THEATRICAL NEWS
De Wolf Hopper Abandons the
Comic Opera Stage.
Gives Up an Independent Career
For Yaudeville.
ACTION A SURPRISE.
Players and Public at a Loss to
Account For the Moto.
Will Be Seen Next Season With
theWeber & Field Company.
No more surprising announcement
has ever been made in the theatrical
world than that of De Wolf Hopper's
intention to abandon an independent
career as a comic opera star and loin
the Weber & Field vaudeville company
of New York. The contract which
makes the comedian one of the Weber
& Field stars for two years has been
signed, and it is said that he is looking
forward to a very pleasant ensraere-
ment as a vaudeville entertainer.
Just why De Wolf Hotmer should de.
cide to give up comic opera is a ques
tion wnicn probably Mr. Hotmer ' is
alone able to answer satisfactorily. For
years tne elongated, star has disputed
with Francis Wilson the distinction of
being- the cleverest operatic comedian
on the American stage. Audiences all
over the country have looked forward
to his visits with interest, and laughed
at his grotesque disguises and inimita-
Wolfe Hopper and
ble humor. It Is true that his latest
opera "The Charlatan" did not original
ly make a "hit" in New York, and that
because of the disturbance in South
Africa his London seaaon was not as
financially successful as it might have
been. But neither of these facts con
stitute a sufficient reason for abandon
ing comic opera, for after an unusually
satisfactory tour on the road "The
Charlatan" was returned to New York
to be received with marked favor and
scant receipts in London were general
with all theatrical attractions.
Hopper has been seen in Topeka sev
eral times, always by "capacity
audiences." His last appearance here
was in Sousa's opera "El Capitan" at
the Grand Opera House. This was the
first of the famous bandmaster's op
eras, and in it the comedian had a bet
ter character than that of "Demidoff"
in "The Charlatan." His abandonment
of comic opera is particularly to be
wondered at from the fact that Sousa
recently completed the music for a new
opera under the title of "General Gam
ma," the libretto of which was con
structed with Hopper's style of humor
especially in mind by Charles Klein and
Grant Stewart.
As a member of the Weber & Field
company the comedian will have the
place made vacant by the resignation
of Peter F. Dai ley. A special part will
be written for him in the new burlesque
now bting put together by Harry B.
Smith. Edgar Smith and John Strom
berg, and he will Vie with the company
at the opening of the Weber & Field
muic hall on Broadway next season.
It is somewhat difficult for those who
have seen De Wolf Hopper on the stage
to believe that he comes of Quar
stock. But in spite of their drab habili
ments, both his grandfather and father
possessed a keen sense of humor. Per
haps Hopper himself never gave a more
vivid display cf this quality than on the
day when he walked into Mr. HatTigan's
theater and informed the actor man
ager that he wanted to be his leading
man. This was in the days when
"Long" Hopper, as he was called, was
knocking about the country picking up
anything he could get.
Hopper is a comedian whose entire
anatomy is permeated with fun. Dur
ing a performance he works with a
vigor that brings out the perspiration
on the coolest nights. And his reward
is the constant laughter of his audi
ences during the entire performance.
There is a story told of Mr. Hopper's
own appreciation of this fact. He was
riding one night in a stage from the
railroad station to the hotel. He hai
a good many fellow passengers, and a
m;fi opposite Hoppfr complained that
he was being incommoded by the come
dian's knees. "Your confounded legs
fill the whole omnibus," he growled
rudely.
"That's nothing," was Hopper's cheer
ful rejoinder. "They frequently fill the
whole house."
"IN THE PALACE OP THE KING."
Viola Allen Will Be Seen in a Dram
atization of Crawford Novel.
Miss Viola Allen is looking forward
with great interest to the production of
her new play, which has been in the
course of preparation for months past,
says a Chicago exchange. But of course
she must be off with the old love,
meaning "The Christian," before she
can be on with the new, which is de
nominated "In the Palace of the King."
The old love being her first since she
was raised to the dignity of a stellar
condition, naturally dies hard, the more
so in consequence of the highly agree
able fact that the public cannot get
enough of "Glory Quayle." But by the
i
Ay .Vs1v , VnM ; j f ' fife?, I f r$ Uv
statute of limitations made and provid
ed by managerial -edict, she will be off
with the old and on with the new char
acter next fall.
Marion Crawford's story, "In the Pal
ace of the King,'.' was written for the
express purpose of being dramatized for
Miss Alien's use, thus reversing the us
ual order of literary events, which is to
write with reference to the novel alone
and then dramatize it as a sort of side
issue. Mr. Crawford was not at home
in play writing, although an exeprienc-
ed fictionist, and thus after the man
ner of the doctor, who was a specialist
in fits, and therefore threw all his pa
tients into that creepy distemper in or
der to place them within the scope of his
curative powers he transformed his
dramatic notions into the form of a
novel, and now it is hoped everything
will turn out lovely, a perfect fit, so to
speak, particularly as Dorimer Stoddard
is assistant doctor and dramatic tailor
extraordinary for this particular occa
sion. Mr. Crawford is particularly familiar
with the modern Latin atmosphere, and
as this story is a romance of life and
love in old Madrid there is scope enough
in tne tneme tor tine atmospheric ef
fects and picturesque character sketch
es, to say nothing of such complications
as become a love story of the olden
times.
HOME FOR INFIRM ACTORS.
Al Eayman Starts the Movement and
Actors Subscribe Liberally.
Last week, through the New Terk
Herald, Al Hayman offered $10,000 as a
subscription for a home for aged and
infirm actors, which It is proposed to
erect in New York. This was contingent
upon other actors and managers donate
ing $50,000. Within a few days nearly
the entire sum required was raised, some
cf the leading subscriptions being as
follows:
Charles Frohman, $5,000; $1,000 each
from Maurice Grau.W. H. Crane.Joseph
Jefferson, Francis Wilson, Jacob Litt,
Daniel Frohman, and William Gillette;

