'Varletv Is the spice of life," and in
no walk of life Is this more Incontrovort
Iblv true than In tlio amusement world.
The taste of theatre-goers seems to un?
dergo a general change every few veals
nnd the entertainment of to-day differs
altogether from that of yesterday. As
In everything else, however, public taste
In the matter of amusements, seems to
move In cycles. One season tho reman?
tic drama seems t? hold first iliaco, the
next,? melodramatic offerings may no
most In favor, while from time to time
the classical drama hns Its vogue, and
musically tha mead of appreciation goes
out from grand opera to that most com?
mon features of tho amusement offer?
ings of the moment?mnsle.nl comedy.
In conducting a stock company season
It Is. or should be, the object of tho man?
ager to appeal to every kind of tasto by
presenting every kind of play, with, nf
course, certain restrictions. The audiences
that attend the performances given by
a stock compnny would doubtless soon
tire of any ono form of entertainment If
offered contluouslv ?luring the season.
To provide a different dramatic bill of
fare is probably the tiling that requires
more thought than any other ono thing
connected with tho oDeratlon of a stock
company. A novelty Is always sure of
a hearing, and while It is not possible
In dramatic affairs, particularly with a
stock company, to secure absolute nov?
elties unless In very exceptional Instances
still, the stock company manager's ob?
ject should bo to diversify his weekly
offerings to the greatest possible ex?
tent. This policy has always been follow?
ed by Mannger Glffen In former seasons
ind is one or the salient features of his
plans for the ono which has heen so suc?
cessfully Inaugurated by "?Mls3 Hobbs,"
''Friends.", and "Under the Red Robe."
The character drama, with an under
lylflg thread of strong heart Interest,
the kind of plav In which "kind hearts
ire more than coronots" has always had
a. strong hold upon the hearts of all
who turn to the theatre for amusement
and among thoso which has achieved
ert?at success none has ever exceeded
in popularity the famous "Davy Crock
itt" It Is Inseparably linked with tho
tame of Frank Mayo, one of the best
MISS BLANCHE HALL.
actors and most thoroughly lovable men
that the American stage has ever pro?
duced. Davy Crockett and Frank Maya
are In reality, practically, gynonomus
terms slnco tini play wat produced to
Mr. Mayo's great fame and fortune from
' one end of tho country to the other.
Every school boy was familiar with Davy
Crockett and he was tho hero of them
all. The play has always been an especial
favorite In Richmond, whero It was of?
ten played by Mr. Mayo to overflowing
nouse-i. From this typical American
Jrama. Mr. Mayo derived the large for
lune which he afterwards logt In the
production of "Nordeck" and one or two
nther highly ambitious but unprofitable
ventures. Both Davy Crockett and Mr.
Mayo were In obscurity for several years,
Mr. Mayo emerging with the production of
"PuiWen Jiead Wilson" at the Herald
BquarV Theatre some five or six years
ago. This play promised to take Davy
Crockett's place, and Mr. Mayo was,
through it, regaining his former prestigo
and fortune when Ills death occurred
very suddenly while on tour.
"Be sure you're right, then go ahead,"
might almost be used ag a substitute for
the play of Davy Crockett, since it was
a catch phrase that was everywhere link?
ed with the play.
That Richmond likes tho old plays has
been proved very conclusively In connec?
tion with the Glffen Company season by
the patronage extended to East Dynne,
"The Two Orphans." etc. Some people
rnav say: "What! are you coins to play
'Davy Crockett: well, what are you go?
ing to do tliat for?" The management's
answer Is: "Because wo feel confldont
that It will draw large business and he
thoroughly satisfactory to every patron
who comes to witness our revival."
The homely western atmosphere will
be preserved to the main minuto detall
and It Is the manager'? confident as?
surance that It will provo one of the
most popular offerings of the season.
Some one has snld that It Is only the
good thlnKs that live to grow old and
that Is certainly proved by the manager?
ial experience of to-day. Plays which
do not possess ?some Htrong appealing
features or a number of them die very
speedy deaths, and dramatic history
shows that the name order of things
existed when Dav? Crockett was pro?
duced. To the older theatre-goers the
mere announcement that the play Is to
be reviewed Is sufficient to arouse lnt?*r
est. and for the younger generation, that
is. the theatre-goers who have sprung
up within the -*a.st few years, ihe oppor?
tunity to see a play thai they havo
doubtless heard so mush about, will BUro?
ly be extensively taKen advantage of.
The story of Davy Crocket Is one that
appeals equally to all classes In that It
is a study of genuino manhood, written
around one of the most alt me ti ve ligures
in American history. It Is a play that
does any one good to nee without iho
possibility of working harm ? o any one

