F '. THE SUN, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER t 1891. 15 M TM ' \\ ' ' \ TT 77.1 szns or tub thkaxjix. A weak that brings before us again the matchless art of Sarah Bernhardt muatbore gnrded as a notablo one in the town's theatri- cal soason: bat when to this treat Is added the promise of throe new plnys and of the com-- i monccnient of a stock company's soason, then the outlook Is surclr for a brilliant period of high-clas- s stago entertainment Such a week Is now beforo the New York playgoer. He will find varloty and food for study in It pro- grammes. The first nights do not conflict badly. Bernhardt will not be ready to appear at the Standard until Wednesday. \Miss Ilelyett,\ the new comedy with Audran music will not be hoard at tho Star until Tuesday, and thus Dlzoy and Ms new faroe hare a dear field for Monday night except tor \Hoss and Hoss \ at the Park. Dtxoy's chance of entertainment will be made on Monday night at Herrmann's, and It will be observed with keen and hopeful In- terest by that clcror actor's friends. It Is not lively that tho wasto of material found In \The Solicitor\' will haTO a repetition In \The Man with Ono Hundred Heads.\ the now faroe. for tlio latter has bean hlshly approved br tbo Merlin public, which U goncrally a safer guldo for Now Vorkors than London In theatrical frivolity. At any rate. It will be pleasant to sao DUoy In a new rClo. He may bo rolled upon to ImDorsonato It umcftly and carefully, and. as his popularity In town Is constantly Increasing, ho will surely have a warm grot-tin- s from c brilliant audi- ence. The nuw piece Is by one of the versatile lloeenfcld brothors. whose exploits In the American amusement field with tho thoMelningcn troupe, and the Thalia havo ajtonlubed naUvo-bor- a managers. Acted In Borlln somo months ago, the farce has since oajoyed steady success there, and Is llfcoly to mako a vory lone run. The comical horo will be represented hyDIxay. who will have to display nil his ciorernuss ns a charaeUir actor, for no will be required to a much-varie- d rule. If the fun Is of (no rosy and crneeful onler. wttn just a bit of Uinpnncy. It should suit Dixoy exactly, and ho will triumph.

It has been Ions talked of.' and it is eagerly awaited. In l'aris and In London it has already gained creat success, having passed its one hundredth nlshtlntha latter city, at tho Cri- terion, whilo in Paris it has held tho stage of the Boutros-Farisle- continuously slnco Novem- ber. lblJO Originally.\ JlissHolyotf'wasstyled an oreretta in its French form, for tdmond Audran. tho composer of \Tho Mascot\ and of \La Ugnlo.\ ha' written about twenty musical numbers to Illustrate its text; but in Uie process of adaptation, both by Burnand In Lomlon and by Bo laseo here. the workhns token on the aspect of a musical comedy. The dif- ference U slight, in any vlow of It Audran'a music Is always graceful and gay. and Belaseo had already exhibited skill as an adapter as well as an original dramatist Ho has had a delicate task in the revision of \ilis Helyott,\ tho main incident in which is tho misadventure of n pretty Ameri- can girl, hho unfortunately falls from a preci- pice and lands head llrst. with her skirts in disarray. In a clump of bushes, and in that em- barrassing plight she is Keen by a tun-lovi- French artisrvwho naturally hketches tho odd picture. After that ho gallantly rescues her. though he chivalrously does not seek her ac- quaintance, and she in her confusion avoids looking at him. But afterward she concludes that she should wed him. and upon her search for him thecomedy is bosed-Th- e French comedy was salacious. Tho London adaptation is rather dull, from oil accounts. Belaseo has made the girl a (Junker, and intensified her moral scruples, while at tho same time he makes her accident inoffensive. The piece will have new scenery by K. O. Unite, and the enlarged or- - chestrn will be directed by W. W. Furst In the cast Mrs. Leslie Carter will make her appear- ance as Miss JltlifU ; Mark hmith will be the artist an American: Harry Harwood will personate the Quaker parent of the heroine, and others employed will be M. A. Kennedy. George V. Travernr. Laura Clement Ade- laide Emerson. J. TV. Herbert Edgar Ely. Gil- bert Barony. Lillian Lima. Hollio Sherwood. N. H. Burnbom. und Kate Davis. Mrs. Carter's essay in mnslcal comedy will be watched with especial curiosity. \Miss Helyetf will last-unti- l midwinter at least at the btar. W. H. Crane will follow It Bernhardt' s reappearance will be made In \Jeanne d'Arc.