Correspondence
New York, December 6. — What was announced as the second In a cycle of plays by Charles Kami Kennedy, The Servant in the House being the first, had its first presentation last Morula v afternoon. The new play Is The Winterfeast, and a large audienee assembled in the Savoy Theatre to see it enacted by the Henry Miller Associate Players. The Winterfeast has only this apparent relation to The Servant in the House — that its theme is hatred, while the theme of the earlier play was love. The Winterfeast is a tragedy, for out of seven characters involved three meet violent ends, while we hear of much more slaughter of persons whom we never see. The Servant in the House exhibited allegorically the sweetening, transforming power of love. The Winterfeast sets forth the devastation, moral and physical, that follows in the train of hate. The single setting, the home of an old viking, Is wonderful in its realistic details, and costuming, makeup and properties are all that the eye could desire. It is not the sort of a play that is apt to find great favor with that portion of the theatregoing public that wishes only to be amused, but it may please the serious minded, who may not mind its length. Many of the lines are admirable, or, to use a familiar expression, full of meat, and the situations are most skillfully worked out. The company, headed by Editli Wynne Mat! bison, the author's wife, is an admirable aggregation of players. As the wife of the Viking's son. Miss Matthison again proved herself complete mistress of her art, and Gladys Wynne was admirable as the sentimental maid. Walter Hampden acted the dual roles of father and son — both Icelandic warriors — excellently. Admirable, too, was the work of Robert Cummings, as the Viking head of the family. • • • Fritzi Seheff returned to town last Monday and appeared last night at the Knickerbocker Theatre in a new comicopera called The Prima Donna, of which the book is by Henry Blossom and the music by Victor Herbert. This first act takes place in a little cafe chantant In a suburb of Paris. This cafe is frequented by the young officers from a neighboring barracks. The proprietor, a comic opera German with a genuine love for music, has engaged some talent from Paris, and the soprano of the company has such a cold that she cannot sing. Of course, Mile. Athenee, the famous singer of the opera, is touring in her automobile and has to stop at this cafe while the chauffeur shifts tires, and she promptly takes pity on the broken down soprano and volunteers to take her place. They're off. 'Nough said! Fritzi Seheff herself was delightful in her part. She acted with plenty of spirit and sang her songs to the undeniable satisfaction of her hearers. Her costumes were designed to show the exquisite contours of her figure, which remains as piquant as ever. A very good company appears in the operetta. James K. Sullivan makes a great deal of fun with the character of Gnndeltinger, the German proprietor of the cafe. W. J. Ferguson lent his fine theatrical craft to the role of Beaurivage. the prima donna's father, and William K. Ilarcourt acted the polished villain, ('apt. Bordenave, excellently. The orchestra did its work commendably and John Lund conducted well. The Prima Donna ought to have a long run. • • » Anna Held reappeared for the first time this season at the New York Theatre last week in Miss Innocence, a new musical comedy by the indefatigable librettist. Harry B. Smith, with music by Ludwig Englander. One Couldn't find the Isle of Innocence on any seagoing chart, and there is only the librettist's word for It that it is situated in the blue Mediterranean. But as the starting point for the plot of Miss field's new musical extravaganza. Miss Innocence, it is likely to become well known to New York theatregoers, if the way in which it was received at the first performance counts for anything. The plot is as loosely woven as most such plots are. There was just enough of It to carry the piece through a series of beautiful stage pictures, with melody to match, where Miss Innocence (Miss Held), a pupil at Miss Sniffins's model School of Innocence on the Isle of Innocence finished a futile hunt for an elusive parent by getting happily married to the Hon. Roland Fitzmaurice Montjoy of the First Life Guards (Lawrence D'Orsay). Charles A. Bigelow. who has appeared in Miss Held's productions for some years, provoked much laughter and applause in the role of Ezra Pettlngill, the greatest detective on earth, who was engaged in a quest for Miss Innocence's elusive parent, which resulted in the finding of the right daughter but the wrong parents. • • » The Blue Mouse scampered
down to the front of the stage in the Lyric Theatre last Monday night, hopped over the footlights and jumped straight into the good will of the whole audience. That tells the whole story of how Clyde Fitch's comely, done over for American use from the German of Messrs. Alexander Engle and Julius Horst. was receive 1 on its first presentation to New York playgoers. Mabel Barrison. as Paulette Divine. the Blue Mouse, had much to say about her temperament, for a lot of the success of the comedy was due to that same lively temperament displayed in her aiding. Harry Conor as Lewellyn and Jameson Lee Finney as his secretary, Augustus Rollett, were Miss Harrison's principal aids In making The Blue Mouse a go. and Zelda Sears as Lewellyn's wife and Charles Dickson as Wallus helped a lot in keeping the audience laughing. • • « With a double bill. Cavalleria Rusticana and I Carbunara (The Coal Dealer!, the Sicilian Players began the second week of their engagement In the Broadway Theatre last Monday night. There were many Italians in the large audience and they showed their appreciation of the work of the players witli repeated curtain calls and shouts of Bravo at the end of each act. In the presentation of Cavalleria Rusticana the Sicilians gave the audience an opportunity to compare their work with that of others in a play based upon the well known story-. And the Sicilians lost nothing by comparison. The work of Mme. Aguglia as Santuzza. Salvatore Lo Turco as Turiddu and Toto Majorana as Alfio was exceptionally strong. Santuzza's entreaty to Turiddu to remain with her was a great bit of acting. I Carbunara is a Sicilian tragedy that could have had its scenes laid in no other land. Matteo, a wealthy coal dealer, believes that Bastlano. a former sweetheart of his wife, Anna, lias attempted to make love