R GOSSIP OF THE DRAMA. FORTH ING ATTRACT ION AT THE ST. i-AUL Tufif >LES OF THESPIS. UISCSUAJ,!/* • STRONG &<LLS. Return of "ihe' Hustler" to Re peat Its .success — .»*r. Willard at the Metropolitan — .iatie Kin me:t in Her .New Sensation—" Dramatic '' Notes — Prominent Attractions. One of the managers most interested in knowing what effect the financial tightnej.s was f to have on theatrical business this season was Thomas 11. Davis, the partner of Jacob Litt in sev eral enterprises. This gentleman's theatrical interests cover a hair-dozen attraction*, one .of which. is the popular farce-comedy, "The Hustler." "We sent •The Hustler' o<it very early this year," said Mr. Davis the other day, "as a sort of feeler," to test the well-known a:-ser tion that theaters prosper in times of financial depression. We have found the assertion thus far to be quite true. Never ha "The Hustler ' tared better than during the few weeks it has been out. The. tacts that the piece is largely new and that it has a remark ably strong it company this year may have something to do with its excellent business. But the play's ; prosperity before the public Had time to find out these facts proves that the people are more, than usually desirous of being entertained, and more than usually inclined to patronize good farce comedy. 1 have'alrea iy had evidence that the same is,irue in regard to melo drama." '•The Hustler" is soon due in St. Paul. Following are the da'es ot "The Hustler" after the close of its St. Paul season: Sunday, Sept. 3, (week), Minneapolis, Minn. |j j».uiiday. Sept. 11. Dulutu, Minn. 'luesday, Sept. 12, West Superior, Wis. Wednesday, feept. 13, Kau Claire, Wis. Thursday. Sept. 14, vVinona, Minn. Friday, S pi. 15. La Crosse. Wis. Saturday, sept. 10, Oshkosh, Wis. AT THK MiI'AKoPOIiITAN. E. S. Willard to Appear in His Famous lieprescntations This. "Week. During the past ten years Manager Scott has opened his regular *eason with a great many of America's best attractions, but never has he presented sucn a strong attraction as the one Which will begin the fourth regular season at the Metropolitan opera house tomorrow night. The attraction, E. S. \\ illard and his excel lent company, played an engagement here last season to a tremendous busi ness, and gave most excellent satisfac tion. Air. TV illard has just finished a three months' run at Hooley's theater, Chicago, where he , has piayed to the capacity of that thea ter throughout the entire sum mer. He will present during his engagement at the Metropolitan the following repertory of plays: Monday and Tuesday nights/*'] he Middleman:' Wednesday night, "Judah;" Thursday night, "A Fool's Paradise," and Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, Ihe Professor's Love story." During his last engagement here, he presented "The Middleman," "The Professor?,^ Love Story." and "A Fool's Paisidise." an. i scored * a great artistic success in all three of the plays ore sented. DiiriiiiT. the engagement this week he will present Wednesday night another oi his great successes, "Judah," which has never been' "seen before in this city. The Wilbur Opera company will fin ish the third annual summer opera season at the Metropolitan Opera house tonight, and lor this occasion they have selected the opera in which they opened the suuiiner season in June, Hie ever popular "Enuinie." The demand for seats for this performance is already very large, and the summer season's farewell performance will no doubt be greeted by an overflowing house. SENSATION AT 'ilifci GRAND. Katse Km met to Appear In ♦•The Wails of Sew York." This afternoon the Grand will begin the current week with "The Waifs of New Yoik, which may be said to be of tne -eiisuiioiis sensational.. It is a play for the masses, as is evidenced by its ion ntinued and successful career. i- , Lulu Dark, dramatic editor of ihe Chicago Globe, Aug. 0 says: The attraction was a favorite one— Harry Williams' "The Waits of New York"— and it is only fair to say that the melodrama has seldom been presented in a more satisfactory manner. Every thing went with a "zip" which was re freshing; and which evoked applause from every portion of the bause. Some of the more sensational scenes — they were many and good— provoked storms of applause. The company is a good one through out, and each member seemed to vie with the others in the determination to make the opening a success. Miss Florence Roberts, a capital Boubrette, assumed the leading "role and made much of it. Her impersona tion of the arduous role of Willie Rufus was clean cut, exceedingly clever and free from the outre grossness which might be introduced into such a char acterization. Andrew Amann was very funny as the Dutchman Schneiderkopt. and a clever piece of character acting was the Mrs. McShane of Mrs. Edward Clifford. The child actress, little Vir eie Bray, "a wee mite," made a pro nounced hit and received great ap plause. She is exceptionally clever. » The scenery was all that was prom ised, and the great lire scene, which in troduced the genuine Watrous engine, brought down the house. The bridge scene and the view of Castle Garden were very realistic. This tells the en tire story, and tho lovers of plays of this kind will be able to fully gratify their desires, and the box office at the Grand will without doubt feel the in fluence of the advent of "The Waifs of New York." Ilhea's "Queen of Sheba." Mile. Rhea's preoarations for the pro duction of "The Queen of Sheba" are now complete. The models of the scenery designed in France were found lo be somewhat cumbersome for prac tical use, and have been modified to suit Ameiican theaters by Hughson llawley, who has undertaken entire charge of the scenic portion of this pro auction. 11. L. Reid is associated with Mr. llawiey in the painting of scenery. The dramatic treatment of the subject is entirely original with Adrien liar uusse. and Mile. Rhea is said to most bappily fitted in the character of Tainar. Queen of Sheba. W. S. Hart, who has recently returned from France, j will play the part ot Hiram, the de scendant of Tubaal Cain, a character well known in history and in Masonic law.

For the roiuiniE season Mr. Weed's tour calls lor engagements in every important city in the country, and is to continue until May 1. It is said that by actual count and comparison there are mote perilous sit uations and narrow escapes in tne new Liv & Davis drama, "In Old Ken tucky.'" than in any other high-class melodrama produced in the past four years. 'J he new play has its first pro duction Aug. 28, at the Bijuu theater, i'iitsburg.

The great interest recently aroused in naval affairs makes "The Ensisii" one of the most timely dramas that will be on the stage this season. Perceiving this fact, its managers, Litt & Davis, have taken care that its cast and scenery shall be even better than they were last season. "The Hustler"' comes to the Grand after "The Waifs of New York." This farce-comedy has been seen in this city a number ot times, aud this year is said to have been eivenanow impetus in public favor witii new songs, dances and strong specialty features.
