The girl is an Impostor, but not of ncr own design.

The story is simply that Sydney Austin has written a novel entitled "Tinsel," under the uora de plume of Pascal. It de < Is with soci- ety lift*,m*. the author is so true in his de- piction of New York society that a member of itis suspected of being the author, ami the question of the day is, "Who Is Marius?" 'lhe marriage of Syduey and Annie Austin has not proved a happy one. They have misunderstood each other and become more and more estranged. She becomes infatu- ated with the author of the sensation of the day, Pascal, writing to him under the as- sumed name of Diana, and a correspondence is in progress. Dr. Quattles acts as love's postman for Sydney, and Mrs. Austin for Annie. Sydney finds a letter addressed to his wife on the table, which she quickly snatches from him before he can read the superscription. Be demands an explana- tion, and Mrs. Gwynn claims the letter. .This, however, brings to a climax their cold relations, and they agree to separate. -, In the second act we have Annie at Mrs. Gwynn's with another letter from Pas- cal, who will return all the letters from Diana, A.mie Austin, providing they ex- change letters in person. bo Annie repll**-* to the letter, acquiescing to do so the fol- lowing evening at a soap-bubble party 'o be given by Mrs. Gwynn.

"When Annie comes to meet Pascal she finds Sydney's friend (B-weriy) with the primrose, and is so disappointed that she turns to Mrs. Gwynn to help her out by act- ing the par: of Diana, and receiving her let- ters for her.

Sydney then confesses that he is Pascal, and Annie (his wife) acknowledges herself to be Diana.

