TOE PASSING SHOW.

SHQWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

We Would have something to say—and much might be said—in reply to the Gazette's column editorial on the show business, did we not shrink from any appearance bf patting The Mail in antagonism to the lessee and manager of the Opera House. TbeMail, in at tides the past two weeks, has bat voiced the sentiment of oar show going people. There is no question that the lovers of the better of amusements have bad Just cause for complaint aa to many of the plays given thus far In the season—bat perhaps, running an opera house is like conducting a newspaper—everybody oat of the business thinks he can do it better than tbe one financially interested. We take a pride in sustaining the reputation of our city for being noted asoneof the best show towns in the west, and now tkat tbe temper of oar people has been shown, it is believed that there will be an Improvement in the standard of amusements. Indeed, Mr. Dickson, in a private note assures us that during the season all the good attractions will appear here.

Tbe Sullivan slugget combination had a I8S0 house Wednesday evening to see tbe noted sbou'der-hltters display the "manly art of self-defense,"and their naked bodies from the waist up. It was a tame and monotonous affair, not worth the exborbitant price of admission, or the time spent in seeing

the

exhibition, though

hour.

it

The

lasted only an

elegant Opera House had tbe odor

of a variety theater. No women .were present cigars were smoked, boys and men called the names and talked to those on the stage and there was a smell of beer—though not drunk on the premises This odor was probably from the breath pf the men who "went out to see a man." But it was an orderly crowd and included many of our be.it citizens.

Anna Dickinson, who has the reputation of being the most unsuccessful and the most determined actress in the country, played "Hamlet" at the Opera House last night She has an expressive countenance, a masculine face, and shows a good form. Indeed fche shows all that is possible—her coat tail reaching some ten inches below the waist, a pair of well developed limbs being clad in brown silk tights from the topmost point downward. Her elocution brings constantly before "tbe mind's eye" the Anna Dickinson of the lecture platform pleading tbe wrongs of woman. Her performance was worthy of praise in some respects, but a convincing Illustration that "Hamlet" is nof a character to be played by a woman. The audience was chillingly small, and as she said the soliloquy in the first act beginning, "Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt," and came to the lines: "How weary.stale and unprofitable

Seetn to me the uses of this world Tnat it should come to this." It struck ns that as her large, speaking eyes looked over the vast waste of orchestra chairs to the sparsely settled balcony circle, there was a tearful pathos In her voice—the lines seeml ng so appropriate to the occasion. It Is a pity that one of such intellectual powers should thus fritter away her time. The com pany supporting her was hardly up to a good average and the best thing Hamlet did was to kill Polonlus.

It would add much to the effect of most of the plays and prevent many a drop from the sublime to the ridiculous it a small corps of supers could beseoureu for the Opera House which might carry the strappings of nob!a Romans, etc., and compose the armies aud so on, with some pretention to style. The accidental and uncertain way In which the usual band sneaks over the stage would ruin Jullusftesar himself,and makes a fifty dollar suit of clothes look as if it cost ten ceats.

Apropos to the above suggestion from the Express an experienced stage manager says "Do you know that a 'supe' requires more teaching and coaching than an ordinary actorf You must get It into his head somehow tbat at a certain cue he must come out at a certain door and walk to aoertaln point on the stage. He has nothing to say, of course. He may have to carry a salver with a card on It, or something of that fcort. and present it gracef ly. Do you believe that actually trained one fellow for three rehearsals to do this act, and wheu he came on at last he made a bungle of it? The actress he was to wait on had taken a position in another part of the stage from what I had expected, and the Idiot went to the »pot I had ehohen and stopped short. Then he had a stage fright and ran off, aud there was a roar of laughter. Such things happen very frequently. In tbe old days I used to have half a doren men that: could be sent on for such an act Now I have to train a new one every time." "Do 'wipes' ever have stage fright?" "Oh, yes once in a while a young fellow goes on as confident as a Kentucky mule, and runs off like a scared rabbit. He cant belp it to save his life. The master or captain of the 'supes' has to stand at the flies and Instruct each 'supe' as he goes on. They never have any Idea of 'dressing the stage'—that Is, you know, standing in groups, as men do in ordinary life, and not in line. No: their tendency is to get together like a set of sineplnsand gaae stolidly at nothing. It is tbe most difficult thing in the world to terch them to look like ordinary mortals. The success of a spectacle depends very largely upon the training of the subordinates. Here wnen we have a Roman spectacle it Is tough work to make the 'supes' look like Roman ottiaens."

