DRAMATIC NOTES. Wantep-~a Juliet. Eu1 Perkins is nof going on the stage. The stage breathes freely once more. ‘There is no truth in the rumor that Anna the Ambitious is going to play Afacbeth. Bany’s BuTTONHOLes are being attended to at the Park, and the attendance increases in consequence. Harry Becker has got back from Europe in time to revive the memories of his burlesque glories, by attending the performances of the Lydia ‘Thompson ‘I'roupe. Some one who knows, speaking of “Pink Dominos,” says it’s so terribly naughty that you can’t get a decent orchestra seat unless you order it two weeks in advance. Joe Howarp, alias M. ‘I. Jugg, alias Mon- cur X., sated with the glories of the quill, talks of going into the lecture field. ‘* Human Cussedness all Round,” is spoken of as his sub- ject. Witte Epouts. of the Lydia ‘Thompson ‘Troupe, is out-Parsloeing Parsloe as the China- man; and the healthy Heathen cavorts theatri- cally muchee plenty topside. We have at last struck the vein of the at American but we refrain, Mr. Den ‘THomPsos will open in Baltimore, on the first of September, as Joshua Whitcomb. ‘The part of Ney Primrose will introduce to the public a beautiful débutante, Miss Blanche Hayden, who is said, on the authority of a New York critic, to possess great talent. Cuarves Gayeer has written “ Love Among iss Jennie Hughes. We don’t blame Charles Gayler. But what the world has ever done to Jennie Hughes that she should want to wreak vengeance upon it as a star, is beyond our comprehension. Count Joannes denies the report that he is writing a play. He sticks his noble palm in the inside-pocket of his medal-laden coat, and says in the voice of one who has seen many vicissitudes, but whose pride is uncon- quered still: ‘I have not got to that yet!” JANAUSCHEK is not going tosupport Fechter. And Fechter gets out of the dilemma by de- | clining to support Janauschek. But while these lesser stars flicker dimly, Johnny ‘Thompson and Oliver Doud Byron still sail right on in fearless splendor, and Art smiles triumphant from her throne. ‘THat stupendous satire on theatrical man- agers, Josh Chesterfield Hart, once more flaunts his name at the head of the Eagle Novelty ‘Theatre, and as Bardwell Slote looks at the bills of the house—so suddenly turned 1 mate—he winks his eye, and says to himself: “It's ad. g. j.iv* Macuus anv Lancaster's play of “Vivienne” is to be done at the New Broadway Theatre, with Florence Fairchild as star. As_ this piece had an uninterrupted run of one night at New- burg, Orange county, and was received with the unstinted approval of the “local co-opera- tive”, we may look forward to a dramatic treat. Joaquin Miter, Mr. and Mrs. McKee- Rankin, and the Danites, will make a com- bined effort at the New Broadway Theatre to- night. With what success we shall be better able to say next week. In the meanwhile the three-sheet “posters of Mrs. McKee-Rankin, got up in imitation of Mrs. ‘Tom-ri-jon, con- tinue to astound the casual observer. # g.j. stands for yood joke, What the #d.” stands for is left to the imagination of the r But an terview with the manager will elicit the interpretation with frequency and vigor. TSN a RADISH ADISH and a rose Grew in one garden-bed, One white as driven snows, ‘The other coarse and red. Face ‘The radish came as lover ‘lo the white rose pale and sweet, faint and fair, the rover West-wind scarce dared to greet. ‘The rose the west-wind kissed ‘The radish won and wed; But ere the summer wist, Her flower of flowers was dead. Her sisters wept about her; “ My love!” the west-wind cried; ‘The radish waxed the stouter, And wondered why she died. When earthly grossness marries A soul its own above, Death, that stays not nor tarries, Does but the will of Love. H.C. Bunner, “Tne Arcadian is to be revived in September. We hope that its publisher has given over his tendency to write leading articles in broken Bulgarian. It is, however, satisfactory to know that the paper will be under the editorial charge of Mr. Ernest Harvier, the able dramatic cri- tic, whowill undoubtedly bring it up to a stand- ard, as a theatrical journal, far above that of the so-called dramatic sheets now in the field. Fiorence, having bravely rescued several people from watery graves during the summer, and placed his name high on the scroll of valor, is to float the ‘Mighty Dollar” at the Eagle next Monday night. The latter task, in view of the lack of novelty, would appear the more difficult; but Af/rs. General Giiflory has laid ina fresh supply of brilliant costumes, which are expected to draw—if the piece shouldn't. Even Piympron, the Romeo of last season, has got back to town from the Catskills, | where he has been wooing the summer breezes jand the stray Capulets, and is now ready to | support any one who comes along, In the ab- sence of Adelaidé the Adorable, which of the other Jufiets wants a Romeo “as is" a Romeo for next season? Don’t all speak at once. We havn't had the last of the ‘Two Or- phans” yet. ‘They have broken out at Woqd's ‘Theatre. Well, after Uncle‘l'om’s Cabin, any- thing is a novelty. Ir we are to be denied the pleasure of sceing Mr. and Mrs. Chanfrau act together, there is | some satisfaction in knowing that Mrs. C. fol- lows immediately upon her husband's foot-steps at the Grand Opera House next September. comicbooks.com
