,.a nr. I Lf Till 1'i i V7 iflfiS Pi s Mr. J. K. Emmet, who In the few years of his stage career has almost reached the summit of popular favor which hla Jather so long held, will make hla advent as A star In this city at the Grand Opera House to-morrow night, presenting "Fritz In a Madhouse," which Is said to be the . tnost entertaining of the "Fritz" series. Young Emmet has an agreeable personal ity, much, dramatic talent and a good Voice. The atmosphere of sunshine and merriment that has always formed a part of J. K. Emmet's delightful production of "Fritz" la undoubtedly due in a la e measure to the presence of I1I3 bright little companions, the children. Mr. Emmet undoubtedly realizes that the winning innocence of the little tots forms a part of the genial personality and Innocence of "Fritz," for in "Fritz in a Madhouse" he has retained the child Interest and made It as Important a feature of his environment as !n other versions of "Fritz." The supporting company 13 an excellent one, and includes the following well-known names: Mr. Charles Bowser, B. It. Graham, J. V. Hague, Charles Stedman, II. V. Orinkley, Miss Emily Lytton, Miss Blanche Weaver, Mrs. Fanny Denman-Rouse, Miss Edith Evelyn and baby Spencer SInnott. The yiece is givea a special scenic production. "A Ilreeiy Time" ut Englinh The attraction at English's to-morrow night, continuing until Thursday, will be the new farce-comedy, "A Breezy Time," which even in these days of theatrical headship has, from all accounts, enjoyed continuous prosperity. The principal performers in the company are Mr. E. B. Fltz, an unctuous comedian, and Miss . m ' 1 A i - . xvu liii 11 eusier, a souureue wno is pretty and clever. In the company are a quintet of vocalists, and an octet of mandolin players, who have made a decided hit. Strange 3ls It may seem. In spite of the fact that it is a farce-comedy. "A Breezy Time" has a plot. It concerns a young Boston student, who I3 followed to Vermont by the girl he loves and by numerous creditors whom he does not love. These creditors appear in Various disguises for the purpose of checkmating the hero, but, as Is well known, heroes are never checkmated. The rest of the plot Is not disclosed, but it Is said that curing its unfolding the various characters appear in amusing complications, during which they present various novel and amusing specialties. George Thatcher "Africa" Coming. The Grand will have a notable comedy, attraction the latter part of next week, when George Thatcher and his big company Will present, for the first time. In this city, the new spectacular operatic extravaganza. mvcf il n mvu uuo VI &tV'll&LllUll lias Scored such a decided hit wherever it has "been seen. The libretto of the piece was written by Clay M. Greene and J. Cheever' Goodwin, who have provided a story that is Interesting and consistent, and, at the same time, allows of an unusual amount of comedy, musical and scenic embellishment. he comedy portion of the piece Is In the hands of such recognized fun makers as George Thatcher, Otis Harlan, John A. Coleman. Charles Stlne, John Daly, Harry Moore. E. C. Jobson, Gertrude Reynolds, Blanche Hayden, Helen and Henrietta ByluurT Ton. Florence Raymond and others. The vocal staff embraces It. J. Jose, Charles II. Jlopper, H.W.Frillman, Tho. Lewis, Laura Millard, Jennie Scott and a chorus of over forty voices, the entire organization beiru? on of the largest and most complete of the kind ever seen in the city. From a Fpectacuiar point of view, "Africa" also takes high rank. All the settings for the live scenes of the production are carried by the company. The three most effective scenes are those representing the grounds of the Maplesdale Hunt Club, the dock Of the steamer Moses Merrill and the interior of the African juntrle. In the latter (kcene is introduced one of the most unique as well as greatest novelties ever seen in a presentation of the kind. In this scene me- r.Mivti-r 01 ir.e piece nas oeen captured by "bogus" Zulus, who celebrate their victory by a "feast dance." This dance Is participated in by six trained acrobats, and the many startling feats thev perform are something truly wonderful. The dance Is introduced in such a natural and approfriate manner that it cannot be really ooked upon as a specialty, but actually becomes a factor in the development of the plot. Gorgeous and appropriate costumes make all these scenes most effective and add not a little to the enjoyment of the whole. The entire production Ifi under the personal stage direction of Mr. Napier