They are superinduced by bad business in the school. A num ber of love affairs — both the poor Frenchman's and others — that won't run smooth, a rich but meddling old aunt of his partner's, who is said to be a character modeled exactly after the famous Hetty Green, and any number of other matters that would drive a man distracted in real life, but are of such a nature that they can afford coii traual amusement to the audience, con tribute to tic complications. The Martinetti-Tannehill company, which will present "The Nancy Hanks," is headed by Ignacio Marti - netti. the young comedian, whose Im personation of Zou-Zou in "Trilby" last season gave such thorough satisfaction. Frank Tannehill Jr. is another weil known member of the company, and Anna Boyd, who is identified with the ' iw hi "A Trip to China town," is also in the cast. Other mem bers of the company are Louise Mul d< n r. Car:;, Etadcliffe, Lillian Florence \\ ickes, Henry Morey. Clayton EL ige T.

The problems are never 1 of the plays that prosper an 1 I lays that fail, or why the pros perous ones prosper and why the fall fail, say? the New York Tribune times, Indeed, a play looks at first like an inevitable success and it proves so. Then everybody - why it succeeded. But a°-air her play looks equally like an in evitable success and fails utterly. and nobody knows why, though* plen theoretical reasons are usually T\\-i;im.T, \\d MAR-niTETTI. found. And the prediction of disaster i. just as uncertain. Managers have a hundred excuses for failure— election, holidays, bad : :er, good weather, Lent, etc In Extreme cases they have been known to say that there was something th.^ matter with the play. But there la obviously no need of any other reason for success than that tiie play is j_ist what the people want. Whatever the reasons are. the time ha:- come when the present theatrical season in New York may be safely set down as more pi ospe_iHjs.--._ar_ any one of the last thr-e..-- w|Heastr- The statement is .-till made with caution for, so fickle is the fortune of the the- a ters, a blight may yet fall a pon them tv fore this article -is printed; but no sertaus one is likely. * * * "Shamus O'Brien," the new Irish op era, has come to stay for an unusual length of time, says the New York Press, The success of "Brian Boru" was the signal rlrat a new class of entertainment, or an old class of en tertainment served up anew, was in high favor here. "Shamus O'Brien" has followed In the wake of its prede cessor in the Broadway theater, and Instead of sinking, as was predicted, it has widened the wake of Irish comk ipera. * * * Si.me idea of the enormous number of plays written by ambitious American dramattsts can be estimated from th" fact that from thirty to forty new man uscripts are received each week at Ros enfleld's typewriting offices, where most of the theatrical typewriting work is done in New York. There is no geo graphical monopoly in this aspiring dramatic spirit, for the plays are re ceived from all sections of the coun try even as far distant as California and Nova Scotia. It is a curious fact in this connection that a very far^v proportion of these efforts come from small towns, places which are. as a rule, found only on county maps and in the dale books of barnstorming man agers. They come from persons in all walks Of life. One Ohio man distinguishes himself by sending a new play once a month. They are not infrequently ac companied by requests to handle and produce, as well as "please put this in type." * * * Minnie Madden Fiske has just fin- A SCENE FROM THE "LAST STROKE," AT TITE URAXD.

In the Southern cities, Where Mrs. Finite last season was very successful, she was this season greeted In "The Nancy Hanks." with enthusiasm. Mrs. Fiske's new play, "The Right to Happiness," has been received with novel interest and great favor everywhere. «. » * Or. of the all-ccnsuming topics of the day is unquestionably the patriotic struggle of the Cubans for independence. It was, of course to be expected that the playwright would hit upon this iheme, and a number of dramas Have been written i_lugtra.-ve of the Cuban uprising. The most successful of these plays is eoner-d^d to be -"Pha Last Stroke," which J-. give;, its i!r..t production of any stage by Manager Jacob Litt in this city about a year "Tho Last Stroke" cofi&ea, here now with the .strong indorsement of.

