If the parts now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges) made of cast iron, the price could be greatly reduced, but the MAJESTIC is not made with a view to hereafter furnishing extra parts for repairs; it is made to last a lifetime without repairs.

Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct, 11. Of course, the event of the week in tKe theaters was the opening of "Hansel and Gretel," by the company sent over and followed by Sir Augustus Harris of London town, which was given at Daly's Tuesday night. Abroad this has had the greatest success of any similar production for a number of years and probably with good reason. But here.

and this week, it has not seemed equal to its ronniatinn hv verv erreat deal, though it is improving. That was the fault of the English manager. He either made a grave blunder in the selection of his "artists," or followed the example or otner ioreign man aeers who have been wont to regard Amer ica as a land of crudity, unable to dis tinguish true merit in a singer ana mere-fore the very place in which to dump bad bargains in the operatic market, with the result of sending up a lot of amateurs or misfit vocalists. ith one or two exceptions the singers in "Hansel and Gretel" are very poor indeed, and they must be "im proved on before the work can have justice done it. witn mat aone, me opera will undoubtedly have a great run in this country.

It has in it all the capabilities of success. But of more interest, because it will be seen by more people, was the production at the Empire Monday of Christopher. Jr." Singularly enough that is the second play given here this season which is the work of a woman, the author in this case being Mrs. Madelaine Lusette Byley. That was enough for some of the critics; they have not been willing to see merit or originality in her work and have written it down with faint praise from the first, ascribing all its good features to the French and its weaknesses to the author.

The latter Insists that the whole of "Christopher, Jr." is her own idea, worked out in her own way. It is not startlingly original, it may have faults of construction, there may be a flaw here and there, but such more intimately con cern the critics per se man the spectator, who pays his money and makes or un makes a success on the stage. UnqueS' tionably the verdict as seen from the box office is far and away for the woman and not for the critic. The audience likes "Christopher, Jr. It settles down to thorough enjoyment of the piece and the interest awakened in the first act increases to the end.

Here is the story of the play: Christopher Colt, is a hard-headed man of business and he wants his son, who bears the same name, to be a professional man, but the young fellow has a taste for business and pursues a course that brings aoout tne lamer uisiiKe. iot only that, but he gets himself into a bad scrape. Going to Trinidad on a time, by mistake, he went to Sleep in tne upper Perth of steamer state-room. Hearing a snore which he does not recognize as his own, he awakes and discovers that a lady is in the lower berth. He rushes out of the room, but the dady's father is on board and does not kill Christopher, but marries him to the daughter under impossible circum stances, such that neither party sees the other, and Christopher signs the name of a friend to the certificate.

The two never meet till three years later, when, under assumed names, they fall In love, and through a series of amusing complications, reaching a comedy climax in the last act discover their condition and are hatrov Christopher, who has filled his son's life full of hardships all the while, is won over in time to bless the young couple and provide nanasomeiy tor mem. Not a little of the success is, of course. uue iu mo cxujMte ii.it ui ine piayers, John Drew is too well known to need men tion, but even his efforts have done less for "Christopher" than the perfect naturalness of Miss Maud Adams, who holds the mirror up to nature in a rather difficult role with rare faithfulness. She simply becomes ner part ana is iora Mexiway ana not Miss Adams. csne leans ner teilows easily, how.

ever good they may be. For simtile eniov. ability this play is far above the average production. The house has always been filled, and the chances are good for its holding the boards for quite a run. It de serves it, Nat Goodwin is trying both "David Gar- ricK-- ana Lend Me Shillings" at the Fifth Avenue Theater this week, and with fairly good success, especially in the latter, tnougn witn no loss or prestige in the former, wherein some thought he was venturing too far.

A man Js rustic attire shambled along the streets of Berlin, carrying in his hand a packet which was sealed and addressed, and wltlh an inscription in the corner to the effect that it contained 25 in notes. A passer-by, who was struck with the Sheepish look of the man, asked what he was looking for. By way of reply the courteous countryman held the packet under his nose amd asked him to read the address, as he had forgotten it and was utiable to read it himself. In a tone of pleasurable surprise the other replied "By jove, the parcel is for me! I have been expecting it ever so long!" The messenger appeared satisfied at having accomplished his mission, and added that he wanted half a crown for hts trouble, which was paid on the pot. The new owner of the parcel at once retired to a dark comer to examine his treasure.

