DE WOLF HOPPER.In "Mr. Pickwick."

Macbeth and his wife, what redeemingqualities have they? We go to the theaterto be edified by the sight of character atleast as noble as ourselves, and here theauthor compels us to witness the Infamousplottings of a couple of murderers!

To be sure, nobody, not even th? dra-

matic critic of a New York daily, does sayjust this at this late hour. But if Shak-speare was our contemporary and sent anew play over to America once every yearor so, as does Plnero, we should be treatedto precisely such rubbish as above sug-

gested.PRAISE FOR PINERO.

Morality on the stage (as in novels) Isnothing more nor less than truthfulnessand seriousness in the presentation ofimportant human relations. Mr. Plnero isas truthful as he is serious. He is, more-over or, rather, he has of late developedinto as great a technician as at all knownto the modern stage. His last three or fourdramas are in nowise technically Inferiorto Henrik Ibsen's best work. They are, atthe same time, richer, stronger, more sub-

stantialif the term be here allowable Inpoint of humanity. The most importantFrench dramatist of the day, Paul Ikrvteu.is peevish, labored, mathematically calculat-ing by the side of this robust, witty Eng-

lishman, whose logic is that of life itself.In Germany, Sudermann is almost alwaystoo obviously theatrical, and Hauptmann,who Is something of a poet and a thinker,has not yet demonstrated any thoroughmastery of the dramatic form.

The truth of the matter is, that Plnero isa very big man, who will be played, readand discussed when even the tombstonesof his present assailants have crumbledinto dust.

It is gratifying to observe that so great aplay as "Iris" gets so adequate a presenta-tion as actually is the case. Miss Harnedhas here grown several inches, artistically.The part which is one which would fitMadame Rejane perfectly almost looksas if it was written with her in mind,though such is probably not the case. MissHarned is heavier, more emphatic and ob- -

vlous than the French actress would havebeen, and than the part demands, but shehas charm, sincerity and, occasionally, sur-prising force. Still better quite unsurpass-able, in fact is the English actor, OscarAsche, as Maldonado a character abso-

lutely new to the stage, east in lifelike full-ness and weight by the author, and imper-sonated with complete understanding bythis "new man" new, at any rate, on thisside of the Atlantic. This massive, irresist-ible speculator, who mows down all rivalsin his field of enterprise, but weakensmore than momentarily under a prettywoman's spell, is as pathetic a figure as ithas ever been the lot of the present genera-tion to watch across the footlights.

The remainder of the cast is altogethercapable and satisfactory. So large a stockof charming actresses is at the commandof Mr. Frohman that he may afford tokeep the pretty and talented Rachel Crownin thje background, doing little things un-

ostentatiously. She will get to the front,though, some day.

formances will be given every afternoonand evening except Wednesday and Satur-day evenings. Charles Frohman presentsit as an oddity that may catch the dollarsof a curious public.

Julia Marlowe, as usual. Is announcing agreat deal more than she will materialize.Besides Catulle Mendes's "Queen Fia-mett- e"

she says she will present this sea-son Esmond's "Grierson's Way," a drama-tization of "The Redemption of David Cor-

son," a dramatization of Cable's "TheCavalier" and a Shakspearean play. Infact, she will devote all season to the playIn which there proves to be the mostmoney. Of course a trial or two may benecessary before this felicitous art workbe settled on. From observation of MissMarlowe's campaign in the last severalyears there is no reason to believe that shewould not have continued to act in "WhenKnighthood was in Flower" during this itsthird season if the public were willing tocontinue to pay $1,000 a day for the melo-drama. Miss Marlowe is the most In-

genuous and ingenious actress on the Amer-ican stage. xxx

"The Daughters of Hamilcar," a playwritten by Stanislaus Stange for BlancheWalsh, will have Incidental music byHenry K. Hadley, whose symphony wonthe Paderewski prize last year.

xxxMartin Harvey will begin bis American

tour on Oct. 20 at the Herald-squar- e The-ater, New York, in "The Only Way." Healso will be seen in "The Children of theKing" and "The Cigarette Maker's Ro-

mance."XXX

Henry Irv ing and Ellen Terry have beguna tour of the English provinces in "TheMerchant of Venice," "Faust." "TheBells." "Nance Oldfleld" and "Waterloo."

XXXWilliam Winter, in the New York Trib-

une, writes as follows of "Heard at theTelephone," an importation from Antolne'sTheater, in Paris:

A one-a- ct play that grimly utilizes thetelephone, was presented last night at theGarrick Theater with Mr. Edwin Stevensin its central part. It comes from theFrench, and lately It has attracted somelittle attention in London as well as Parisby reason of its grh iy novelty. It consistsof a situation and a monologue. Its princi-pal character, Andre Mar ex, standing ata telephone, listens to words and soundstransmitted from his home, and repeatsthe substance of this auricular impartment,which Is the story of a murderous attackon his wife her death shriek and his re-

sponsive cry of agony being its frightfulclose. The dramatic merit of the fabricin so far as it possesses any Ilea in Its pro-vision for variable, rapidly changing emo-tion and cumulative excitement, ending infrenzy, of the telephonic narrator. It con-

tains two scenes. The first prepares thesituation and the second displays it. Atfirst Andre is shown, equipped for a jour-ney, taking leave of his wife and house-hold in a lonely dwelling at some distancefrom Paris, a'nd he is made to use the tele-phone to communicate with the friends inParis at whose dwelling his journey is toend. Peril is suggested and a slight at-mosphere of suspense is created. At thelast Andre is shown in the society of hisParisian friends, and then and there hereceives the telephonic message from hiswife. The effect that has been sought inthis composition will be found, in consum

. BHe Um.