Charles Frohman's comedians from Xew York begin a three weeks' engagement at the Baldwin on Monday, January lltli, in William Gillette's masterpiece, "Mr. WiU kinson's Widow*-," to be given for the first time in this city. The farce is adapted from the French of Alexandre Bissou's "Feu Toupinel." Gillette's transfer of Ger- man farces to the English staee, such as "The Private Secretary" and "All the Com- forts of Home," lias been welcomed, and also his great war-drama, "Held by the Enemy." Their success goes without tlie saying. It is patent everywhere. "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" bas been, however, his greatest winning. It is his latest and best play, and has already enjoyed a ran of two hundred and fifty nights in New York City. Mr. Gillette claims he has cleans, i the play entirely, leaving not the slightest taint of the original Parisian indelicacy, and in that respect his work is highly creditable to both his skill and good tense. There are two widows ot the late Mr. Wilkinson, according to the story, who has been regarded in his lifetime as > ledate and discreet London gentleman. His wife in that city had been a decent and sober consort, while another wife in KdiuburgU had been of a contrastingly giddy nature. His death happens before the opening cf the play, and the women are introduced to the audience as brides anew. The English widow becomes the wife of an author, the Scotch one marries a composer, and the two pairs have gone to live in a London apart- mi-nt hou&s. There the perplexities of the four singularly related persons and the merri- ment of the audience begin almost simulta- neously. The disclosure of Mr. Wilkinson's matrimonial duplicity is gradual, and at- tended by many incidents, which make folks laugh immoderately. Till. COMPANY Ha3 been assembled for the solo purpose of performing this farce. The roles are all in the hands of persons best adapted to them, and the result is an excellent cast not only as to the principals, but also in the subordi- nate parts. The name, of the players are: Mrs. Georgle Drew Barry- Mr. Joseph Holland, more. Mr. Thomas Burns. Miss Mattle Ferguson, Mr. Thomas 11. Itil-y, Miss Emily l-._n.__r, Jobu W. Thompson, .Annie Wood, Edward Coleman, and Adelaide Grey, others. Letter From Do Vivo. Slgnor Don Diego writes from New York, under date of December Uf-tli, concerning the new Italian star, Mine. Diligenti, and other matters theatrical. He says the for- eign lady was an artistic success in the play "Elizabeth Soarez" (Sceur Teresa), ac- cording to the unanimous verdict of fifteen Philadelphia critics. But, for all this, he had to withdraw her from the stage on ac- count of bad business. A. M. Palmer has promised her one or two special matinees at his theater in New York, and thfcn the ver- dict of the metropolitan press will be given. According to our correspondent, Diligenti Is an actress of great intelligence, and what the Italians call an "attrice del v°ro" or an actress of the truth. Besides being emo- tional, she is a fair comedienne and has literary ability. She has already translated from the Italian repertoire Ferrari's "La Donna in Carre," to be called "The Living Statue," besides Goldoni's "La Locnndiera" and "Cuvallerla Itu.ti.ana." It is possible traduced into the "Island of Zenobar" since its production that it is now called the sec- ond edition. The concluding week will no doubt be, so far as business Is -concerned, quite up to the standard of tn.se preced- ing it. Fixation of Favorite Opera. The New York Opera Comlque Company, under the direction of Messrs. Burrill, Drew, Hallam and Flint, now at the Orpheum Opera House, is daily growing stronger in g-od opinion of the public. The principals possess agreeable and nicely trait voices, snd the chorus is well drilled. Lest week was run through on the much- used but ever fresh and popular Balfs opera "The Bohemian Girl." People went night after night to listen with tireless Interest to songs that have the same sweet Influence now they had with music-lovers of the last generation. :i*_{ £11 \u25a0 b songs have power to quiet 1bo restless pulse of care. And come like the liene Motion That follows alter prayer. To-morrow evening the company will take up a piquant and sparking operaS .t c -tiled "The Prioeess Trebizonrie," not new by any mentis, but a fresh zest will be given it by these singers. A Circus Without Hornet. When the»vast equestrian establishment of Sells Brothers arrived in Sydney, X. >. W., as we learn from a gentleman who came fiom there on the last trip of the steamship Monowai, the authorities investigated the condition of the circus live stock, and or- dered all the horses into quarantine, from the fact that glanders had developed during the trip from this pert. Two of the animals were ordered shot, out of the band, lt was supposed this fatal disease was caused by the horses being confined in the hold of the steamship. As a consequence of the anti- equine edict, the equestrian feature was alto- gether omitted on the opening night of the circus, and -till the canvas was crowded to its utmost capacity. The show had to de- pend on the menagerie, the acrobats, gym- nasts and trapezists; but it was so well equipped in these rest ects that tho public of Sydney were satisfied, and considered they had received amply their moneys worth. The Sells management had pur- chased a number of colonial horses, and when our informant left, had them trained nearly ready for the ring. Coming ThU VV-vv. From Philadelphia, where "Superba," the big fairy pantomime of the famous Han- lon Brothers, is now playing, the organiza- tion will make rapid strides to this Coast. Playing In Baltimore tho week ending Jan- uary 9th. and opening In Sun Francisco February 22d, is fairly big traveling. Every- thing will be carried as seen In the produc- tion in the East, lt will undoubtedly prove a novelty here, as it is a radical departure for the Ilaulon Brothers and is totally un- like anything yet seen in the spectacular line. -It represents years of labor on the part of the celebrated brothers, who have Introduced so many wonderful specimens of stage magic that they are said to have shown themselves such adepts in inventing mechanical devices as to equal In results nearly as inexplicable illusions as the great magicians have done by their legerdemain. The performance In Philadelphia is alluded to as the Christmas pantomime, and the rage to see it makes it Impossible to accommo- date more than two-thirds of tho comers. One Nail Drives Out Another. What, asks the New York World, has become of the numerous stars of min- strelsy, who, only a few years ago, af- forded so much innocent amusement to the theatergoing public of the day Since farce-comedy has taken such a strong and apparently lasting hold upon the affections of the people the burut-cork entertainers have gradually lost ground, and to-day a minstrel show of the best class would fail to attract half a us.-full of people. And vet a dozen years ago "BillyBirch and Charley Backus drew crowded houses at every performance in their ,l'roadway-street Theater, and tlee was good reason for the applause which they received. Many of the most successful comedians in this form of amusement are dead, but there are a consid- erable number of them still alive, in the prime of life and eager to achieve further tueces. upon the stage. But the change in the public taste has forced them out of the field of their former successes and they have naturally gone Into tho ranks of -farce-com- edy, actors. A certain proportion of the amusement-seekers of every age demand a form of entertainment whose only purpose is to amuse, and though tho means by which this result is. obtained may vary at different times, yet the requirements of litis class of people are so apparent that those who cater bsa improved wonderfully since she was here last The compahv play an engage- ment at the Bush-street Theater. *' Louis X I."

