DRAMA AND MUSIC.

-COMEDY, BURLESQUE MAGIC.

AND

Tbe Harrisons, Louis and Alice, who -are lively pair, well supported by a com pany several degrees above the average kept in a jolly good humor an audience moderate in size on Wednesday evening, stith the.fuuny comedy of "Our Infant "Sam'l of Posen," the commercial drummer, had a large audience Thurs day evening. Mr. Curtis is supported by a fairly good company, and the play is one of considerable merit. But "Sam Mel" is the central figure and he is on tbe atage nearly all the time. Mr. Curtis, as well as the author, has made tbe travel ing salesman a study, and bis careful attention to details, in makeup and action and speech, make his personation a delightful piece of comedy. He also shows bis good taste ip. presenting the better qualities of the Hebrew race, avoiding burlesque where the temptation to do so is so great

Manager Smith lias arranged to present in rapid succession this month some of the very best attractions now before the amusement public, and such of our amusement goers as cannot afford to take in tbe entire

list

will have some difficulty

in selecting from the same. This •veiling Herman, the famous prestidigi tateur.will appear, assisted by M'lle Ad die and a specialtycompany. The nature of the entertainment may be learned in the following from the Boston Post:

Th* performances were many of them truly wonderful, particularly parts one and HYP. In which Herrmann gava a number of new trick*. Among the best were some new experiment!) with curds, the famous "invisible watehex" scones and the abstraction of watohe*, silver dollars, rabbits and other object* from outsiders in the audience. Tne experl intuits with the spirit cabinets, In which Mr. Herrmann introduced the celebrated Bnglifth mediums, Howell and Darvin, who made some startling spiritualistic manifestations by gaslight, were far superior to the performance of the usual class of spiritual mediums. Awatu Katsnoshin, the Japanese prinoe.did some wonderful feats of balancing with wands, batls, fans, and glasses filled with wat«r, many of which were truly marvelous. One of the finest things on the pro gramme WHStho appearance of M'lle Addie, an Uif Slave Ulrl, asleep In mid-air, which wssMtonwt an effective and startling one. The iH'tuitlful assistant appeared to be sleeping in thw air a number of feet above the Wage, ail support,save a slight re«t under one hand, having been removed. Mr. John

leaping being particularly fine Catherine Lewis has good claim to title of "Queen of comic opera." No more popular lady in this line has •visited this city. She comes again on Monday evening in her charming personation of "Olivotte," supported by a atroiif? opera company. The Syracuse Courier has this to say

On Monday and Inst evenings, tliebrilliant -eomcdlennr.Cathorlno Lewis, appeared at the Qnimi opt*r*i House as "Olivette," and it is necu]•'&<( to say scored a brilliant success. 1 he nuiilnuce* were largo and appreciative, and re winded the efforts of Miss Lewis an« her company with frequent and hearty applause. It in iv im safely said that Miss Lewis was .altogether the best Olllvette ever seen in SyrHcuHe. I ndced, she is accepted as the best r»pn\««Mitative of the character in this oountrv. Certainly she is most charming in «vervthlng shosays or does, and mirth, merrln.i'iit ana song fairly bubble from her lips. She lias what the Frcncli call chic, and Is -thoroughly artistic In her acting and singing, tter sobbing song was, to our mind, the gem of hur |K»rformauce, although In Its entirety It was above criticism. Mlsi Lewis' geniality Is one of her greatest charms and she posMeuies that attribute to a remarkable degree. •Mr. iliirrle Brown was inimitable as Ie Maritime and Mr. Kiwi Ijonox was tho best Oxiitllot we ever hoard. Mr. Henri Laurent, as Valentino, sang and actnl thelart superb iy, and Ltllle West was a most bewitching and fascinating Countess.

On Wednesday evening the popular •Irish comedian Joseph Murphy will aptpeai in Marsden's play of •'Shann Jrtliue." Speaking of Murphy the Buffalo Courier says:

In this Impersonation he takes the North •r trclsud dlau-ct and carries it through in admirable stvlo. The humor of the character as Interpreted by Mr. Murphy Is rich and mellow nnn the sentimental vein is deeidedly Affective. Mr. Murphy's by-play and business are of Infinite variety and telling quality, and show the comedian to be peeisesMHt even greater resources than his warmest julmlrers hecvntiouta have given hltn credit for. His rendering of the song. "A Utui.Hul of Earth," was exquisitely done and falrlv naptumi tlie house. As a matter of course it WHS enthusiastically encored. His performance, taken as a whole, was tbe best lie has «ver fnvonsl us wilh, and the madlenivsiiowetl their gratification in an unmlst'tkeabie way.