The situation, are dramatic, and there is plenty of local color, with an abundance of whole some and patriotic American sentiment. Mr. LIU has staged the piece elaborately, and a number of picturesque scenes are promised. The story tells erf the adventures of Richard Vance, an American citizen, who has become separated from his wife. Ladle, through the machinations of oae Don Julio Valdez, of the Spanish secret service, who is himself in love with her. Vance believes his wife to be dead, and she has been led to believe that he is dead also, l.ui-lle takes the veil, be comes a sister of mercy and goes to Cuba as a volunteer In he last stroke foi* liberty. Husband and wife meet, but Lucile mistak enly believes that her vows as a nun now stand between them. Don Julio, who holds a commission in the Cuban army, but ts sttll a spy In the Spanish service, plots to obtain possession of a large sum ot money which has been collected for the Cuban Junta, and also to have Vance arrested on the charge of be ing a spy, so as to get him out of the way. He induces Senora Martinez, a Spanish sym pathizer, to assist him. but the latter dis covers that his real purpose is robbery, and that his motives are not prompted by loyalty to the Spanish causse, and with the aid of a Hotted States consul and a Cuban ipriest. who is an intense patriot, she circumvents Don Julio, saves Vance from being shot and has the traistorous spy condemned. Vance and his wife are reunited. The characters Include a hearty, courageous I'nited States consul; his niece, a bright young creature who has an abiding faith in the stars and stripes: a young American lieutenant serving under Gomez for the excitement of the thing, and In love with the consul's pretty niece; a brave Cuban priest, and others of lesser Im portance. The cast Is a good one. including Frederick de Belleville. Oscar Eagle, Scott Cooper. Harry Mills. Otis Turner, Edgar Forrest. Howell Hansel. Celia Alsberg, Esther Lyon, Maribel Seymour and others. Tomorrow evening will be ".Military Night" at the Metropolitan opera house. Companies E and D, of the Minnesota Na tional Guard, having arranged to attend the performance of "The Nancy Hanks" in a body, in full dress uniform. Gen. Bend, the winner of the box offend by the management of the Nancy Hanks company, has selected the Monday night performance. * » * A practical joke was perpetrated on Fran clsque Sarcey, the critic of the 'Temps," the day after the first performance of "L'Eva sion" at the Comedie Franeai&e, whicb Is attributed to the younger Coquelin. M. Sar cey had written- a particularly bitter criti cism of the play, and vented unusual spleen upon Mile. Lerou. who played the princiDal part. In tht. afternoon of the day on which the criticism appeared more than a dozen persons, in one way or another, informed M. Sarcey that Mile. Lerou had committed suicide after reading his article. M. Sarcey is a kind-hearted old gentleman, but he ab solutely denied having sent the floral wreath which toward evening arrived at Mile. Lerou's hotel, accompanied wtth the card of the critic of the '-Temps," tide with a piece of black ribbon. Mile. Lerou imme diately sent the wreath to M. Sarcev's. in the Rue de Douai. with the following" scrib bled across the back of the critic's card: "The dead do not laugh. I am laughing." Following the "County Fair" at the Met ropolitan opera house Clay Clement will ap pear for an engagement of four nights and a Wednesday matinee. Mr. Clement will present "The Bells" and "The Xew Do minion." Neil Burgess* "Xew County Fair." which will be seen Thursday night at the Metro politan, opens, in the first act. with a beau tiful picture of a Xew England home. Jt is said by those who have traveled extensively in the country districts of the New England states that this is an exact counterpart of dozens of farm houses one may come across in a day's ramble. As for Aunt Abby herself, she actually exists not many mile from Bos ton. She has seen 'The Xew County Fair" three times, and yet strange to say, she does not recognize her own portrait on the tsag-\ true as it is. And how very true. too. is the barn scene where 'Told Molasses," the noble thoroughbred, rubs his nose against Aunt Abby's face, as if he understood her troubles and would offer sympathy. Then there is the race that "Cold Molasses" wins. The me chanical track which enables all the horses to be in full view of an audience from start to finish, affords an excellent opportunity for the animals to et into their natural stride. They thunder down the stretch with every nerve strained and it is so exciting a sight that when "Cold Molasses" pushes his nose to the front and wins by a neck, nearly every body gets up and yells. There is not a word or an action through out the play that can offend the most fastid ious taste. On the other hand, the humor is never-failing in producing honest, hearty laughter. W. H. BrinkerhofT, who Is directing the tour of the "New County Fair" this sea son, has engaged, it is said, a strong com pany, and has had new scenery prepared for the production. * « * "The Fatal Card" will be the attraction at the Grand, following the engagement of "The Last Stroke."