to her, and he kills him in a duel with hatchets. He then learns from Anna that it is his brother who is the guilty one. As he leaves for the mountain Matteo warns his mother never to let bis brother cross his path. In this play anger and hatred are depicted in a manner that can hardly be realized by people of a colder clime. The display of the elemental passions was heartily applauded, not alone by the compatriots of the players, but by the entire audience. • • • After an absence of ten years from the stage of the Casino, where she used to make merry with Francis Wilson. Lulu Glaser last week returned to that theatre in Mile. Mischief, the musical comedy in which she has been appearing for several weeks in the Lyric Theatre. Miss Glaser last appeared at the Casino with Francis Wilson in 1S99 in the revival of Erminie. and since then her appearances in New York have been at other theatres. The play last night was received with the same favor that has marked its run at the Lyric. Prominent in Miss Glaser's company are Messrs. Robert 1 lempster, Roy Atwell, W. P. Carleton. Frank Farrington. Misses Gertrude Darrell and Ethel Intropndi. • • • Dorando. winner of the world's champion twentvsix-mile race at the Madison Square Garden, and John J. Hayes, winner of the Marathon race at London, met last night on the stage at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre, and a challenge was given by the Italian and accepted by the American for another race to be run shortly. Dorando appeared as an attraction on the bill, and he got a good send-off. although not any heartier than did Hayes when his presence was discovered in a box. Dorando's performance consisted principally of a monologue by Lonev Haskell. « • » Divorce, the drama of the domestic relation In which Paul Bourget. the French playwright, has made such a strong protest against the dissolution of the marriage tie. received its first presentation in Washington last week. It marked the first appearance here of Marion Terry, a sister of Ellen Terry. Vincent Serrano, who was for some years in the diplomatic service here, has a strong part. Others in the cast were Ida Conquest, Kben Plvmpton and John Glendinning. • • • At the Metropolitan Opera House the always popular Madame Butterfly of Mr. Puccini, was given last Monday night. Instead of Caruso, who was the Lieutenant Pinkerton of the first performance Riccaro Martin sang with Geraldine Farrar in the title role. It was a fine performance all through, the American tenor repeating his success of last season and Miss Farrar pouring out the full beauty of her voice and acting witli her usual dramatic force. The other singers were the same as at the former presentations of the opera this season. Mr. Seotti capitally filling the role of Consul Sharpless, while Miss Fornia (Rita Newman of San Francisco) was the Suzuki. There was much applause and many curtain calls from a brilliant audience. * * * * Samson et Dal i la was repeated last Monday night in the Manhattan Opera House before a large and well pleased audience. Miss Gerville-Reache. Mr. Dalmores and Mr. Dufranne. in the chief parts, were again heartily applauded for their excellent singing, and the spectacular features of Saint-Saens' opera, as ballets and processions were as effective as usual. There was a large and fashionable audience at the performance. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Egerton Webb, the latter in green satin covered with iridescent greenish blue spangled net, had as their guests in one of the balcony boxes Mrs. Herbert Shipman. who was In an Empire gown of rose pink satin combined with white lace and embroidered in silver roses. • • • Negotiations are pending between Wagenhals & Kemper and J. C. Williamson, the Australian theatrical manager, whereby Annie Russell and her company, now plaving in The Stronger Sex at Weber's Theatre, will go to Australia in May. Daniel Frohman announces t hat Blanche Bates and Charles Richman will appear in the one-act comedy. A Happy Pair, at the Actors' Fund Benefit at the Broadway Theatre on Friday. December 11. Claude Gillingwater. who was leading man with Fritzi Seheff in Mile. Modiste last season, opened last week at Keith & Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre in his sketch. The Wrong Man. and was well received. Two large audiences applauded Vesta Victoria when she appeared at the Lincoln Square
Theatre last Monday in several new songs. Se\eral new circus acts which Shubert & Anderson recently brought from Europe, were presente 1 for the first time in this country at the Hippodrome Monday afternoon. ROB ROY.

San Bernardino, C al.. I iec. 8. — Louis James in Peer Gynt appeared at the Opera House (Mrs. M. L. Kiplinger. mgr.). Dec. 4. and as Mr. James is an especial favorite here, was greeted with a full house; of course everybody must see this play, so as to know what an Ibsen come ly is; but the general remarks of the theatregoing public would Indicate that, after witnessing the production, the thought uppermost in the mind of most people Is, what was it all about? And after they have thought about it a while, then they really do begin to appreciate it. The scenic part of the production was complete and elaborate, and the conception of the various parts was good. But the truth remains that to appreciate Peer Gynt. one should have a prior education, or coaching at least, in Norwegian folk-lore. Just Out of College. 7, drew another crowded house, and there was no question about the audience thoroughly understanding and appreciating that, for it is as replete with wholesome fun as a nut with meat. This was the initial George Ade production in this city, and the universal expressions of satisfaction bespeak crowded houses for any other ebullitions of the same author that may stray this wav. Coming. 11. James Corbett. in Facing the Music. J. E. RICH.
San Diego. -Garrick Theatre (Morosco & Wyatt. lessees: J. M. Dodge, mgr.) — Dec. 4-5.

There are really more good songs in the Alaskan than two ordinary musical comedies now-a-days. The chorus is pretty and shapely, and the costumes and scenery rich, novel and beautiful. Taken as a whole, the Alaskan is one of the best attractions we have had this season. 6-7, James J. Corbett. in Facing the Music, did fair business. The performance is a scream from start to finish, and the company is a good one. 8. Maude Powel Trio, in recital; 10, Geo. Ade's Just Out of College; 13, Hans and Nix. Pickwick Theatre (Scott A.