Cahill the star of another performance ofsimilar character, now running in thistown-"Sa- lly In Our Alley." It is a pity thatin the United States there seems to be noman as clever as those who, for years,fitted Madame Judlc so well in comedieswith songs. Miss Cahill is as genuine anartist as both Judic and Yvette Guilbert.and in better plays, with songs of a higherorder, she could go all over the world inone uninterrupted triumph.

MRS. FISKE S VENTURE.Our other women stars have, with one or

two exceptions, not yet been seen in thenew plays which are promised this season.Mr9. Fiske is preparing Paul Heyse's."Mary of Magdala." It Is, in more thanone respect, a bold experiment. I hope theeminent actress will shine in her portrayalof the biblical character, but I confess tosome misgivings as to the possible successof the play itself. Heyse is now over sev-

enty, and has written a great number oftragedies and dramas, but, so far, he hasnot been able to produce one really vitalplay. It seems hardly probable that, so latein life, he should have discovered the truedramatist's secret, but possibly Mrs. Fiskeand her able company may supply what thedrama itself lacks.

A very young actress. Miss Grace George,Justly attracted attention last season, notso much by her acting in "Under SouthernSkies," as when she appeared in the titlepart of Froufrou. In the former play shehad shown what everybody knew her topossess, a charming, girlish personality andan unfailing artistic taste; in Aimee Des-clee- 's

and Sarah Bernhardt s old and verydifficult part she revealed a force, a pas-sion that had heretofore remained latent.This young woman may some day be highup on the ladder.

Another actress of more experience thanMiss George has, within the last week,risen to a far higher plane than the oneheretofore occupied by her. I allude toMisS'Virginla Harned, to whom Mr. CharlesFrohman, with wise discernment, allottedthe title part in Arthur Wina Pinero's lat-est drama, "Iris." May I be allowed to saya few words about this play, which, at thishour, is being discussed here in New Yorkso copiously, and mostly with so little in-

telligence.MORAL. QUESTIONS IN DRAMA.

Its immediate predecessor, "The GayLord Quex," gave rise to much silly com-

ment Here was a play in which a manwith both a past and a pluperfect was notonly left unpunished, but allowed to marrya sweet young girl. Of course, we all knowthat in life countless rakes are dealt withjust as leniently, even though they maynever have revealed such unmistakablesigns of both manly and gentlemanlyqualities as those perceived through themist of cynicism surrounding Lord Quex.Moreover, the girl of very common talkand manners, but very uncommon stout-ness of heart, who, in the play, puts her-self about to thwart his lordship's schemes

Sophie Fullgarney, was Just such a de-

lightful and essentially righteous creatureas one would think might obtain pardonfor all the other sinners. But no! LordQuex was not hanged and quartered onthe stage hence the play was "immoral."Now comes Iris, in which the weak anderring heroine is treated with as much se-

verity as a whole court of Mrs. Grundyscould desire, and behold! this drama isalso decried as unholy, because so thecriers aver snly exemplary wives, modelmothers and Impeccable daughters are.worthy of dramatic presentation. A mostmarvelous argumentation, but not one ofstriking originality. We have heard it be-

fore, and we shall hear it again, as oftenas a writer novelist or damatist treatsserious moral conflicts in a serious manner.For, mark it well! you are free to triflewith these topics, as is done all the timeby so many makers of farce-come- dy andmusical absurdity. It is earnestness in thehandling of a subject of this kind thatnukes it "immoral."

IF SHAKSPEARE WERE MODERN.There is one whom we may well call hap-

py, because he is dead, and there is a cer-tain Englishman who wrote some playscalled "Hamlet," "Antony and Cleopatra,""Othello" and "Macbeth." What a loath-some story, that of Hamlet! His mother-w- ell,

the less said the better! Surely, theauthoress of the "Elsie Books" would nev-er have given Queen Gertrude a prominentplace in any of her tales. And that otherQueen, Cleopatra! was she in any respecta model whose life history might safely beexpounded before the inmates of a girlsboarding school? Not even Shakspeare norMr. Plnero would answer yes. And what awretched husband Othello made! Besides,he was allowed to murder Desdemona anact that a chorus of modern dramatic crit-ics unanimously and harmoniously woulddeclare contrary to all poetic Justice. As for

GEORGE PARSONS.In "Would You For Five Millions?"