It Will Be Given at the Metropoli tan—Trof. Onet Want- Mule Voice... The event of the week, musically and socially, will be the symphony concert, given for the benefit of the Minnesota Boat club. Richards Gordon, under whose management the concert is to be given, has spared nothing that will make it an artistic success. The large orchestra, under Director Frank Danz Jr., rehearsed every day last week, and its work shows the rt-sult of constant attention and study. Mr. Gordon would like to see a- Orst-class _ym phony orchestra in St. Paul, and hopes. when a St. Paul audience has heard what can be done here, that the con cert Wednesday night will be but the beginning of a movement to that end. It is to be hoped that the public v. .11 turn out en masse and pass judgment on what has been done. A series of first-class symphony concerts given each winter would lie most welcome. Socially the concert will be a brilliant success. The friends of Miss Gordon and Miss Lamprey are most anxious to hear them under the favorable con - ditions that will prevail Wednesday evening, and are eagerly waiting for the opening of the reserved seat sal.. Miss Gordon's singing and Miss Lam prey's playing are of the highest order, and their numbers on the programme will give them eyery.^ opportunity i^.< show what they can do.

'The Seibert's orchestra concert series were to have been produced at Conover hall for this season, but this cosy little auditorium has proven entirely too small for both orchestra and audience, and the report of the change to the more commodius quarters of the Metropolitan has been very welcome to the friends and ad mirers of St. Paul's most prominent musical organization. For the remain der of the season these concerts will be given at the Metropolitan every second. Sunday. The programme for today's concert, which is given below, is a com- P-und of popular standard composi tions, representing the French, German and Italian schools. The vocal numbers are nuder the direction of Prof. Emil Onet, which is in itself a guarantee of the excellence of this portion. The pro gramme is as follows: Part 1. March from Tannhauser '. Wagner Overture — "William Tell" Rossini Scenes Pittoresques Massenet I—Marche1 — Marche 2 — Air de Ballet. 3 — Angelus. 4— Fete Boheme. Contralto Solo — Romanze and Ballati from opera — "Linda di Chamounix". .. .Donizetti Mrs. Allan Krieger. Part 11. Strings — (a) Xarcissus Kevin (b) La Touple Gillet Tenor Solo— "La Donna c Mobile" Verdi Mr. A. P. Queanel. Grand Selection from Opera "Traviata".. Verdi Overture— "Pique Dame" Suppe Prof. Emil Onet, Director of Vocal. St. Paul has certainly more musical talent than any other cf its size, and yet little interest is evinced by the local singers, in all attempts to advance and elevate the taste for good music. Pi of. Onet has undertaken to produce the opera "II Trovatore" for two pur poses—first, to awaken the musical enthusiasm — and secondly, that some charitable institution might reap the benefit of the proceeds. There are many who think it too gigantic a work for amateurs, but, an evidence of what can be accomplished by hard study was shown in the recitals of "Faust," as given by Prof. Onet's pupils last year. Little fear of the success of "II Tro vatore" is anticipated, if those really inte rested in music will come to the rescue. Prof. Onet has found much difficulty in filling out the male voice part in chorus, and makes a final re quest for a large and enthusiastic at tendance on next Tuesday evening at 7:30 p. m. Should the response be such as hoped for, the opera will be given Easter week. If otherwise, Prof. Onet will be obliged tn give up the whole affair. The Schubert club has secured the services of Mrs. John Ltd and Emil Straka, to assist in the Schubert an niversary piogramnie to be. given in Park Congregational church, Monday evening, Feb. 1. Mrs. Ella Lamberson held an infor mal musical., for her pupils at her stu dio in the Phoenix building yesterday afternoon. A series of unique concerts will be in augurated Wednesday, Feb. 3, by Oscar L. Lienau at his studio, in the Fore paugh block, Seven Corners. At the first of the series. Miss Hedwig Lernke, Violinist; Miss E. K. Pattison, the elocutionist, and the St. Paul Zither club of eight pieces, under the direction of Prof. O. C. Pasel, will take part. John F. Gehan is preparing a concert to be given next Thursday night by the full Cathedral choir,, with Mrs. Hoffman as accompanist, and a large number of assisting artists. A Northwestern May Festival of Mus ic has been arranged by Fraulein Schoen Rene, directress of the Univer sity Choral union. Mine. Calve and a company of six other famous artists, accompanied by the Boston symphony orchestra of fifty pieces, have been se cured for two evening concerts and one matinee, to be given under the direc tion of the University Choral union, the second week in May. Among the other noted musicians be side Mme. Calve, who will appear, are Campanari, Mme. Lillian Blanvelt, Mme. Bloodgood, and Messrs. MeKin ley and Meyr, all of whom are well known to the world of music. The Bog-On Symphony orchestra will play the accompaniments for the concerts. MINERS ELECT.