jothlan. jr.. who has staged some of the largest productions that ever came out of Kew York. -The IlUtrlct Fnir" nt the Park. The attraction at the popular Park Theater all this week, opening with the matinee to-morrow, wilt be the latest of A. Y. Pearson's productions. "The District Fair," which is from the pen of Edwin Barbour, and it is said to ! one of the best productions of its kind on the stage. It has enough of the sporting element In it to make a sporting drama; such as the great hurdle race, where two horses jump over several hurdles at full speed and In full view of the audience, yet it protrays characters which are said to be full of pathos and comedy, and which are familiar to everybody. The scenes are laid in New England, and are entirely different from any yet produced. The play leads up to the district fair, which Is to come off in a New England town. One of the most striking scenes is where the horse "Victor" is locked up in a burning blacksmith shop, and the jockey, llndins he cannot break the strong oak door, covers tht? horse's head with his coat, jumps on his back and 1ashs throtijrh the door at full sreel. smashing the strong oak door Into splinters. The scenery is entirely new and carried by the management. MIna Mnrloue's Engngement. The announcement that Miss Marlowe Is to play at the Grand Opera House, an entire week, beginning one week from tomorrow night, will be a pleasurable one to theater-goers who are Interested in the higher forms of dramatic work, ami particularly in this gifted and attractive young artiyt. Now In her rlfth year as a star, the has attained that eminence in her profession which only a genius for acting and

mre personal loveliness ran command. In the line of characters, which she will preFent here, (a different one at every performance), -she will have an opportunity to display that versatility which has made her famous as an Impersonator of Shakspearean heroines. The repertoire will be as follows: Monday evening and Saturday matinee. Sheridan Knowles's fine old comely. "The Love Chase;" Tuesday evening, Shakspeare's charming sylvan idyll. "As You Like It;" Wednesday, Knowi'os's standard drama. "The Hunchback;" Thursday, Shakspeare's most brilliant comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing;" Friday. Shakspeare's whimsical ma.vjue, "Tvelfth NiKht;" Saturday, "Romeo and Juliet." Seats will be on sale for Miss Marlowe's engagement next Thursday morning. Decadence of Mlnstrelny. The engagement of Mr. George Thatcher and his company at the Grand next week bring3 to mind the fact that there Is a continual revoluton in the theatrical business, and that the man who is convulsing an audience with laughter this season may next be seen in a role that draws heavily on the emotional side of nature. For many years the name of George Thatcher stood at the head of that once popular style of entertainment, minstrelsy. His first appearance In black face was In 1S63, and Baltimore was the city in which he made his debut. Subsequently he joined the famous San Francisco Minstrel Company, then in the acme of their career. Including at the time four of the greatest men who ever hid behind burnt cork Billy Birch, Dave Wambold, Charley Backus and Billy Bernard. He remained with this organization for four years. It was with this company that Thatcher made his great reputation, awl year after year he has hecome a. greater favorite and secured a stroncer hoM on the amusetnent-iovinR public. About four years ago Thatcher noticed that there was a waning of interest in the style of amusement of which he was the leading exponent, and he immediately cast about for something that would be a novelty and at the same time not entirely removed from minstrelsy, for which he still cherished a very warm affection. The outcome of this was the minstrel farce-comedy "Tuxedo," in which his company, allied to the Rich and Harris Comedy Company, have done a tremendous business the past two seasons. Having taken one step away from minstrelsy. Thatcher found his new departure entirely to-his liking. He then began speculating on getting away from the minstrel business entirely. The idea took such a firm hold on him that it was not long before he and his associates, Messrs. Hieh and Harris, had formulated plans by tvhich Thatcher's company should next be seen in extravaganza in which there should not be the slightest suggestion of minstrelsy. The services of Clay M. Greene and J. Cheever Goodwin were enKai?ed to write the book of the contemplated production, and they