The prices nf the seats have' been raised for the oc- ciutlon, nnd as Mr. Wyndhain and Mary Moore, who is bis partner In Ills latest ven- ture, ure : personally defraying the costs of Hie performance, the whole ot tlie recelptn will be avullahle for the deserving public charity to which the. proceeds were, long ngd illumined. ' Of the bouse Itself there wns u private view- on Thursday afternoon, when the New was pronounced to be a very handsome addition to our-Loudon the- atres. It. should prove particularly coin- lorlolile. nt any rate, white its stalls and other seals remain spaced as liberally as they nre ut. present, in nppearunce the lu- torlor. wllh Its three tiers of dress circle, I'uinlly circle nnd gallery, strikes one ns nvlher lofty, while Its light and dainty col- oring of white and gold, and general Louis XVI decorations, rather accentu- ates this Impression. The curtain nnd hangings ot ltdse du Hard silk nnd brocade: and velvet are. very warm nnd cheerful in effect:, the 30ft, prorenlnm :ls hold In style, nnd the upholstery Is admirable In taste, helping, together with the beautiful wall ornnraentntloii, to make the King's room — iirtarlivd to the-royal hot—Well worthy of royalty. Although the passages are not very wide, the entrances ami 1 exile meet tbe full official requirement of tire day, and In the mat- ter of lighting; 'heating and ventilating tbe New Theatre will-be found quite up to the newest standard ot perfection In such mat- ter?. A very pretty souvenir has been pre- pared for the opening night. The great attraction nt tbe Hippodrome. Introduced Inst Monday; was the return and last visit of *IIrrr Julius Seeth with his troupe ot thirty-one lions, presented to him bv.tlte Emperor Menellk, of Abyssinia, sad transported by him from the continent to ICuflniid at a coat of something like £500. Joy reigns' in. the tepees of Col. Cody's red men at Olympln. During thopa/it week they have received from the reservation In South'Dakota a large parcel containing many things dear to the heart of nn Indian. The-parcel, included, among other things, a large unmunt of ingle fenthera, for the mak- ing of head dresses nnd war bonnets. To- utMher with .this highly valued package ot writ rent hem there were various Indian del- Iniclee-which appeal to the palate of the red man. < CoL Cody will hid farewell to liondon at the tcrtomatlon of the perfnrm- r.nnt of Salurdhv- evening, April 4, mid the few reiiinlllllig weeks of his engagement will I'ltdnubledly he-most-NiiccesRfuL •At' tlie Apollo Theatre, on March 17.

Esmond the right io produce bis plsy, "Imprudence," in this country, and will present the piece in .London next September, The programme nt the Palace Theotne, al- ready decidedly strong, bos now ,a valuable addition in tbe appearance of Ksroe Beringer a* reciter. The talented young actress., who, in- the estimation of some critics, Is likely to take quite - the leading place In Kbakesueoreau and romantic plays, shows her v«rsittlllty by clvlug three pieces of different kinds. One Is a dramatic story la Verse, called "Lanka," In which the rich voice and admirable style of .he reciter caused a deep Impression on the audience. Then she re. cited a aort piece, colled '-The Widow Ma- lone," In brilliantly humorous style, and con- cluded with "Tommy Atkins In Love," tbe comicality of which she rendered capi- tally. Miss llerlncer's recitation Is of quite remarkable quality from erery point of view. Z'/le fcople says: "When Dnndas Slater resigns his general moUogershlp of the Al- harabra Theatre, next May. K. A. Flckerlug, his'assistant; will take over bis duties. Mr. I'Ickeolng, although tbe youngest ot London managers,- has served a long apprenticeship to his profession." I gave nn Indication of this a week ago,- bnt even now the announce- ment Is premature. ' At the time of writing tbe plans of the Alhambra directors'are not definitely settled, but'-Mr.- Pickering's pro-' motion Is extremely probable. As I have said before, a better man could not pick up the reins laid down'by Mr. Slater. • Beerbehm Tree has definitely decided that ho will produce "Richard II," at His Ma- jesty's Theatre, at 'the oilenlng of his .Au-i tumn season. "Besurrectlon" will 'go on tour at tbe end of the nnonth. starting at Plymouth. The success of "Resurrection' at His Majesty's Is even greater than that of the Purls' production; and tbe bouse has been .crowded erery evening. Herald du llnurler and Muriel Bcanmont are engaged to be married. They are both plnylng lii""J"he Admlruhle Crlrhton," and.In the Inst act of that piece one churaeter says: "We are going lo get married," and Miss P.euumont, as r.ndy Agalluv Lasenby, as the Since of tlio ifou. Ernest Woolley (Mr. du anrler), says: "And so arc Ernest and 1." Oeorgo Alexander announces tbe last per- formance of "if I Were King" for Friday evening next, nnd ■ the" production of "Did Heidelberg" for the following Tliursdny. Madeleine Lticetle Ryley's four act com- edy; "The Altai" of Friendship." will follow "A Clean Slate" ar the Criterion. The King'and the Princess of Wales wit- nessed the performance of "Whitewashing Julia" on Thursday' evening. So great is the success of the piece that Arthur Bour- chler . bos decided to give Wednesday as well as Saturday matinees. ' Ellen' Terry has decided that Ibsen's "Vikings" shall be.the llrst play to be given' during her season at the Croat Queen Street Theatre.. The production will be directed. by Uordan Craig. ■ ■■...- Produced In October, 1001, "A Chinese Honeymoon" will soon register Its. Blx hun- dredth performance, end Frank Curzon can boast that it bus Tun longer than any other play now In London.' ' . 1 hear .that Walter Gibbons has taken over a large interest In the Balham Theatre. which is to be renamed the Duchess Palace Theatre of Varieties. It will open 10. ns a high class vaudeville theatre, and will be run ou tbe two performtnecs system, the. ILrst house commencing at (1.40 and the second at S.riii.

Brixton, and the Itrlxton Theatre, will be managing director. i News. is. to hand of the successful pro- duction nt La Scale, Milan, of the. ballet, "in Japan," the music by Louts Gnnne, re- cently seen, at the Alhambra here.- Tbe spectacle bus been greatly enlarged, no lees than 000 performer.s; taking part In It, with new costduios designed by Coinelll, tho whole being produced under tbe direction, of Signer Coppi, of urury Lade Tlieatre. " it Is said that a,big theatre nnd circus Is likely to occupy the site of Meux's Rrowcry. at the corner of Oxford and Tottenham Court Itond. Everhart opens a starring engogemeut at the Circus Carre, Amsterdam, this month. McKay aad Laurence, recent arrivals from America, were Bureau callers this week. Lltttlc Fred, now starring at the Empire, with hlB continental dog act, will sail for A nierlcii in January, 1U04, for a long engage- ment. Morrell nnd Evans, who are Immense fa- vorites at the Standard, Victoria, have been rotnlncd as bendllners again this week. Weston and Yost, and BIJou Russell di- vide the honors nt the Middlesex this week. The letter's clever dancing' 'and tbe bright comedy of thb former act easily keeps Ameri- ca 4o the front.