co, W. J. Ferguson, and other celebri

MANSFIELD'S NEW PLAY.
It Gives the Washington Post Oppor
tunity to Poke Pun at the Actor.
The authors of "The Greatest Thing
in the World." Harriet Ford and
Beatrice De Mille, have been commis
sioned by that eminent actor, Mr. Mans
iiera. to write him a new play for next
season. This enables the Washington
Post to declare that it may be a most
excellent play, but it a burning, blister
ing shame that the title of the Le Moyne
drama could not have been reserved for
his own special offering. It would have
been a most cheering and gratifying
spectacle to see the eminent actor
standing in rapt contemplation before
a billboard, beaming with smiling and
complacent admiration at a -i by 7
stand in pink, green, purple and yellow,
announcing:
MR. RICHARD MANSFIELD,
THE GREATEST THING
IN THE WORLD.
MODJESKA'S FAREWELL.
Actress Will Be Seen in an Elaborate
Revival of "King John."
Wagenhals & Kemper, who will con
tinue the management of Louis James
and Miss Kathryn Kidder next season
in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," will
also direct the farewell tour of Mme.
Modjeska, and expect to make it one of
the most memorable in the career of
the great Polish actress. They will pre
sent her in a fine revival of "King
Johi" a play that has rot been given
on the American stage in many years,
but which was recently revived in Lon
don by Beerbohm Tree with great suc
cess, Modjeska. of course, will be seen as
"Constance, " a pait she has much de
sired to play for many year's. Th part
of King John, it is promised, will be
played by one of the best legitimate
actors in this country, and that of
Prince Arthur by a distinguished
woman. The version of the play to be
used for this tour has been especia'ly
arranged by the distinguished Shakes
pearean scholar, William Winter, dra
matic editor of the New York Tribune.
The production will be on a par with
the fine revival of "The Winter's Tale,"
arranged for Louis James and Kathrv-n
Kidder by Wagenhals & Kemper the
past season. It will not be a long sea
son, being but twenty-five week3 in
duration, probably not beginning until
after the presidential election.
Theatrical Note3.
The dramatic rights to Cyrus Town
send Brady's novel, "The Grip of
Honor," are being negotiated for by W.
N. Lawrence.
Ada Rehan will sail for Europe on
June 20 and will spend the summer at
her country place in Ireland. She will
not return to America until late in Sep
tember, and will then go on tour with
a new play.
The Bostonians will continue under
the direction of Klaw & Erlanger next
season and will make two important
productions, which will be presented in
connection with their present repertory.
Mary Mannering has settled the burn
ing question as to what play she would
make her first appearance in as a star.
It is a romantic drama in four acts by
Victor Mapes and Mrs. Allen Arthur,
called "A Durward Ladye."
Edward S. Willard, who has been off
the stp.ge for two seasons, will come to
America next season, opening in Boston
in November. He,, will present "The
Middleman," "The Professor's Love
Story," "David GaiTick" and two new
pieces-not yet named.
The report is that Flora Fairchild,
sister of Julia Arthur, is to come into
the possession of Miss Arthur's plays
costumes and scenery, and, with their
aid, is to star next year. The repertory
includes "More Than Queen," "Romeo
and Juliet;" and As You Like It.'"
Judging by newspaper clippings- re-
ceiyed, the young California actress,
Nance O'Neil, has met with a cordial,
popular reception and much critical
praise in Australia. She has been play
ing "Magda," "Peg . Woffington," and
"Masks and Faces." McKee Rankin is
managing her tour.
It has been given out that Christie
MacDonald will take the position of
prima donna soubrette in Francis Wil
son's -company next season, following
Lulu-GIaser.
Charles Frohman has bought the
American rights to the English adap
tation of Kdmonct Rostand s Roman
esques" He will present it with Miss
EJlaine Terriss as Syivette and Seymour
Hicks as Straf orel. Mrs. Patrick Camp