\ Jules Barblers tragedy, which is not new here, in French or in Eng- lish. The play is not faultless: indeed, it in. in large part like \CliSopatre.\ a conces- sion br the great actress to the demands of the public for n sight of her in spectacle, for \Joan of Aro\ is spectacular melo- drama. But any play with Bernhardt will be welcome. Bhewill he greeted as enthusiasti- cally as ever. During Bernhardt's engage- ment I sho will revive \Cleopatre.\ \La Tosco.\ and \Theodora.\ and she will also produce two new plns \Pauline Blanchard\ and La Dame do Challant\ It would be difficult to pick out any week in the metropolitan theatrical season that did not contain an offering of a now variety-farc- e. Whilo somo men wait for tho turn in the tide, tho current sweeps on tirelessly, and the flow of the specialty play is as profitable as ever. Tho boasted fickleness of the public has not been made good In this respect nt least For- tunes are stilt bole; gained, and a thousand or rr.oro actors arc getting a ilviug out of farce-varie- ty at this day.

In tho nearer future there will be a series of test matlnfes of James A.

The Gorman rlaygoor In Now York these days ought to congratulate himself upon the number and the varied excellence of the pro- grammes put forth tor bis entertainment At & Ambers In particular the season has that r been gratifying from an srttstia stand- point and racoeasful financially.

Ho will make his ap- pearance on Thursday night In Schiller's so- norous and gloomr plon \The llobbem.\ On KoturdnrTio will be soon In \Urlol Aeosta.\ During the foro part of the week tho Amborg'a singing forces will present \The Qypsy Baron. 7 The Bat\ and \The Boggar Stu- dent\ with Emma Klroh Moordes, a new- comer. In the chief roles. NIblo's Garden, which baa been closed fore, month, will begin a now season with a new poller night This big. handsome, and hlstorio theatro will court popularity anew br means of lowered pricos and entertain- ments calculated to please particularly peoplo who have no money to wasto. The aim would seem to be to draw support from the masses of population to the eastward of lower Broad-wa- r, and no reason Is apparent whr great suc- cess should not bo tho result Edward O. re remains tlio Icssco and manager. Tho first play under the new sohemo will be \A Mile a Minute\ a rejuvenated and embollishcd London melodrama, tlio property of H. 8. Tay- lor. It was in this piece that Minnie ralraer was a feature In one of her later American seasons, but her talents did not provo suitable, and chiefly for that reason tho undertaking was act aside. But Marlon Elmore has now been engaged, along with Charles W. Bntlor, and they will boa llvoly pair beyond doubt Others In the cast are William Gilbert. Henry HnrtselL VY. J. Walker. Charles Klein, lled-mo- Clark, Mnslcal. Dole. Allco Butler. Mrs. Clinton Hall. Blanche Oswald, and Clara Burns. The most elabornto piece of realism to bo shown is a locomotive with full steam on, the whistle blowing, steam nnd smoke escap- ing, and tho driving wheels revolving at a speed declared to be a mile n, minute. Thore will also be a representation of that notorious Loudon ronort the Argyle Booms, with an in- cidental variety show. All this will make a powerful and probably winning; appeal to the cast aiders. \The Cadi\ will reach Its fiftieth perform-anc- e at tho Union Square on next .Tuesday night tho new actors in the cost Queen Vivssnr and William A. Mack, will make their .llrst appearance. Each has had dra-mat- ie exporienco, besides being clover in variety work, and together ther ought to add merry moments to Nyo'a farce. \Tho Cadi\ is a doveloprd entertainment With tho mener -- and enterprise of Stnart Robson to sustain it through Its llrst week or two of uncertainty. It outlived its earlier weaknesses, amplified its strong pointK. and has become a truly unique and enjoyaole affair. Heabrooko's minutely exact