The prottv Allele Walters piayed the part of Kate Ikuiovitu very charmingly and the remainder of the east met the requirements of their parts satisfactorily. will be repeated this and to-morrow night and theSaturdny matinee bill will be"Korrv Oow."

Mr. Roland Reed, new a brilliant and high flying star, »t\ake» his first npjtearance at the Opera House next Thursday evening, in thfc Iwtftst comedy «f the day, entitled "Cheek," wiltten l»y Fred Marsden, author of "Musette," 4Kerry G«»»V and other popular plays. The scene of the comedy Is lnid in New York city and Virginia, and the plot is as follows:

An old Virginian of wealth wrongfully iinagine* his wife not the proper person to briiig tip life* infant child, and sends him aw:iv. A few years after, however, he discovers his mistake, tries to reclaim hi* !«»n, but fall* The boy, who has grown up a New York w«df, does not know his real name, but

HefsieterminNi to reform, and toon his utmost wards foiling tbe impostor. He of course maeceedvanri not only gains a wife, but bis lawful name and fortune.

The moat striking feature of tbe handsome scenery is a representation of

Madison Square, N. Y., tmfaer the full glare of the electric light, showing the fifth Avenue Hotel, Hoffman House, Worth Monument, Liberty Torch, etc, Tbe play is interspersed with pretty songs from the latest comic operas, rendered in excellent style by the young comedian.

For Friday evening we are to have D. Hess" Acme Opera Company, and the "Chimes of Normandy." It was given in Indianapolis, Thursday evening, and the Times of yesterday says:

The opera has been to often in this city that an excellent notiee of the piece is not necessary but of the magnificent sompany producing if too much oan not be said. It is one of unusual strength, embracine as it does a fine collection of capable artists,of uniform excellence, both in rare musical accomplish raents and dramatic talent. Tbe chorus, too. is strong and shows thorough training. The principal interest in last night's_performance however, centered In Miss St. Rolnten, who made her first appearance before an Indianapolis audience, assuming the character of Mignonette in a charming manner. Miss Qulnten is an English lady recently from London, where she stands high as an artist of rare ability as an operatic singer. She is a lady of decided talent as an actress, being graceful, vivacious and fascinating. In the spoken passages of the opera she imparts to her lines much lif and character. Her voice which is of an excellent quality, shows careful cultivation and finish, ana she invests her acting and singing with a charm that is so rare that is not only admirable but beyond praise. Coup' ed with pleasing grace of manner, Miss St. Quinten has a handsome face, a fine figure and a style that cannot fail to please. Her first appearance was a decid ed success and was received with flattering manifestations of favor. Of the male talent, Mr. H. C. Peakes stands at the head of the cast, and he is well worthy of the plaoe. In the role of Gaspard he is unequalled. He has a magnificent voioe,and as an actor is grand His acting in the castle scene at the end of the second act last night was the finest ever seen In this city, and was really unapproachable. It would be difficu't to imagine how the character could be invested with more strength. It was simply magniflcent,and he was honored with an imperative call before the curtain. The Gerulaine of MlssLeighton was a very pleasing rendition. She nas sweet voice and handsome stage presence, and acts her part with much grace. Mr, Smith did some capital actiujjand good sing ilr. Appleby of r. J. G. Peakes,

ing as the Marquis, as did Robin More. The Sheriff, of Mr, was well done, and the miner parts were well cast. The beautiful airs with which the piece abounds were admirably rendered, and as a whole the performance was one of the best seen In this ctty this season

Lily Langtry, the British beauty, has been booked for an appearance at the Opera House on the evening of the 22d Her play is not yet announced. However, that matters little. It is the woman, not the actress, the people are curious to see.

Miss Katie St«kes, the handsome equestrienne, who used to be employed by Coup, and subsequently by Bartium at a salary of $125 a week, now has a small part in tho "Corsican Brothers" at Booth's Theater, getting $25 a week. It seems that Miss Stokes had a fall from her hopae in the latter portion of last teason, and burst a vein in her leg. The injury was not very severe in itself, but her physician warned her that she must not ride again for three years. This decision costs heryoue hundred dol lars a week.

A good story is told of a French actress Dejazet which is worth repeating. Soon after the first production of "M. Garat" she went on the road. At Dijon she was visited by two ladies who wanted to ask if the piece was one which two maiden ladles could with propriety, witness, She assured them that the piece was quite inoffensive, but they still kept up their question. At last she assumed au rfir of confidence, and said in a solemn tone, "Now, I'll tell you everything. I usually play without any clothes on, but to-night, on account of your scruples I will keep on my stockings." The spinsters tied.

