...dramatization of Paul M. Potter. This is the first time that any attempt has been made to introduce "Trilby" on the stage and the outcome will be awaited with interest The atmosphere of the Latin quarter pervades the whole of the first two acts. The third act shows a scene in Drury Lane Theatre, with a distant view of the stage, where may be seen Trilby and the orchestra leader. The tumult aroused by her failure to sing and the subsequent death of Svengali end this act. The fourth act depicts the tragic death of Trilby...
...most magnificent nature. This is the joint work of Brander Matthews and George Jessop and is numbered among the most legitimate of Mr. Goodwin's successes, and it is rarely that a more pleasing comedy is presented. It is at once clean, wholesome, pathetic and merry, without a dull scene in it. The plot is well sustained throughout, and culminates joyously, enlisting the fine sympathies of one's nature and sends the audience away with a sense of keen and clean delight. "In Mizzoura" is well known, having been produced more recently than "The Gold Mine," and those who remember...

It is questionable if that always funny comedian, James T. Powers, has ever had a character more suited to his inimitable fun making faculties, nor has he ever portrayed one in Boston in which he has scored a more pronounced success. Others in the cast include Frederic Robinson...
...attack of the Indians could be plainly heard, yet not an Indian was in sight, but the excitement was even greater than if they had been. In this revival of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" Manager Charles Frohman has introduced some changes. The party in the scene mentioned, now arrive on thoroughbred horses, who dash upon the stage, thus adding a most thrilling piece of realism to the already exciting scene. Mr. Frohman's company is most carefully selected and admirably fitted to this grand spectacular production, and many of the artists who were seen at the Columbia will...