Andre Marex sustaining himself, by dintof impassioned earnestiv as, in a plight ofagonizing trial has long b. en known as anexpositor of eccentric character, both ser-

ious and comic, but not as an interpreterof tragic emotion, for which, indeed, hereveals neither physical aptitude normarked spiritual power. Characters ofmental force and deep sincerity, floweringIn elaborate manners, formidable or quaint,are well within his reach, but his fine stylebecomes flurried and nerveless amid thetumults and vicissitudes of passion. Heshowed a fine personality, and he success-fully expressed a mental condition thatgradually changes from gentle levity toanxiety and then to fear and dread, andthis he did with refinement of manner andmuch and natural variety of articulation;and at the climax he simulated overwhelm-ing consternation and anguish, but henever once communicated the thrill of pas-

sion and tremor of terror.The play is not commendable for intrin-

sic worth for the reason that it impartsnothing of any value to the auditor. Hor-ror and distress can be made tributary toimaginative purpose, as in the murderscene in "Macbeth," but horror, presentedmerely for its own sake as a naked fact--Is

gross, shocking and inartistic. "Were itotherwise "Titus Andronicus" would be agood play, and Dickens's "Nancy," dabbledwith gore, a sympathetic spectacle where-as they are revolting atrocities. The per-formance given by Mr. Stevens is credita-ble to him as a respectable effort In a moodthat is foreign to his temperament and atvariance with his person; but, like theplay which it inhabits, it is only a curiosityand the freak of a moment.

Leonora Jackson has returned to Berlinto study for two years. She spent lastseason and the season before in playing inthis country.

Pupils of William H. Wilkinson will givea song recital in the small auditorium ofthe German House to-morr- evening.Bergen Plummer, violinist, will assist.

Maud White, Isa-bel- le

Urquhart. Maye Louise Aigen. MyrtleMay.Georgle Drew Mendura and BelleRobinson.

enough in this city to make it familiar totheater-goer- s. It is one of the better comicoperas. This season's company Is led by J.C. Miron, who came last season with "TheChaperons." and who was the originalBrevet in "The Princess Chic." The namepart is sung by Christine Hudson.

Snodgrass, Arabella,Polly, Old Weiler, Mr. Wardle and the oth-er principal characters are presented insome of the comic activity that CharlesDickens described. In what degree the fineflavor of the author s humor has been pre-served, is, of course, a matter for specula-tion, but the actors are of capable sort.Among them are Digby Bell, Grant Stew-art. Henry Norman. Louis Gunning, LauraJoyce Bell and Marguerite Clark.

XXXStuart Robson will personate in "A Com-

edy of Errors," .on Saturday, characterwith which he has been most intimatein his long career. His principal workthis season is in the ShaTtspeare com-edy, and of this he has made an im-portant production. The Dromlo of Ephe-su- s

SMSMascagni's company and orchestra ar-

rived in New York on last Wednesday andimmediately went into rehearsal at thMetropolitan Opera House. Most of themhad never before taken a sea voyage olmore than a few hours, and as it took themsixteen days to come from Genoa to NeuYork they suffered intensely from sea sick-nes- s

and nostalgia. No sooner had thejset foot on American soil than they de-clar-ed

through Mascagni's secretary, theonly one of them that can speak English-th- at

they liked this country immensely. Allmusicians love America, except those thaiare born and reared here. Mascagni him-self was expected to get Into New Yorilast evening. He came, to be sure, on ncsixteen-da- y boat. Liebler a Co., producersof Hall Caines "The Eternal City." foiwhich Mascagni has written incidentalmusic, will try to persuade him to go tWashington and conduct the orchestra atthe first performance of the play to-morr-

evening. His own managers, MittenthalBros, a Kronberg. will insist that he shallnot go and waMe his sweetness on foithem the desert air. No arrangement hasyet been made for the engagement of thMascagni company In Indianapolis, but itis expected that it will give at least onperformance here.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal.NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Not quite a year

ago I wrote in this paper about Mr. ClydeFitch's remarkable ability for discoveringand placing to advantage actors and act-resses, particularly comediennes. I sug-gested that Mr. Fiteh do something forMarie Cahill who, at the time, was knownto few others than the habitual patrons ofso-call- ed "musical comedy" a dramaticgenre that, as a rule, steers scrupulouslyclear of anything pertaining to art. I wasinformed afterwards that Mr. Fitch madeinquiries concerning Miss Cahill andfound that already her salary was so highthat It would be hopeless to try to enticeher over into "the legitimate." Then, lastspring, she appeared here in New York insomething called, for mysterious reasons,"The Wild Rose" it might as well havebeen "The Tame Bear." Very inane theconcoction was, but whenever Marie Cahilldropped in on the stage and said funnythings, there was great joy in the audi-ence, and when, in the second act, shestepped down to the footlights and halfsang, half recited, the tale of NancyBrown, she straightway transformed themediocre ditty into a masterpiece of gentlehumor, the stage into a temple of art andherself into the very muse or goddess ofthe sanctuary. She hummed herself intoall hearts, not the least that of her man-ager, who. when the Wild Rose at lastwas wilted 'for good and ever, made Miss
