The Henshaw & Ten Broc ck cempany
in that popular musical comedy, "The
Nabobs." played to a fair business Sa'
urday aftemcoa and evening, February
6th.
The company was excellent, and the
music particularly fo. Mr. Henshaw in
the character of Ho will J. Dodge, dis
played his originality and hisifferves
cent comedy to great advantage. May
Ten Broeck is well known and as Mrs.
Dodge acted and sang well.
The work of Frank David, as Potter,
as particularly good. Tne textette
from Lucia de Uinmcrraour was a gem
in a musical way, and Mies Charlotta
and Sophia Witts did some exceedingly
good dancing. On the whole the per
formance was exceptionally clever and
the audiences were well pleased. The
company plays another ngagement in
three weeks and will doubtlcsi be greet
ed with a crowded house, which it eo
richly di serves.
A new comic opera star heading a
company bearing his name and appear
ing in a new opera whiih proved itself to
be an attractive one, was Uuncbed so
successfully last s-ason. t' at the mana
gers of simiar companies imaieSia e'y

withtbiir own productions. This was
the Frank Daniels Opera company in
-The Wizard of the Nile," which will
receive its first product on in tMs lity at
the Lansing theatre tonight for one

Frank Daniels has long been a suc
cessful cmrdy star at tve hed of bis

Englishmen as a rule do n t admit
that Americtn irs itutions are sup rior
to the Biit sh article. Fitzrqy Gardner,
manager of Beerlohm Tree, is an excep
tion. He says i he American Lewspap r
is far mora indispensable to success in
theatrical affairs than are lb. a English
journbls.
I wish,"' he said, " hat the London
dailies would pay as much atlenlnn to
diamatic affa'rs as the:r contemporaries
on this s'de do. I am not referring to
criticisms, for I have no complaint to
make on that t core, but to the columns
of gossip and comment which you Amer
icans publish, that's the material that
keeps public int'rest alive.
"In London," he continued, "the great
newspapers will give an exhaustive and
well writ en review of a new produc ion,
but then they are practica ly dote wiih
youuntl jou produce soint thing else.
With us, owing to the numterof long
runs we rtak", we get a criticism about
once in a blue moon and comparatively
no'hing to attract at ention to us in tho
meantime. A manager might get along
without the press in England, but never
in the United States."