What a contradictory fellow Hamlet Is made to appear. He speaks of an "undiscovered oountry from whose bourne no weary traveler returns," and that, too, Just after he has had a windy Interview with his tether's gbost that had bat recently arrived on the midnight train from the said undiscovered oountry.

This evening Bartley Campbell's interesting drama of the "White Slave" will be played at tbe Opera House. This is ita third appearance here, and Its merits are well known to such of our readers as can rAnember a play from season to season. It is a play made up of tbe incident scraps of several familiar pieces that have Southern slave life for their motive, Is of deep Interest, and one of the very beat of its clasa. A good company Is playing it

One of the beet of tbe new plays on the road is "A Bunch of Keys." It will be presented at the Opera House next Monday and Tuesday evenings. The Utlca Herald says:

The play is very funny, and each part Is admirably sustained. The Bunch of Key* is three staters whose uncle has Just died, leaving a hotel property. These sisters ore anxious to know to whom tbe and the lawyer, the bouse to read the will.

property is left,

Uttelton Snagn, comes to Tbe will provides

that the hotel shall be left to the homeliest of tbe three sister*, and commands that the hotel shall be opened wtthln a month after his death, and that the question as to tbe homeltost sister shall be left to the first drummer that appears for accommodations. Then none of the sisters want the property, and ii insist that the others are tbe bomeIteau There is a codicil to the will which provide* that, It the sisters desire, they can divide the property between them equally.— The company could not be improved. Each appeared tone a star In or her particular character. Tbe play contains considerable music and affords an excellent opportunity for good singing and dancing, which waa folly Improved. Hie entertainment in fact was a complete •booms, and about all tbe people tmd do

Is to g?t up and Ixrwt with

Barlow. Wlboo A OCs minstrels will appear here on Wednesday evening. Thl* organisation needs no endorsement in these

columns, or press notices to tell what it tf.jof city.

Our people know that, to quote from their advance card: Barlow, Wilson A Co*8. stand head and shoulders above all kindred organizations in exist nee, either at home or abroad, declaring—without the chance of contradiction— tbat its portraitures of the Negro possess turr surpassed photographic excellence, avowing tbat they pouea in their compsiny, mora performers, more comedians, more vocalists, more instrumentalists, and more specialist, than any minstrel company in existence, or ever did exist, presenting in their Challenge Program more new acts, more novel features and more that is unique and original than can be found in all the combined minstrel entertainments now before the public.

On Thursday evening Usde May Ulmer, with a company endorsed highly by the press, will play Joaquin Miller's beautiful drama entitled "48." Tbe Philadelphia Times of a reoent date, says: "The Chestnut 8treet Opera House was opened last night fpr.the season. Liade May Ulmer appeared as "Carrots" in "40" and the house was full. Tbe play is of a kind with which theatre goers are entirely familiar, yet it is a kind which is very popular. People seem to like tbe slang and. native dash of a character like "Carrots," and there Is something In the rough human nature aa brought out of the mining reg oris which is peculiarly fascinating. There is a sparkle about Miss Ulmer, mixed with a simple pathos, which well fits her for her part in this piece, and she easily earns the sympathy of the audienoe. She is very well supported by characters in all variety and "49" promiies to have a successful week."

Side Boards and Mirrors.

As pretty a lot of Side Boards and Mirrors asyou ever laid eyes on may be seen at R. Forsterta Furniture rooms, north Fourth street.
