THE THEATRES.
The political editor of The Cockier
said something last week about how
men achieve success in politics. He in
timated that manipulation and hard
work are often more effective than
simple merit. There is, I believe, no
doubt of it. The stage has done much
to throw the strong light of publicity
on American politics, quite as much,
perhaps, as literature. Such plays as
Mr. Hoyt's "A Texas Steer,'' "The
Mighty Dollar,' (William J. Florence's
great play,) and "The Senator" in which
William H. Crane recently appeared,
may be slightly overdeveloped pictures of
practical politics, but they have shown
in a particular effective manner how
political wires are pulled. The impres
sion left by them on tho popular mind
is much more vivid than that produced
by any of tho political novels of which
there have been so many in the last
quarter-century.
Some readers of The Courier will
remember "For Congress" in which the
late John T. Raymond appeared as Gen
eral Josiah Limber. This play, writ
t ten by David Demorest Lloyd, was first
produced in Washington, D. C, in 1883.
It wasa powerful satire on modern politi
cal methods, and I am reminded of a pas
sago in it by what the political editor
said about the men who secure nomi
nations for office. In the second act
General Limber thus discourses to three
or four of "the boys" "Now, boys, I
want Wooley's nomination to be as
spontaneous as we can make it. John
I want you to propose Peter Wooley as
a compromise candidate on the ground
of his deep interest in politics. Then
Torn, want you to get up and say you
know positively Mr. Wooley will not ac
cept the nomination, and 'if any man
dare dispute it, meet me outside?' If
any of them get up to go out you remain
where you are! Then, John, you make
another of your grand efforts and say
that is the very reason he ought to be
nominated; that the office should 6eek
the man, and not the man the office.
You're familiar with that tune! Then,
Joe, you demand Wooley's nomination
in the interests of economy and reform.
Throw your whole weight on reform.
We are all reformers now! Then cast
the vote of your county for Wooley, you
ditto, and then holler! Tell all the boys
to boiler, and we'll start a stampede for
old Pete that will beat Miggs to pieces.
But remember, boys, it must be spon
taneous," And I suppose Wooley's nomination
was just about as "spontaneous" as the
sudden elevations that we have ceea in
Lancaster county and NebrasKa politics
But I know nothing about politics, and
merely make this quotation for the ben
efit of the political editor.
The Journal's Beatrice correspondent
said Sunday that "Mrs. Henry Guy
Carleton, of Xew York, and her mother,
Mrs. Gordon May, of Chicago, will ar
rive in thn city Monday on a visit with
the latter's daughter, Mrs. E. W.
Clancey. They will remain in the city
some time and will be joined later by
Mr. Carleton."
Mrs. Henry Guy Carleton was former
ly Miss Olive May, of Beatrice, and is
perhaps the most successful of the many
young men and women from this btate
who have sought fame on the stage.
For a year or two after she was grad
uated from an eastern theatrical school
she played with Stuart Robson, and ap
peared with that actor tho last timo ho
presented "The Henrietta" in Lincoln.
Then Mr. Carleton, one of the most
brilliant playwrights in the country,
made a contract to write a play for John
Drew, who had recently left Mr. Daly's
company. Miss May was to have a part
in the new play, and the author must
have already been susceptible to the
charms of the young actress, for when
"Tho Butterflies" vas finally produced
in Xew York it was found that her part
was almost as important as Mr. Drew's
a fact not altogether to tho latter's sat
isfaction, it is said. It wasn't a great
while after this that Miss May became
Mrs. Carleton.
Mies Cecil Spooner was duo to appear
in "The Circus Girl" last night at the
Funke. She will conclude her engage
ment tonight appearing in "Tho nidden
Hand" There will bo a matinee this
afternoon at 2, when the bill will be
"Mab".
Henry Irving having been knighted it
is now proposed to have him stand for a
seat in parliament. Such a plan of
getting rid of actors might be employed
in this country with profit. We could
take quarrelsome Richard Mansfield and
ranting Tom Keene and the elephantine
Robert Downing, for instance, and give
them some sort of an honorary title and
then dump them into congress. The
process wouldn't hurt congress any and
it would do the theatre-going public a
vast quantity of good.
Henry Irving will appear at Abbey's
Xew York theater, Oct. 28; John Hare,
Dec. 23; and Sarah Bernhardt, Jan. 20.
"Sinbad," by the American Extrav
aganza Company, will start on the road
early in September. A strong organi
zation has been got together by Mana
ger David Henderson.
Mr. Wilde is picking oakum, and at
nearly all the principal theaters in Lon
don his plays are being produced. A
great change of sentiment is visible al
ready. Wilde's name is on all the play
bills in largest of large letters.
"Charley's Aunt" has reached Portu
gal and is attracting largo audiences to
an Oporto theater, under the name of
"A Madrinha do Charlee. " With the
exception of a play of Shakespeare's,
this is the first time in years that an
English drama has been performed on
the Portuguese stage.
Tim Murphy, who had a hard row to
hoe last season as a star, will make
another bid for favor in tho fall. He
has secured "A Texas Steer'' from Hoyt
and McKee and will again be seen in
his famous character creation. Hon.
Maverick Brander. Another Hoyt
moneymaker, "A Trip to Chinatown,"
has been leased to Burt Haverly and
Laura Biggar.
E. II. Sothern, who is going to present
Edward Rose's dramatic version of An
thony Hope's "The Prisoner of Zenda."
at the Lyceum Theater in September,
has just received news of the first per
formance "on any stage" of that play in
London. It was produced for copyright
purposes at tho Opera Comique at a
matinee. The drama consists of a pro
logue and four acts, and is said to be ex
ceedingly clever. Tho part of the hero
was played by H. B. Irving, son of Sir
Henry, and that of tho heroin? by Miss
Davis Webster, daughtor of the poetess,
Augusta Webster. Tho cast must have
been rather quaint, for it included five
dramatists.
Mrs. Charles Hoyt Carolino Miskel
was able last week to go out for tho first
time in nearly six months. During all
that period she waB confined to her bed
with an exceedingly stubborn and pain
ful attack of rheumatism. She has
been for the most part under the care
of two trained nurses, and there have
been frequent consultations of eminent
physicians regarding her case. Tho as
surance is now given that Mrs. Hoyt
will bo able to appear in tho autumn in
Mr. Hoyt's new play, "A Satisfied
Woman." She has had a hard timo of
it, but has eudured her sufferings with
raro fortitude.
