The past week 1m fairly opened the autumn dramatic season which , thus early , has been marked by some of tlioso peculiar Incidents of the London play-roer's life personal demonstrations from the gallery and pit. "Tho New Woman , " Sydney Grundy'g latest play , Just produced by Comyns Can al the Comedy theater , nnil which has proved a popular success , was one o the plays which brought forth the demonstra tions referred to. The first of the notabilities who arrived at the Comedy on Saturday evening List , the date of the first performance , was the Ken dalls. They were received with loud ap plause from the pit and gallery. Clemenl Scott , the dramatic critic , was tlio next person - ' son recognized by the audience. Ills np- penrance was the signal for a storm of hisses. Some time later , the duke and duchess of York npeared In the royal box and were welcomed with cheers and loud cries of "How's the baby ? " "Glad to see you , " etc. This peculiar demonstration on the part of the Londoners was mildly repeated at the Adclphi Monday night , where the new melo drama by Haddon Chambers and 11. C. Stephenson , .the American rights of which belong to Charles Frohman , was produced for the first time before a brilliant flrst- nlglit audience. It Is called "The Fatal Card , " after being advertised as "Life , " "A Life for a Life" and "The dame of Life. " For this production the Messrs.

HERO OP A GAUD SHAUP. The fln > t act of "The Fatal Card" takes place In Colorado , where Forester and Dlxon arc the leaders of a gang of robbers and card sharps , who have been warned by the vigilance committee to leave Hlslng Star within twenty-four hours. All escape but Forester , who Is about to be lynched when Gerald Austin , at the Instance of Mercedes , who loves Forester , contrives his escape. The curtain comes down on the situation : "Should we ever meet again take this card , " etc. etc.In In act two the scene changes to the Thames river , where Forester , now called Marrablc , Is living In aflluenc ? with Ms daughter Margaret , In love with Austin. Austin's father , n wealthy stock broker In the city. Is expecting the arrival from New York of $100,000 'In ' bonds , which Marrable and Dlxon decide to steal. Act three opens at the office , where Mar rable and Dlxon are awaiting the arrival of the clerk with the bonds , Gerald Austin en ters , has a strong Interview with his father about his betrothal and exits , leaving his father to be chloroformed by Dlxon. The victim party recovers and Is thereupon mur dered by Dlxon , who escapes with the bonds , while Marrable is discovered by Mercedes standing over the dead body ot Austin. Gerald Austin Is accused of the murder , arrested and escapes. The last ait of the traditional five Is the rendezvous of the gang , where Gerald Austin has been bound and gagged. The villains are drawing lota as to who shall kill him. Mnrrable and Dlxon quarrel over the booty and A'ustln' hears the truth. Then , when Marrable , ' ' who has drawn the lot. Is about to murder Austin , Gerald gives Mar rable a miniature to be conveyed to his mother as a dying wish. Therein Marrable finds the card given to Austin in .act one. Of. course Austin Is set free , marries the girl of his heart and the villains arc promtply disposed by the unoriginal device of a dyna mite explosion. "Tho Fatal C' rd" was received with ter rific enthusiasm and It Is now beyond a doubt a success. "The Gayety Girl" opens at Daly's theater on Monday next , after having been recast and rewritten. Letty Llnd , Rutland Barring- ton and Grossmlth , Jr. , join the cast and Lottie Venn and Hnyden Coflln remain. The chorus and dancing1 have been Improved. Rev. Dr. Boyd , D.D. , master of Hertford and vice chancellor of Oxford university , has Interdicted any further representaticns of Sydney Grundy's "Sowing the Wind" within the university Jurisdiction. STRIKING AN AVERAGE. Upon this Mr. Grundy writes : "To lay men at the end of the nineteenth century It seems a bit mediaeval , this extreme care for the morals of a set ot young gentlemen who qualify for six months abstinence at Oxford by six months indulgence at music halls In London and elsewhere. Perhaps Dr. IKyd Is attempting to secure for his charges u fair yearly average. " AVhat he can sc'e Injurious In 'Sowing the Wind' would , It Is said In theatrical circles , puzzle any one but Rov. Dr. New man Hall. On a recent production of Mr. Grundy's comedy at Edinburgh , the veteran Prof. Hlackle wrote to the Scotsman to say the play was "not merely a play , but a sar- mon , and one more striking and more effective than any I am likely to hear tomorrow frqm the best pulpit orator in Edinburgh. I say , therefore , that It Is not merely unwise in the office bearers of the Christian church to put a stamp of dishonor upon the pictorial pre sentments of the stage , but It Is the Im perious duty of the Christian church to give a public acknowledgement ot the sister serv ice of the theater by patronage of the drama generally and especially by their In dividual and official presence at the repre sentation of such highly moral and essen tially Christian plays as 'Sowing the Wind , ' one of the best sermons , I have no dsubt , that was ever preached on Hosea vll:7. " Lest the stage should b3 too much "stuck up" over Prcf. Blackle's champion ship , Dr. Newman Hall Is out with a piece ot denunciation in the Review of the Churches , declaring that "the theater of the present day , as a whole. Is calculated to do more Injury both to performers and specta tors , and therefore should net receive the sanction of the Christian church , The plain truth Is that of the three most popular plays , the subject ot one Is Incest and murder , of another unbridled debauchery , and of an other the career o'f a fallen woman. " The Gayety Girl company , .which opens at Daly's Broadway houuo September 7 , should reach New York by Monday by the steamer Berlin. During tjhp last week most of them were entertained jat a scries of "at homes , " but the final caat iyrza not settled until Just before their departure.

