Mr. Robert Mantell, who la now theforemost exponent of the romantic dramaIn this country, will play at the GrandOpera House the latter part of this week,after an absence of several years. Mantellis a forcible and intelligent actor, of astrikingly attractive personal appearance,and since the day when, then almost un-known,- he made such a hit as LorIs in FannyDavenport's production of Fedora," hisfame and popularity have steadily in-

creased. He win appear here In three plays,all of which are entirely new in this city.

Thursday evening and at the Saturdaymatinee he will present the picturesqueheroic drama "Monbars," by D'Knnery.author of "Two Orphans" and "A Cele-brated . Case." This play, which hasachieved a most remarkable success, hasquite a history attached to it. It wasoriginally written by Frederick LemaltreIn 1S43. Lemaltre, who Is only known to usby the many brilliant successes he achievedin France during his short career, wasrecognized as the most finished actor ofhis time, and in romantic roles was un-eurpassl-

great. Mr. Mantell's adapta-tion of St. Tropez, which is now knownunder .the title of "Monbars," differs con-siderably from the original. Louis Nathal,who adapted the play, altered the situa-tions to suit American audiences and intro-duced several novelties that have addedlargely to Its success. The cauterizing ofthe wound in the first act suggested itselfto Mr. Xathal from a . scene in Victor

. Hugo's "Les Mlserables" and Dumas's"Salvator." The duel in the last act, aboutwhich several critics have agreed to dis- -,

agree, finds its counterpart la Sir WalterScott's "Ivanhoe." "Monbars" has achieved

. a decided success in this country, and butfew plays adapted from the French haveafforded theater-goer- s more genuine pleas-4-ur- e.

On Friday night Mr. Mantell willgive the production in this city of "Parr-hasius." The story of this play is wovenabout the life of Parrhasius, one ofthe greatest painters of ancient

Empire Theater.Rice & Barton's Comedians always pro-

vide an entertainment that the audienceechoes with hearty laughter. There is nota serious second in their performance. Allof the comedians of the combination partic-ipate in the rendition of the comedy "Raz-zl- e

The Cnrletons Coming.The Carleton Opera Company will appear

at English's Opera House for the entireweek, beginning Monday, Nov. 20,1 at popu-lar prices, which, owing to the, financialstringency of the day, has been adoptedand Is within the reach of all. Notwith-standing this, the same grade of excellencewhich has in previous seasons character-ized the Carleton Opera Company produc-tions will still be maintained. The presen-tation of a dollar-and-a-ha- lf performanceat a popular scale of prices is a novelty.Mfc W. T. Carleton as a male operatic starhas been steadily successful in the UnitedStates, the present being his tenth seasonas a star before the public, and his namewill always have an honored place in theannals of light opera. He retains his pow-ers wonderfully, and sings with all theclearness, freshness and strength that firstmade him famous. As usual he is supportedby a strong company. There will beWednesday and Saturday matinees. . j

ular production, "The Spider and the Fly,"is announced for English's next Saturdaynlsht, when it will be presented by thesamo company that has just closed a four-teen weeks' engagement in Chicago. . Thepiece has a little of everything in it ex-cept tragedy, and H made entertaining bypretty scenery, transformations, ballotsand the introduction of specialties. Thereare fifty people in the company.

Miss' Anna Moore, a well-know- n younglady of this city, Is with the "Devil's Auc-tion" company, which plays at English'sto-morr- ow night, and is credited with hav-ing made a hit in the part of Prince F6r-tun- o.

The route of a theatrical company is aninteresting geographical study. "A NutmegMatch," which began its tour last Augustin Hoboken, has already touched the Pacificcoast, and is now on its transcontinental re-

turn, booked to reach New York Dec. 4.

It h?s been understood for several yearsthat Beerbohm Tree, the London actorwhose fame is at least known to someAmericans, meant to come over for ourdollars as soon as he gdt a play to be de-pended on, and now he says he has foundtha right thing In Jones's "The Tempter,"which he will bring to us next season.

"Olaf," the romantic play which was pro-duced at Niblo's, in New York, last Mon-day night, is In five acts, special scenery forwhich was Imported from Europe. Thecostumes, too, were all made In Berlin. Theprincipal roles were played by Minnie

Ellen Burg, T. B. Thalberg,Charles B. Han ford and George Fawcett.

