Lust season some of the best class of
attractions refused to go farther west
than Chicago. And in the latter part of
tho season particularly many companies
that had booked to appear in this sec
lion cance'led their dates. Just now an
interesting question is, What will be the
attitude of the companies toward the
west, or tho far west tho coming season?
not fasten on her as a model. But the
present contention is particularly amus
ing in view of the fact that Duse was a
failure with the best public when she
acted first in London, and aroused no
great critical enthusiasm. Now the de
light that she has caused such laughable
observers as Bernard Shaw is to bo
compared only to tho delight which
some French actors gave him when they
played last winter at tho Opera Comique
in London. They were a survival of
the Theatre Libre of Antoine.and were
led by Luguo Poe. They acted in tho
plays by Ibsen and Matterlinck, and
flip cnanprv trne an ehnliliv 4fiit thn
Ibsenites were overwhelmed with the fcLfcr HONE 364
realism of tho performance. When

There -is a pretty satisfactory answer
to this query on the books of tho Lan
sing and Funke. When such attract
ions as the Charles Frohman companies,
Dave Henderson's extravaganza company
Nat Goodwin, Delia Fox, Paulino Hall,
Hermann, Roland Reed, tho Bostonians,
and Eddie Foy manifest their determin
ation to come to the west and to Lin
coln, it can be depended upon that the
rest will follow. Probably never before
have so ninny strong attractions been
booked for the local theatres so early as
is the case this year.

there was a great rent in tho canvass of
one of tho scenes, but it was not admit
ted that the shabbiness of the scenery
was strikingly natural and appropriate.

As a matter of fact it paid nearly all
of tho deserving companies to come to
Lincoln in the season of 91-93. Up to
the middle of April or the tirst of May
the attendance at both houses was very
good. After the adjournment of the
legislature business fell oh" considerably
and tho end of tho season was bad. A
rather good average was maintained,
however. With possibly one or two ex
ceptions both houses made money on
every good company. The losses wero
on attractions that in most instances
ought to have been sidetracked to
some town like Wahoo or Omaha
I saw it loo its tiny hold
UjKn the faded stem
And downward to the garden mould
It fluttered at my hem.
So painlessly it seemed to part
And so content to lie,
1 laid tho letson to my heart
That it wero thus to din.
Without regret to sinV to rest
Down at the Father's feet.
Whene'er to Him it seemeth best
In resignation sweet.

. An old anecedote of Edwin Forrest is
thus recalled There was one occas
6ion when Mr. Forrest received from
one of the supernumeraries of a theatre
an answer which seemed to satisfy him.
It was the mau's duty to say simply,
"Tho enemy is upon us,"' which ho ut
tered at rehersal in a poor, whining way,
"Can't you say it better than that"
shouted Forest. "Repeat it as I do.'
and ho gavo the words with all the force
and richness of Lis magnificent voice.
"If 1 could say it like that," replied
tho man I wouldn't bo working for
fifteen shillings a week."
"Is that all you get?"
"Yes."
"Well, then, 6ay it as you please."
Critical opinion in London, according
to one authority, is divided with amus
ing acrimony on the subject of Bern
hardt and Duse, who have both been
playing Sundermann's "Heimath" in
that city. The daily newspapers pro
nounced Bernhardt's performance a
much more striking and successful one,
but tho weeklies have called the French
actress in tho part exaggerated and stilt
ed, while they find Duse natural and
finely effective. Jf the critics of the
dailies had admired Duse, the weeklies
would undoubtedly have held up Bern
hardt in the piece. So the present
result is quite as satisfactory as any
could have been. At all events, Duse
has extended her engagement, and
Bernhardt, too, has been immensely
successful. The utter failure of "Gis
monda" in London, along with Beer
b dim Tree's unsuccessful attempts to
revive interest in "Fedora" caused the
advocates of "naturalism" to chuckle
with glee, and Sarah came in for her
share of their condemnation. The al
ways comic Bernard Shaw gravely
warns Mrs. Patrick Campbell that Bern
hardt and actresses of her school have
seen their day, and that she had better

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatenient. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of tho system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disea
se, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
