Mr. Zehrung gave his time exclusively to the bookings for his theatre, and was successful in securing a fine list of attractions. Many of the latest things in theatricals as well as the old time star attractions are booked for appearance at the Funke, and when Mr. Zehrung makes his de tailed announcement a few weeks later it will be seen that ho bus had excellent success in arranging for the season of 95-96. The formal opening of the Funke has been fixed for September 4, when Roland Reed, an old favorite in Lincoln will present "The Politician" Young Ureston Clarke is, I understand, among the recent bookin gs at the Funke. This actor .has much to recommend him in the fact that he is a son of the noted John Sleeper Clarke who achieved distinction in such parts as Bob Acres, and a nephew of Edwin Booth. He has played important parts with his father and with Booth, who gave him the benefit of careful instruction in the legitimate. Mr. Clarke has starred in "Hamlet" and other Shakespearean plays. He played Romeo to the Juliet of Minna Gale, now Mrs. Haynes, in this city, some years ago. He also appeared as Orlando during the same engagement if I remember correctly. Mr. Clarke is a lithe, agile youg man, as was evidenced in the balcony scene in "Romeo and Juliet'' as presented by the Gale-Clarke company in this city. It is said that Miss Gale made a wager with Clarke that he would not or could not climb up to the balcony in full view of the audience. He accepted the wager and certain critical persons in the audience were shocked to see the nephew of Edwin Booth shin up the post like a monkey. The balcony scene was rendered very realistic. Miss Gale was visibly overcome. During the coming season Mr. Clarke will it is announced, appear in one or two pop ular plays. Helen Bertram who has been heard in this city in "Poor Jonathan" and other operas will sing with the Bostonians the coming season. In Gladys Wallis' "Fanchon" com pany will be Frederick Paulding, Edwin 'Brewster, R. F. McClannin, David Seymour, John Ready, Robert Hartley, J. J. McOabbe, Miss Lillian Andrews, MiBS Florence Lillian Wiches, Miss Alma Stuart Aiken and Miss Grace Gibbons. Joe Cawthorn, the German comedian, who will star in a "Fool for Luck" will open his season in Kansas City Aug. 12 Sousa is suffering from the same afflictions that made Theodore Thomas miserable during his whole musical career, and from all accounts the great band director is quite as unpopular with certain ladies as the noted orches tral impressario. Since Sousa has be come all the rage, he is beset with in vitations to visit private houses, where he is made the hero of pink tea gather ings. As a rule ho declines, but now and then it happens that he cannot avoid going, and his cup of misery is quickly tilled to the brim. Nearly each of these gatherings is arranged for the purpose of introducing the famous march composer to some local lady celebrity who has composed an opera, an oratorio, or at least a march. All the amenities of hospitality are at once brushed aside in order to give the local composer a chance to be heard by the band master, and Sousa is compelled, nolens volens, to glue himself to a chair in order to experience the excruciating pleasuro of hearing a person who knows nothing of tho rules of composition dis courso a dreary lot of bad music. This experience used to try Thomas's patienco to the utmost, and his unpopularity is chieffy due to his frankness in dealing with amateur composers. Sousa, who used to possess tho most amiablo dis position, has had his feelings so out raged repeatedly by designing givers of pink teas that he has forfeited his wel come at a number of homes where onco he was worshipped as something only a degree inferior to a musical divinity. He has had the boldness to tell a dozen or so rivals of Beethoven that hey ought to stick their compositions into tho stove es unfit for production, either in public or private, and local pride has been waxing wroth and uttering dictums of excommunication upon tho head of the writer of "The Washington Post March." Tho only band master who ever succeeded in win ning this element of musical society in tho United States over to him was Gil more. He never hesitated to try a local composition, recognizing local composi tions and local pride as unavoidable factors in his musical pathway, which required gentle dealing and exceptional tenderness in handling. It was not always agreeable to his critical patron but Gilmore was so conscientious that he could attempt things upon the in dulgence of his audienco which would bring disaster to any other band master. The principal scenes in some of tho plajs to be acted next season are in some instances, writes a correspondent in New York, really novel, while in others they are ingenious variations of old ideas. The piece with which Neil Burgess will open the Star theatre is a comedy of ancient Roman times, and contains chariot and boat races by means of machinery which he has invented, as he did the horse race in "The County Fair." Instead of having foregone conclusions, these contests will be genuine, so that spectators may make bets if they wish to. Mr. Burgess playing a comic character iu a toga, will be odd and doubtless amusing. The theme of "The City of Pleasure," the French melodrama to be given in Eng lish at the Empire, is not unlike that of "The Two Orphans," inasmuch as it concerns the adventures of a tempted and maltreated girl in Paris. An epi sode of the Mexican war, the storming of the Chapultepec by tho American forces, will be shown in "Mexico," a piece by Milton Royle. Another elaborate battle scene n ill bo given in "Burmab," a military melodrama brought brought from London. "Heart of Maryland," by David Belasco, to be produced at the Herald square, has "Currew Shall Not Ring To-night" worked into its story. The heroine climbs to a belfry, and clinging to the clapper of the bell prevents the signal for her lover's death. Augustus Thomas's "The Capital" has to do with political and social life in Wash ington, and so does a new comedy in which Stuart Robson is to impersonate the inventor of an electrical war ship. In "The Silver Lining" Fitzgerald Murphy depicts a strike of riotous laborers and its adjustment by moral suasion. Thn farce which Paul Potter tnd Bill Nye are writing embodies the comic adventures of hunting and fishing in the Adirondacks. John J. McNally is putting hotel fun into the "Night Clerk" for Peter F. Daily, and wicow fun into "The Widow Jones" for Mav Irwin. BURR A BURR. Atty's at law. Burr Block. 'First publication July 27.