He found nooning but-a couple of heets of wrltlngr and in the middle a white label with the single word, "Soldi" i to make a I i Mil the houses, the strangers from the country kept all of them full to the last rows. To many of them "Shenandoah" and "The Old Homestead" were as new as though Just from a successful run at some New York theater. St. Louis has had an unusual number pf old attractions this season, especially from a comparative point of view, at the two leading houses. For instance, there was 'The Politician," "The Old Homestead" and now "Superba" at the Olympic in succession; and at the Grand there was Ward Vokes, "A Milk White Flag," now comes "Dr.

Syntax," and next "The Rising Generation." Had a little more care been exercised in the booking, the general average of business at both houses might have been improved. The Olympic will be the I nrst to nrcait me m.onotony Dy presenting "Little Christopher." The only novelty in town this week is "The New Boy" at the Hagan, and Manager Hagan deserves to have crowded houses during the whole week, if the play merits any measure of encouragement at all. The Oriental starts in on its second week with better prospects of success than at any time since the first of its misfortunes began. It now looks as though the new place of amusement will find a warm spot in the hearts of St. Louis theatergoers.

The electric lights have been put in since the opening night and relieved it of that somber appearance which marred that occasion. Other details in the arrangements of the place are being rapidly perfected, and before long the theater will be complete in its equipment. The company has shown itself to be a strong one. artistically, and is rapiiWy growing in tavor. When St.

Louls-ans come to know them all they will surely be popular favoritf-s. Miss Meyers and Miss Salinger sang themselves into high esteem in "Nadjy," as did Hallam and Lavid and their confreres. This week the company will present Von Suppe's tuneful opera, It comprises a prologue and three acts. The full cast wil lbe as follows: Stella, daughter of Count Wilfred Tillie Salinger Fanny, her foster sister Annie Meyers Florine, an adventuress May Cargill Petronella, sister of Cristoval Bessie Fairbairn Rudolph, betrothed to Stella.

Is said to be more ot a spectacle than ever, for much new scenery has been built and painted during the summer and new tricks devised, so that it Is now a bright, spick and span pantomime. The Hanlons are in gable workers. William especially. although he has some of th- most eaj.aMe aids in every department, he Overlooks them all and nothing escapes nis eye. It takes alxur ten men in the rigging loft to handle the ropes that lower and raise the ponderous transformation scenes, and it is said that at least ten miVes of roue are used for this purpose.

Half the ime the nn-n work in the dark, where they only have the sense of touch to guide them, and yet no mistakes are made. It would look rather rkMculous for Wallalia, the wicked jueen. to consign Leander to the lion's den and find in its place an inviting-looking two-story farmer's cottage, but to the the flyman it would mean the loss of his position, and yet it would only be the difference of placing his hand on the one rope next to the right one. The Hanlons are English born. They came to this country some thirty years ago, after touring- England and France as acrobats.

There were five of them originally, but onlv two of them remain in the business. Two are dead, one has retired, ajid William, with "Superba," and Edward with "Fantasma," are the only two that remain. This year they have a larger company than ever, as it is the first time they have carried a ballet. It is said they have been re- markably successful in getting together a lot of fine-looking girls. May this prove the case.

There is no comedian in light opera who depends so much upon wholesome methods as De Wolf Hopper, and to the vast army of American theater-goers none appeals more strongly and with more success. He possesses brains, a magnetic personality and a real sense of humor, to which are being added as the years roll on the numerous small arts and graces of the veteran actor. Just at present, when we have not had comic opera of the genuine sort in satisfying quantities for some time, Mr. Hopper, with his second addition of "Dr. Syntax." will be more than usually welcome.

The jolly comedian and his company will wake the merry echoes of the Grand Opera House lo-mgnt aniaunng tne week. Mr. Hopper devoted a moiety of his spare moments during the past summer when he was not witnessing his favorite club, the iants, piay Dase ball at the Polo Grounds, New York City, or astonishing the wiseacres with a humorous and artistic impersonation of Falstaff, to injecting fun, new lines, new songs, new situations and elephantine friskiness into the role of Dr. Syntax. Much new music has been added to Wool-eon Morse's new score, it is said, and the elaborate scenery and brilliant costumes are likewise new, being especially provided.

In the company there will be found some new faces, but most of the old favorites still essay their familiar roles. Mrs. Hopper, who is still dainty Edna Wallace to a great many theater-goers, will be In the front row of Miss Tropics' school. Miss Bertha altimger will play the same part she did last season. The pleasing personality of Mrs.

