Wormwood's monkey theatre anu: circus, which consists of at least two score animals, proved an -act. that was fully up to expectations, and the various odd tests Introduced by the little performers were productive of considerable applause, ileurv Watson,' Alice Hutcblngs and Ed. Edward's Ing turn was full of good ' — the house. Orvllle and Frank, clever gym- nasts, held the attention,, of tie audlenco from tho beginning to the close of their act, applause being liberally.bestowed on them. Pclot created much lausjttcr by his comical- ities in hlB Juggling ettprts. The Van Brothers produced Bweet muslo In all sorts or novel manners on various musical instru- ments. Tbo Ford Slaters, in songs and dances, made a pretty picture, and acquitted themselves with credit and to the satisfac- tion of tho audience. Belle Hathawaya monkey and baboon troupe gave an exhlb - tlon that was the height of simian Intelli- gence and training. Sunday's concerts drew over-crowded houses Dec. 27, and gave en- tire satisfaction. Next week, Al. W.

Metropolitan Optra House. — "Parsi- fal," Blehard Wagner's latest music drama, was given Its Urst iwoductlon In Amenta Thursday, Doc 24, at this bouse. It was also the llrst production of the work anywhere Fourteenth Street Theatre (J. Wesley •Rosonquest manager).—The revival of tho IriBU play, "Bobert Emmet," occurred here night of Dec. 28, and attracted a lurge audi- ence. This plav id by Brandon Tynan, and was first ■ produced at this theatre last «?a- son, when It bad a run of ten weeks, with tbe author In the title role Durlne last season Mr. Tynan retired from the company, relinquishing the leading role to Bobert Con- ness, who Is still playing tbe part. It affords Mr. Conncss ooportunlty for a display of bis undoubted talent as a heroic actor, and, coupled with an cosy and thoroughly un- affected stage presence, his success with the wsrds also scored heavily. Jack Norworth, one of the best performors In bis line now before the public, had plenty of new material, nnd told bis stories and sang his. song* to splendid tributes of approval. Joboron Davenport and Lorolla presented their sterl- ing acrobatic act, "The Farmer and tbe Toot, ball Players." which is entertaining durln- every second of Its time, while the Sisters Meredith, who know bow to sing and dance, presented a novelty which .was in crerv respect a worthy one. It was received verV well Indeed. Others were: Treloar, In feat's of strength, wblcb show him to great ad- vantage; John Gelger, whose trick vlollu playing is well worth hearing any number of times; Burnett and Weyerson, In their clever tramp comedy farce; Hubert Dc Veuus, chalk artist, who always Bcores well: Thomas and Werden, illustrated songs; Bruuimell- nnd Klmberly, comedy sketch, nnd John E. ■ Drew, . whose flue Uunclug Is well kuown. The kalatechnoscope continues. Pastor's Theatre (Tony Pastor, muna §cr).—Manager- Pastor furnished the good 111, and a house crowded hi every part sup- plied tbe good will on Dec. 28, Which marked the occasion us one of Jolly good fellowship, und due uppreciatloa of the management m efforts In providing «uch un excellent list of vaudeville talent.

The performance on Thursday be- tlje Ir | >h rnartyr. was assured, and Mr. Can- prominently In the bill; the Sully Family, lu linn at C o'clock In the afternoon, and at the end of the first act, which was about two hours later, the audience was permitted to go to dinner, and at ubout 8.40 the second uct began. Tho performance then continued until midnight, when tbe curtain fell upon, the third and last act. Seldom bus so lurp> an audience been gathered within the walls of this home of grand opera, and the re- ceipts, which were over Jlu.OW, have rarely been equalled at tin operatic performance lu this city. The story enf the work appeared In these columns after Us llrst presentation lu Bnyreutb, awl !t 1b therefore unnecessary lo give It nt this time. As a production there Is no doubt of the success <>l "Parsi- fal." It is a superb spectacle, and every one of the six scenes Is grandeur Itself. The closing of net tivo, which depicts the de- molition of the mystic temple nnd all of Its 'surroundings, is a triumph of stage art, and the splendor nf the other scenes also de- serves high praise. As un owretlc work, or ns it is styled, "a music ilramn," it.falls much below the standard set by Herr Wag- i.er In his other works. In all of his pro- ductions familiar to us he selected themes -well within his grasp and gave them musical settings Hint made them deeervedly popular. In "Parsifal" he overreached himself. He An Interupted Honeymoon," easily sus- tained .their reputation as talented enter- tainers, and their efforts wcrv' ^recognlzc-l ns being decidedly clever: Carleton and Terrc, in "A titrlngtown Yap;" the Tour- ists Trio, a capital singing act; Harry Tbom- it monologlsl a of the vaude. ness carried all before him. The support- ing company Is an excellent one, and tbe Urst appearance here of Uie veteran actor, <>won Fawcctt, In the character of Darby Keegata, Is noted. The engagement Is for two weeks.

It does not- touch tho right chords of the humau composition lo spur us on to greatness. Sorrow, grief and tenderness may be awakened by pity, bat none of these inspire greatness. That comes lrqm sterner stuff. And this. Is the great fault with the music of "Parsifal."