duplication of Bill Nye remains intact the orly difference being that his stage com- panions aro much bcttored. The play may go away from the city on Nov. tttt It will then have had ton weeks in ton n. which is a good record for any force. In the big and beautiful building that occu- pies the block between Fourth and Madison avenues nnd Twenty-sixt- h and Twenty-sevent- h streets one may find a variety of enter- tainments these days. In tha\Madison Square .Garden there is the flower show, with Its en- ticing adjunct ot rauslo by Lander: there is the tail tower besides, with its unsurpassed pano- rama, and in the Garden Theatre is the most picturesque and costly comlo opera in \ La Cigolo\ that has ever been sung on any Ameri- can stage. No city in tho Union offers a richer choice ot amusements in so compact space. The flower show is sure to be liberally and fashionably supported. The exhibit of. chrysanthemums is the feature, but roses, orchids. Ac will also be on view In great quantity and rare quality. The gener- osity Indicutcd in tho sizo of tho premiums is a helpful factor in this year's show. \La Cigale\ promises to remain at the Garden many months. The opera has all the ele- ments of poDUlarity. and surely any cast that brings together Lillian Ilussell. Attalie Clal.e. Tagliapietro. Streitmunn. and Louis Harrison deserves well of the New York public Now that Marie Tempest has returned to the cast of \The Tyrolean\ at the Casino that opera is again very much in evidence among the city's high-cla- ss musical entertainments, for Miss Tempest's efforts are thoroughly ar- tistic, and ther are. moreover, ot distinct value to Zellers rather negutivo opera. The warmth ut the greeting extended to Miss Tempest on her reappearance last Friday night was an eloquent tribute ot the esteem which, in a re- markably short space of time, she has gained in this city. \Cavallerla Bustlcana' is, of course, continued on the Casino's programme It precedes the longer work, and is sung from bto:15'o'ctock- - \Mavourneen\ is sure to have a hundred nights to its credit before the Fourteenth Street's audiences will tire of it Its fiftieth performance ic already at hand, and still the applause ot the wonderfully popular Scanlan and of tho excellent support of his company is as hearty as ever. Specially clever Is tho act- ing of tho precocious children. Dot Clarendon and Ray Haskell, products of the latter-da- y era of stogo prodigies, who are all deplorable on general principles. night Scanlan will enter his sixth week in town. He has never had a success bo grent as that which has come to him in the Jessop-Townsen- d play tho moet picturesque treatment of tho conven- tional Irish drama ever offered in this city. \Nlobo's\ end Isnigh at the Bijou. Before Thanksgiving comes there will be a far livelier but less artistic entertainment there, and tho Paultons comedy will make Its war to other cities, where tho cleanliness of Its wit and the smoothness ot its satire are likely to And appreciation. The Bijou's audiences, it seems, demand more exuberant jollity, so they are to havo-- a long season of it after \ N'lobe'a ' departure. First there will be a brief term of \The Hustler.\ which has never been in town, but Is heard of often from nfar; and next there will ben three months' revival of \The City Directory.\ which is recalled vividly as a great show of its kind. There will be no more ot \Jane\ at Hoyt'a Madison Square after this week. The English farce has enjoyed a city vogue that stamps it as among tho season's succosscs in frivolity, and justifies tho organization of a second com- pany to travel with it The audiences have ben notably fashionable. It Is hinted that the piece mar have a revival on another city stage. Next week Hoyt & Thomas start their own ventures at the tbeatro which Is new their own. Ther will produce flrst \A Trip to Chinatown, Hoyt's satirical farce, dealing goodnnturodly but tellingly with hypochon- driacs and pome fan Francisco frailties. This piece has already been so near to town as one of the Harlem theatres last season, but It has been reserved for down-tow- n production in ordor that It might have a long term uninter- ruptedly. There seems to bo no reason why It may not futlil its author's hopes. H. J. Conor, Anna Boyd, and otner of noto are In tlio cast tnVfortufsht tho enreor of \Tho Dancing Girl \ at tho Lyceum will close and Edward Sothcrn und his company will start ou their annual tour. The Lyceum's own com- pany, with several new members, but with Georgia Cayvau. Herbert tfeleey. W, 1. Le Moyne, and tho Waleota In thirold places, will rcsumo work In the homo theatre imme- diately after bothorn's donjrturo. Of Plnero's domestic comedy. \Lady Bountiful.