were given carte blanche to choose subject and embellishments, the only stipulation being that they should provide ?. sufficient number, of characters to give good opportunities to the large cast that was expected to appear In the piece. The furnishing of the score was intrusted to Mr. Randolph Cruger, and in due time the manuscript was handed to the promoters of the new enterprise. Eventually the piece was produced in San Francisco, where it scored an instantaneous hit. In that city, as well as in others where the piece has been seen, it has been clearly demonstrated that Thatcher's departure from the field of minstrelsy was a wise one, for no presentation in which he has ever appeared has given more peneral satisfaction than the new spectacular operatic extravaganza, "Africa," In which he and his clever company are seen to better advantage than anything in which they have ever appeared. By the end of this season Thatcher, the comic opera comedian, will be as firmly established in the theatrical firmament as wa3 Thatcher, the minstrel, his former rjccesses beins1 nothing more than memories, but most pleasant ones at that. ' Km pi re Theater. The two women who applied toiGovcrnor Flower, of New York, for permission to pursue their farm labors in man's attire are not the only instances of a desire for extreme tailor-made fcrm3 that pervade the gentle sex nowadays. A well-known and gifted artist has become popular by not only wearing elegant manly suits, but by having the phenomenal gift of singing in a pure, strong manly voice, with a richness of chest notes that puzzl03 while it decidedly pleases. The possessor of this notable gift of vocalism will appear here with Hyde's Comedians at the Empire Theater for one week, commencing to-morrow matinee, under the management of Mr. James Hyde, of the firm of Hyde & Behman. Miss Mora is, however, but one of the attractions Mr. Fennessy will furnish hi patrons this week. The Zarvtto troupe of Japanese variety artists, three in number, give a pleasing and artistic juggling act. The beautiful Jessica, as she is termed, will be seen in a presentation of the serpentine dance upon a wire. Besides the?e throe entertainers there will be the Allisons, refined EnpMsh singing, dancing and sketch artists; Falke and Semoas, who present a clever musical act; Johnnie Hay. black-face comedian, and MS3 Kmnw Sherwood, a pleasing vocalist. There i? additional talent in the persons of Jco Hayden. Queen Hetherton, M!s3 Ola Hayden and the preat Indianapolis favorite?, the American Two Macs. ;okIi of tin SlnKC Dave Braham has written two hundred songs. Irving's eldest son is to act and practice in the legal profession alternately. A daughter of WHIhm Terriss. of the Irving company, has pone on the stage. Fraser Coulter has been engaged to play the part of the Colonel "In Old Kentucky" on tour. A new comedy drama by H. T. Raymond, called The Quaker's Son." Is to be a road nttra-ction next season. J. H. Gilmour, Maud Harrison and Owen Fawcett have been engaged for Daniel Frohman's new comedy company. The daughter of Ix)uis James, the tragedian, has been enjred for the company that is to present "Charley's Aunt" in Boston. Lottie Williams. now playing the soubreite role in "Ole Olson," if to star next season In a new sensational play which is being written for her. Cilble dispatches received from London show that Mr. Daly's production of 'The School for Scandal." at his Leicester Square Theater, is a genuine hit. A drama by William C. Hudson, to b? brought out by Augustus IMtou in January, has for a principal scene the Interior of a srr.elting furnace with fiery realism. Rose Coghlan has engaged Maurice Barrj inor? at salarv of $') a week to appear In "A Woman of No Importance." Mr. Robert Taber is also expected to be in the cast. Clarence E. Holt has left San Francisco and .is now with Mn. John Draw's company, playing Captain Jack Absolute in

"The Rivals, ana narry uornion in rne Road to Ruin." Charles B. Hawkins, a very clever comedian, who is now plaving Joel Gates in "Shora Acres" at the Fifth Avenue Theater, will star next season in a new play by John Fowler, entitled "(Jrecn Meadows." When Joseph Jefferson concludes his brief starring season he will begin, in January, a tour under Major Pond's management, delivering lectures, with the stage as his subject, in ail the large cities of the country. In a Lelpslo theater thj buyer of a seat has the use of a locker for his coats, hats, bundles, .shawls, opera glasses, caramels, fans, cigarettes, whisky and bouquets.