John Maddison Morton, the veteran play- wright, died a fortnight ago in London. lie was the son of the late Thomas Morton, au- thor of '"Steeli the Plow" and "Town and Country," and was born January 3, 1809.

Mr. Daniel Sully will present his now play with this title at the Bush-street Theater to- morrow evening. It is said to be a play of marked dramatic possibilities, with a story that sustains its interest to the end. It is not lacking in realism, the railroad building scene in the secoud act being particularly lifelike. " The Millionaire " is one of those plays that will excite critical enthusiasm, and it has many excellencies that other dramas of the present day do not posses. in tin* first place it aims to present a moral hero drawn from actual life, and It does present him without any extraneous theatric non- sense and without any sophistry, lt is the story of an Irishman who is proud to be an American, and who has a clean, healthy, simple sense of the heroism of labor and the honor of doing his duty. The play has an ethical and a literary value. Mr. Sully in this play presents a manly unpretentious type of Irishman, In contradistinction to the cram-out stage type. And he plays the per- sonage with a simple sincerity that is very effective and admirable.

Mr. Charles Pechin, one of the best barytones that ever added eclat to our. local concert seasons, has shaken the dust of tho metropolis from his feet and retired to a ten-acre place In Healdsburg, Sonoma Conn- ty. Why he did this is, of course, his own business. But from an artistic standpoint we regret it. What is San Francisco's loss is Healdsburg's gain. We expect him (be- cause he is au enthusiast in music) to create such a revival in the divine art all through Russian River Valley as will make San Fianclsco jealous. A Silver-Lined Cloud. On New Year's eve at the Baldwin Thea- ter, immediately after the curtain de- scended, Mr. Fitzgerald, the stage manager, approached Mr. Carleton and insisted upon Ins going to the green-room to settle a mat- ter of discipline, as he said, between him- self and Mr. Bigelow. Mr.. Carleton in a spirit of conciliation remarked, "Da not let us have any annoyance on the eve of the New. Year"; but as Mr. Fitzgerald seemed very persistent he went with him to the green-room, where, to his great surprise, he found the maj -rity of the company waiting to receive him. Finding no evidence of en- mity between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Bige- low, he asked for an explanation. It was given in the removal of a cloth from the table on which a very elaborate set of silver siiioking-serv.ee, made specially by Shrew, was disclosed, ami which was presented to Mr. Carleton with the strongest expres- sions of good will and wishes for a hapoy New Year by the members of the company. The Old Game nix \u25a0_» -.-. . r. The New York Sun charges that the comedy, "That Girl From Mexico," played lv Sydney and Gladys Drew, i. plagiarism of the old English farce, "Who Killed Cock Robin?" tir-i acted in London, in 1869b and written by Charles Mathews, a finished and clever dramatist. On February 8, IS."*.;, it was acted in New York at the Olympic, where Mrs. John Wood played the Castillan heroine, J. 11. Stodd.irt the parent in search of a quiet life, Eliza Newton the forward servant and K. L. Davenport the audacious hero. It ran two weeks at the Olympic, and it was therefore a pretty good thing, as farces went in those days, There is nothing new under the sun. Mr. Gordon, who filched from Mathews, may be surprised to learn that Mathews, in turn, stole from the French; but Mathews is dead, and Gor- don cannot be forgiven. Mathews, at least, furnished the Euglish for trie farce, and Gold has taken many of the bright lines which Mathews turned over. At the same time he has displayed ingenuity in elongat- ing and modernizing the st-g-y and in the introduction of new characters. "«' inin. Up to Hate." Signer Paette, late leading barytone with Emma Abbott and now singing In the New York Casino Company, will probably replace John Dyllyn In Mrs. Jennie Kimball's "Carmen Up to Date" Company. This company bas been strengthened by the ad- dition of John Gilbert, the comedian, and several other clever people. Corinne plays the leading rol., and it is .aid that her voice "/am the cook."

