There had been a deal of advance press work and billing for tbls new sketch, so it was evident that much was expected of It in the way of success. But just the contrary was the outcome at the Monday of Feb, 10. John Lalt Is the author, and its one scene Is a comer on tbe lower East Side, New York City. What Is Intended as the chief feature of the Bketcb Is the Introduction of ten members of the "Mnlvntlon Array,*' with their drums and tambourines. They are in the full uni- form of the "Army," and the audience did not know whether to laugh or regard them seriously. One of the "Army" girls has been wronged by a thief, who meets her here and endeavors to get her to return to him. They have a scene here lasting; ten min- utes, during which he uses all the arguments In bis power, but the girl remains steadfast to her religion, and the curtain falls. There would not be much prospect to bring success to Mr. Lalt's sketch In vaudeville, hut to place It at the "corner" for Its first New York showing was fatal. There was very little applause at Its unlab. The cast: Slippery Jim Malcolm Williams Jennie Bowen 'Beatrice Maude Florence Clark Louise' Chnnfrau George King A.

While his vlalt on tbo other side was brief, he accomplished a good deal. "I went, direct upon my arrival in Europe, to Vienna, to fulfill an engagement made some months ago to meet the compoxer, Franl Lobar, who wroto tho music for Tho Merry Widow,' The Count of Luxembourg,' 'Gypsy Love,' and other well known operas," said Mr, Klnw on Ills arrival home. "During my stay there I heard the score of I.elinr's latest operetta. 'The Ideal Wife,' which Is to be produced shortly In Vienna, and secured It for Klnw & ICrlnngcr. It Is really n farce set to music, and tells the story of a hus- band and wife who worn beginning to tiro of each other; she proposes to go away for a while, but comes buck shortly after, Im- personating her own sister, and by an ap- juii'L'iit change of manner, taste and dress, wins tier husband buck again. In Tho Ideal Wife' Lobar seems to have come back to the lighter, popular melodies which characterized "i'lio Merry Widow,' and It ought to prove a very great success. "I also secured, while In Vienna, 'The Envious Butterfly' and "The Circassian Itcaiity,' two new operettas. 'The Envious Iluttcrfly' Is by Mnilnu and Ornennichstned- tin (composer of The Itosc Maid'), a Chi- nese operetta in the time of tho present re- public. Tho principal characters ore ths four nmhoKsadors and their wives, a Chinese girl, Nadmc, and a young student, who has been educated In America. The plot deals with a railroad concession which tbe Aus- trian* want to get from tho republic. The comedy Is evolved from the cross situations of the Austrian flirting with Nndmo, nnd tha Austrian's wlfo flirting with the student. The student and Nndmo am the principal lovers of tbe play, and In the end marry. "In Berlin I engaged for Klnw .& Krlangcr, for a term of years, the services of Use Alder, who is a great continental favorite. She will be seen In some of our musical comedies during tbe season of 1U1I. She Is at present on an engagement to the Monti Opcrctten Theatre. In llcrlln, and will have tbe principal rote In "Tho Rnvlnus llutterfly.' when that opera is produced there next Oc- tober. This young woman could not speak a word of Knglish last January. She began studying thla Autumn, and speaks quite well now. She Is chic, has a good voice, la learn- ing the American and Knglish stylo of dan- clng, and ought to bo successful here.
