The Crnnd East Lynne." , East'Iynne," the llnhonored and erstwhile Immensely popular tear f etcher, was revived at the Grand Opera llouso last night by the stock company, and for the occasion Prof. Miller's orchestra dug out of the dim, forgotten past some doleful, reminiscent strains, the frequent repetitions of which made It all very sad, and when the orchestra wasn't playing" these the audience was given Its fill of "Then You'll Ren-ember Me" and the "Just a Song at Twilight" ; refrain. For "East Lynne" must have a proper musical setting for the oldtime agony, the wretched parting, the cruel villain, the noble husband and last, but not Itast. the very pale lady who expires to a flow curtain all of which was once the fctrong literature and drama of the day. And yet It teemed good, to the large first right audience present last evening, to get back to the old-fashioned way of running riot with the emotions. To those people who led they are entitled to an honest coursing of tears It was an dpportimlty not to be missed, and to those scoffers who nicker at a woman's playhouse weeping, all the while trying to strangle back their own choking, it was a good presentation lit any rate. . The . smoothness of the performance for a first night was a. gratifying surprise to the patrons. While there were a few hitches, they did not materially mar the creditable entertainment, and were of such a nature as to be easily remedied to-night. The-actors had their lines well. Iji mouth for the most part, and there was .little of that restraint which cornea froni unfaralifcvrity with the parts and uncertain knowledge of the words to be spoken. The preceding week it was a comment that the women overbalanced the men, but In "East Lynne the polso of the cast Is much happier, and the characters play up to each other in a more satisfactory way. "East Lynne" is toi familiar u story to-burden a reader with an outline of the plot. Miss bLannon. as the leading woman of tho company;' of course had the role of the miserable Lady Isabel, who, spurred on by the tit-signing villain. Sir r-'rancls Levlson (Carleton Macy). believes her hUsoand loves Barbara Hare (Ml -a Donteo), and elopes with tho schemer, only to realize too late the bitternej of her shame. Archibald Carlyle (Mr. Kolker). believing his wife had been killed In a railway accident, afterwards marries Barbara Hare. In after years tho first wife comes back to East J.ynne to become a governess in her husband's home. She is not recognized till she reveals herself at the death of her boy. fche, too, dies in her husband's arms, and the play ends. Miss Shannon has all sorts cf opportunities, some of which sV took advantage of and others ahe neglected. It has been a criticism of this charming woman's work that she Is too much the same In her roles, and this criticism was brought to mind in the first three acts of "East Lynne." but after that Miss Shannon got beyond the apparent limitations of her art and acted, Her scene over the death bed of her child was fine and drew a well-merited applause. It' was in contrast with her scene in Levison's apart menu, where he exposes his villainous indifference to her welfare and coolly tells her he lied about her husband in order to win her to his base purpose. Here was a scene an emotional actress would make much of. although Miss Shannon, was too modest and temperate in her way of letting the audience know that her feelings were hurt. Her admirers, however, found she made sufficient amends - in tho closing ijoents. Miss Donlco as Barbara Hare handled the role in a very capable fashion, and In the, pretty little scene which closes the first act. with the happy husband and wife at the piano, while Barbara stands at the doorway and listens, secretlv longing to be the woman at that man's side. Miss Donlco heightened the tableau by u very Intelligent facial play. She is a graceful woman on the stage and was quite attractive as Barbara Hare. The part dots not call for much skill in actinjr. for. although Barbara has a great many lines, thev are mostly in explaining the Incidents In the story which are not acted in view of th audience. Miss Agnes May nurd as the old maid sister of Carlyle gave a finished interpretation, and her work was frequently applauded. She is decided acquisition to the stock company Mls Rand in the wee part of Wilson has only a few lines, but she did the character a well that she made it linper In the minds of the people even after the play ended She was quaint r the gossipy Mrrvant. Ml Craven was Joyce. Mr. Kolker, in mich a micas was given him Jast night, I a vartly better actor than In the comedy lin assigned him last week. ir.i?ei. at that tim there ww a suspicion ttat ..r.

