Mr. Tucker eaog at the Univerealist
church last Sunday. Mr. Tucker has,
one may say with safety, the most sym
pathetic male voice in the city. Mr.
Randolph's shows excellent training,
but cannot more; it lacks thrill and
resonance. It does not warm. Mr.
Movius has a voice that is deep, reson
ant. His use of it is eminently artistic
but it, too, delights, rather than rouses.
Mr. Tucker has the sympathetic qual
ity. This does not meai. that be has it
wonderfully, or even greatly. He has
it. Consequently, one is glad to hear
him sing. His stage manner is un
pleasant. His singing, while it pleases
the ear, offends the eye. To enjoy it,
one has to look the other way. This is
a pity, especially when a little diligent
practice might remedy it.
Schubert's "Grand March Heroique"
seemed to lack the grand and tho
heroic It lacked the power that such
a work seems to demand. The most
satisfying music on the program were
the "Romanza" and "Scherzo" of Schu
bert, and the "Sarabanda" of Bach.
Mr. Hagenow's solo playing is too well
known to need particular commont. Its
merit is in force and interpretation, its
lack in smoothness and even Eweetn:ss
of tone.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
It is now about sixteen years Brce an
actor lay ill of rheumatism in Pittsburg.
He had no money, he had been too gen
erouB, too sympathetic for the distress
of others to have been able to accumu
late any money, and what was worse,
the disease he was Buffering from
threatened to incapacitate him for any
future work in his profession. A man
must be agile and nimble to be of much
use on the stage. He knew, however,
that it would not mend matters to
worry, bo he turned his thoughts on
pleasanter things. The tortured actor
let his thoughts take him to that far
away New Hampshire homestead, where
four generations of his ancestors had
lived, and where he had seen so many
happy days as a boy. He brought to
his bed of pain, tho shaded lunen, the
dusty rodds, tho billy pastures, J ho
peaked roof school house, the meeting
house and the familiar faces at Swan
zey, and in spite of his pain, he lived
again amid the scenes of boyhood. He
thought so much of the little New
Hampshire village and of th home
stead where his father and mother still
lived, and when he became well again,
he could not drive them from his mind,
and tho impulse grew strong within
him to weave into a story the incidents
of a sweet country life, which bad be
guiled him as he lay on his bed, wrapped
in pain.
i he actor was Denman Thompson and
the play was "The Old Homestead."
This afternoon and evening "The Old
Homestead" will Le presented by an ex
cellent company at the Lansing.
Manager Church will present to his
patrons ono of tho most successful and
gorgeous productions, the famous spec
tacle "Tho Black Crook." Wednesday
and Thursday evenings of next week,
October .'50 and 31. Tho popular favor
accorded spectacles 'in this country has
resulted in placing this grand bid play
before the public in such a noteworthy
and costly manner, surpassing all tho
most famous European productions;
this may justly be claimed by "The
Black Crook.' which was revived at tho
New York Academy or Music two years
ago; and throughout the principal cities
last year and up to the present time it
has been most successful, owing to the
lavish manner in which tho promoters
have mounted tho spectacle. It Bur
passes anything in its line ever seen at a
popular price theatre in this country,
and is now, for the first time in this
city, and at popular prices. The com
pany which will appear at the Lansing
next week is exceptionally strong, num
bering 200 people. Among the principal
European novelties may be mentioned
Rexo and Meno, the contortion marvels;
Oporto, the great, in his Aladdin
changes; tho Brothers Rixford. the cel
ebrated Russian acrobats; Mile. Leon
tine, Mile. Craske and Sarocco, three of
the most celebrated premieres ever
brought to this country, an army of
beautiful and lithesome coryphees, will
be seen bedecked with exquisite cos
tumes of the rarest and most expensive
fabrics; gorgeous oriental ballets, elab
orate scenery, and bright and catchy
music. This production will positively
eclipse any previous attempts to place
before tho public a perfect show.
Theatre-goers are preparing to laugh
at "Old Hoss" William Hoey, who will
be seen in his new comic play, "The
Globe Trotter," at the Lansing on Mon
day and Tuesday nights, October 23-29.
"Old Hoss," like wine, improves with
each successive year; we look at him
and laugh, hear him and roar, then
wonder what we were laughing at, and
while we are wondering we go off again.
There is something so solemnly unctu
ous about Hoey, so indefinably amus
ing, that it disarms criticism and defies
analysis. Hoey's new play gives him a
much wider range of opportunity than
he has ever had before. Of course we
are to have him as "Old Hoss." What
play with Hoey in it would be complete
without the character he has made so
popular? But in addition to thta Hoey
masquarades as a woman, a deaf and)
dumb woman, bewigged, powdered and,
gowned in the most approved fashion.
Hoey's ardent admirers can hardly im
agine what kind of a woman he wil
make. That she will be funny, we ar5
assured. For forty minutes it is said hj.
does not say a word, but his newl'
acquired ability as a pantomimist pro
duces even more laughter and enjoj
ment than ever before. Hoey wears
$1,000 Worth costume in which he de
murely tumbles down a flight of stair
with the utmost composure and withou
disturbing tho pipe-organ folds of hi
godet skirt. In the third act of "Tb
Globe Trotter" Hoey gives us a ne'
English swell, new in make-up, bi
with the same old Bwagger, don't yo
know, and singing the same old favo.
ite, "The Man Who Broke the Bank at
Monte Carlo." Hoey also sings a new
song called, "I Went to Paris With
Papa." which bids fair to become equally
gipular with the old favorite. Mr.
oey's company includes Frederic Bry
