5 STAGE, DRAMA AND PLAYER CHAUNCEY OLCOTT IN "MAVOURNEEN" AT THE "MET." * GRANO, II ALL, EN AND HART. •Yeek of Magnificent Entertain ments at the Theaters— Olcott Made a Great Hit in St. Paul Last Yonr, and Is Better Pre pared- to Please -Hallen and Hart Will Please. Chaunoey Olcott,.- the great Irish tenor, will return to this city next Monday torn week at the Metropolitan in the charming comedy drama '•Ma vourueen" that made such a pronounced hit here last season, "and" ; crowded the house at every performance, much to the surprise of every Veteran critic in town who knew Olcott, but never sup posed he could act. ; Many who knew the young star as only the possessor of a rarely sweet soprano voice in ministrelsy were sur prised to find he isa comedian- as well as a-iiuL Ilis assumption of the part in ''Mavourueen," his lbvemaking and-, bis by-play with the children show spontaneity and freedom quite unex pected, lie is the Celt in all his humor. A trace of m ituierism litre ana there is Iff Hj^^br t ' W-Q' ' 40U?- -y r TERRENCE DWYER IN "MAVOURNEEN.*" fittle more than a mark by which to measure progress. Mr. Olcott's voice has deepened and and become fuller. He sings without effort as a bird sings, and as sympathet ically as a mother over a drowsy babe. The Irish melodies of '•Mavourueen" have new interest as lie sings them. More remarkable voice in volume and compass have been heard many a time. but never one more touching!}' attuned to simple love ballads and folk songs- Temperament doubtless has much to do with this. Mr. Olcott "sings ail over." He sympathizes with his song — losing his secound consciousness in its theme. The imuression he has made is a lasting one. and he will be warmly welcomed on his ret im. OLCOTT STXGIXO "THE CHRISTMAS TBKE" IN "MAVOUIi.NKEX." The play enjoyed a successful run of over a year in New York, and was fa vorably commented on by the press of that city. The production was elaborate, and its correctness of detail was highly praised. Alter Scanlan's misfortune the play remained idle until last season, when it was again set out with Chauncey Olcott in the leading role. The action of the play transpires in Ireland between 1774 and 1784, the scenes being located at Innish-Shannon and in the city of Dublin. The scenery was painted by the best artists and the costumes designed by 11. A. Oiden are tasteful and correct. The entire pro duction cost over 612,000. The story of the play is unconventional, and the piece is said to be constructed with rare skill. The New York critics pronounced '•Mavourueen" the finest Irish play of the century. it will be presented here with all of the original scenery, costumes and ef fects. The songs written by Scanlan for this play will be sung by Mr. Olcott, who has a sweet tenor voice, as those who recall his operatic successes well know. MISS DAVENPORT NEXT. Begins a Three Nights Engage ment Jan. 29. Miss Fanny Davenport, who opens at the Metropolitan opera house three nights commeucing Jan. 20, is one of the few stars whom every [manager hails with delis since she is a sure draw ing card. Her production of Sardou's •'Cleopatra" is as complete a series of stage pictures as has been given in this country. It is to her credit that she has so arranged her surroundings that at every performance improvements may be observed, and that from season to season creator perfection is aimed at. In the role of "Cleopatra". Miss Daven port has made innumerable changes, and has made of the difficult role one of the greatest characterizations that could be seen on any stage. It is lo hit credit that she has made more for Sar ""dou than the famous Bernhardt, who has practically abandoned the role, and who has said ' that "Cleopatra" is the most difficult part to properly present of any in the entire walk of the drama. "Cleopatra" is so many sided and diffi cult to present that uothing short of true artistic sensibility could possibly convey to the auditor an idea of the willful queen who set Rome by the ears. "BLACK CIIOOK lONIGHT." Farewell Performance of the Great Success. Eugene Tompkins' big company will give its farewell performance at the Metropolitan opera bouse this Sunday night, presenting the gigantic. ..mid gorgeous spectacle. "The Black Crook.',' The business done through last' week with this company at the Metropolitan I was extremely heavy, and the* demand has been- so great for seats that the management deemed it- wise to add one more night to their engagement in this city. This will be- the final perform ance of this great big spectacle in this city this season. This will be the last opportunity to see Thomas O'Brien, comedian: Louise Montrose, the sou brette: Sgr. Bianeifiori." the. wonderful male dancer; Staccioni. the premiere assoluTa; Bartoletti, premiere danseuse; Mardo. the wonderful Juggler, and the four French quadrille dancers. The last performance tonight of "The Black Crook" will he given at reduced prices, giving every one an opportunity to see this mammoth production. HALhKN .AND II ART / r Have Always Drawn Largo Houses in St. Paul. • *^C' : - --j llallen and Hart, the wide-awake and acceptable comedians, will make things merry at the Grand opera house this week, beginning tonight. Their new farce. "The Idea," will be the vehicle of entertainment. This piece, by the way. appears to have caught the popular fancy in a rather remarkable way this season, It found unusual favor with the critics and public in Chicago, New York and . Boston. This year, every one knows who follows theatri cal affairs, lias been uncom monly dull, and that a brand new farce-comedy should cautivatc popular attention in so big a way is. to say the least, quite Battering. The piece is spoken ot as an exceedingly clever conceit, bristling with novel ideas, and running over with humorous incidents, jolly songs and graceful dances. There is a semblance of reason in it all, too, which is, to say the least, rare in what is presented under the name of farce comedy. This tangible thread, which sustains the merry jumble upon a plane of intelligence, if not wit, concerns the helpless maneuverings of a well - inteiUioned old fellow, who ii bursting with reform notions. Ile is one of those sensitive old busyboiies, who are always in a state of nervous agony lest the world go to the demni- > tion bow-wow. Mr. Hart's role is that of a speculative Peunsylvanian, with rather more wit than wisdom, and a predilection for the other sex, which causes a good many funny scenes. Mr. Ilallen's role is that of a feather-brain, whose waking moments are chietiy oc cupied with dress and nonsense. The excellent baritone J. Aldrieh Lib bey, and pretty Moiiie ' Fuller, are prominent in the piece. In the cast besides are Marguerite La Mar, Fanny Bloodgo.>d, Carry De Mar, Florence Ilolbrook, Edith Murray, Jen nie Orovini, Al 11. Wilson, Larry Doo ley, Charles B. Lawlor, Albert Haw thorn, and several others of individual value. All the scenery used in the piece is carried by the company, and. the costumes and property details are said to be new and fetching. Hallen and Hart are at the top of the list of those who provide spirited fun for the work-a-day world of theatergoers, and no doubt will bring good times tothe Grand this week. Ti. -v •;.. "The Lost Paradise." . Following Hallen and Hart at the; Grand will come "The Lost Paradise," which will have particular Interest to the patrons of the Grand from the fact that, aside from the entertaining quali ties of the play itself, the cast will in clude Miss Mabel Bert and Forest Rob inson, two of the cleverest and popular members of Lilt's players of the past summer. Bobby Gaylorand "Sport McAllister" will be one of the early attractions at the Grand. DRAMATIC NOTES. Patti Rosa recently invited 500 of the poor and orphan children of Kansas City to attend her Saturday matinee at the Grand opera house. The invitations were distributed by the mayor of the city, and there were no letters of decli nation or regret. Miss Rosa's week in Kansas City was very large, and she opened at the Tabor in Denver New 1 ear's day to a trifle over $2,000 in two performances, and played to the largest week's business the Tabor has had this season. The prospects for her Western trip are very bright. One of the prettiest musical numbers in "Sinbau" is a quartette entitled I "The Interrupted Serenade." It is an j original composition by W. H. Batch elor, musical director of the American I Extravaganza company, and is sung by Louise Royce, Frankie M. Raymond, Henry Norman and W. M.- Armstrong. .