Display

both men were on their metal and their efforts went a good way towards establishing them as joint favorites in Indianapolis. In winning the sympathy, of the audience, even as much as the poor wife, Mr. Kolker succeeded admirably, and he was manly about it, toe. Mr. Macy, perhaps, does not arou.e the resentment of his audience as much as Kirkland, who was with the company last season, yet he left a convincing impression that Sir; Francis. Levlscn was a villain of the standard quality." Allen Patton, as Richard HarR.. had a. email part, and took care of It sufficiently.. John Steppling. as Lord Mount Severn, was unduly stiff. Ruby Merriam was little Willie Carlyle. A feature of the opening nights that gives some annoyance to most of the patrons Is the "hand'1 which Is given by a few of the friends of this and that actor or actress, as first appearances are made, no matter what the circumstances may be. It seems these people who give tho "glad hand" go in bunches, and sometimes the favorite with the smallest part has the biggest bunch of friends. "East Lynne" will be the bill the rest of the week, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. I'ark-"Crfnt cm t Vaudeville Star." Eight artistic acts, each full of individuality, make up the show that is presented at the Park the first three days of the week. Any one interested in the vaudeville profession who reads over the names of the people In the show will know that It must be good and any one who Is not thus wise will profit if he goes to the theater and sees for himself. There is Peto Baker, "everybody's favorite," who has been before tho public as a German comedian for unnumbered years. His 'voice is still sweet and his' smile is still unctuous. Besides his German immigrant turn he. recites James Whitcomb Rley'a "I've nothln at all to say," and yesterday the audience burst Into an uproar of applause. He was welcomed with warm applause when he appeared, and his friends were loath to let him go. Mazuz' and Mazett. a man and a woman, have a great acrobatic turn. Mazuz is a sawedoff tramp, who looks like he might be full of flea.. Mazet is a brukeman. Their work Is startling at times. Horace Goldln is a magician of skill, who does much that is mystifying with his hands alone, and hiis a disappearing trick called "Dreyfus's Escape from Devil's island." Mark Murph and his wife have a clever Irish turn which is funny all through. Murphy Is known to two. generations. How many years ago was It that the country laughed at Murray and Murphy in "Our Irish Visitors?" Mile. Patti Armantl makes pictures with varl-colored sand and by rubbing "smoke" off a white slab, and the pictures are good. Baby Lund, pretty and vivacious, works through a sinking and -dancing and "change" . act with sparkling Intelligence. The three Glisandos, unique musicians, have been seen here before and their act is as striking as) ever. The Fransioli Sisters have a singing and dancing turn that-is full-of -motion. They are said to give an imitation of the Cherry rlsters, but this city has never been afflicted with 'those smart farmer "girls and therefore cannot judge an Imitation. Empire "Wine, Woman and Sons;." "Wine, Woman and Song" opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon, with burlesque and vaudeville, to a full house, A perfectly clean show, with not a suggestive line or action, was given, and it drew a standingroom house at night. Burke Brothers, with "Wise Mike," the donkey, made the hit of the performance and kept the house in roars of laughter from the beginning of their act, with tho tough man terrorizing the two Irishmen, to the finish, In which the fourfcoted. actor makes his appearance. The act is trivial enough In Itself, but the quaint humor and Individuality of the Burke Brothers carries it through to Immense success. The Three Rackctts, "the. musical hostlers," introduced a lot of new business in their already excellent musical act, the most notable being a hand-balance by one of the brothers on .the steeple of an illuminated church in the background, he in the meanwhile playing a set of chimes with the free hand. John Hanson and Mabel Drew gave a comedy sketch of a high order, in which the humor was clean and in plenty. Hanson is an actor of no mean ability and Miss Drew is a clever singer and dancer ar.d pretty withal. Jenny Eddy's singing was received rather coldly at first, but when she came on again in blackface, with the two little Russians. Itsky and Filosky, whese combined weight might be seventyfive pounds, the house, to use a good old expression, "rose at her' and demanded more. Josie Kline and Phil Gotthold opened the performance with a bright singing sketch and Bennett and Rich closed the olio with illustrated song that brought them a warm recall. - . - The burlesque is particularly effective in groupings and choruses. Charles Burke's ' Rachel Goldstein." with its swinging high notes, being rendered in a