Four members of the "Railroad Ticket"company had the pleasure of taking a spe-cial train from Kansas City to Omaha last

week, owing to the negligence of the clerkof the Centropolis Hotel, Kansas City, innot calling them at the requested hour.The unfortunates were Anna Caldwell,Jeanette Begeard, Harry Porter and HarryBlaney. The cost of the special wa3 only$250.

That excellent actor, Mr. Felix Morris,who for veara has been the leading come-dian of the Rosina Vokes company, willplay his first engagement in this city as astar at the Grand Opera House the firstpart of next week. At each performancehe will give three short pieces, the reper-toire including "The Old Musician." "TheMajor" (new), "Cousin Je," "Mores" (new),"The Rose" (new) and "The Vagabond"(new.) Mr.. Morris's starring tour has beenvery successful thus far.

"A London (England) letter of a recentdate says: "Several exceptionally interest-ing cases will be tried during the currentcourt session. Two of them are connectedwith the settlement of "Squire' Abington'sestate, in which Mrs. Langtry will claiman interest of 16,1)00. Another is the di-

George Thatcher, who for many yearswas a prime favorite in negro minstrel per-formances, Pbout three years ago conceiveda new style of entertainment, which hecalled "Tuxedo," in which the features ofminstrelsy and farce-ccmed- y are presented.This year Mr. Thatcher has produced astrange stvle of entertainment entitled"Africa." in this production there are themore taking features of farce-comed- y,

negro minstrelsy, burlesque and extrava-ganza. "Africa" will be seen In Indianap-olis in a short time.

Messrs. Dickson & Talbott have made anengagement of unusual Interest in that ofthe W. T. Carleton Opera Company, whichhas recently been reorganized, for En-glish's for an entire week, beginning Mon-day, the 20th inst. The company includesa number of well-know- n singers, a largeand well-drille- d chorus, and carries a com-plete scenic investment for all the operas.The repertoire will include "Nanon." "Bo-hemian Girl," "Fra Diavolo," "Chimes ofNormandv" and other popular works. Mr.Carleton "is to make a departure in thisengagement on account of the prevalentconditions, and the prices of seats will belower than ever before here for opera wellpresented. He himself will sing at everyperformance.

Prof. Herrmann's pretty wife has startedin as a dancer, and the New York Heraldsaid last week: "Mme. Herrmann madeher Brooklyn debut last night as a skirtdancer in the Park Theater, which waswell filled. She gave the serpentine, thebutterfly and the la blanche dances. As adancer she Is not a great success. She isnot light enough on her feet and lackssomewhat In grace of movement. She willdraw, however. She has most magnificentcostumes and can handle them well, and,with the aid of ten colored calcium lights,the effect of the harmonizing of color isdelightful. The movement of the skirts inthe butterfly dance and the magnificenteffect of color in la blanche dance arousedthe audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm.In the latter dance Mme. Herrmann wasr.ot only encored, but showered with roses."

New York Herald: Last Sunday theHerald published the fact that a greatnumber of actors and actresses, more thanthree thousand of them, were idle in NewYork. Careful and extended inouiry re-

veals the additional fact that there is ahitherto unheard of degree of destitutionamong the players. The Actors' Fund andthe Actors' Order of Friendship have neverbefore been anything like so busy In thedistribution ol assistance to those whohave the right to call upon them. Underruch conditions all rules change, even theone that applies to the salary questionamong actors. A well-know- n dramaticagent said to me the ether day: "It issimply terrible.

Young Joseph K. Emmet has been verybusy during the week receiving legal pa-pers in a divorce suit brought by his wife.The couple were estranged a couple ofyears ago, Mrs. Emmet living in Switzer-land and supported handsomely by her hus-band. She returned to New York threeweeks ago and immediately began proceed-ings, although Air. Emmet, in every pos-sible way, tried to compromise the suit.During Mrs. Emmet's residence abroad she ithas received $8,030, but still she had Mr;Emmet arrested for abandonment. A tem-porary settlement was made on Sunday,however, . before Justice Koch, who fixedthe amount to be paid Mrs. Emmet eachweek at $10. When it was all over lawyerIMmond Price, who acted for Mr. Emmet,asked the court if he might give Mrs. Em-met a trifling amount for current expenses,and, on the court consenting, Mr3. Emmet,who had her little daughter with her, washanded three one - hundred - dollar bills.Young Emmet at once left Nev York forCincinnati, Mr. Harry C. Miner becominghis bondsman.