Palmer's excellent company to this city for_ two weeks' date at the California is anevent of pleading importance. During thisirtisiV engagement at theffiaidwin he com-

manded the admiration of all art-lovers, andto see him in a new role next Monday nightwill be most interesting. The. play to be{•resented i-Henry Arthur Jonps' widelycelebrated "Judah," which, it will be re-membered, agitated theatrical circles great;

-* year and a half ago when produced byMr. Willard In London. It presents thedistinguished star in the title role of JudahLlewellyn, a young clergyman, and is saidto be a very fine biec? of dramatic writing,Aside from the character whb falls to Mr.Willard there are a number of important

roles. Miss Marie Burroughs will be theVashti Dethic and her many friends herewill find her well provided withopportunitytoshine.

THE STOGY OF "JXDATT.'

The piece being new in ban Francisco thePlot or story willbe of interest. Itruns asfollows:

Judat LlewellynIs a young Welsh Presbyter-ian minister of unusual character. His life hasb- en apatt from the world and its contaminationand his habit of thought has been -lugularlypure, wlen a boy he tended his father's sh eninWales, and lvthis solitary occupation becamea dreamer and a mystic, thinking d-enly on spir-itual matter* and -Meruit; Into communion withnature which lent color to his character as aman.He believed that he heard voices inth.air about\u25a0bun, and these led him Into the ministry, where,

-I the opening of the play, he is the occupant ofapulpit in the town of Ueachampton, England,and has made a reputation for his feividelo-queue. _. .

An old friend of theKailIs Professor Jopn. a scientist, who scoffs attbe claims of the faith-healer. But the Kailcandeny bis daughter nothing aud consents thatYashll Deihlc be sent for.«| Jij.au LLEWELLYNHas met Miss D.thlc and fallen deeply in lovewitn ber, but reverently, vvoishlplully,for he be-lieves her to possess a divine power of healingthe sick. The girlis an Impostor, but not of ncrown design. She began by half believing Inherabilityto work cures, and her rascally old faiber,seeing how credulous the public was, "man-aged" her and made her a sensation, fie repie-

s.nied that she only attained the ,ower to cureby long fasting, hut he had by stealth suppliedhis daughter with food during these periods ofabstinence. Tbe girlrevolts at the swindle towhich she Is mad. a party, but the father re-minds her that if she throws of the mask shewillbe si-nt to jail,the l.w-li.h law providing apenally for that sort, of offense. So she keepsou,reluctantly.

BEFORE MISS DETHIC '

Undertakes the cure of Lady Eve, ProfessorJopp proposes to .upetinteud the fast of threeweeks which she baa to undergo, and finds ableallies Ina number of olheis who share his skep-ticism. Judah, however, champions the girl as

At last, rendered desperate fay hisfears for his daughter's life,he lakes unusualchance, and Is delected by Judah just as theguiltof both the girl and himself i.conclusivelyshown.

To do this he Is

-compelled to tell a delibera c lie under hispriestly robe, but he does itunhesitatingly forthe sake of tin- woman he loves.

lit- Alcazar management will gratify Itspatrons by producing another Daly Ger-

mano-American piece to-morrow evening.The story is simply that Sydney Austin haswritten a novel entitled "Tinsel," under theuora de plume of Pascal. Itde <Is with soci-ety lift*,m*. the author is so true in his de-piction of New York society that a memberof itis suspected of being the author, amithe question of the day is, "WhoIs Marius?"'lhe marriage of Syduey and Annie Austinhas not proved a happy one. They havemisunderstood each other and become moreand more estranged. She becomes infatu-ated with the author of the sensation of theday, Pascal, writing to him under the as-sumed name of Diana, and a correspondenceis in progress. Dr. Quattles acts as love'spostman for Sydney, and Mrs. Austin forAnnie. Sydney finds a letter addressed tohis wife on the table, which she quicklysnatches from him before he can read thesuperscription. Be demands an explana-tion, and Mrs. Gwynn claims the letter.