\ In which thoy will mako their appearance. Bronson Howard has written that it is a most exquisite ploce of work.\ Tho endorsement is an un- common ono. and it promises well for the Lycouin's winter inaugural. \Bellly and the 400\ Is moving merrily nlong toward Its 300th performance at Harrl-can'- s, with no slcn of stagnation in the warm nnd wide interest accorded to tho work during the pmt ten months. Brahara's pweet nnd catchy muIc still enlivens the reallstla scenes of ew York rough life, which uro presented at all times in an admirable way by Harrlgan's clevu- - company \Rellly and the 400\ will hardly have a successor thb season. Cheo vor Goodwin and Wootaon Morse's lively and quaint \oporetta of life in India.\ as ther contort it has passed the fourth week of its re- turn engagement at the Broadway, \The Merrr Monaroh \ mar fairly be said to b one of the town's amusing attractions. Companies como and go, but Francis Wilson and his band of morry entertainers remain. There is no cortalnty that a change ot bill Will bemads this season, For finished drollery and inimitable acting in miniature \ Tho Dwarf's Wedding.\ current at tho Bowery Thalia, has had no equal. Nover before havo freaks boon prosontod to the curi- ous publia so acceptably.

Ther remain at the Thalia this week. Then that hlstorio stage will serve for tho deout In America of the famous Melnlneen Ensemble, who will present tragedy and comedyln its highest forms. \TheBoudan\ at the Academy still presents Louis James's robust heroism as tho British Captain In Africa, and thore Is. no lack of hearty commendation for tho capable and well balanced company in his support \Thermldor\ has only a fortnight longer at Proctor's Twenty-thir- d Street where It might remain with profltnll winter, but tor the fact that tho return of the Charles Frohman stock company cannot be delayed longer. Ther will devote themselves to tho production of Henrr U De Mille's now play, entitled \The .Lost Paradiso.\ Snrdou's work should dc well on a tour. The peculiar religious clement pro-tray-ed In tho character of Fahienne natur- ally attracts the profound attention and Mudtoun Interest of a peoplo who enn hardly bo counted as regular theatregoers. Minis- ters of various denominations have discussed with favor the heroine's mental struggles be- tween hor love for her soldier sweetheart and what sho considers hor religious duty. Hor final rosnlvo offers an ennobling instance 01 true and thorough. For tho first time In halt a dozen rears or so the English comic vocalist George Beauchamp, will sing In America night opening at engagement at Tony Factor's. Another nowcomer will be Nellie Llngard, an English singer and dancer, who arrived from London a fiw days ago. Tho 0110 nnd onlyMagglo Cllno will endeavor to raise the roof, of course, while the usual assortment of fun and muslo will bo dealt out by tho La Blanche sisters. C'onroy and Fox. tho Mchullers. the Hnytons, the Glenroy brothers, and other capable and clever specialists, not forgottlng tho jolly old-tlm- Tony himself. A now ballet entitled \Le Carnival de Vonlco.\ will be produced this wook by the Lolla Rossi troupe at Koster A Elal's hapny- - hall. Tho burlesque. \Carmen Up Late.