Lavender and Tomson, who appeared here earlier in the season, will present their singing and dancing sketch, "The Real Artist." A blackface monologue entertainer new to Rochester will be Dan Allman, who for two seasons was leadfrig comedian with Hi Henry's Minstrels.

Mr. Allman is described as an "enlivening entertainer, whose comical stories are diverting and whose humorous manner of rattling on from one thing to another wins the favor of his hearers." From this description it would seem that Mr. Allman's method is the one employed by the most successful of monologue entertainers. A song and dance act will be contributed by Hanson and Nelson, two girls who are said to be good singers, good dancers and good dressers. Two continuous performances of this bill of varieties will be given every afternoon and evening this week at Cook opera house.

The "Parisian Belles" burlesque and Taudeville combination will be at the Empire theater all the week giving the customary matinee performances. It is announced by its press agent as "the highest class company now touring the country for quality of voices, excellence of programme, richness of costume and class of people." This puts the "Parisian Belles" above the Alice Neilsen Opera Company, for instance, and speaks well for the bravery of the "Parisian Belles" advance-man. Really, though, the "Parisian Belles" company ranks very well among organizations of its class and is likely to furnish entertainment that the patrons of the Empire will find entirely to their taste. The performance will consist as usual of a burlesque and a vaudeville olio in which Miss Anna Suits and Frank Hayes will be especially prominent. The concert by the Tuesday Musicale chorus and the Dossenbach orchestra announced for Friday, April 6th, should attract a large audience.

The hour for beginning the concert has been fixed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in order that those who are occupied earlier in the day may be able to avail themselves of this opportunity to enjoy excellent music at popular prices. The Baker theater announces two important musical events that will mark the closing weeks of the regular season. Madame Nordica, one of the world's greatest singers, will be heard in a song In Jerome K.

Miss Annie Russell's engapement at the Lyceum is especially interesting since this trill be her first appearance here since ehe has become a star of considerable magnitude. A little more than two years ago Miss Russell encountered an artistic misfortune. She played the heroine in Joseph Arthur's very bad play, "The Salt of the Earth," since familiar in the popular-price theaters as "On the Wabash," and "The Salt of the Earth," at Wallack's study for grand opera, said Helen Sen-ram.

Mr. Kellerd's Macbeth should be an impersonation second in interest only to Modjeska's Lady Macbeth. This engagement should attract to the Lyceum audiences representative of Rochester's best intelligence and culture, for to such audiences the American stage has nothing better to offer than Shakespeare interpreted by Modjeska. The advance sale of seats for the engagement will begin next Wednesday morning at o'clock.

The advance sale of seats for the engagement of Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry to give a single performance of "The Merchant of Venice," at the Lyceum, will open at the Lyceum box olfice at 2 o'clock next Friday afternoon, March 30th. The Lyceum management, knowing that there will be a rush for seats, has chosen this "A Young Wife" is an unusually strong and well-presented comedy drama, by J. K. Tillotson, an experienced and successful playwright. It was so greatly liked when it was seen at the Baker theater early in the season that its re-engagement is judicious.

The piece is well put on, the scenes and costumes being particularly handsome. The cast is a notable one. The leading part is still in the hands of Miss Selma Herman, who, as Ethel Douglass, the young wife, made a most pleasing impression here. Miss Herman has a fine stage presence, and her portrayal of the part is finished and intelligent. Miss Charlotte Crane is succeeded in the role of Grace Douglass by Miss Minnie Radcliffe.

In the male parts, all of which were capably filled when the play was seen here before, the only change is that Mr. Horace Neyman replaces Mr. Claude Gillingwater as Horace Greengage Dobbins. Mr. Malcolm Williams is still with the company, playing Clarence Douglass, the part he originated, and Mr.

Emmett C. King will again be seen as Hubert Douglass, the discarded son. Other members of the original New York company are: John L. Wooder-son, Niel Florence, Frank Sheridan, John Bannister, James J. De Barre, Miss Sydney Cowell and Miss Margaret Dale Owen.

To-morrow morning seats will be placed on sale at the Baker theater for the four weeks of operatic productions which will be inaugurated on Monday evening, April 9th, with "The Wizard of the Nile." All arrangements have been carefully completed for the introduction of this innovation during the regular theatrical season, and it is promised that the operas and musical comedies, to be presented during this limited season, will be first-class and meritorious in every way. None of the offerings of this company have ever been produced in Rochester at other than high prices of admission. The policy will be to change the bill each week and two matinees will be given weekly, Tuesday and Saturday. The repertoire chosen for theater, turned out to be one of the flattest failures ever achieved on the New York stage. It was shelved in mid-season and Miss Russell was, apparently, shelved with it.

