2 THE COURIER T HEATRES NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Again this Mason there Is a probability of some record ram being made by plays In the metropolis. "A Chinese Honeymoon" seems to crow sweeter the longer It lasts, and its marriage with the Casino promises to be almost perpetual. It Is truly one of pie most dainty genu our stage has ever seen. Nearly four months have now elapsed smce "A Country G4rl" made her ap pearance In New York at Daly's theatre, and the bloom of her youthful Innocence Hinmlsrs to charm New Yorkers through aH the wintry nlghls, while at the same time her counterfeit presentment In Lon don has passed the three hundred night mark. The recent attendance of the Phi Tneta in a body at Daly's during their convention la -New York was a stunning mark f approval shown this delightful esfermg. Another of the big spectacles for which the Broadway has been so justly famous has made a signal hit there, and "The Hlver Slipper" is likely to prove so strong an attraction that it will hold the beards aa tea as "Florodora" did In this etty, which was produced under the same management that of John C Fisher. An American actress, and an American play, the latter remarkable for Its ac curate depiction of several characters In the Four Hundred, well known to New Yorkers, constitute the double attraction at the Garden theatre, where "Among Those Present," a four-act comedy by GHen MacDonougb, is presented at the hands of Mrs. LeMoyne. The play has been polished into form by a month's preliminary tour in Canada, New York and New England. The scenes of -Among Those Present" are laid respect ively in Mrs. Clinton's country place at Middle Hampton, Long Island, within a tent erected for the purposes of an ama teur circus on her lawn, In the society leader's hardly completed Fifth avenue mansion, and in the bachelor quarters of LmmTml W i bw Bmm' mrrsa B - V"1 v mmsFmV Pssaxi s v ajmBssftsa v9Bjujn a a x nhhhnaV Ba Brnm mv'WTmmmaE lkHv s Nmmsl II mmms y v3 Cn1 sSsmmml f Blfi) MABEL QiUlAN ffcSJj Maybelle Gilman, who has been play ing leading roles In prominent New York theatres for the past four seasons, now hursts out as a star.

The opening of Hall Calne's "The Eter nal City," at the Victoria theatre, is one f the most Important events of the resent season. Since Miss Allen opened in Washington her short tour has been a triumphal procession, and her recep tion la New York most gratifying. The perfection of every detail of the presen tation is wonderful, involving a piece of stagecraft the like of which has probably never been seen before. To those who have been In Rome its remarkable ac curacy is overpowering. Even the into nation of the bells of St Peter's is abso lutely correct, as Is also the march music f the ceremony in which the pope fig ures, as well as the Garibaldi and Royal marches. The grandeur of the presenta jsten cannot be expressed It should be seen to be felt.

K. Hackett has made such a phenome nal success on the road. Originally pro duced at Pittsburg on March 3d, "The Crisis" has proved the most successful of the young actor-manager's produc tions, and practically crowded "Don Caesar's Return" out of his repertoire, although produced this season merely to retain Mr. Hackett's rights to the Churchill play.

Mary Mannerlng, in her new play by Clyde Fitch, "Stubborness of Geraldlne," is scoring a distinct success. She is now appearing at the Garrett theatre. New York, and will visit all the principal theatrical centers as soon as the New York dates are completed. period have seldom been popular, "The Crisis" scored great success, and was hailed by both critics and play-goers as one drama that represented the south as well as the north truthfully and fairly. Mr. Churchill has achieved a re markable feat for a literary man a per fect stage version of his own story.-which develops great dramatic strength with out doing violence to the original. Mr. Hackett interprets the play with remark able force, and Is now seen at his best At Mrs. Osborne's little playhouse, "Tommy Rot," which consists of a lot of clever satires on modern society folk, still holds the boards. It Is being care fully re-written and Improved by Paul West, and will then doubtless continue a long and prosperous run. x At the Bijou "An American Invasion" has been succeeded by a new romantic comic opera called "The Mocking Bird," in which Mabelle Gilman stars. The cast Is an extremely strong one, and a long run is predicted for the new production.

John Griffith, the popular tragedian, famous for his work as a star in Faust, Richard m. the Gladiator, etc.. has been engaged by Arden Benedict to tour the country in a revival of Shakesperian plays. Macbeth will be the first produc tion staged, and the settings will be un usually elaborate. of Magdala," seems to make the circle of metropolitan attractions complete. Mrs. Fiske never had a more attractive part than her present one. and the reception tendered her by her large New York audience was most gratifying. "Mary of Magdala" promises to be a standing metropolitan attraction for a long time. At the New York theatre, "Everyman," Charles Frohman's morality fifteenth, century drama, succeeded Carl Hagen beck's wonderful trained, animahv, the most remarkable exhibition of. its kind ever made in New York. "Everyman" is. succeeded by "The Wild Rose," which,' after shedding its perfume out of town, returns to bloom anew for Its many, many friends in the metropolis. William Gillette of the Knickerbocker theatre is repeating with the ever popular "Sherlock Holmes" the success be won three years ago at the Garrlck and last year at the Lyceum theatre in London. The charm of "Sherlock Holmes," with Its thrilling Incidents and the charm of Mr. Gillette's Impersonation of the fam ous detective, are potent as drawing cards, and even the most, blase And a new sensation in following the adven tures of the detective. Miss Elizabeth Tyree will begin on Nov. 24th rehearsals of "Gretna Green," the romantic comedy by Grace Livings ton Furniss, in which she will make her debut as a star on Jan. 15th at the Madi son Square theatre under the direction of Mr. Henry B. Harris. With each parsing week, the popular ity of the English farce, "The Night of the Party," now being played at the Princess theatre, New York, by Weedon GroBsmlth and his company,, appears, to be Increasing. At nearly every perform ance the house is crowded, and It is a notable fact that the class of patrons is made up of the most fashionable people of New York and the surrounding cities.

Pauline Frederick, the society girl on tour with "The Roger Brothers in Har vard," has with her a retinue of serv ants thai .would look pretentious for many a prima donna. This is Miss Frederick's latest photograph, showing the aristocratic actress In her latest role. is a revelation. There is probably no actor in America with whom he can be justly compared, although Nat Good win's quiet methods of comedy suggest those of Mr. Grossmlth, while there are times when one sees in William Collier a second edition 'of the Englishman. Wm. Faversham's appearance at the Empire theatre in H. V. Edmond's new play, "Imprudence," brings back to the metropolis one of the most charming and. favorite actors. Mary Mannerlng, at the Garrlck, con? tinues to delight large audiences with her vclever work in Clyde Fltch'B new play, "The .Stubbornness of Geraldlne." At the Herald Square theatre, Martin Harvey still" continues playing to full houses. The concluding pieces of his repertoire are "Rouget d'Isle," a one-act curtain raiser, and "The Cigar Maker's Romance," a dramatization of Marion Crawford's story. Richard Mansfield will follow Martin Harvey with his Julius Caesar, the most powerful of his studies to date. Charles Emerson Cook, who is general business representative of the Belasco theatre, and of David Belasco's attrac tions, is in Washington preparing for the opening of David Belasco and John Luther Long's play, "The Darling of the Gods," in which Blanche Bates will be starred this -year by Mr. Belasco.