don under the title of "The Fantas-

ticks," may come to America in the
fall, but in another play.
Next season Willie Collier will have a
new play written for him by Augustus
Thomas, entitled "Treadway of Yale."
The title character and his adventures
were conceived by Mr. Thomas after a
visit to Yale university, where there was
a genuine Treadway, who captained the
winning 'varsity football eleven that
Cfinquered Harvard in the fall of 1S95.
Mme. Modjeska's sudden determina
tion r.ot to revisit her native land this
summer was due to the fact that the
Russian government would not remove
the ban pronounced against her sev
eral years ago. Her outspoken iews at
the world's fair angered the Russian au
thorities, and she can only return by
submitting herself to a fine or impris
onment. It will be good news to the American
public to know that George H. Broad
hurst has appreciated the success which
Mrs. Annie Yeamans has made and that
next year she will star in an entirely
new comedy from his pen which will
afford her even greater opportunities
than she has enjoyed in "Why Smith
Left Home." Mr. Broadhurst is now in
the west putting the finishing touches
to the farce which will have a produc
tion early in the season.
The Klaw & Erlanger opera company,
the new enterprise this firm will launch
next season, will be noteworthy because
of the large 'number of prominent peo
ple who will be members. The latest
engagement is Adolph Zink. the lillipu
tian comedian, who was formerly the
leading thirty-six-inch funny man of
the Lilliputians, the German troupe of
little folk which toured this country for
several years. Mr. Zink will play the
opposite role to Jerome Sykes as "Foxy
Quiller" in the new opera of this title
by Reginald De Koven.
TSlanehe Walsh has entered into a
contract with Joseph Brooks and Ben
Stern to star under their management
for the rxt three years. Her first sea
son under their direction will begin In
the early fall. Tl.ey will first present
a new dramatic play by Eugene W.
Presbrey. Other plays are being nego
tiated for, two by foreign authors. Miss
Walsh sailed for Europe May 19,
and will make an extended tour, in
cluding a visit to the Paris exposition
and Rome. Whil? abroad Miss Wal?h
will write for several newspapers in this
country her impressions of the countries
she visits and the people she sees, the
publication of which has already been
arranged.
A QUESTION OF BABIES.
Since 1871 the population of the Ger
man Empire has increased from 40,000
000 to nearly 56.0000,000, which is about
15,000,000 more than the ITnited King
dom and 17,000.000 more than France.
Emigration has now sunk to insignif
icant proportions, and the annual ex
cess of births over deaths in Germany
is E50.000, as against 450.000 in the Uni
ted Kingdom, and only 35,000 in France.
This stupendous contrast between the
fecundity of Germany and France af
fords the clue to that change of French
foreign and military policy to which we
have constantly called attention. It is
essentially a question of babies one
French baby cannot be expected to
fight 21 German babies, of whom all the
males become soldiers. It is safer, there
fore, to challenge 12 British babies, of
whom hardly any become soldiers,