.This, however, brings to a climax their coldrelations, and they agree to separate. • -,

In the second act we have Annie at Mrs.Gwynn's with another letter from Pas-cal, who will return all the letters fromDiana, A.mie Austin, providing they ex-change letters in person. bo Annie repll**-*to the letter, acquiescing to do so the fol-lowing evening at a soap-bubble party 'o begiven by Mrs. Gwynn. The letter is en-trusted to Dr. Quattles. but Mrs. Gwynn isdetected in the act ofgiving it to him. 'liedoctor does not want his wife to see it, sohe places it in .1 music-book. Ev< onnow st tempt- to secure tie book. FinallyDr. Quattles puts it In a vase that his wifebrought for inspection. Tho v.i-*o has nobottom, and when he picks itup the letterremains on the table and is seized by biswife. Sydney comes to the party to meetDiana, who i- to wear a tea-rose and he aprimrose. They meet and hastily throwaway their dowers. An explanation en-sues, which opens their eyes t \u25a0• the facttint they both love each oilier after

nil. "When Annie comes to meet Pascal shefinds Sydney's friend (B-weriy) with theprimrose, and is so disappointed that sheturns to Mrs. Gwynn to help her out by act-ing the par: of Diana, and receiving her let-ters for her. She does so. Then Mrs.Quattles comes in. veiled, with a tea-rose,determined to discover the author of thenovel. Bitteredge, a newspaier reporter,also determined to discover the author,comes on win* a primrose and lias a scenewilh Sirs, Quattles, to the amusement of allwho are observers. Sydney then confessesthat he is Pascal, and Annie (his wife)acknowledges herself to be Diana. So thehusband and wife hive made love to eachother under assume;! name**, arid find thatthey have been created for each other. Alltheir past differences now end in soap-bubbles, and love kicks away the crutches.

"Mr. .Vimiii.-:-*-* -Widows."Charles Frohman's comedians from Xew

York begin a three weeks' engagement atthe Baldwin on Monday, January lltli, inWilliam Gillette's masterpiece, "Mr. WiU

kinson's Widow*-," to be given for the firsttime in this city. The farce is adaptedfrom the French of Alexandre Bissou's"Feu Toupinel." Gillette's transfer of Ger-man farces to the English staee, such as"The Private Secretary" and "Allthe Com-forts of Home," lias been welcomed, andalso his great war-drama, "Held by theEnemy." Their success goes without tlie

saying. It is patent everywhere. "Mr.Wilkinson's Widows" bas been, however,his greatest winning. Itis his latest andbest play, and has already enjoyed a ran oftwo hundred and fifty nights in New YorkCity. Mr. Gillette claims he has cleans, ithe play entirely, leaving not the slightesttaint of the original Parisian indelicacy,and in that respect his work is highlycreditable to both his skill and good tense.

There are two widows ot the late Mr.Wilkinson, according to the story, who hasbeen regarded in his lifetime as > ledateand discreet London gentleman. His wifein that city had been a decent and soberconsort, while another wife in KdiuburgUhad been of a contrastingly giddy nature.His death happens before the opening cf theplay, and the women are introduced to theaudience as brides anew. The Englishwidow becomes the wife of an author, theScotch one marries a composer, and the twopairs have gone to live in a London apart-mi-nt hou&s. There the perplexities of thefour singularly related persons and the merri-ment of the audience begin almost simulta-neously. The disclosure of Mr. Wilkinson'smatrimonial duplicity is gradual, and at-tended by many incidents, which makefolks laugh immoderately.