style too good for ten-twenty-thirty, by a long shot. Another most effective bit was the song of "Susie Anna from Louisiana." with its artistic groupings and moonlight calcium effects. There was plenty of fun in the burlesque and a goodly number of Incidents, none of which were lugged in by the ears, but had some excuse for occurring. In all probability the costumes are the best In traveling burlesque. A handsome special scene, showing the interior, of a department store and really resembling what it is intended to represent. Is used. ".Wine, Woman and Song" will remain all week, with the usual dally matinees. Notes or the Stage. The finale which Composer Herbert has written for the second act of "The Ameer," Frank Daniels's new comic opera, is said to surpass his remarkable finale of the second act of "The Fortune Teller." There was . a lar,e advance sale for tho Thaddeus Rich .concert Thursday evening, which opened yesterday at English's Opera House. Boxes have been sold to Hugh McGowan. James Whitcomb Riley, Major W. J. Richards and - Charles F. Sayles. Liveliness promises not to be an absent quality Ir "My Innocent Boy," the English farce in which Otis Harlan appeared as a star at the Garrick Theater last night. The author of the play is George R. Sims, ana it has a record of VJ) nights at the Royalty Theater in London. The story of the farce Is that of the complications of Valentin Smith, an architect by profession and a Hat by force of circumstances. M. B. Leavitt's spectacular extravaganza, "The Spider and the Fly." will be the next attraction at English's, giving one performance on Friday evening. Forty-five people are included in the cast and new specialties new music and numbers of elaborate transformation scenes have been added. The gold and sliver ballet and the sailors' hornpln bring into prominence pretty Kirls in natty costumes. The coral grotto beneath the sea and the final transformation are specimens of the scenic artist's skill. The play appeals especially to little folks, for whose cdifica. tion there are provided a number of clowns specialties and novelties. The advance sale is already open. The I'ark will hae the Joseph Hart Specialty Company the week of Oct. H. Hart and his wife, Carrie De Mar, were here with a good company last season. During the summer they were in Europe and Hart engaged several good acts. They themivcs present a playlet called "The Quiet Mr. Gay." Henri French, a trick cyclic and Juggler, Is real French talent. Fred Diekpon,- the manager of the Park, saw French in Paris a hort time nt?o and h Fays his work is strikingly novel. Phi; Ott,. a brother cf Joe Ott. " the und "three rosebula" are on the bllL The

great Van Aukens, in their horizontal bar turn, will be presented. Fleurette. a dancer who was with "The Girl from Paris" when it was first presented here. Is with Hart's show. And there are others not so well known. William II. Cranes new drama, "Peter Stuyvesant," which .was produced at Wallack's Theater last evening, had scmething more than an historical Interest for New York theater-goers. The localities of its scenes are less than half an hour on the cable cars distant from the playhouse. Although two centuries and a half have elapsed since the Incidents which it reproduces took place, names which are common now in New York were then in exist'The play is ' the' Joint work of Brander Matthews and Bronson Howard. The choice of the character of Peter Stuyvesant as the basis of the play was accidental. It happened that one day, when Mr. Matthews was about to lecture at Columbia University, on the early Dutch history of New York. Mr. Crane met him and asked him to choose a subject -for a new drama. Stuyvesant, being uppermost In Mr. Matthews's mind, was Instantly suggested. Primrose & Dockstader's Minstrels are to be at English's for two performances, matinee and nighty next Saturday. In the first part Prof. Carlton's band and M. J. Latham's orchestra furnish the music. The first part Introduces a number of gingers,, selections of gems from late operas by the Dockstader sextet and a number of comic "coon" songs: "My Hanna Lady," by Leary Dooley; VThe Girl I Love In Sunny Tennessee," by Will Redman; "My Lady Lu," by Manuel Romain, and "Call Me. Baby Like You Used to Do," by Lew Sully. This is only the first edition of the first Part. In the second edition Mr. George 'rimrose comes on as "Bones," Mr. Lew

Dockstader as "Tambourine" ana is. CaVnes as interlocutor. In this part George Primrose sings "A Song of Songs;" W. H. Thompson, a selected ballad, and Lew Dockstader, a comic song. The first .part closes with "The Choir Boy's Dream." This 13 the act patented by J. J. Murdock, who last season was the local manager of the Grand Opera House Stock Company. "The Choir Boy's Dream" Is another name for the act entitled: "The Girl with the Auburn Hair." the electric and scenic effects of which are used by special arrangement with tho inventor.
