ANNOUNCEMENTS.
America has known no such success
as the side-splitting comedy "Charley's
Aunt.' The piece made a hit last sea
son and continued to maintain its popu
larity so that the musicians of the or
chestra have been obliged at every pre
sentation to play beneath the stage, and
thus make room for ticket buyers. A
success of such proportions demonstrates
clearly that there is something in "Charley's-
Aunt" which the public wants.
That something is wholesome fun, and
plenty of it, and this new candidate for
popular favor contains more of it than
any comedy seen here in years. It is a
simple thing, too, that causes most of it;
a man masquerading, and masquerading
in the most deliriously droll and awk
ward manner, in female apparel, with
scarcely any attempt whatever at mim
icking lady-like airs and graces. This is
where the fun comes in. A female im
personation, so called, would never be
half so humorous. Tne mirth-provoking
complications which arise from this
masquerading never flag for a moment
An instance in point is the dismay of
of two young lovers when they find their
sweethearts rapturously kissing the sup
posed old lady, the latter's face over
spread with a mingled expression of
amazement, and another is the scene
wherein the peeudo aunt, in whispers
not heard by the audience, imparts
what haB been said to her by a suitor in
whom she has inspired an enthralling
passion. The situation throws the
audience into convulsions because each
spectator imagine he knows exactly
what the suitor said. "Charley's Aunt"
has struck the country like a cyclone of
merriment, and will be seen at the Lan
sing theatre Tuesday, Oct. 22.
DeWolf Hopper and his merry comic
opera company in that dainty melange
of mirth and melody entitied "Wang,"
which for six consecutive months drew
large audiences at the Broadway thea
tre, New York, will be the magnet at the
Lansing theatre Thursday, Oct. 24.
There are elements of fun and humor
with here and there bright touches of
travesty, which contrive, together with
the efforts of a coterie of clever people
and a series of magnificent stage set
tings, augmented by brilliant costumery,
to make it one of the most acceptable
stage performances that has been seen
for years. That this fact was duly ap
preciated laot season by the vast army
of theatie goers, resident in New York,
Boston, Chicago and other large eastern
and western cities, the large attendance
during Mr. Hopper's engagements
wherever the tuneful opera was present
ed, fully indicates: The comedian's sup
port this season includes many well
known stage favorites, amorg which are
the clever soubrette, Edna Wallace
Hopper; the charming actress and sweet
singer, Bertha Waltzinger; the excellent
comediene, Alice Hosmer, as well as Ida
Lester, Edmund Stanley, T. S. Guise,
John Parr and diminutive "Wang," will
be appropriately staged, as all of the or
iginal scenery, costumes and mechanical
effects that marked its brilliant engage
ments in the large cities will be utilized
here.
The well known comic opera comedian,
DeWolf Hopper, is universally recogniz
ed as one of the great men of the day in
the theatrical profession. Apant from
bis pronounced versatility which makes
him equally at home in Shakespearean
or modern comedy, comic opera, bur
lesque or grand opera, he enjoys the
rare distinction of being equally popular
off as well as on the stage. He is un
doubtedly the best singer among comic
opera comedians. Before he had fully
determined upon his career in this field
of dramatic work, the late Henry Maple
eon offered him an engagement of five
years to sing grand opera in London.
Mr. Hopper is a delightful man to meet
in privato life. Ho is the soul of genial
ity, a ready and graceful conversation
alist, and is endowed with a most charm
ing and winning manner, He talks in
terestingly on almost any topic, and has
always at command an inexhaustible
!
m-&i. Iff
fund of graphic and humorous anec
dotes. His bright, good nature glim
mers through it all, and while he may
have rivals on the stage in popularity,
he is generally regarded asthe most pop
ular actar off the stage.
The sale of reserved seats and boxes
for the Hopper engagement will com
mence next Tuesday morning, Oct. 22,
at the box office.
Tuesday evening, Oct. 22, Lillian
Lewis will play "Cleopatra" at the
Funke. The Chicago papers say that
Miss Lewis has one of the most elab
orate scenic production on the road.
The company carries several carloads of
scenery and will not use any of the
Funke scenes. It is, of course, natural
that theatre goers should compare Miss
Lewis' productions with that of Miss
Fanny Davenport's, which was so well
received here, but it may be said that,
with the exception of the storm scene,
it will bear comparison very well. The
two stories are almost identical, barring
several minor details, and the death of
Antony. In Sardou's dramatization
Antony is made to die by the hands of
Caesar's soldiers, while Shakspeare
makes him die by his own hand. As a
piece of dramatic work, the former is
probably the most effective. It is the
first time in this city that a Shake
spearean dramatization of the story has
been Been. Miss Lewis has a most ad
mirable leading man in the person of
Edmund Collier, an actor of sterling
qualities, and who, as Antony, shares
almost equally with the star in the hon
ors of the performance. Mr. George
Wessek, as Enobarbus, also deserves
especial mention, his lengthy dialogue
in the second act, describing the charms
of Cleopatra, meeting with prompt ap
preciation from the audience. There
are several features introduced, the
most prominent of which was the bare
footed ballet, a kind of Trilbyesque
dance by six maidens in Egyptian
bloomers, altogether quite in lino with
the prevailing crazes. The participants
were not in one respect what one ex
pects of a ballet, inasmuch as they were
youthful and good to look upon, but no
one could register a protest on that ac
count. "The Old Homestead" will come to
the Lansing next Friday and Saturday,
Oct. 25 and 26. This sterling old play
has admirers everywhere and it is sure
to attract a large audience. It will be
presented by an admirable company
with elaborate scenery, eta, Friday and
Saturday of next week.