Till.COMPANYHa3been assembled for the solo purpose ofperforming this farce. The roles are all inthe hands of persons best adapted to them,and the result is an excellent cast not onlyas to the principals, but also in the subordi-nate parts. The name, of the players are:Mrs. Georgle Drew Barry- Mr. Joseph Holland,

more. Mr.Thomas Burns.Miss Mattle Ferguson, Mr.Thomas 11. Itil-y,Miss Emily l-._n.__r, Jobu W. Thompson,.Annie Wood, Edward Coleman, andAdelaide Grey, others.

Letter From Do Vivo.Slgnor Don Diego writes from New York,

under date of December Uf-tli,concerningthe new Italian star, Mine. Diligenti, andother matters theatrical. He says the for-eign lady was an artistic success in the play"Elizabeth Soarez" (Sceur Teresa), ac-cording to the unanimous verdict of fifteenPhiladelphia critics. But, for all this, hehad to withdraw her from the stage on ac-count of bad business. A. M. Palmer haspromised her one or two special matinees athis theater inNew York, and thfcn the ver-dict of the metropolitan press will be given.According to our correspondent, Diligenti Isan actress of great intelligence, and whatthe Italians call an "attrice del v°ro"

—or an

actress of the truth. Besides being emo-tional, she is a fair comedienne and hasliterary ability. She has already translatedfrom the Italian repertoire Ferrari's "La

Donna in Carre," to be called "The LivingStatue," besides Goldoni's "LaLocnndiera"and "Cuvallerla Itu.ti.ana." Itis possible

traduced into the "Island of Zenobar" sinceits production that it is now called the sec-ond edition. The concluding week will nodoubt be, so far as business Is-concerned,quite up to the standard of tn.se preced-ing it.

A Circus Without Hornet.When the»vast equestrian establishment

of Sells Brothers arrived in Sydney, X. >.W., as we learn from a gentleman who camefiom there on the last trip of the steamshipMonowai, the authorities investigated thecondition of the circus live stock, and or-dered all the horses into quarantine, fromthe fact that glanders had developed duringthe trip from this pert. Two of the animalswere ordered shot, out of the band, lt wassupposed this fatal disease was caused bythe horses being confined in the hold of thesteamship. As a consequence of the anti-equine edict, the equestrian feature was alto-gether omitted on the opening night of thecircus, and -till the canvas was crowded toits utmost capacity. The show had to de-pend on the menagerie, the acrobats, gym-nasts and trapezists; but it was so wellequipped in these rest ects that tho publicof Sydney were satisfied, and consideredthey had received amply their moneysworth. The Sells management had pur-chased a number of colonial horses, andwhen our informant left, had them trainednearly ready for the ring.

Coming ThU VV-vv.From Philadelphia, where "Superba,"

the big fairy pantomime of the famous Han-lon Brothers, is now playing, the organiza-tion willmake rapid strides to this Coast.Playing InBaltimore tho week ending Jan-uary 9th. and opening In Sun FranciscoFebruary 22d, is fairly big traveling. Every-thing willbe carried as seen In the produc-tion in the East, ltwillundoubtedly prove

a novelty here, as it is a radical departure

for the Ilaulon Brothers and is totally un-like anything yet seen in the spectacularline. -It represents years of labor on thepart of the celebrated brothers, who haveIntroduced so many wonderful specimensof stage magic that they are said to haveshown themselves such adepts in inventingmechanical devices as to equal In resultsnearly as inexplicable illusions as the greatmagicians have done by their legerdemain.The performance In Philadelphia is alludedto as the Christmas pantomime, and the rageto see itmakes it Impossible to accommo-date more than two-thirds of tho comers.

