THE PASSING,, SHOW.

tti

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

Such an evening of fun has seldom been enjoyed by our show-going people as that given last Monday evening by Mitchell's Pleasure Party. A new act has been written to introduce "Our Gobblins," and as reconstructed it is the best of the class of extravaganzas, now se largely holding a place on tbe stage. In this assertion we de not except "Hobbies." There is more real talent and originality in this little party than in any similar organisation travel-

lng*»si

An audience of moderate size assembled at the Opera House Thursday evening with no very large expectations. All, however, were agreably and greatly surprised in the enjoyment of a very saaooth and finished performance of Shakespear's tragedy of "Othello." The most of the work in this play falls on "Othello" and "Iago." The at first confiding, loving Moor, changed to a jealous husband full of the fiercest passion, was admirably portrayed by Mr. Henry Aveling. Frederick Warde's "Iago" is the Mephistopheles type. In delivery he is graceful his elocution excellent in phrasing and intonation, while his action is rapid and magnetic. Both these gentleman were called before the curtain at the strong closing scene of the third act. The gentleness of Miss Elmore's "Desdemona" and the vitality of Marion Clifton's "Emilia" were their' distinguishing features. About the others there was nothing particularly brilliant they simply filled their allotted places to the mediocre ability required..

Slay ton's Jubilee Singers, the largest colored concert company now traveling, will appear at the Opera House to-night in a choice selection of vocal and Instrumental music, and to-morrow evening in a grand sacred concert, with low prices of admission—the best seats only fifty cents. The company is a very strong one as will be seen by the list of artists given in the announcement elsewhere. There is a peculiar charm about the jubilee songs of these colored people, and in this case patrons are assured of a chaste, artistic enif lainment.

Another "Uncle Tom's Cabiu" company is booked for next Wednesday evening. This, we believe is the last of the season, aud being the best it is well that it is the last, in erder that a good impression may be left until ths annual round of tbe play next year. This is Jarrett A Palmer's London Company and Slavin's original troupe, with a colored brass band and large party of jubilee singers, a trained donkey, kennel of blood hounds, and new senery. Thg H|u^ iow pricfc 35 and 26 cents,

On Friday evening the Remenyl Ceneert Company will appear at the Opera House. This is the first entertainment of the Library Lecture Course, mention of which Is made elsewhere. Season tickets for the course of five entertain ments are only $1,75—and this concert alene is worth half the money, The sale of reserved seats for the entire course will begin on Tuesday morning, at the Central Book Store.

Leavitt's Gigantean Minstrels will close the week's entertainments on Saturday evening.

A Chicago clergyman has written a complimentary letter to Den Thompson to the effect that he had witnessed the latter's play of "Joshua Whltcomb," and considered it a performance of a highly moral character and calculated to do much good. Probably it was Josh's prayer scene that captured the minister.

Peck's Sun: We notice that some of the papers criticise the Buffalo Bill entertainment because it has "no artistic merit," though it draws a house full. That Is all right, but it soems to us that we would rather run an unartistic show, if it drawed a nail keg full of dollars every night, than the most artistic show on earth and have to pawn our trunks. We go in for something that draws, every time, though it may be a corkscrew or a porous plaster.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: W. W. Durand the energetic advertising agent of Barnum's.show, has signed an engagement with the great showman for another year. He has a bigge salary than any man who ever went ahead of a show. He began his career as a circus agent with "Old" John Robinson, in 1867, and is considered one of the keenest in the business. We first knew him in Cincinnati as city editor of Fred Hunt and Wallace Warden's Evening Dispatch, in 1963. He afterward enlisted, and got to be captain of an Indiana regiment, which position he held when the war closed, serving with honor and credit. His home is at Btoomington, Ind., where he has a fine farm, vs&iti

Frank Brooks the Chicago correspondent of the Kansas City Times, tells the following anecdote: "Robson and Crane'* wives travel with the Dromios and eat with them. They go to tbe theater with them and dress them for their parts. They Itake off their stage toggery for them when the garish lights have been turned down, and go with them to their hotels. The boys get out once a year. When they go down to Oohasset after the season their wives kiss them good-bye and say: "They're in for a big drunk now." Last season I overheard Mrs. Crane say to Mrs. Robson, 'The vacation »pree of Bill cost him a cool thousand: hew much dkMtcost Robson Mis. Robson made a sotto voice answer which made Mrs. Crane figure again, and then she said •It is the first time William was ever beaten.'"
