A vast audience , which filled the Crelghton theater from ntsge to dome , break ing all records for bigness , welcomed the veteran actor on his llrst entrance with applause - plauso lasting fully two mliiiitcs , nnd fol lowed Ilic familiar fortunes of "Hip Van Wlnhlo" with tears and laughter , as ho pleased to provoke them. No man could bo Insensible to mich a reception. Mr. Jct- ferson certainly was not. Ho spoke twice Leforo the curtnln In acknowledgment , a thing not many of those present had ever heard him do. At the end of the first net he was heartily called once nnd a second lime , and then holding up his hand for sllonrp1m snld : "Ladles and Gentlemen : I know that It is not quite the thing to make a speech in the middle of a play ; but I cannot let the occasion pass without expressing my warm appreciation of the affection which yon have shown for our mutual friend. Hip Van Winkle. I thank you most sincerely. " Again , after the final curtain , the nudl- enco clamored for a last glimpse of the kindly old gentleman. He appeared nmt stood u moment , waving his hand In fare well. Still the uproar of shouts and cheers nnd clapping of hands continued. Mr. Jef ferson. In the rags and heavy beard of the later Hip , crossed to the center of the stage end appeared about to speak again. The iron curtain had already begun Its majestic ( Uscent. When ho could be heard , the ven erable actor said : "My friends ; 1 nm Inexpressibly touched by the warmth of your greeting. If the iron curtain will wait n moment 1 will try , although I shall not bo able , to tell you how gratifying this Is to me. Some of you may not' know that It Is more than a quarter of a century since I first appeared1 In your city , playing the part which you have been kind enough to applaud tonight , and I doubt not I played it then nnd have played It slnco before the parents and grandparents of many who arc hero present. Once more I thank you , and good-bye ! " Of Mr. Jefferson's Hip , what can one of the third generation of those wnom It has delighted say , which has not been said and reiterated by his forebears ? Time cannot wither this rare- old player apparently , nor custom stale his Intlnlto variety. Many who can remember the Hip of the remote period referred to can note no changes In It nuw. To others It seems to Imvo taken on a mellowness with age- and to have be come refined and sublimated. At 07 the creator plays It with all the lire of youth.

Audiences have grown so familiar with this Impersonation that they know It thoroughly from end to end , watch for the expected points and eagerly note any alteration In text or busi ness. On this occasion old-timers saw other things done bcsldo the speech-making which assured them that Mr. Jefferson was not In sensible to the marks of approbation which were showered upon him. The community Is made up of his good friends ; nnd they unite In the hope that ho may live long , nnd prosper , and continue to charm them with the beauty of his art for many years yet to come. The old play has never been presented hero by so good a company. Indeed , Mr. Jefferson's support on his present tour Is exceptionally strong. It Includes Mary Shaw , a rarely capable artist , better known to theater-goers In Hoston nnd the east than hereabouts , who Invested the role of Gret- chcn with n dignity ami strength hitherto denied It ; John Jack , a veteran of nearly Mr. Jefferson's own length of stage ex perience , whoso Knlstaff was ono of the best characterizations of the fat knight ever seen In this country , and Gustavus Lcvlck , the worthy son of an honored father. It will be good news to music-lovers that W. T. Taber , who has not been much heard of Into upon his favorite Instrument , will noon Inaugurate a series of organ rectlnls similar to those wlilch have proved popular In other seasons. Arrangements have been perfected whereby these concerts will bo given In St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church every Sunday afternoon , and the first Is announced for October IS , nt 3:30 : p. m. "Darkest Russia , " which bears the unique distinction of being billed for four nights , commencing Sunday , mutlnce , October l.X nt both of the local play houses , Is exciting much comment , not only upon the merit of the production , but alto the novelty of the situation. In every way , It Is said , the play appeals to all classes of theater-goers. The story Is promised as being one of Interest , nnd discloses n series of stirring scenes and situ ations. The theme revolves around thu political system of Hussla , and shows the peculiar laws which govern the land. For four seasons the play has met with great success , and Is one of the most popular at tractions travelling. It Is said to bo beauti fully mounted and that an exceptionally strong company make up the cast. A most unique distinction Is held hy Otis Skinner. Ho was the first American actor to receive the degree of Master of Arts by virtue of accomplishment In hie profession. Ho received his M. A. from Tufts college , Cambridge , a little more than a year ago , Just prior to the conferring of a like degree upon tlio dean of the faculty. Joseph Jeffer son , by Harvard. Mr. Skinner's degree an tedates Jefferson's by about a fortnight. U Is n Rlgnltlcant Hlgn of social tendency when an Institution of learning sets Its seal ot approval on the achievements of an actor , and uhon the honored one Is a man who has upheld the best standards of his art and fought resolutely for the maintenance ot the high Ideals of the dramatist and the theater , the Justice of the tendency cannot he gainsaid. Although Ihe youngest of nil Ms confreres In his experience ns a star , Mr. Skinner has had n remarkable career. In two years ho has produced three new plays by native authors and revived two stundard works of Shakespeare. During the coming seabon he will present n new roman tic drama from his own pen , nnd add In his list of Shakespearean characters , "Illclmrd III" nnd "Komeo. " The repertory for Mr. Skinner's coming engagement , which opens at' the Crelghton tonight , l > .att been nrrnnged as follows : The opening play will he "Ham let ; on Friday night , "Ilomeo nnd Juliet will bo given ; nt the Saturday matinee , "The Lady of Lyons , " nnd Saturday night , Mr. Skinner will present his new , romantic play , "A Soldier of Fortune. " At the Crelghton for three nlghtn , com mencing Thursday evening. October 22 , "The flny Parisians. " Manager Charles Frohman's latest comedy1 success , will bo seen for the first tlmo In this city. It will bo presented by the same cast , headed by W. J. Ferguson nnd Sadie Martlnot , that originally presented It nt Hoyt's theater. New York. Its New- York run of five months would have been made Indefinite but for the fact of other engagements. In Hoston and Chicago long runs were also achieved. The furco. which Is even a greater success than "Charley's Aunt , " Is now being played In Ijondnn , Kngland , under the title of "A Night Out.
