Shuberts Sending New Attraction To the Lyric Theatre.

With a record of a season’s run at their Winter Garden, New York, the Messrs. Shuberts are sending to Chicago for an indefinite engagement at the Lyric Theatre, beginning Sunday night, September 1, an all star company in a lively musical entertainment “A Night with, the Pierrots” and “Whirl of Society,” the book of which is by Harrison Rhodes and Harold Attridge, and .the music" by Louis A. Hirsch, composed <3T the “Gaby Glide” and other numbers which have come into recent popularity. “A Night with the Pierrots” is really a curtain raiser to ‘The Whirl of Society” and possesses many novel features. “The Whirl of Society” is a light and frothy combination of mirth and melody, designed primarily for the entertaining of the “tired business man” and his whole family. The company which the Shuberts have assembled for this production is one of superlative strength and comes nearer to fulfilling the oftmade promises of “an all-star cast” than such announcements usually mean. The organization includes A 1 Jolsen, one of the funniest black-face comedians on the stage; Melville Ellis, piano virtuo»o and chief of the designing and costuming department for the Shuberts; Lawrence D’Orsay, the English actor of “Earl of Pewtucket” fame; Ada Lewis, one of the members of Weber and Fields famous stock company; Fanny Brice, lately featured in “Ziegfeld’s Follies”; Mildred Elaine, a vivacious prima donna of the younger school; Mon. Maurice, originator of the ‘Turkey Trot” and other dances which have made him a popular cabaret entertainer; Florence Walton, Clarence Harvey; the Courtney Sisters, Miss Timberg, the dancing violinist, Willie Weston, master of ragtime, the Eight Arabians and a chorus of fifty or more beantlefi. The scenic equipment is described as one of the most elaborate ever provided for a Shubert attraction, while the costuming is heralded as the most harmonious blending of colors and novelties that Melville Ellis has yet done. There are a score of musical numbers, among which several have attained international popularity. Mr. Hansen prefaced each number of his program with a short sketch of the composer, thus aiding greatly In the interest and was a feature well introduced. —'Harrisburg, 111., Chronicle.

One of the exquisite pleasures of the week was the organ recital given by Charles Hansen, the blind organist of the 2nd Presbyterian church of Indianapolis; truly the most beautiful and touching organ music heard this year. So dainty, so tender and responsive; sometimes rising to the sublime as the full organ was thrown on, but most frequently the delicate, sweet sympathetic music one expects from the sightless. Truly they have the “hearing ears” and do pot offend those of others. —Chicago Music News. At the Presbyterian church, Friday evening, August 30. Tickets on sale at Long’s drug store. Mr. and Mrs. C.
