PRIMROSE AND DOCKSTADER iv AT MANHATTAN BEACH.

Of the numerous good theatrical attractions placed before our fastidious this' season, that 'of Primrose and 'Dockstader and their company ot -min-r stdel talent, which opens to-morrow night at the Manhattan Beach Theatre, (, Is assuredly the best.

At one time in the history of entertainment It was thought that minstrelsy had seen Its best days, but this was only wben promoters had failed to grasp Its true inwardness. It has come to be 'that again Is minstrelsy to the fore not the old-time 'minstrelsy of a comic song or two in nearly the same air and key, a few Jokes hoary with age that would need a hatchet to crack, a few minutes painful with sounds ot rattling bones and wheezy banjoes, but the newer, 1, 1 freBher, livelier minstrelsy of the elec- s1 Itrlcol age, when everything goes with a a dash and a sparkle that often causes even the best informed as to the novelties and Innovations of the new Century to Inquire! "What wonderful will be done next Minstrelsy according to what it typifies has been the magic watchword with these premiers of the burnt-cork fraternity, and minstrelsy that pleases Is what has been the result of their efforts to please patrons and friend who, comprehending their efforts, have responded with such hearty appreciation that wherever this great company visits, houses are crowded to repletion with a host of well-satisfied spectators.

This show, In which 8250,000 will be invested, and some 8,000 ot tbe gentler Sex employed. Is to be a great tale of goods made and used by women.

In addition, there will be an oval populated y- the femininity of all nations, a reproduction Of a street In Venice an art gallery, a museum, lecture hall and a gymnasium. Women will serve as Carriage attendants, doorkeepers, ticket sellers, police officers and programme carriers.

The members of the Twenty-third Regiment will be ths guests on that day of the Beach management, and Henry Pain, of flreworka fame.

The regiment will be taken to the beach In epecial trains over toe Long Island Railroad, and will attend the matinee performance of Primrose and Dockstader Minstrels, after which they will give a dress parade and drill on the big lawn lying between the Oriental and Manhattan Beach Hotels.

The officers will dine at the Oriental Hotel, and the start homewardwlll bi made at 10 oclock. Blanche Walsh, in a recent interview, recalls a coincidence which in her opinion augury well for the new play which Stanislaus Stange is now writing for her, and, which Is founded upon FlaubertS novel, "Salammbo. Miss Walsh says that her first, public appearance was made thirteen years ago when she was a mere girl of fifteen, at an amateur performance of "Othello" at the old Windsor Theatre," ht the Bowery-New York.

She was the Desdemona, and the gentleman who played Iago was this same Stanislaus Stange, the author of the new play she is to appear In next season. The coincidence lies In the fact that Mr. Stange accepted the commission to write a play on the subject of "Salammbo for Messrs. Wagen-hals ft Kempet long before these managers had any idea of making a contract to star Miss Walsh. Onoto Watanna, author of "A Japanese Nightingale," the dramatio rights to which have been secured by Klaw ft Er langer, was born In Nagaskl, Japan, twenty-three years ago.

She Is- perhaps, the youngest successful novelist In the world, her third book having Just been purchased prior to its writing by the Harpers. Miss Watanna Is of Anglo-Japanese origin. Her father was an English Consul who married a Japanese woman. Thp marriage was not, however, of that variety which furnishes the main motive iix "A Japanese for while Jack Bigelow married Yuki In Japanese fashion, Miss Watan-nas father married hi wife after toe Christian ceremony. Klaw ft Erlanger will produce "A Japanese Nightingale most elaborately, and will mount It with a magnificence which will riSal even toe sumptuousness of "Ben-Hur." 5- The question has often been' asked, Why does not Henry W.

Savage send the Castle Square Opera Company Into more cities duripg toe oourse of a season? Musio lovers everywhere ask that question, and the home office of the organization Is besieged with letters on the subject. The question Is easily answered, for the reason Is simply that It Is not possl ble to move that organisation about as ordinary companies are moved and have anything left In the treasury at the end ot the season. The organization Is a very large one, eomethlng over 125 people, and there are from seven to ten carloads of scenery and baggage carried with the company. So It is that tbe organization plays a season of forty weeks, but In that time visits but nine or ten of the larger cltlee. The Castle Square Opera Company Is known by all musio lovers to be the best organization that has ever given the grand and standard operas the English language.

It has been In existence for seven years, and Is the only organization of the kind that has even given perfect satisfaction, for while toe standard of work and the personnel of the company Is very high, the of admission Is very moderate. This season Puccini's "La Tosca has been added to the repertory- and Is to bs presented during each engagement played by the ger toe coming season for "The Liberty Belles, which will make an extended tour of all toe principal cities from toe Atlantia Coast as far West as Denver. Charles F. Towle, toe former Washington correspondent, who Was the acting manager of toe American production of "Ben-Hur last season, will continue In this capacity during the coming tout of this play, -'i 'Way Down East will be seen next season only in cities in which it has already played two or three engagements. William A.

Bradys perennial rural drama seems to be unique In the lasting qualities of its charm. i "Peggy From Paris Is the title of toe latest work ot the successful humorist, George Ade, for stkgeland, and Henry Savage is to make the production In toe early autumn. "Peggy from Paris is American from start to finish, D. Price, formerly manager of Richard Mansfield, will continue next season as general manager of William A. Brady's productions of "Lovers Lane.

