AT THE THEATRE.
Bobort Downing presented "Tho Gladiatorat tho Lansing theatro
Monday evening, giving an elaborato presentation of what is to
most people, a tiresome play. "The Gladiator" and "Virginius" are
too melodramatically heroic to appeal with much effect to tho mod
ern taste. Stage declamation isn't tho vogue just now, Thomas W.
Keene to the contrary, notwithstanding. Mr. Downing is a most
painstaking urtint; but his endeavor does not go out along the prop
er lines. His company this season is not strong, particularly the
femalo part of it. Eugenio Blair must, it seems, be taken along
with Downing; she is not a competent actress.
Spink's new racing play, "Tne Derby Winner," with Arthur Dunn
ag tho principal comedian, was presented at tho Lansing Thursday
night. The author has borrowed many of his ideas from "The Hen
rietta,'' "In Old Kentucky," etc. and the play per se is notably weak.
It is saved from failure by some particularly clever work by the
company. Dunn was last seen here in Honderson's extravaganza
"Sinbad," in which with his whiskers he made a decided hit. He is
one of tho funniest comedians in this country. His fun is spontan
eous in much the same manner as Seabrooko3 or Francis Wil
son's. Dunn mide the play a success and provoked warmer applause
than is usually received from a Lincoln audience. But thero aro
other clover people in "The Derby Winner" besides Dunn. W.
Eldridgo, a real darkey, who plays Gillie Jones, a jockey, gave what
was, perhaps, the best dancing sketch ever put on the Lansing
stage. He is, in theatrical parlance, "a wonder." Frank Dayton
exhibited a newness in his part, Milt West. This actor was former
ly seen in Lincoln in "Shenandoah." Max Miller and J. P. Liee suc
ceeded in investing some new qualities of mirth in the Frenchman
and Duchman combination. Lee's dog in the pit story in the second
act was high art in its own line. Tbe racing feature of tho play was
inferior to the best of this class of plays.
A dollar quality for 75c; a 7.1c quality for 50c at Herpolsheimer &