GOOD OF HUMANITY.
What One "Woman's Club Is Doing to
Uplift Others.
Dr. Marv E. Stewart, the president of
the Woman's club, which is actively en
gaged in philanthropic work, has many
interesting things to tell of the work be
ing done by the club, the most Important
ot wnica is tne support. or tne inaustnaa
School.
Dr. Stewart says: "The Industrial
school, which has been conducted by the
philanthropy and reform department of
the Woman's club of Topeka, closed its

sessions last Saturday with a delightful
picnic at Garfield nark. Over seventy-five
children and many mothers, through the
generosity of Mr. Paiton, were taken to
the park m a private car free 01 charge.
"The school has had a very successful
year of work; for two years the same lit
tle girls have met every Saturday after
noon with their faithful teachers, who
taught them to sew and perform various
household tasks, meanwhile encouraging
them to make gardens and assist In keep
ing their homes clean and beautiful. The
capacity of the club is limited: it is with
out funds and a place of its own in
which to meet, but in spite of every dis
advantage, much has been accomplished.
The behavior and personal appearance of
the children are wonderfully improved, as
well as the homes.
"Mrs. Thorpe and Mrs. J. F. Daniels
have had charge of the school and many
other faithful ones have done what they
could in the way of teaching. The Young
Women's Christian association has gi'en
the use of its gymnasium for meetings.
"Although this school has been the par
ticular work of the club, there are other
departments busy as well. The Art and
Literature department has held regular
meetings: the chief topics during the past
season have been, "Greek Art" and the
"New Congressional Library at Washing
ton," with Mrs. M. L. Chamberlain, lead
er.
"A prisor library has been started for
the special benefit of the boys, girls and
women In Mrs. Thorpe's charge. Plans
are being discussed of seating the State
House grounds, also of work which will
be continued during the summer in con
nection with the park commissioners and
the Commercial club.
"On the second Tuesday of each month
occurs the regular monthly meeting of the
club, which is always at the home of the
president: interesting programs, including
reports of the club work, musical and
literary features are given. Visitors are
always welcome and new members de
sired. There is work in every department
remaining undone for the lack of help.
Personal work is what is needed; money
and gifts do not pay the largest divi
dends. Names mav be sent to the secre
tary, Mrs. W. A. Dickinson, 1306 West
Sixth avenue, at any time.
"The Woman's club hopes to have a
home of its own next fall. Plain sewing.
cuttine and fittine will be taught, end
housework as far as possible. A free dis
pensarv for women will be carried on by
the women nhvsicians of the city.
"To the kind friends, who, by their en
couragement and help in any way, have
assisted the club, thanks are tendered,
with the hope that next season, when new
avenues are open, they will not fail."
THE COWBOY'S PROOF.
From the Denver Times.
"Jack" Vance, a cowboy from the
ranch of the P.utte Creek Cattle com
pany, was on trial at Alliance, Neb., on
a charge of shooting at a brakeman on
the Burlington railroad with intent to
kill him. He had received his pay a
few days before and was engaged at the
time of the shooting in the picturesque
pastime of painting the county red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent
to perforate the brakeman. He told the
court that, while it was true that he did
take out his revolver and shoot after the
brakeman had pushed him off the train,
he was merely giving a prearranged
signal. He and a friend had been down
ihe road a few miles and wanted to ride
back to the nearest station to the ranch
Realizing that If they were found by
any of the train crew they would be
put off, they had arranged that if one
was put off the train he should notify
his partner by firing his revolver once
The trainman, with visions of what
he firmly believed was a narrow escape
from death, shook his head, and the
judge looked unbelieving. Vance's cow
boy friend corroborated the story, but
seeing that his tale tailed to receive
credence, the defendant asked the court
to please step outside. The judge asked
what for.
"I'll prove my innocence, your honor.
Vance said.
The court was curious and went out
side. So did the sheriff, lawyers and
spectators Vance pulled out his revol
ver, and, holding a postage stamp be
tween the finers of his left handi, clip
ped off each corner in succession. Next
he asked a spectator to suspend a hick
ory nut from a thread. Walking off 30
feet he wheeled and at the first shot
cut the thread. Taking six tacks he
placed them loosely in a piece of wood.
This he placed against a post 25 yards
away. Borrowing a watch from a by
stander, he opened the case for a mir
ror, shot with his back to the mark, and
drove each tack into the wood without a
miss.
The brakeman had been looking on in
open mouthed wonder. As Vance con
cluded the brakeman stepped up to the
judge, and, tapping him on the arm,
said :
"Yes, yer honor, I guess I was mis
taken. That man wasn't shooting at
me."
SOME THINKING BY DOGS.
From the London Chronicle. K
Do dogs think? Yes, replied Herr
Steiner-Brunner, the landlord , of the
Hotel du Glacier at Meiden, in the
TurtmannthaL Herr Brunner left his
mountain hotel during the last winter
under the guardianship of a watchman,
whose only companions were a couple
of dogs a French "griffon" and a little
"spitz." A month ago the watchman
was cutting wood in the neighborhood
of the .hotel, when he was suddenly
overwhelmed by an avalanche. The two
dogs were with their master, and must
have seen him thus buried by the fallen
mass of snow. Unable to get at him for
his release, his two canine friends,
either with or without holding counsel
together, rushed down the mountain
(which stands at the height of 1.S00
metres above the sea level) and made
their way to; Herr Brunner's -house in
the valley. There, by snorting, barking
and other signs of excitement, they
made the landlord understand that
something extraordinary had occurred
at the summit. The host, with three
men and two dogs, ascended to the