The piece will be presented by three distinct organizations, as heretofore. William A. Brady Is holdlfig time for Grace George In January at a Broadway theatre, Manhattan.

"Foxy Grandpa will be presented! by two companies next season, one of tofse, beaded by Joseph Hart afid Carrie De Mar, being Identical with that which achieved so notable a success at, the Fourteenth gtreet Theatre, Manhattan.

Alexander Vincent has been engaged for Captain Molly at the Manhattan Theatre. Mr. Vincent is remembered for his effective work as a comedian In "Hon. John Grigsby' last season, he having appeared as toe veteran with a wooden leg In that play. 1 Martin Harvey will produce In Dublin, Ireland, hr September, "The Children of Kings, with Humperdlacks music, which will be seen later in the fall in New York.

Mr. 'Harvey and his company will sail for this country early in October to begin his American tour. Among the small coterie of actors who have been presenting Shakespeare and olasslo drama during recent years no one has been more faithful or consistent than Charles B. Hanford. Out of the twenty year that he has been on toe stage eighteen have been devoted to this line.

Rices "Show which comes to this city during the fall, le a revival of R. A. Barnet's latest "Cadet extravaganza, transformed into a regular attraction by the veteran producer, Edward B. Rice. It is described as a Jolly bit of tomfoolery In two acts and five scenes.

4 'The scene models and costume plates for toe new production of "Robin Hood were submitted to Messrs. Jlamabee MacDonald yesterday, and orders were given to proceed with the contracts with all toe haste possible. It la Intended that the revival shall considerably outvie the original production. The old but ever fascinating melodies of Aubers delightful operetta, "Fra Dlavolo, a work which has made the name of many a singer, will be revived during this week by the Terrace Garden Opera Company at Managers Suessklnd and Rehfeldts sylvan glade on East Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan. Plxley and Luders latest musical comedy, The Prince of PUsen, has made a big success.

If the newspapers of 'Boston are to be relied upon. It was produced at toe Tremont Theatre In that city nine weeks ago, and despite the fact that the weather has at times been very trying, the theatre has been crowded all the time. Mrs, Bpoofier will make up a theatre party to Brighton Beaoh this week of the members of her company who are in Brooklyn.

How a Canadian Editor Gathers I Them In From the Restigouche, and Its Editor Young of the Cornwall (Ont.) has Jusf been having sport with. the salmon of the upper New Brunswick waters, and, thus describes a few days In the Restlgouche country: How much ddie It cost to kill a salmon? 1 Well, that depend If you are a member of the Restlgouche Club your bill may run up a thousand or more, but ordinary mortals can do It for a good deal less, I dropped off at Campbellton, N. a mid-June-morning, and looked up Billy Sproul, ot the Royal Hotel, and got a pointer or two. At 8 o'clock I took an accommodation train1 1 few miles west to Flat Lands, hailed a 'atherly old fellow, William Delaney, caretaker ot the Montgomery and Suction Water, and stated the case. William had a canoe, but no other man wae presently available, so we two went out alone.

-The water was practically free, a nominal rental of 81 a day being charged per rod. There was perhaps half a mile of It altogether, and the Restlgouche River being unusually high, no pools were In We pulled out a few yards from shore, and dropping a stone for an anchor, oast to right and left, choosing a Durham-ranger fly of rather large pattern. The second or third cast brought a nice fellow to the top, a little short, however, and a few minutes later another, short, likewise. "Black salmon, said William, and ho good anyway These kelts or black salmon are fish that have wintered In tbe river, and are lean, lanky fellows, not fit for food, but liable to give you ka good a run as any other. Our first victims may or may not have been kelts; the guides are good-natured fellows as a rule, and sympathetic, and William may have been letting me down easy.

Ths stone Is pulled up, and we drop down a few yards further, and after a while, with a moderately- short cast, a good-sized fish takes the fly, turns over, and then trouble begins. Right out into the river he goes, the reel screaming with delight, one could almost Imagine then an eruption In the water, and three or four feet of glittering silver Is In the air for a second or two. Another run and then a sulk at the bottom, with a stetujy chug, obug, as If the fish trying to get rid of the hook that was interfering with his freedom of motion. 1 "Keep the strain on him, salcf 'WllI-iam, and look out when he goes again. A tew minutes of suspense, then another rush and another Jump, and away he races up the centre of the river.

A Metapedla salmon bound for the clubhouse for sure. But towing a canoe was a pretty heavy drag, and soon there were signs of distress. Tbe fish led somewhat more easily, he was reeled up, and ran out several times, each rush a little leas vigorous. All the time the canoe was being worked nearer ehore, till at last I was able to get out on the gravel. Fifty feet out the fish was lying almost exhausted on the top of the water and was coaxed In till a stroke of the gaff Impaled him and he was kicking himself on the gravel, when a blow from a stick straightened him out.

A Meta-pedia salmon he was, deep and chunky, only a day or two from salt water, bright and shining, and on the scale a few hours later weighed 22 pounds. They were not specially keen In the afternoon, one or two short rises, a run for a few minutes and a lost fish, and Jnst as we were preparing to suspend operations a good stiff strike. This fish did not Jump, but sulked for perhaps half a hour, then a wild rush or two. In vain we tried to guide him to a snug harbor, he would make for the south shore where there was no chance to land. A rather stiff rapid Intervened, and In the trouble of navigating It with one man, the fish said good-lye, taking with him the ily and half the leader It was nearly train time again, and reluctantly we wound up operation for the day.