\ remains a potent foaturo. while Mile. I'ougire and tho Braatz brothors divide favors on the specialty list New songs have been added to tho repertory f Mile. Valtl at the Eden Music, which holds Its own In the way of attendance despite any depressing conditions of tho day toward things thottrlcnl. The standard attractions remain unchanged. The first New York visit of \Mr. Wilkinson's Widows\ fdneo tho closo of Its long stay at Proctor's will bo to tho Harlem Columbus this week. There will be a warm welcome for Gil- lette's funny play, no doubt Charles Troli-man- 's comedians contlnuo to Interpret it with admirable dash and nrtistio effect. Harlem's other attraction of tho llrst rank this week Is Richard Manslleld. who will nppear at the Opera House, changing his programme night- ly and thus affording n theatregoers an excellent opportunity to measure htm In his best rules. The Opera House's tnr the ensu- ing wck will be Minna K. Gale, formerly lead- ing actress in tho Booth-Barre- tt support Cora Tanner, who has already presented Clinton Stuart's \Will Sho Divorce Him?\ in the Bowery and In Harlem, will play it this week at the west side Grand. Miss Tanner made many friends among Grand audiences in pa3t seasons, and. as tho supporters of this theatre aro peculiarly loyal, there Is no reason why she should nnt be acceptahlo oneemore. Next week \The Powerof the Press\ will be acted at the Grand for the first timedown town since Its original production at the Star. \The Fatrios Well.\ a romantlo Irish drama by Con T. Murpliy. who wroto \ The Ivy Leaf.\ and fifty other plays, will bo the change ot bill at Jacobs'sthls week. It is well known and highly favored on tho east side, for it has been played there often, and always to tho accom- paniment of vociferous npplnudits. Carro'l Johnson was lost year's 6tar in \ThoFaries' Well.\ but he has gone starring on his own hook, and the broth of a hero is nowimporson-ate- d by W. II. Tlmmons. who Is not so well re- membered here, though he is favorably spoken of. The play will be hailed with relief by audiences, after last week's failure by the New England students ot acting. This will bo a week of hilarious mirth at the People's, for \ Later On \ Is come back to the Bowery, and Hallen and Hart are again to face their fond admirers. The farce wears well, and the young stars are growing rich : but they de- serve their prosperity, because their show is clean and clever in every portion. The People's audiences will And plenty ot catchy new mnsic and fresh wit In this year's edition of Later On.\ Hart has composed all the music and that in itself is an unusual feature ot variety farce. \The Two Sisters.\ a sensational play ot NewTork. by George W. Ryer and Denman Thompson, originally acted at NIblo's two sea- sons ago. and since then a fixture among trav- elling dramas, will bo revived night at the Windsor, where It has been seen more than once before. It is strongest in Its humor, which is quaint and clean: but It has several character sketches that are clever, and some of Its more exciting episodes aro effective. Most of the theatres in town announce an extra matinee on election day. The holiday Is a profitable ono tor the play houses. At night on more than ono stage the election returns will be read. The Interruption of the course of the play may shock the nerves of sensitive auditors, but everybody must expect It and excuso it The cutom is purely American and it is worth preserving. William J. Florence and his wife will rounito professionally next season, and Joseph Jeffer- son will bo an affluent Idler. Edgar Fawcett has written a play called \Constantine.\ Young Salvlnl. who Is on an American tour in plays ot the romantic school, will soon make a more ambitious essay In \Othello.\ literally if cot artistically wearing his father's mantle. Jamea M. Hill's broken leg is so bad that he will bo disabled for several months. Frank Mayo and JIcKco Raukln have separated in the project of a joint tour In a nw adaptation of Wilkie Collins's \Man and Wife.\ W. 8. Glltort told a London magazine in- terviewer that ho regarded \Gretchen\ as his best.play. although it was a staga failure, whilo his worst one. which ho did not name, had two years of success.

At the Theatres, Tho play which mado tho Into Hartley Camp-bo- ll famous In a night nnd which made Louis Aldrich rich during n few ensuing years, \ My Partner,\ has been revived by Aldrich and a s'lltnble company. It will be performed throughout the present week at the Leo Avo-nu- o Academy, Brooklyn. It Is an excollent drama, forcible and direct in its story, simple and extremely effoctive in Its treatment ot the theme, nnd particularly happy in its charac- terization of a group of Wostern persons.