But within a month Miss Russell had made a new opportunity for herself. appeared in a Twelfth Night Club entertainment at the Empire theater, in rDangerfield '93." Her impersonation of Madge Primrose in this charming little play made a strong impression, and wfthin a week "Dangerfield "0u" was being pJayed as a curtain raiser to "Oh. Susannah" at Hoyt's theater. New York. It made "Oh, Susannah" tolerable and scored one st the big hits of the season.

Those whsaw Miss Russell in "Dangerfield 'Uu" at the Lyceum here in April. 1SDS, can hardly have forgotten the delightful performance. Shortly after the Rochester engagement Miss Russell went to London and played "Dangerfield '05" at the Gar-rick in late. May. London went wild over her and her London season, spite of the recital at the theater on Monday, April 30th and on May 14th there will be a concert by David Bisphara and the Kneisel String Quartette.

The recitals are under the direction of John J. Engel and William C. Engel, who will have full charge of the subscription lists. The Dramatic Club of the University of Rochester has hit on a novelty in college theatricals for its annual entertainment at the Lyceum. The club will present on the evening of April 26th the most popular and lasting play ever produced on the American stage, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," good, old T.

not a burlesque, mind you, but the real thing, seriously played, for the boys fully understand that the more seriously they play it, the funnier it will be. Picture to yourself a college boy playing Little Eva seriously. Could the most accomplished humorist conceive of anything more mirth-provoking, unless it be a college boy seriously attempting the highly emotional role of the hunted Eliza. Of course there are portions of the play, such, as Little Eva's bible-reading, that the college boys will be obliged to garble to avoid the appearance of irreverence, but otherwise they promise a straight performance of T.

"Catherine," a play of strictly domestic interest, by Henri Lavedan, which had been produced in the preceding January by the Comedie Francaise, was deemed a suitable vt-bicle for her. Supported by a splendid company she appeared in a translation of this play at the Garrick theater, New York, October 2i, lSiSw Thanks to the star and her company the play scored a success, achieved the honor of being burlesqued at Weber Field's and lasted at the Garrick until January 7th of last year. Then Miss Russell went on the road with it, closing a successful touring season late in April. "Catherine" didn't get to Rochester, and the probabilities are that, so far as the rlay is concerned, Rochester didn't miss much. This season Miss Russell has, by all accounts, a play and a part worthy of her and suited to her, in "Miss Hobbs." "Miss Hobbs" is a comedy by Jerome K.

Jerome, and is said to be the best thing that clever writer has ever put on the stage. The play has been described as "Much Ado About Nothing" brought up to date and also as a modern "Taming cf the Jhrew." MLss Ilbbs has been called Shakespeare's Beatrice in modern guise and environment. An orphan, Miss Hobbs has Wen brought up by a cranky old aunt, who has filled the girl's head with nun-sense about the wickedness and worthless-ness of men and the higher life of woman. She is a sweet little man-hater, who finally meets her lienedick. But before this consummation has been reached she has done a great deal of mischief iu two acts of pure comedy.

She has filled a young wife with so many of her own ideas of the depravity of man that she has left her husband to seek shelter with Miss Hobbs. She has aLso temporarily separated a pair of youthful lovers. The New York critics when "Miss Hobbs" was first produced at the Lyceum on September 7th last uuanimous-ly praised it for its wittiuess and the PUT ON lecently why he does not get a new play to succeed "Shaun Rhue" and its companion piece, "The Kerry Gow," Mr. Murphy said that he had been unable to find a worthy successor. "Why should I worry about it?" he continued.

Other members of this company are: Helena Salinger, Margaret Bcrwyn, Margie Kingston, Florence Morse, Joseph Mealey, Adolphe Mayer, Sully Guard and Budd Ross.

Placing the tickets on sale at one time for the entire season will be an accommodation to those who intend witnessing each of the operas presented. Captain Paul Boynton's troupe of trained Alaskan seals and sea lions will be the chief attraction in the bill of varieties this week at Cook opera house. They will be exhibited by Captain Adams. The performance is said to be both instructive and amusing, the seals performing their various tricks in clumsy fashion, but displaying a remarkable degree of intelligence. It is expected that the act will prove especially entertaining to the ladies and children, for whom a reception on the stage of the theater has been arranged for next Tuesday from 12:30 to 1:30, which will afford the little folks and their friends an opportunity to get a good look at the queer animals and observe their peculiar movements.

A New York paper pronounces this exhibition of Boynton's performing seals and sea lions the most interesting of its kind ever shown on. the stage. One of the strong acts of the bill will be the athletio exhibition by the Bright Brothers, sensational athletes and hand to hand acrobats. These performers appeared at Cook opera house in the latter part of last season. At that time the Democrat and Chronicle said of them: "The athletic act of the Bright Brothers this week at the Cook opera house is the neatest exhibition of the kind ever seen in Rochester.