cupied them nine hours. When they
arrived at the spot where the accident
had happened, "it was as clearly indi
cated by the conduct of the two dogs
as if they had said in words, 'This is
the place." " The watchman was soon

Quickly recovered himself. As he could
give the exact time at which the

that the two dogs had made their down

more than an hour, and during a heavy
snowfall.
A JEROBOAM.
A jerobbam is reputed to be the larg
est wine bottle known. It resembles an
ordinary champagne bottle very much
magnified, but it is now rarely seen, for
merchants like them not they are too
risky. A breakage or a crack in the
cork would mean eight times the loss of
an ordinary bottle. Some unknown wit
in past years dubbed such large bottles
jeroboams from the name of the He
brew king who made Israel to sin.There
was so much wine in the big bottles
that they caused people to be drunken,
for a bottle once opened could not be
closed, and the name has stuck, though
the bottle has almost gone. Magnums
may be more frequently seen. They are
equal to two ordinary bottles and com
mand the price of two, and are used for
fine - clarets, champagnes, and hoehs.
Double magnums, again, contain as
much as four ordinary bottles. But the
tendency is to avoid altogether the use
of large bottles, and to keep the ordina
ry sizes, six of which contain a gallon
i. e. about 6' fluid ounces each. WUh
some wines, bottled abroad, the tenden
cy is to use smaller bottles still. The
worthy householder, therefore, who
thinks he has purchased certain light
foreign wines very cheaply would pro
bably find, if he were to measure the
quantity, that he has really paid a high
price.
One sound reason for the rare jero
boam and the little seen double mag
num is that good wine matures best in
big bottles. Nevertheless, we can
imagine that in former days a spark
ling dinner table might be furnished
forth' with the huge bottles to give
promise of plenteous drinking as well as
or well-matured wine.