One Nail Drives Out Another.What, asks the New York World, has

become of the numerous stars of min-strelsy, who, only a few years ago, af-forded so much innocent amusement tothe theatergoing public of the day Sincefarce-comedy has taken such a strong andapparently lasting hold upon the affectionsof the people the burut-cork entertainershave gradually lost ground, and to-day aminstrel show of the best class would fail toattract half a us.-full of people. Andvet a dozen years ago "BillyBirch andCharley Backus drew crowded houses atevery performance in their ,l'roadway-streetTheater, and tlee was good reason for theapplause which they received. Many of themost successful comedians in this form ofamusement are dead, but there are a consid-erable number of them still alive, in theprime of life and eager to achieve furthertueces. upon the stage. But the change inthe public taste has forced them out of thefield of their former successes and they havenaturally gone Into tho ranks of-farce-com-edy, actors. A certain proportion of theamusement-seekers of every age demand aform of entertainment whose only purposeis to amuse, and though tho means by whichthis result is.obtained may vary at different

times, yet the requirements of litis class ofpeople are so apparent that those who cater

The Millionaire"

is one of thoseplays that will excite critical enthusiasm,and it has many excellencies that otherdramas of the present day do not posses. intin* first place it aims to present a moral herodrawn from actual life, and It does presenthim without any extraneous theatric non-sense and without any sophistry, ltis thestory of an Irishman who is proud to be anAmerican, and who has a clean, healthy,simple sense of the heroism of labor and thehonor of doing his duty. The play has anethical and a literary value. Mr. Sully inthis play presents a manly unpretentioustype of Irishman, In contradistinction to thecram-out stage type. And he plays the per-sonage with a simple sincerity that is veryeffective and admirable.

A Silver-Lined Cloud.On New Year's eve at the Baldwin Thea-

Mr.. Carleton in aspirit of conciliation remarked, "Da not letus have any annoyance on the eve of theNew. Year"; but as Mr. Fitzgerald seemedvery persistent he went with him to thegreen-room, where, to his great surprise, hefound the maj -rityof the company waitingto receive him. Finding no evidence of en-mity between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Bige-low, he asked for an explanation. It wasgiven in the removal of a cloth from thetable on which a very elaborate set of silversiiioking-serv.ee, made specially by Shrew,was disclosed, ami which was presented toMr. Carleton with the strongest expres-sions of good willand wishes for a hapoyNew Year by the members of the company.

The Old Gamenix \u25a0_» -.-. . r.The New York Sun charges that the

comedy, "That Girl From Mexico,"playedlv Sydney and Gladys Drew, i. plagiarismof the old English farce, "Who KilledCockRobin?" tir-i acted in London, in 1869b andwritten by Charles Mathews, a finished andclever dramatist. On February 8, IS."*.;, it wasacted in New York at the Olympic, whereMrs. John Wood played the Castillanheroine, J. 11. Stodd.irt the parent in searchof a quiet life, Eliza Newton the forwardservant and K. L. Davenport the audacioushero. It ran two weeks at the Olympic,and it was therefore a pretty good thing, asfarces went in those days, There is nothingnew under the sun. Mr. Gordon, whofilched from Mathews, may be surprised tolearn that Mathews, in turn, stole fromthe French; but Mathews is dead, and Gor-don cannot be forgiven. Mathews, at least,furnished the Euglish for trie farce, andGold has taken many of the bright lineswhich Mathews turned over. At the sametime he has displayed ingenuity inelongat-ing and modernizing the st-g-y and in theintroduction of new characters.

AMERICA AHEAD OF FRANCE.

Even France Succumbs to American<; ins.

For centuries France has held the palm for the

manufacture of toilet articles of .very description,but at last she has been compelled to give place toAmerican genius in one article at least for thetoilet, time. Valti emphasizes tills most emphati-cally In a letter upon the Imperial Hair Regenera-tor: "One of the most pleasant and satisfactoryincidents connected with my tripto New York hasbeen the treatment of my hair by your ImperialHairRegenerator. Havinga full knowledge of allthe preparations on the Paris market, Imust con-fess that youtImperial Ualr Regenerator is Incom-parably superior to them all. The color producedis perfect, and the natural glossiness itleaves uponthe lialr is unattainable by the use or any otherpreparation. Ido not hesitate to strongly recom-mend itas the most perfect preparation for the hairobtainable." Consultation and all informationfree. Absolute satisfaction guaranteed. Sold at*150 and $3.
