When on the first night of ** Prince Otto” the actor-dramatist was called before the urtain after the fourth act, and in a modest ittle speech declared that he took refuge behind | the genius of Robert Louis Stevenson, whose novel he had treated in a spirit of reverence and without travesty, he was deservedly ap- plauded, because his work gave earnest of just that sincerity. Not always, alas! is sincerity of purpose crowned with success in execution ; but in this case it is. Mr. Skinner's hunter- stockings in the first act were too green, his waistcoat was too scarlet, and his manner seemed a trifle more robustious than princel but he triumphed over all these things ere the first curtain fell. He has proved himself an acceptable romantic actor without once draw- ing a sword, though the temptation must have been well-nigh irresistible in the “revolt” scenes, His supporting company is excellent, including at least two fascinating femininities in their respective réles—Percy Haswell as the Princess Seraphina, and Grace Filkins as the Countess von Rosen. If the other forthcoming dramatizations of novels, which figure so prom- inently in the season's announcements, shall prove to be up to the "* Prince-Otto” standard, then we may hope to see the stage and good literature in closer relationship than they have been for some years past. A genuine yellow drama has been on view lately at the Star—that historic house of de- parted glory on Broadway, below Fourteenth street, which was Wallack’s theatre a genera- tion ago, in the palmy days of Lester, Per- haps you do not know the precise definition of a yellow drama—in fact, there is none. Gen. erally speaking, however, it is the stage coun- terpart of the yellow newspaper. ‘The specimen at the Star theatre, entitled "' Uncle Sam in China,” is doubly yellow, because of its Mon- golian locale and ‘personnel. ‘This, however, is merely a coincidence. ‘The peculiarity of the yellow drama—for there is only one—is its uni- versal and Protean adaptability. There is al- ways the same old plot, counterplot, climax and ending, with the regulation hero, heroine, | villain and low comedian; but the cards are shufiled over and over again, and dealt in an infinite variety of hands. Sometimes the hero is frozen in at the north pole, and the rescuing heroine is an E girl. Title of play, The White D Next season the scenery is repainted, the costumes changed, and it is “In Mid Sahara,” with the hero a helmeted explorer, the heroine a beauteous captive of some villainous Arab sheik, and burning sands all around instead of ice-floes and below-zero records. During the war-times of the last two or three years it has been all battle and bunting and buncombe. Year before last the "numerous auxiliaries,” or supes, were Spaniards and Cu- bans. Last year the same worthies imperson- ated Boers and Britons. Now they have put on saffron and pig-tails, and are awfully fierce boxers, crying ‘* Death ‘to all foreign devils !" the latter being represented by an American sailor or two and a comic missionary. Always the same old characters and plot. | Verily, for up-to-datedness, the yellow drama is a wonder. The forty odd play-houses of Manhattan are to have two important additions to their num- ber this season, Oscar Hammerstein, who is a confirmed, habitual theatre-builder, will have his new Republic, on Forty-second street, rea for the production of Herne’s Sag Harbor before the frost is on the punkin’ or the corn is in the shock, The establishment on Thirty- fourth street. erstwhile known as the Schley music-hall will be re-christened the Savoy, and is announced to present members of the Eng- lish nobility in musical burlesque as soon as Messrs, Aarons, Chamberlyn, Henderson, Des- sau, et al., can’ find out which of them’ is in control of the place. They will throw dice again next week. WYCKOFF, SEAMANS & BENEDICT, 327 Broadway, New York. Established 1823. WILSON WHISKEY. That’s All! ‘THE WILSON DISTILLING CO, Baltimore Md.
