As far as theatrical attractions go,
there will be but two bills at the The
ater this week. The first comes Wed
nesday night when Miss Leah Lessl
■will be seen In the old drama which
never falls to draw tears from the
feminine eyes. "East Lynne." Al Field
and his big minstrel show wUI be here
for three performances toward the end
Of the week. Field is a good drawing
card in Savannah and never fails to
please.
Miss Adelaide Thurston closed her
engagement in "Sweet Clover" with
two performances yesterday to good
houses and she is well pleased with
her reception here. At the matinee, pai -
ticularly, the audience was sympa
thetic and appreciative. “Sweet Clover"
Is a tear-compelling play like ''Hazel
Kirke” and "East Lynne.” and there
were many wet handkerchiefs at the
matinee. Miss Thurston has a career
before her and not an ordinary one
either. To those who have watched her
work for the past few seasons it would
not be surprising to see her a favorite
In New York and the big cities before
very long. Either that, or she will be
another Effie Elisler throughout the
South and other portions of the coun
try.
The following notice of Al Field’s min
strels is from a Nashville paper: There
are some croakers who think that the
day of minstrelsy has passed. It Is
true that there has been an evolution
in this class of amusement, and that
none of the shows of to-day are typical
of the old-time negro minstrels. There
has been a change from what the ris
ing generation saw ten years ago, and
it is constantly going on, necessitated
by the demands of the public to which
such entertainments appeal. In those
shows which are succeeding the
changes are for the betterment of the
entertainment, and the best evidence
that exfsts to prove that their day has
not passed is the patronage that they
receive here and elsewhere.
Al G. Eield returned to the Vendome
last night with the best show he has
ever had—at least it is the best that
he has ever given here, and he has
made Nashville every year for a num
ber past. In the advance notices there
were made certain promises, all of
which were carried out In the perform
ance. The first part fully meets ex
pectations. and the olio is made up of
high class specialties, none of them
below the average and most of them
way above it.
Admirers of Mrs. Henry Wood’s
novel "East Lynne" will be given a
treat next Thursday matinee and night,
when Miss Leah Lessi will present her
own dramatization of the story. It is
declared to be the best version that

Lessl, in her dramatization, has fol

Mme. Lillian Nordica, Just now in
the height of her career, and in the
zenith of her power and fame, is to
make her first recital tour in her na
tive land this coming season. She has
appeared in many American cities at
various times during the past twelve
years; in grand opera, as star soloist
at great music festivals, and with the
leading symphony orchestras; on inde
pendent concert programmes; and she
has toured at the head of her own
concert companies, but never before
have American audiences heard her in
recital, when she contributes every
number on the programme except two
by the pianist who accompanies her.
The wondrous beauty of her voice, her
rare and great art, her magnetic per
sonality are all too familiar to need
more than a mention, but the wonder
ful versatility that makes her at once
mistress of a great dramatic song, a
florid Italian aria, piquant French
chanson, an exquisite German lied, and
a simple English ballad, enables her to
provide a programme which, for va
riety and rare artistic delight, cannot
be approached by any other singer be
fore the public to-day, and which even
Mme. Nordica has never before had
1 opportunity to demonstrate in this
i country. Loudon G. Charlton, who is
the sole manager of her recital tour,
| announces that the bookings now be
j ing rapidly made will include, Canada,
Texas and the Pacific coast, as well as
the territory between.
If Manager Seeskind is successful in
getting enough subscribers Mme. Nor
dica will sing here in January.
Wilton Laekeye and Theodore Rob
erts are to retire from the cast of
Hackett’s "Don Caeser’s Return” and
go back to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for
awhile in Boston. Laekeye will once
more do "Uncle Tom” and Roberts his
startling creation of Simon Lagree.
Among the new stars in the theatri
cal firmament this season, no one has
achieved such genuine success as Mr.
Frederick Suminerfleld. who is being
brought forward by Mr. Sol Smith
Russell's old manager, Mr. Frederick
G. Berger. Mr. Summerfield ts book
ed for an early appearance here, and
will be seen In Mr. Russell's famous
play "A Poor Relation.”