Th* fctruotpU'.. -jf the prodfuclion itbelf
will be different from anything offered
this senson, and It will be the* purpose of
Manager GlfTcn. assisted by Stane Direc?
tor Dunne, to preserve thnt with which
the author hns' surrounded the charac?
ter and tho nlay. Tlio first net should
bo particularly picturesque, nnd the fn
mous scene of the nttack nf tlie wolves
on tlie cabin, it is said, will bo produc?
tive of nn altogether requisito number of
thrills. The three plays thus far pre?
sented have established the merit of the
compatir bevoiid controversy, nnd It Is
now generally conceded that whatever
I the piav. tlio performance win be all
| that could be asked for. A wonderful
improvement Is shown this season on Ilrst
nights over tlie efforts of nil former com?
panies that Richmond has seen. The
present company is unmistakably tlio
host first nicht organization that Man?
ager Glffen ans presented in Richmond,
and that this fact is becoming generally
known Is sliown by the marked increase
In tho opening night's attendance.
This feature-should he of particular In?
terest in view of the benefit which is
scheduled for to-morrow night, when tho
Brook Avenue night school nnd kinder?
garten fund will be extensively Inter?
ested In lho night's receipts. Richmond
knows no more deserving charity than
this, and contrary to the usual benefit
proposition, fill w,1o contribute toward
this Charitable fund will nt the same
time bo securing for themselves nn en?
joyable evenings entertainment.
Tickets for this performnnco are In tlio
hands of a committee and can bo pur?

At the Bijou.
Ever since the musical comody com?
pany, which appeared under his direction
for threo weeks at the Academy, left
Richmond. Manager Glffen hns been ask?
ed several times dally: "When are you
going to bring that company back?" It
did not seem that there would ever bo
anv other reply than the ono usually
given. I. e., "Not at all." After one week
In Norfolk, following the last ono hero,
Manager Jnko Wells entered Into an
agreement with Manager Glffen covering
the appearance of the company over his
circuit for a period of several weeks and
MISS DEYO,
(Grlfllri Musical Comedy Company).
Its engagement at tho Bijou this wefk Is
only due to the energies of theatrical
bookings, as it was not tho original inten?
tion to include Richmond in the com?
pany's Itinerary. By this corcumstance
none will suv that Richmond Is not the
gainer, for the hit tho company made
here is well remembered, even though
Its performances were given during tlio
latter part of Lent, the ?luletnst nerloel
of the theatrical year. It Is doubtful, too,
if tho full merit of the company was real?
ized until after it had gone. Many of
the jingly tunes in tho three plays pre?
sented are heard nlmost daily on the
streets, anil the Imitations of ceraln char
actors have been legion In tho city's clubs
and social gatherings. The company was
not appreciated while here, although
there wero a number of things that
militated against it, but since it went to
other fields. Richmond has waked up so
to sneak, and has urgently requested Us
return. As usual. Manager Wells has
felt tho public pulse and will this week
nresent tlie company In Mam'sollo 'Aw
kins, a laugh making musical comedy
never before seen here. The organization
Is numercally and vocally as strong ?is
before, except that Miss de Fllllppo Is not
now a member of it, tills resulting In In?
creased prominence and belter opportuni?
ties for Miss Deyo, who was so greatly
admired in "The Girl From Paris." With
possibly one exception, the company Is
tha largest that has ever appeared at the
Btloui while Its Individual and collective
ability needs no comment. It has already
spoken for Itself In Richmond in the mat?
ter of that. Since tbo company played
hero there have been a few minor changes
in the chorus, and the stage Is now un?
der tho direction of Vf. il. Fitzgerald,
for many years stnge director with tlie
Bostoniane, producing during lila associa?
tion with them all their great sUccosses,
Otherwise, the? compnny Is Just as It was
when here, and a stronger a I tract Ion lias
nrobnblv never been seen anywhere ?it tlio
I Bijou wale of prices. It has been a
| source "f wonder In various iriimngerlnl
elrcle-s that Mich a largo and expensive
\ organization could be carried on In elites
like Richmond, Norfolk. Atlanta nnel ]ilr

populations. However, the public Is s?-i
I deirn very extensively Interested in how
times theatrical can lie done: tim accom?
plishment Is what it hangs its lint upon
and Manager Welle eertalnlv deserves to
have his popular play house packed to
the doora at everv performance during
; the week.
