plays a dual role in
this piece, but it is unliko"Tho Corsiean

'Ultima thcrttrlonl with h well known and
popular inniuiger n fewdaysVliico when
tho conversation drifted to tho relations
of tho church nml tho playhouses ami
finnlly tn the construction of the thea
ter and temple of worship. From tho
rambling talk I gleaned noino peculiar
nml Interesting facts. "Do you know,"
said he, "that I would never start a the
ater In h building that had once been
used as church? It would he juit like
throwing money away. There is no luck
in n theater which has onco been a
church, and 1 havo records to prove tho
nsscrtlon. You can hunt tho country
over, nml you cannot llml an instance
where a theater or amusement enter
prise has prospered if established in an
abnndoned church, Church people are
ofton qulto willing to sell off nn old
church to a showman for n good price
when thoy aro about to build n now ono,
but thoy could not Induce mo to start a
theater in such n place if they gave mo
tho church. I can. rolnto many instances
of disaster and loss In theaters through
bolng, it seems to inc, located on church
altos.
"Tho old Brooklyn theater, destroyed
by firo a fow years ago, in which over
100 lives wcro lost, was built over from
n Congregntiohal church. Tho old Globe
theater on llrondway, Now York, wns
originnlly built for n church. It has
been on tiro several times, but was
novcr completely destroyed. It-lms'n1
long record, however, and has proved a
graveyard for everything In tho amuse
wont lino from Nixon's circus down to
tho 'Streots of London.' Aberly's the
ater on Eighth street, New York, wns
first St, Ann's Catholio chcrch, and it
was a very unlucky playhouse It had
a precarious existence for ninny years
and finally collapsed in flames. The
American theater in this city, at ono
time St. Mary's Catholic church, was
burned out twice Its business oxperi'
enccs wcro something exciting, and a
fortune was lost in it. Tho Baptist
church in Bridgeport was abandoned and
sold to P. T, Barnuui, who would not
allow it to bo used for amusomeut pur
poses during his lifo. Tho heirs of tho
great showman leased it as a museum
after ho died, and n short timo ngo it
went up in smoko with considerable val
uable property.
"Tho Now Haven Opcrnllouso, burned
but u fow months ago, is remembered ns
tho First Baptist church by tho oldor
citizens of this city. St. James hall
in Buffalo, used by cheap muBonms
and third class shows and burned to
tho ground in 1880, was originally a
Methodist church. Shakcspearo hall,
Syracuse, tho headquarters of tho high
class amateur dramntio companies, also
burned in 1880, was built from a house
of worship. Tho Grand 0cr;i Hnuso,
Wilmington, Del., was built for u
church and wns tilled with worshipers
every Sunday for many years. It was
destroyed by firo in tho winter of 1887.
Tho old Twenty-ninth Street theater in
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 in the unlucky place. And so it
is everywhere. Tlio record would seem
to prove.tliat a building, onco dedicated
to tho worship of God can never prosper
as nu amusement house."
And the record indeed bears him out.
If you look it up, you will find it. so.

A Cum Tor Ktumiiierlng.
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 you
will bo quiet and alone, got some book
that will interest but not oxcito you and
sit down and read two hours aloud to
yourself, keeping your teetli together.
Do this every two or three days or onco
n week if very tirebomo nlways taking
caro to read slowly and distinctly, mov
ing the lips, but not tho teeth. Then,
wlien converting with others, try to
sjH'ak as slowly and distinctly as possi
ble and inako up your mind that you
will not stammer.
"Tho first result was tomako my jaws
ncho that is, while I was reading and
the next to make me feel as if something
had loosened my talking apparatus, for
I could speak witli less difficulty imme
diately. Tho chango was r.o great that
every one who know mo remarked it. 1
ropeuted this remedy every five or six
days fur u mouth, and then at longor in
