Boston.—Lent was ushered In on Wed- nesday of Itst week by a slight drop In tbe attendance at the local bouses, the average for the week being about three-quarter bouses. The blame for this falling off must be laid at the door of the religious season, a* the offerings and weather were of the beat It has been noticed that daring the fmst three years In this city the first and he last weeks of the Lenten period were the off ones for the theatres. The inter- vening time baa apparently made no differ- ence In the box office receipts. Quite a few changes are noted In the week's announce- ments. Alice Fischer, In "Mrs. Jack," Is at tbe Museum: Josephine Hall, In "Tbe Knick- erbocker Girl," at the Columbia, and Mabclle Oilman, In "Tbe Mocking Bird,'' at tbe Park. "A Desperate Chance," at tbe Grand Opera, and "The Road to Ruin," at Music Hall, are popular price shifts. The stock, vaudeville and burlesque houses offer new, attractive bills. Boston Museum (Field, Rich 4 Cbas. Frobman, managers).—Alice Fischer makes her debut as a star in this city on Monday of current week, In "Mrs. Jack,' a play new to local playgoers. Miss Fischers many visits to Boston In Important productions made within recent years has caused her to take rank aa a popular favorite. James Carew, Lotta Llnthicum, Jacques Kruger, Alice Leigh, Frank Matuleu, Myrtle Vinson, Charles Collins and Beatrice Bonner are members of the supporting company. Cur- rent engagement Is for one week, to be fol- lowed by Millie James, In "The Little Prin- ces*" Wm. H. Crane, in "David Harum," closed Saturday night a fortnight of good business. Colombia Theatre (C. Louis Cannot, man- ager).—"Tbe Knickerbocker Girl," a musical comedy, by Alfred E. Aarons and George Totten Smith, has Its first production on any stage at this house March 2. Tbe com- pany Is headed by Josephine Hall, and In tbe support are: Wm. Armstrong, Felix Haney, Grace Belmont, Nellie Beaumont, Lil- lian Bond, Nina Randall, W. H. Sloan, Richard Lee. John J. Itaffael, Edgar Hal- stead, and others. According to those who have seen tho rehearsals a bit of no small site Is In store for the play and players. Length of engagement is Indefinite. The closing week of "The Little Host" saw no Increase In patronage, the average for the tun being only fair. Hollib Btreet Theatre (Isaac B. Rich, manager).—The second and final week of William FavcNham, in "Imprudence," at this house, begins March 2. There Is no doubt about the success of the play, bb tbe audiences of the past week have been large. appreciative and most fashionable. "Sell outs" were recorded for the three matinees, which shows Mr. Kaversbam Is still a great favorite with the female sex. Kay DavlB. the leading woman, Is a Boston girl, and during the past week has received unstinted applause for her clever portrayal of tbe ad- ventures*. Ethel Barrymore, In "A Country Mouse," comes March 0. Park Theatre (Rich, Harris & Chas. Frohman, managers) —Mabcllo Oilman, In "The Mocking Bird," Is tbe attraction at this bouse for this and next week. A snug business Is a certainty, as musical shows are very appealing to our amusement seek- ers. The strong supporting company Includes Sydney Dean, Edgar Atchison-Ely, Frank Dosne, Robert Rogers, Walter Shannon, Loulso Macintosh (a Bostontan) and Maude Kelley. The fortnight's engagement of Dan Daly. In "The Now Clown,' was only fairly successful. Tbe play was a disappointment and was not strong enough to attract largo audiences. March 9, Henry Miller, In "Gret- na Green." Colonial Thfuthi (Rich, Harris A Chas. Frohman, managers).—This Is the fifth week of "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast," with still no perceptible let up In the ca- pacity attendance of tbe past month. The Qrlgolotls troupe of aerial ballet dancers Is a great plaudit winner and shares hon- ors with tbe trio of laugh-makers, Messrs. Bulger, Cnwthorno and McCart Tbkmont Thbatrr (Jno, B. Schoeffel, manager).—"King Dodo" Is In the fourth and last week or a sojourn nearly aa suc- cessful financially as last season's engage- ment. A drop In attendance was noticed last week, but the advance sale predicts full houses for this, the final week. James K. nackett.ln "The Crisis," Is the next ef- fraction. The engagement Is to be of four weeks' duration. Majrstic Thbatbb (Stair & Wl-bur, man- agers).—"Tbe 8torks" closed Its second week Saturday night, with an Increase In business over tho opening week. Richard Carle la ono of the funniest comedians who visits this city, and bis dry and original saying* are worthy of a laugh from the bluest of playgoers. Vim. Rock, who ranks next to Mr. Carle In the matter of applause, ex- tracts an unlimited amount of fnn from a small part, and It Is too bad we do not see more of him. The girls are very pretty, and the company baa been blghly praised for Its singing. B'jstov Theatre (Lawrence McCarty. manager).—Current week Is the third and inst of " 'Way Down Blast."