They use no apparatus, but their series of remarkable feats in body lifting keeps the audience interested throughout their performance." Herbert Cawthorn, eccentric comedian, singer, dancer and instrumentalist, and Susie Forrester, singer of "coon" song, will present their comedy sketch, "A Damage Suit," in which they were seen at Cook cpera house last season. Mr. Cawthorn is a clever character comedian and he is well suited in the part of the nervous little lawyer who kills a dog and in relating the fact to his fair client is supposed to be confessing to murder. Miss Forrester sings "coon" songs a little better than any of her competitors in vaudeville and some of her admirers have compared her to May Irwin. Miss Lillian Western, "vaudeville's premier musical artiste," will have a prominent place in the bill.

Miss Western is probably without a superior as a xylophone player and all her work is artistic iu quality. She has included the piano iu her list of instruments this season and her playing has been highly praised for its brilliancy and firmness, which is described as almost masculine in irl'M it was called me casino seemed to be a dramatization in thr. by Harry B.

In "Master and Pupil," Louis Mann and Clara Lipman play serious parts. Eddie Foy is to be the comedian of the London production of "The American Beauty."

Francis Labadie is ceriously ill with typhoid fever at his home in Philadelphia, and has canceled his dates for the season. Viola Allen will rest during holy week, although many offers of time for that week have been made to her managers, Liebler Company. Roland Reed, it is announced, will resume his stage work early in August, when he will open his season in Boston in a new play now being written for him.

Mrs. Langtry's daughter, Jeanne, has made a hit as a society entertainer in London. Captain Hugo de Bathe, Mrs. Lang-try's husband, is ill with fever at the Cape Town Military Hospital. Anna Held, at the conclusion of her engagement at the Manhattan theater, March 31st, will tour in "Papa's Wife" for five weeks, after which she will sail for Europe for the summer.

The cast of "Twelve Months Later," to be produced to-morrow eveniug at the MadUou Square Theater, will include Anne Sutherland, Miriam Nesbitt. Adelaide Keim, Frederick Bond, Leo Dietrichsteiu and Charles Bradshaw. Roland Reed is recuperating at his home from the effects "of his recent illness, which necessitated two delicate and dangerous surgical operations. His life at one time was despaired of, but he is now on the road to complete recovery. Preparations are well in hand for liebler production of Frances iugs's dramatization of James Lane Allen's before they were made stage nen wholesomeness of its sentiment.

It was pronounced "charming from the first line to the. last." But there seemed to be a general fear that it was too good and too eiean to succeed. The apprehension proved unfounded. "Miss Hobbs" played to constantly crowded houses at the Lyceum until January -'th List, thus scoring a New York run of 117 nights. Since then "Miss Hobbs" has been mot successfully on tour and has already leen back to New York, playing last week at the Harlem opera house.

Meantime "Miss Hobbs" has been successful on the other side of the Atlantic, having begun au extended run at the Duke of York's theater, London, on December LSth last. Miss ussell is supported by an excellent company including that general favorite Mrs. Gilbert, long with the Daly company, Charles J. Riihmau. also of the old Daly company, Campbell Golian, William II.

Lewers, Clara Bloodgood, Harry Rose, Mabel Morrison, Franeis Sedgwick and Elizabeth liathburn, of whom all but Messrs. Golian, Lewers and Itose were in the original New York cast. "Miss Hobbs" can safely be counted (. playwrights took liberties with forts to win equal fame in other characters to that which he enjoys as Rip Van Winkle, but without success; Charlotte Cushman has similar experience in an effort to put her "Mag Merrilles" in the background: John Owen, a splendid character comedian, could not draw a house except as "Solon Shingle;" Sothern as "Dundreary," John S. Clark as Dr.

Pang-loss, and many others have contributed to the record. Mr. Murphy has been shoeing a real horse and singing Molloy's music in "The Kerry Gow," and playing the dual role in "Shaun Rhue" for nearly twenty years, and no lover of Irish drama is anxious to see him abandon these plays. The concert to be given at the Baker theater Wednesday evening by the Orchestra, Glee Club, Mandolin Club and Madrigal Club is an effort of the students to raise money for the school's athletic fund. Tho advance sale of seats indicates that it will be a very successful effort.

The orchestra will be directed by Mr. Eugene Hahnel, the chorus by Mr. William M. Re-basz, and the Mandolin Club by Mr. Clayton Lamphani.

Several solos comet, violin and vocal will be gives, and Miss Katherine Burns will contribute elocutionary numbers. The entertainment will be agreeable, the students are entitled to Rochester's support in their effort to maintain the athletic standing of Rochester's high school, and patronage should be liberal. Seats can be secured at the box-office and tickets purchased of students can be exchanged there for reserved seat checks without additional charge. This is th programme: overture "Light Cavalry" It.