Clara Thronp, Florence Kills, Herman Blakemore, Ku.ene Clark, Rose Ricci, Melvin Hye, Katherine McNeill, ami Clara I'alm:r. The metropolitan theatrical gossips cvrtalnly can not complain of a lack of morsels. With the Marie Wainwright suit, the Coghlan marriage and now the suit of Mrs. John Drew against her son for back salary, they will have enough material to last them for some time. The performance of "As You Like It," by a cast composed entirely of women, given at Talmer's Theater on Tuesday afternoon, was a great success. Tho house was crowded by a distinguishel audience, and the I'rofersirral Woman's League will benefit to the extent of at least $1,500. K. C. Jobson. who plays the favorite professor in "Afrtca," haa a make-up that transforms him Into nn excellent counterfelt of ex-champlon John I Sullivan. During the recent Cincinnati engagement cf "Africa" Sullivan was also playing in that city, and Jobson says he did not breathe easy until he was saiely in St. Ixuis. Mario Wainwright has got her dates a.'l mixed up. and it must bo very embarrassing for her, too. She thought she was married to Louis James in Boston. March 11, 1SSJ, but she has since discovered that she wasn't. But. after nil. there is nothlncr surprising In this. An actres-s's time Is so much taken up with her profession that she can't bo expected to remember so trivial a mattrr as the date of her wedding. She ought to keep her n:arrla,u certificate, or her mar

riage certificates. In the bottom of her j

maKe-up box; then snea always nave uiu with her, and avoid mistakes. "The Butterflies" Is to be the name of the piecs that Henry Guy Carleton has written for John Drew. The first two acts take place In St. Augustine, Fla.. and the third act in the Berkshires. Mr. Drew will enact the role of an officer of the New York Yacht Club. The production Is set down for Dec. 16 in the critical town of Boston. The Misses Helen and Henrietta Byron, who were prominent in the cast of Nellie McHenry's company last season, are appearing with; success In the new operatic extra van ganza, "Africa." They are seen in ths roles of the twins, and the close resemblance they bear each other mystifies the and'cnce as much as It Is apposed to mystify the people on the stage. The late Charles W. Thomas left a personal estate, outside his interest In the partnership with Charles H. Hoyt, valued at $12T,00u. As yet no will has been found, but among his papers were two paid-up Insurance policies, one for $.10,000 in favor of his father, and one for $10,000 payable to his own order. Messrs. Hoyt and Thomas, besides their amusement business, had large interests In other enterprises, particularly in Omaha. One of the best things In "Frincess Nicotine," so everybody agrees. Is the cigarette song which Miss Russell sings at the end of act one. She gets three encores foi it at least. A cigarette i3 In her mouth half the time as she sings, and apropos of this the solemn person who howls the thunderbolts for the New York Post writes: "If she sings that cigarette song very many times mere she wl!l Irreparably damage her voice. To inhale a puff of cigarette smoke after every few notes Is perhaps as effective a way of committing vocal suicide as has ever been thought of." But cigarettes and Miss Russell are not newly acquainted, and it is surprising how much that precious voica of hers can stand. REFORM IX DRESS. Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery Tells Women How to Attire Themselves. Philadelphia Inquirer. It was not at all a fashionable audience, but one of work-a-day women, earnest and thoughtful-looking-, that made up the assemblage that hardly more than half filled the pretty little drawing-room of th? New Century Club last night, to listen to the gospel of reform la dress, as preacheol by Mrs. Rachel Foster-Avery, a Phlladelphian by adoption, and daughter of the late J. Heron Foster, founder of the Pittsburg Dispatch. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Students' Chapter, of 2331 North Sixth street, the proceeds to be devoted to free scholarships for Kensington girls unable to pay by reason of the financial distiets in that locality. The lecture, "The Art and Common Sense of Dress," was divided by Mr3. FosterAvery into a series of talks to accompany each change of costume. Between the various scene shiftings, so to speak, there were violin solos by M'ss E. Alice Robblns, and soprano sclos by Mks Therese Kelly. Mrs. Foster-Avery's first appearance was made in a c'.'