The refusal of two Mayors of New York to license a theater for the production of the Passion Play has excited discussion of the subject throughout the country. A drama in which some of the apostles figure in Bible scenes in being performed this week in a Baltimore variety theater, with Frank Frayne, the actor who accidentally shot a woman on the stage, in the principal part. In Cincinnati, which is notably a musical city, tbe introduction of sacred things in operas is being condemned by some religious people. Iu Wagner's "Parsifal" the knights of the Holy Grail go through with tbe rite of the sacrament in "Der Freischut*," Agath kneels and sings a prayer and so does Zerlina in

Fra Diavolo." In the opera of "Moses in Egypt" God is heard speaking out of the burning bush. Tbe familiar chOrch scene in "Faust" shows au altar with ofliciatiug priests and acolyets, and at this point Cincinnati Roman Catholics sometimes leave the theater.

A new Parisian drama cantains a balloon ascension. The heroine of the play, after she has reached the flies in her aerial carriage, suddenly loostes her balance and falls into a large sheet of water (representing the ocean) from which she is rescued. Another play in prepa rajs even more realistic. In this drama a woman is drowned, and the plot depends upon the identification of the body. Accordingly one act is set in tbe morgue, which is modeled after that in Paris, with a number of marble slabs upon which the dead bodies are place#. Upon these slabs tbe author proposes to lay out** a number of first class specimens—men and women make up to represent dead people. A sheet is to cover tbe body up to tbe chest, and above the bead is a little water spout from which *epid water talis upon tbe face of the supposed dead. Tbe general effect of all this Is assisted by an electric light, and if tbe corpses only remain perfectly still. the dramatist predicts the most realistic scene ever seen upon any stage.

CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE

Rev. C. R. Henderson, writing to Dr. Waters in regard to the new minister for tbe Baptist church here, says: I have received word within a few days that was very agreeable to me. The accept ance of Mr. Wheeler is very hopeful and I am glad that the suspense of the church is at an end. Brother Wheeler has done well and so have you. I trust that it is of the Lord and I shall pray with hope that together you may have a great blessing."

Gambetta wfiS SO opposed to religion that it is said he was never known to en ter a church, not, even for a wedding or funeral.

Among the personal property of a*deceased .New Jersey man, which was recently sold at auction, was a choice pew in a Presbyterian church. After much delay and with few bidders the pew was "knocked down" at 99, a saloon-keeper taking it in settlement of his account.

The Methodist Episcopal pastor of Birmingham, Ala., published a card in which he said "My church is for white persons exclusively, and colored people are not invited or expected to attend." Revival meetings were being held, and negroes were attending them in con siderable numbers. The excuse for their exclusion wa3 that their presence hindered.the work among white sinners The minister's course has been strongly condemned, but the Atlanta Methodist Advocate defends him, declaring that "the conferences in the South need at least twenty more like him."

Church work and church meetings will run smoothly enough as long as every member is willing to admit that he is a sinner. The very minute, however, that either man or woman becomes sinless or perfect you are bound to have trouble. No one can so quickly get up a first class row in a church as a man who is so awfully good that he ought to have gone to heaven ten years ago. Hajs harder to keep quiet than a swari hornets w|th a lire under their nest.ft' seems a paradox, but it is neverthel true, that when a man gets too much ri ligion he is a good deal worse tha though he had none at all. So long -As he knows that he ought to go to the bottomless pit he can be easily handled and utilized, but the very minute he gets an impression that heaven isn't quite good enough for him he tries to "boss" the minister and the congregation, and is so self-conceitod and intolerable that a mysterious dispensation of Providence would be received with resignation, if not haljed asa "long felt want

The following incident is vouched for by the Christian Obsetver "At a recent meeting of evangelical ministers, the discussion turned upon the literal interpretation of the Scriptures. One of the assembled divines had been making au impassioned appeal for taking the word of God exactly as it was written, without adding thereto or taking therefrom. Said he: "When God said 'streets of gold/ He meant streets of gold whpn He said 'gates of pearl,' He meant gates of pearl and when He said 'sea of glass,' He meant sea of glass," etc. When he had made an end of his harangue, a thin, piping-voioed member from the rural districts got the floor. He said he was fully in accord with the sentiments of the eloquent brother who had just proceeded him. He, too, was in favor of taking the Scriptures literally, and believed God meant just what He said. Of course, be said, there were some things that rather puszled him, as, for instance, where it speaks of the woman who was seated on seven hills. He could not understand how she could ever do it, but he was willing to suppose that she was endowed with extra large seating capacity."