': Scalper ' Law Discussion -7- Con- . tinned to Monday. ' The case of . Clarence E. Corbett, the ticket broker who was arrested at the instance of railroad authorities and in dicted under the anti-scalper law. came up before Judge Willis yesterday morn ing. .County • Attorney Butler,- assisted by Charles Bunn, a railroad attorney, appeared tor tho state,: and Corbett .was represented by Horton & Denegre. Hiler Horton began at once the argu ment of a demurrer lie had filed to the indictment, raising the constitutionality of the law. ' The demurrer sets forth, in brief, the following points: "The law provides a penalty for re fusing to redeem, which penalty is only imposed on any railroad or steamboat company. The law assumes to regulate interstate commerce. It assumes to ar bitrarily fix the value of personal prop erty without due course of law. It as sumes to grant solely to the owners of certain railroads and steamboats an ex clusive privilege or immunity, lt as sumes to make the sale of transporta tion tickets by any common carrier of passengers other thau the owners of railroads aud steamboats unlawful, lt violates the inalienable rights of indi viduals and the provisions of the con stitution of both the state and the United States in regard to the violation of contracts, to life, liberty and prop erty." Mr. Horton, in addition to arguing at length his position on the constitutional questions, cited the decisions in Illinois and Texas, and also called attention to the decision in Minneapolis in the Trtiesdale case. In all these decisions the anti-scalper law was knocked out. Mr. Horton spoke until noon, and then the.whole matter was continued to Monday, when the arguments of counsel .for the state will be heard. OFFERS TO TEST. Morgan Slakes a Proposition to the Committee. Rev. David Morgan, who has charge of the Friendly inn, an annex tothe -Bethel, has a. theory that more than half the men who apply for work on the streets at ?l per day could be headed off by agreeing to pay them In fuel and supplies Instead of cash. In order to test "nis views, Morgan has made a proposition to the citizens' relief com mittee, which the committee now have under consideration, The plan is to have the men who apply to the employ ment bureau for work sent to the Friendly inn. Here they will be given a chance to saw oak wood at 75 cents a cord. After seven cords of wood have been sawed a ticket will be given which will entitle the bearer to 55.25 worth of provisions or fuel. Mr. Morgan claims this plan will be a good test, and suggests that the men. who will not accept these conditions are not entitled to relief. There are a number of worthless fellows, Mr. Mor gan says, who howl for work on the ground of destitution, but really only work in order to get whisky. The com mittee on employment has not accepted the proposition, but Morgan thinks they will." The men are expected to furnish their own saws, and Morgan says that it is no trick at all for a mau to saw a cord of wood each day. rig» Call It an ".ndiscretion." Pioneer Press, Jan. 20.

"I don't mind your refusing mo cold victuals, ma'am," said the time-worn and travel-stained pilgrim at the kitchen door, buttoning his faded remnant of a coat under his cjiin, "but when you call me a worthless tramp you do me a cruel injustice. 1 have a standing offer of $15.. ma'am, from one of the best medical colleges in this country, for my cor porosity, just as it stands."

The following Chinese legend ac counts for the invention of the fan in a rather ingenious fashion: The beau tiful Kan si, daughter of a powerful mandarin, was assisting at the feest of lanterns when she became overpowered by the heat. She was compelled to take off her mask, but as it was illegal to ex pose her face, she held her mask before it aud gently fluttered it to cool herself. The court ladies noticed it. and in an instant a hundred other hands were waving their masks. This was the birth of the fan, which to-day takes the place of the mask in China. FACTS AND FANCIES.