-O urcsa and Parisian Uoublerufiled cloak of the same color, with beaded velvet yoke end feather collar. The latter garment, she said, had been donned In order to draw attention to some line3 to which she objected. Its failure to followany curve indicated by the body and the abruptness with which the line at the neck ended were the principal points of condemnation. Mrs. Avery began by saying: "It i3 a pleasure to anyone to ride a hobby, and it is a pleasure to me to talk to women. The question of woman's dress is divided naturally Into three divisions, the questions of health, of appropriateness and of bervaty. The dress exhibit was a street costumo of jrray cash nere. trimmed with bott!?green velvet. It cleared the ground by about two inches. Underneath in won: a union suit. cl'thinjr the body from ankle to wrist, and equestrian tights. On Introducing the home costume, which came next. Mrs. Avery provoked a laugh by saying, "Now, int this comfortable?" A disappointed murmur ran through the audience, which competed her to remark, laughingly, "It's short, tnd I have a No. 7 foot at the lower enc. but that's one advantage of a short dress, it makes the feet look smaller." The dress in question was of bottlesreen. with yoke, from which the fullness fell, large sleeves, a small turn-down collar. F'fc. dated pointed belt at the waist, and w.ate ruffling at close-fitting wristbands and neck. It was fully six inches from the ground. "I am sure," she sali. "that any of you who are housekeepers will find this a perfect boon. There is nothing very special rbout this dress except that it makes you feel a:? if you had wings. For summer use I wear underneath a chemisette, but for the winter the union underwear and equestrian tiuhts. And here I will make one of the awful exposes which made me shut out the gentlemen." Mrc. Avery then held forth to the praze of the audience a pair of the t'ghts, which she said can now be purchase? at almost nny dry poods store for from 75 cents to $2.r0, according to quality. She also showed the muslin underskirt, which is simply a skirt Fewed on to an ordinary waist, cut low at the neck and sleeveless. The garters were of wire, known as duplex, and the costume resembled that used by the normal and hlsrh school pirls for gymnasties. A pocket is the great comfort In all hr costumes. "This is the divided skirt." she said by way of introduction to the rainy-day costume. "You want to see the division?" she continued, as the audience craned their necks and puzzled their brains in a vain attempt to find the division. "You don't see it? It's there." And bo it was, but so cleverly hidden that the eye of woman, much less that of man, could not fathom the mystery until the lecturer explained it. Apparently the costume much resembled that for home use. It, too, cleared the pround about cix inches. It is modeled after the dress worn by the Syrian women, the adaptation to conventionality consisting in having the skirt portion, which is immense trousers, turn up like a bar, the division coming underneath, where it is not visible to the outward seeming. With the costume leggings are worn almost to the !cnee. Inside the drawers-skirt is a drawers lining of muslin ending at the knees, which keeps the outer cloth drawers firmly, in place. A simulated blouse falls to the waist, to which the drawers are attached, hiding the row of fastening buttons all around, and a zouave jacket finishes the costume, underneath of which are the union suit and equestrian tights. The coat to be worn for street wear should reach to the bottom of the costume. A tea gown and an empire gown respectively finished the evening's discourse. Both garments were conventional looking In appearance, although fashioned according to reform methods. IIYIWOTIC GOODXKSS. Possibility tlint Criminal Reform Mny lie Affected by Science. Boston Transcript. The future of hypnotism seems to be as great as the future of electricity. Nobody c?n prophesy in the slightest decree what either one will do for the rice. Hypnotism, broadly speaking. Includes those immediate awakenings of the subliminal consciousness which result sometimes in an entire change of habits of mind and