Jennie Goldthwaite will be missing, however. Edmund Stanley, Alfred Klein, John Parr, T. S. Guise, Alice Hosmer, Ida Lester, and other amusing people and good singers are in the and we have the guarantee of Mr. Hopper's management that all of the pretty schoolgirls had to pass a severe civil service examination, with rigorous age and other -limitations, before they were admitted to the chorus.

There will ba.one matinee on Saturday. "The New Boy" begins a week nt tha tta gan with a matinee to-dav. This is the first presentation St. Louis, and it will be given by the sam company which presented it in twenty-two States of the Union last year. The star of the company is Bert Coote, and he has been more than successful in the part of the young husband, who masquerades as a school boy, and thus deceives the school full of pupils, and the household of the President of the institution.

Mr. Coote is supported, among others, by a young St. Louis actress, Nettie May Cayce, whose stage name is Annette Spencer. This is her first season as a member of a road company. "The New Jiov" was written by Arthur Law.

A microscopic glimpse of the story would be something like this: There is a certain Hjr. Candy, who runs a very swagger hoarding-house for boys.

As a matter of fact this youngster, whose head only reaches the matron's shoulder, is really the latter's husband. They have been married some weeks prior to the open-says nothing about it to the professor.

The ing of the story, but womanlike, the matron old gentleman is very anxious to make the buxom matron his wife, but finds she does not favor the idea. In order to deprive anyone else of 5ier affection he wills her the entire fortune, with the understanding that she does not marry again. While all this is taking place her husband, Archibald Ren-nick, who is known at school at "The New Boy," is having a terrible time. He is forced to take up studies which he abhors, has to smuggle in whisky for the rest of the boys, steal apples and even go into a foot ball game. The opportunity for comical situations Is certainly ample.

Lincoln J. Carter's well-known play, entitled "The Tornado" reappears at Hav-lin's this commencing with thmat-inee to-day. The principal sensational feature is a tornado scene in the first act. This is accomplivhtd with the aid of electricity and specially constructed merftianism. The scene is a country village.

All 13 quiet and calm. Then a faint breeze is heard. A flag on the staff that has long hung limp flutters gently: then as the wind increases it stands out straight. The wind grows into a gale and then into a tornado. The elements howl and the sky darkens.

Lightning vividly flashes in forked tongues a-cross the stage; roofs, fences and debris are hurled through the air; trees are torn up arid crash upon tjhe ground and a house is demolished and blown away. The scene Is one of terrific reality. There are several other very effective scenes in the play, those especially com-mendaHle being a ship at sea in a storm, succeeded by a sinking ship with sailors clinging to the rigging, and then by a representation of an expanse of water, the waves rolling high and furiously, and a lone man struggling first upon their crests and then In the trough of the sea. The final act shows a pretty picture of rustic life. Rose Sydell's Lond on 'Belles, which opens a week's engagement at the Standard commencing with the Sunday matinee October 13.

C. Davis, parodist and imitator of prominent actors: Kellv and St. Clair, black face comedians, soft shoe, buck and wmg dancers: Miss Hendricks Husten, the Swedish Nightingale;" Campbell and Shepp, the German knock-about comedians, and the European sensation and novelty, the three De Novas, electric flying wonders. The show closes with the burlesque, "A Continuous Show." a satire on the continuous show craze, introducing the entire company of twenty pretty girls and ten comedians In songs, dances, marches, medleys and witticisms. When Gus Thomas' friends first read his new play, "The Capitol," they feared his creation of a Catholic priest might, not find favor with the church.

The following letter has been received by Manager J. M. Hill from Fr. Ducey, the famous New York prelate, on the subject: "I return herewith the manuscript of The the use of which I requested some days ago. I have read the play from beginning to end several times.

In my opinion it is a beautiful and entertaining sermon, showing to the world the ideal character of the true Christian. "In the presentation of the part of the Very Rev. Dr. Kennard, the author has shown such a moralist and statesman as the Catholic Church would have Its representatives be. "If the church shall ever merit the admiration of every unprejudiced citizen of the country, it will be through the medium of such a picture as Mr.

Thomas presents in this character. "He Is a man who apprehends the real danger to the nation; who sees the crimes against the masses and the struggling laboring classes, who knows that the lobbyist and politician nre the third legislative house in our national lawmaking, corrupting the very founts of justice. The Capitol' is a play that wil appeal to the toilers and the people as well as to the more favored ones. My servants have been to see It and have come home deeply Impressed.