Klaw & Erlanger Opera Company,
which is presenting deKoven & Smith s
"Foxy Quiller’’ this season. The organ
ization is the largest and most com
plete which has ever appeared in com
ic opera in this country. It is headed
by Jerome Sykes, the best of the sing
ing comedians of the day, and includes
such artists as Miss Eleanor Kent,
Miss Grace Cameron, Miss Almira For
rest, Miss Lillian Seville, Miss Marian
Pent, Miss Marie Christie, Mr. Julius
Steger, Mr. Adolph Zink, the lillipu
tlan comedian. Mr. Harry MacDon
ough, Mr. Louis Cassavant and others,
and a special orchestra under Sig A.
DeNoveliis.
Mr. Sykes' "Foxy Quiller” is famous
the country over. There is a delicious
unction, and a bland, broad apprecia
tion in his peculiar humor that is ir
resistible. The character is the same as
that in "The Highwayman,” but his
associates and the scenery are entirely
new.
"Foxy Quiller" is the most pronounc
ed of the comic opera successes of re
cent years, which emphasizes the fact
that bright, sharp, clean fun, presented
by a great company, is the surest road
to popular appi oval. Regular prices
will obtain during the stay of “Foxy
Quiller.” The attraction Is an extraor
dinary one, but Klaw & Erlanger have
decided that the prices throughout the
tour shall remain at the standard set
for first-ciass companies. "Foxy Quil
ler” will appear early this season.
Lewis Morrison commenced his sea
son's tour in "Faußt” at Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Monday, under the direction of
Jules Murry. An amusing Incident
happened at the wharf in Brooklyn
prior to the sailing of the steamer Sil
via on which the entire company were
embarked for Halifax. The captain
had been persuaded to vacate his state
room in favor of Morrison on payment
of a substantial consideration, and
elaborate preparation had been made
to provide for the comfort of the fam
ous Mephisto, who drove to the wharf,
scanned the horizon where some sus
picious looking clouds were banking up,
and, deciding that a Journey by rail
was good enough, re-entered his car
riage, drove to the Grand Central depot
and proceeded by rail to Boston, thence
to Halifax. The Mephisto-like cunning
of this move was later made apparent
by a letter from the business manager
of the company to Jules Murry’s New
York office. "I enclose you rebate
granted by shipowners, account of Mr.
Morrison not taking passage. I also
tried to get rebate for meals as the
whole company were, like mvself,
frightfully seasick, and never ate a
meal on the entire voyage. The boat
went about one hundred feet up in the
air every two minutes, and as it had
to come down again something was do
ing all the time. Last I saw of Faust
he was holding Marguerite’s head and
Martha was rolling in the lee scuppers,
which is not such a bad place as Its
name makes It sound—at least not for
the purpose. I congratulate Mr. Mor
rison for his discernment. We are not
ail fully recovered yet.”

saint, “would not have been possible
in Mexico, a country where attempted
assassination is one of the expected
Incidents of government. President
Diaz never takes a walk on the street
or in any public place without secret
service men watching over him. No
body with his hand wrapped up or
with a hand in his pocket could ap
proach him without being stopped. One
morning a lame man. carrying a heavy
cane, was passing him on the street.
A detective brushed against the man
as if by aeident and knocked the cane
out of his hand. He picked it up and
returned it to the man with profuse
apologies but while he had the cane
in his h a he gave the head a turn
and a p. . to satisfy himself that It
was not a sword cane. Another time
an old woman, carrying a pasket on
her arm, was stopped because her hand
was concealed in the basket. The de
tective lifted her hand out of the bas
ket, and seeing that it held no weapon,
apologized for the liberty. Attempts on
the life of Diaz have been made, and
no precaution has been spared to pre
vent a repetition of them. If a man
clasps his hands behind him while he
is talking with a public man a detec
tive will suggest that he allow his
hands to hang naturally at hia aide.”

the plays herself.”—New York Weekly.