life. A case of what evangelical people would dislike to hear called scientific "conversion" is reported from Paris. Yet, after all, this may be as direct an evidence of the power of spirit as any old-fashioned revival "conversion." A writer in the Now York Times says: "In hypnotism we find a-safe and, at the same time, powerful lever for readjustment, by means of which In some establishments new looms can be brought into play and shut off again almost at will; and often while the new looms are at work doing rood service we are able to get at the old ones, repair and modernize them, so as to make them useful. A single instance out of many must suffice for illustration. "In the summer of 1884 there was at the Salpetriere a young woman of a deplorable type, Jeanne S., who wns a criminal lunatic, filthy, violent and with a life history of impurity and crime. M. Auguste Voisip, one of the physicians of the staff, undertook to hypnotze her May 31. At that time she was so violent that she could only be kept quiet by a strait jacket and the constant cold douche to her head. She would not look at M. Voisln, but raved and spat at him. He persisted, kept his facnear and opposite to hers, and his eyes following hers constantly. In ten minutes she was in a sound sleep, and soon passed into the somnambulistic condition. The process was repeated many days, and gradually she became sane while In the hypnotic condition, but still raved when she awoke. Gradually then she began to accept hypnotic suggestion, and would obey trivial orders given her while asleep, such as to sweep her room, etc.; then suggestions regarding her general behavior; then In her hypnotic condition she began to express regrets for her past life and form resolutions of amendment, which sne fully adhered to when she awoke. Two veirs later she was a nurse in one of the Paris hospitals, and her conduct was lr-,'

reproachable. M. Voisln has followed up this case by others equally striking." Is it too wild a flight of f.ncy to prophesy that the time may come when this method of dealing with criminals will not be -uncommon in our prisons? A violent prisoner, for example, will not be tortured with solitary confinement or other modes of punishment which seem only to enhance his vices and solidify the darker forces of hi3 nature. Imagine a dally hypnotic treatment for goodness sake by a wise and conscientious physician. The temporary improvement of certain prisoners under the constant influence of gentle and religious visitors is well known, and their after lapses have been quite in the line of nature, because the dormant decencies of their nature have not been strengthened sufllclent to hold out. If science can join hands with be;ief in the soul, get the upper hand of heredity, and bring out the latent best of the subliminal consciousness, as In the case of M. Voisin's patient, what may not be hoped for in the future of prison reform? It is not proposed here and now that this element of treatment be immediately Introduced into our prisons. But the suggestion is not at all flippant that where preaching fails to eradicate inborn propensities of evil, science may be able to form the better element of a human personality by a sort of hothouse process and make it strong enough to dominate the worse in time. Certainly In these days when legislators are studying how best to apply electricity to the execution of criminals, people who do not believ in capital punishment may inquire what science can do in the application of the principle of suggestion by hypnotism, to the improvement of living criminals. lie Identified Illmnelf, Philadelphia Press. "Joe" Jefferson, the well-known actor, had an amusing experience In this city last week. In the character of Rip Van Winkle he possesses a peculiar personality both in ajpearance and In speech, v -nch cannot be Imitated, and which is unmistakable when once known. This was illustrated in an experience which ho had with a Chestnut-street banker. Mr. Jefferson happened to be in need of money at the time, and walking Into a bank with a check in his hand, he presented it to the cashier, and askM if he could get the money on that check. "You will have to be identified, Mr. Jefferson," said the cashier. "Well, If my dog Snyder was here he would know me," said Mr. Jefferson, In that Inimitable style of his.
