. -1, 1 1 ni' THE COURIER T WITH THE THEATRES NEW YORK. Oct. 18. The advent of Mascngnt nt the Metropolitan op era house Is the leading event to chronicle for the present week. Three new operas will be produced by him; they ar of hta own composition; "Zanetto," "Iris," and "Ratclif." The company Is brought from Italy and embraces some of the finest talent from there. "Zanetto" was produced on Wednesday night with preat suc cess. It is founded on Francois Cop pee's drama "Le Passant" and has been set by Mascagnl as a one-act opera with but two characters, Selvia, soprano, and Zanetto, mexio-soprnno. The opening of the Princess theatre under the management of the Shuberts took place on Monday night, October 6th, with Weedon Qrossmlth and an English company in a play written by this clever entertainer called "The Night of the Party." The play is very clever and put on in excellent taste, evidently pleasing the first nlghters. The theatre has been built so that It offers harmonious tone and atmos phere for the light comedies they pro pose to present there. At the Belasco theatre, formerly the Republic, Mrs. Carter in "Du Barry," Is keeping the house packed with the most select audiences. Mr. Belasco has outdone Mr. Hammersteln in the pro duction of a modern playhouse replete with tone and choice surroundings. Klaw and Erlanger, who purchased and took possession of the New York theatre on the 15th Inst., have pre sented a great amusement, an educa tional attraction, at this house, the like of which has never been seen before in this country. It is Carl Hagenbeck's trained animals direct from his great "animal educational school in Hamburg, Germany. Herr Hagenbeck exhibited" several groups of educated beasts in this country during the world's fair, but they could not possibly compare with those to be seen at the New Tork bow, either in numbers, variety of animals presented or novelty of feat ures. At the Knickerbocker theatre the "Rogers Brothers in Harvard" is prov ing one of the great successes of the season. At Wallack's Henrietta Crosman ap peared in a new play, "The Sword of the King;" very successfully. It Is by Ronald McDonald, a new English dramatist, whose work seems to be particularly liked. The scene is laid In England in 1653. Miss Crosman's part is that of a girl of wealth and station who disguises herself as a boy to assist in the cause of William ot Orange. The leading male role Is acted by Aubrey Boucicault. who was Miss Crosman's principal associate in "Mistress NelL." Also In the excellent company which Maurice Campbell has presented are: Barron Hill. Addison Pitt and Ida Vernon, of the earlier days, and of tha newer generation of actors, Sheridan Block. P. C Bertrand. Gertrude Bennett and others. At the Broadway "Sally in our Alley," which has proved itself an abundant success has been succeeded by "The Silver Slipper." In which Sam Bernard. Mrs. Hopper, Leysle Scott and other players, gathered together jby John C Fisher, act and sing. fe- At the Savoy theatre the regular season has been opened under the Frohman management by Miss Ethel Barrymore who came before the New Tork nubile first with "Captain Jinks" wondering whether she would be al-' lowed to name .herself as a star and stay awhile at the Garrick until they should tire of her and tell her to "run off and play on the road." The answer was a very pleasant one from the Frohmans who said that she might come before them and give them a taste of her quality. She was more than pleased with her reception, and it has been shown al ready that she has not worn out her welcome. Her success and thai of he playwright, Mr. Clyde Fitch, hns bsen demonstrated. Miss Knrry.rore ap pears at the Savoy in two new pJnys. "A Country Mouse." rin Knsllsh com edy by Mr, Arthur Law, nnd "Carrots." n curtnln miser from the French of M. Jules Rennrd. They are new plays hero but have previously found favor In London. The Law comedy had a long run at the Prince of Wales theatre where It was originally pro duced at the Criterion to which It was removed nnd again at the Prince of Wales, to which house It was again returned, it is still running. "Cnr.ots" was a success ot the theatre Anto'ne In Paris, where It had an extended cireer. In the main play of the evening Miss Barrymore plays the part of a denure, quick wltted country girl, the Country Mouse, who goes to London nnd ner adventures there nre the theire of the play. A Lady Silvia has married a rich member of parliament nnd brewer, who find that marrying Into the nr's tocracy Is not at all the" Jolly affair dcc)ded at once to postpone her open ing until late In the winter. Letters recvlvert from her are In the most cheerful vein and nre full of plans about her work. A cnble that came yesterday, said she was then on her way from Switzerland to France and that although feeling bolter her ner vous system had not been restored to strength nnd she became easily fa tigued. It was this cable which de termined Mr. Frohmnn to extend the time In which she may seek further restoration of her health and strength. Miss Adams was to have, opened at the Kinplre theatre In "As You Like It." "Dolly Vnrden," after going to Brooklyn for a week has returned to the Harlem opera house where it proves itself a strong attraction and will stay there for some time. At the Victoria, Alice Fischer ap pears us "Mrs. Jack," after a prosper ous run at Wnllnck's, where she Is joined by Creatore and his famous band. This combination of two of the conspicuous successes of the season is WINS FAME IN NEW MUSICAL NOVELTY j,yciB"D iSf m 5ft -sr.' S - - m r -?s-tf?

Miss May Cahlll Is one of the chief attractions of Lederer's new musi cal novelty, "Sally In our Alley." The play is making a big success at the Broadway theatre. New York. he hoped to find It. His wife, who takes a liberal view of her marital obliga tions, is not at all pleased to find that one of the young fellows with whom she has had a flirtation and has kept dancing attendance upon her, has fallen in love with the Country Mouse, and the story of the play turns upon what befell the. mouse among those with whom she found herself In Lon don drawing rooms. Miss Barrymore is support by Harry Davenport, who plays the part of an old roue; Arthur Elliot appears as Mr. Bruce McRae, who Is the country mouse's lover. Mr. Arthur Elliot, who is the unhappy brewer, snubbed by the aristocracy, finds comfort In smoking a cigar with the old butler and Adelaide Prince ap pears as Lady Lylols. Miss Maud Adams will not begin her season in November. Charles Froh man, after recefving word from Miss Adams that her nervous system, upon which extraordinary calls have been made, needed further time for repairs, offered at one price for a limited run. "Mrs. Jack" succeeds herself at second leading theatre In New York and proves as strong in public favor as at the Herald Square. "The Emerald Isle" continues the same brilliant suc cess as ever and at the Casino "A Chinese Honeymoon" is running to un precedented lengths. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who has been appearing in "Aunt Jeannle," at the Garden theatre, now appears as "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" again at the same theatre. It was as Paula Tan queray that Mrs. Campbell achieved her first great success in London and familiar as the play is, it still remains in her repertory as one of the most popular of her many roles. At Keith's Union Square theatre there is music by the Fadette's orches tra of Boston women, which is only one of many strong features. Eva Willams and Joe Tucker render "Driftwood," which is an East side idyll, and Sam Ryan appears with Tom Lewis as a sketch team In n musical farce called "The Major and the Judge." There are many old favorites still on tho bill. Herbert E. Clamp. THE STORY CONTEST. The Judge of the story contest. In which eight stories have been offered, has been considering their merits.