SLIGHT TINGE OF BLACK INTRODUCED Jlrlghtriird I'-flects In I'nrlslnu Moil t Is bklrtK Still full mill I'lurlng niul Mrove * LarprrTlmii Krer A ( 'itl'lutm Jluluy Diiy I'liathuo for the rail , This la the mid season In which the French inedlstc scores her greatest triumph. Dur ing thcso weeks ot uncertainty , when the well dressed woman Is In kearcli ot a compro mise between her \ \ cttorn summer things und distinctively autumnal nou'Uics , follow ing the lead of that remarkable guide , Mother Nature , she deepens a tint hero und there to a shade ut once warm und rich , and with the turning ot the leaves gives her new- gowns cclors and girdles of rich nasturtium or vivid geranium red. This last fmo color Is best known ns English red , since U just matches the flaming glory of the llrltlali soldier's ' coat. A shadow of the melancholy days to come , when the wcods have lost their Ilcetlng splen dors , Is an odd and effective Inttoductlon of black Into every costume , no matter for what occasion It may bo designed. The new street gowns of dark cloth , and the airiest tulle gowns fcr young girls , are alike treated with black , with what one might call reser vations , for nowhere ilocs the somber shadow dominate. Narrow strips of black satin on the skirt bottom or upper halj cf the bodice , a collar , cuffs , or a narrow , close folded line of It at the waist , are the bounds within which the sensible couturlere restricts her use of this effective shading. An excellent example of Its most appropriate use Is clearly shown In a figure which wears a cape of black satin , brightened along every edge with nn entre deux cf butter colored lace , which with the long stole ends of satin falling over the bust , the Parisian designer of gowns intends to make repeated and in teresting use ot In the coming winter. It Is just as well here to also call attention to the length and fullness of the black satin cape , a fair model of the newest autumn wraps. French women , who are usually shcrt , have learned by careful experiment that a long cape wrecks the lines of any but a very tall woman's Ilgure , that extensive shoulders lend lithe Glcmlerness to any waist and that the stole or sash ends give lines ot grace. NOVEL DECORATIONS. But there is n matter frcm which we have strayed , It was to point out the simple yet telling treatment with folds and rosettes of black satin of the reseda green cropon gown worn by this same figure. Another style Is also a good Illustration ot an appropriate use cf black. This Is a bronze brown rough chovlot , warmly tinted with a small , dull red figure , Interwoven In Its mesh. Accordion plaited white chiffon fllls In the pointed vest , cvcrlaid with black satin bands , connecting belt and collar. The simplicity of the skirt Is tellcveil by small fulled panniers that are very much used Just now In the place of the ovorsklrts that even Parisian approval has not Induced women to fully accept. By all signs ot the times It would seem that the winter of 1891-03 will see all women again In plain , circular , flaring skirts and sleeves larger than over , If that Is possible. GRACEFUL DRAPERIES. Perhaps one of the newest nnd mcst ap proved overdresses is a novelty cloth gown of green and red. At tha back Its drapery hangs In the form of a knee deep and full flounce , the goods be ng doubled by a folded arrangement on the hips. Finely plaited black m.ussellne de sole fllls the vest and farms the throat band , and a pol ished jet buckle fastens the double breasted bodice below. It Is really delightful to note the In genuity of soft fingered Parisian women ivho are making new neckwear more than ever affected by women who love all dainty ad juncts of the toilet. Of tulle , moussellnc dc sole and chiffon they fashion bows , ruffs and collarettes with or without crnds , and In such Infinite variety of term nnd color that In many places sets ot these neck doings are sold wHh every gown. A very appropriate method of this neck and shoulder decoration for a young girl is a gown that in the original Is of a prettily mixed brcwn and blue goods. Where the skirt is eVer so slightly draped on the hips a line ct brown velvet peeps below the hem , and brown velvet , edged with plaited frills of brown silk , forms the collar , vest and revers , while the girdle , also of velvet , Is knotted In front and drawn through a small gold buckle. SOME AUTUMN WRAPS. Glengarry capes In pliable double fancy Scotch wools , plain on one side and plaid on the other , make stylish any useful wraps for autumn. When the gay plaid Inner fac ing Is not liked , shot taffeta silk the color of the capo or In a contrasting shade forms an effective lining. Theater , visiting and carriage capes are made only In velvet and arc , If anything , shorter than ever. The round , frill-like ef fect , too , about the shoulders Is to give way to a sort of octagonal cut , which , when the garment Is In place , brings n straight line across the mlddlo of the back , front and ' arms. But no matter how many capes In a ward robe , they never quite seem to take the | place of a single smart coat. The newest Jackets of English make have very large but tons , loose fronts and monster sleeves to accommodate those of the bodice. Though fitting somewhat more snugly than the . French models , they are delightfully easy In cut , and when made In any of tlio light