Audience nt nnlinh' Called for the Author, hut He Was ot Tresent Miss 3Inry Mnnnerlngr in a Box. At the Theaters To-Day. ENGLISH'S. James K. Hackctt In "The Crisis," 8:15 p. m. GRAND. Vaudeville, 2:13 and 8:15 p. m. PARK. "Flddle-dee-dee." 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. Al Reeves's Rurlesquers, 2 and 8 p. m. The Crisis" at English's. A dramatization of Winston Churchill's novel, "the Crisis," was acted at English's last evening by James K. Hackett and his company. Mr. Churchill was his own dramatist. H divided his story into four acts. The first Is in Judge Whipple's law office. In St. Louis, in the year 1S57. Stephen P.rice, a young man from Boston, meets here Virginia Carvel, an ardent Southener. Six years later, at the end of the last act of the play, Brice and Miss Carvel, again in Judge Whipple's office, declare love for each other. During those six years they are agitated by the passions and circumstances of the civil war. To describe dramatically that crisis In the Nation's history is the purpose of Mr. Churchill's novel and play. He had before this no experience as a dramatist, and the crudeness of his play shows that he was not inspired. The play has no serious value as a discussion of the causes of the civil war. and has little in it that has not already been made familiar in many other melodramas. It has not even the merit of newness. Brice offends Miss Carvel at their first meeting by buying and freeing a slave girl that Miss Carvel wishes for. Her cousin, Clarence Colfax, bids agalnpt Brice, but the Northerner goes to.) high for him. Brice finds nothing but snub? in St. Louis, except that Colonel Carvel, father of Virginia, and Judge Whipple are kind to him. After he has been in the place two years, Colenel Carvel Invites him to a party given by his daughter. Here he has a collision with Colfax, who is in love with Virginia, and they promise each other to "settle this elsewhere." Virginia begs Brlce's pardon for her insults before he goes away. In Mav, 1S61. Brice saves Colfax from Abolitionist rioters. The mob breaks into the Carvel house and finds Brice confronting it with a revolver. The men rush forward and Brice shoots two of them and is himself wounded. The mob hurries out of the house, and Brice drops to the floor. Virginia takes him in her arms. Within the next two years Brice again saves Colfax's life, and the Southerner finally comes to know the Northerner as a good fellow. "The South has courage enough." Colfax says, and adds that it lacks just the thing that makes Brice so admirable. Colfax is an indolent. Impetuous fellow, and in his losing Virginia the audience is expected to see the reason for the South's suffering defeat. Colonel Care. a cavalier, and Judge Whipple, a Yankee, quarrel a great deal over the difference between the North and South, but their arguments throw no light on the matter that is not thrown by school-books. Brice and Miss Carvel are sentimental, conventional hero and heroine, and there is neither wit nor nature in what they sav and do. The only incidents of the play that are not wholly forced are those in which one Eliphalet Hopper figures. He is an ignorant, smug, aggressive and inso'.ent fellow that has charge of Colonel Carvel's store. It Is marvelous that such a. man were capable of the task and impossible that he should sueceed. as Hopper does, in converting Carvel's property to hlm?elf, but. those Inconsistencies aside. Hopper dctfs create some excitement by making gross love to Virginia. He tells her that her father is in his power, and tries to buy her. Her father enters and orders Hopper out of the hous. George Le Soir, the actor of this character, has given it the value It has. He puts noisome vulgarity into It, and despite its Intrinsic Impossibility it assumes the likeness of life. Mr. Le Soir's Is the only acting In the play that is especially interesting. Mr. Hackett's ability is completely hidden by the playwright, for Brice is a commonplace person and certr.inly does not represent the "best blood of the North" as it was at the time of the rebellion.

& CO.-The Busy, Growing Store -H. P.

DC Walker Impersonates Virginia Carvel, a silly harum-scarum girl, that by no means typifies the cultured young woman of the South. Brlgham Royce acts the part of young Colfax acceptably. The various scenes of the play are elaborately pictured, and In the second act there is a lawn dance that is enlivening and pretty. But these pleasant things do not atone for the lack of depth of character or Intelligence of purpose in the play. It Is understood that Mr. Hackett is now "trying out" the play to determine the advisability of using it during the next theatrical season. He will do well to look elsewhere for his next winter's offering. The audience had the usual cordiality, and Mr. Hackett made two little speeches, one expressing his thanks and the other explaining that the author, Mr. Churchill, who had been loudly called for, was not present. Perhaps If the audience had been aware that no less a personage than Miss Mary Manering, Mr. Hackett's wife, was sitting in one of the boxes, she wculd have been called on to express her admiration for and gratitude to this public. Another performance of "The Crisis" will be given this evening. 3Ir. Hawtrey Hack in London. LONDON, April 30. Charles Hawtrey reappeared at the Prince of Wales's Theater to-night in Frank Stayton's new play, "The President." This play is a farcical melodrama dealing with the deposing of the president of a South American republic. It proved to be a curious mixture of a drama, a comic opera and a music hall sketch. Mr. Hawtrey sings a topical song, with a chorus, In the second act. Notes of the Stage.