tan cloths they are dashing contrasts for dark skirts. Some of the French designs are almost as loose as a night dross , falling in folds from the shoulder and with huge blouse sleeves , They are naturally the very perfection of comfort , but only the most slim and well carried figures should presume to adopt them. Driving and riding Jackets have lapped seams and are cut with two darts In front. TllK TIIK.ITKKS. Danlol Frohman'B Lyceum Theater company will be at Boyd's new theater Monday and Tuesday nights , presenting Its latest success , "Tho Amazons , " by Arthur W. Plnero , which ran four months In New York. Ever since the organization of this company some seven years ago It has at each season appeared In the principal cities during the fall and presented a play by someone of the best dramatic authors of the day , nnd each time one entirely new to Its many friends. Its successes therefore have been numbered by the years of Us existence. The name plan has been followed during the present tour , and the play presented Is that which has been the success of Its previous season In New York at Its home theater. This time , by the way , It Is one which has been more profltabla to the management and gained greater reputation for the company than any they have ever offered , and at the same tlno It has presented a play BO different from what has become known as Lyceum plays that It Is startling In Its effect , and were It no' for the great merit of the play Itself would not bo a well received. It Is one of the very few successes of the past New York season , It Is from the pen of Arthur W. Plnero , author ot "The Squire. " Highest of all in Leavening Power.

As may bo Judged from the story , the play Is ; > uro comedy , and the author's name Is guar anty that It Is both amusing and refined. Lincoln J. Carter's big scenic pi eduction , "Tho Tornado , " comes to the Fifteenth Street theater for four nights and Wodneaf day matinee today. H Is without doubt the perfection of realism. Many plays tntroilucS .ng wonderful scenic effects meet with moro or less success , but Ms production has been produced In all the large cities , and tin ) [ ircss are unanimous In Its praise. It 14 Illlcd with genuine Interest , power , lulur * allies3 and pathos , The story on which tha iilay Is produced is briefly this : Ephram Lament holds n mortgage on the liomo of his cousin , Sllns Lamont. ICphrant Is an old rascal , who cast off his wltc nncl lier two children , n boy and a girl , afton getting possession of the wife's money , anil niado It appear that he never had wedded tier. Ho supposes them dead. When he at- : empts to foreclose his mortgage his ncphcvt GrOrge conies to his father's assistance nnd l > aya the mortgage , getting a relesse from Ills cousin , Jclui , son ot Ephram. SI his has In his possession the wedding certificate ot Ephram and his wife , nnd this , with thej release , he hides in a hollow tree. Unknown to him , Ephratn's child , under the name at Ellen Wallace , Is In Iho care of Bridge ! ; O'Raffcrty , who does not know the young girl's Identity , and Ellen lies been secretly- married to George. Ellen's brother , Alherll after a hunt for his parents , believes that Silas , and not Ephrani , Is his father , IIo , hot rifles Kllen by telling her that she hag married her stop-brother. Ho takes hen away , and George Is persuaded by John Lament , who Is also In love with Ellen , thai she has clcped with Albert , who Is enl known to the other characters as Mr. WaU lace. Immediately after the supposed clopo ment the tornado occurs , and It Is truly a n marvelous piece of scenic art. Actual -wln4 blows , walls totter and fall , the hollow trea Is uprooted and carried off , and nature Is so ) deftly counterfeited that the Illusion Is com4 plete. Three or four enthusiastic ; recalls follow the production of this scene. Then follows the chase of Ellen by her husband , and his friend , Biff Bars , who , by the way ; is In love with Lulu O'Rafferty. Ellen and her brother have crossed the ocean on the steamer Baltic six hours ahead of the hua band , who fololws on the Erma. This gives us a storm at sea , splendidly worked , and the scene rapidly shifts from the deck to cabin , from cabin to foretop , where , on the swaying yards the reefers are seen shortenV Ing sail. Then we return to the deck , ana an ope-n beat is picked up containing Klluu and her brother , the Baltic having foim dercd. Next follows a. collision at ECU , and , the colliding vessel rips clear through thq decks o' the Erma , tearing them up nnd bursting them asunder. This Is followed by , a tableau of the sea. In which the wavog "run mountains high. " The offset Is simply , wonderful. I The characters are , of course , saved , and Ellen , still liollovlng herself her husband's step-sister , disappears. She Is k'dnapped bv John Lament and is about to be drowned b > 5 thugs In tha Chicago harbor , when they * thinking she Is already dead , sell the eup posed body to the doctors. Her husband , who Is a professor in the medical collogoi la about to dissect the body with his class ! when he recognizes his wife. This Is a thrilling , well written and original scene ) going so very close to nature as to border the horrible. Ellen Is restored to llfi and in the last act the mistake Is explained ! the hollow tree's secret Is revealed , and al | ends happily.