OVERGROWN GIRLS.They Suffer from Eiubarrnnsmcnii

Not Realized ty Their Killers.New York Ledger.

I think that one of the greatest misfor-tunes of early life is to be developed andgrown beyond one's years," said one of thenoble women of the present generation."When I was seventeen I had almost my isfull growth, and no one would believe thatI was under twenty. I had, of course, allthe tastes and fancies of a girl, and wasexpected to appear and carry myself like agrown prrson. I remember very well howuncomfortable I used to be, and how manytears I shsd because I never seemed to beor do just the thing that was expected ofme. 'Poor Kittle. She is so childish,' wastha continual cry. when. as a mat-ter of fact, I was nothing mqre than achild save in appearance.

I think it is the cause of a. great deal ofdiscouragement to girls to grow faster thantheir years. With boys it seems different.They are romping and playing outside, andattract lees attention in ths home circle.Girls are alway3 around, and the moremature they seem to be the more they areexpected to . assume certain responsibili-ties. Among my mates was a girl of aboutmy own ase, who was exceedingly smallfor her years. No one ever dreamed of Aasking Aggie to do things, and no one ex-pected her to know things, and yet shewas a trifle my senior.

"I think quite a3 much was demanded ofme as though I were twenty years old. Ihad lived quietly, had little knowledge ofthe world and no experience. I did foolishand chlUllsh things, and was found faultwith until my heart was bitterly sore. Itwould be difficult to imagine a more un-happy child than I was, and all because Iwa3 developed far beyond my years. Ifpeople would only realize that a chl'i isnot to be judged by appearances, but by itsactual age and experiences and opportuni-ties for observation, it might be spared agreat deal of embarrassment and theacutest kind of mental suffering."

CHILDREN'S FASHIONS.

Simplicity No Longer the Rule if Mo-

distes Have Their Way.

New York Times.Nothing except the children themselves

could be as pretty as the children's clothes..Every costly fabric, every expensive trim-ming, every fad, fancy and folly of theirmamma's is theirs as well.

The mothers who approve of simple attirefor their children must themsslves do thefashioning of such attire. They will not find

provided for them ready made, and mod--'

istes, if left to their own discretion, as-suredly will not turn out anything lesselaborate than the shops offer. Altogether,tho children, as in previous seasons, seemdestined to be mad 9 miniature copies oftheir mammas, even to the most absurddetail. The only comfort is that New Yorkchildren are so chic that there is no spoil-ing them with any amount of flnery. Theytake to finery naturally, and the more likelittle grown-u- p people they are made tolook the more bewitching they become.

A feature of children's coats this year,which differs somewhat from anythingworn by women, is the wide-cap- e collar-ette, turned down from the neck and having no collar above it. This style of neck ,

finish Is more convenient for wear with thehood bonnets than a standing collar orruche would be, as the cape of the bonnet

not interfered with. Scarlet cioth withblack trimmings is ussd considerably forchildren's wraps. A dark blue beaver,trimmed in jet and.krimmer fur, and linedwith gray and blue sxioc taiieta, had thfcWatteau back attached to a short roundyoke. The cape collarette Is sewed on in aseam around the neck, and turned over,setting smcothly on tha shoulders and com-ing well uown upon the tops of the sleeves.In some coats ot this kind trie front mutch-es the bad;; in others the front is halflitting. and crossed trom the unaeriirmseams at the waist by a girdle matching thetrimmlm. say of braid or jet, or by a beltof fur. or a three-inc-n ribtton the color ofthe cloth, tied iu long loops and ends, andmatched by the ribbon on hat or hood.

.fc.xnuisite velvet hoods are shown, havingthe ricn tints of the velvet enhanced bythe gathered tolds and contrasted bythe tur border that runs around the face,outlines the crown and finishes the cape.

white velvet hood is finished in seal,one or pink velvet in squirrel, and erminetrims a third that is of a deep, warm fear-ne- t.

These hood bonnets are exclusivelythe children's possession, and one whlcnwomen have reason to envy them when thewinds blow cold.

A striking little dress, made for a bru-nette of seven years, is of black crepon.The skirt is accordion-plaite- d, and accordion-

-plaited llchu breteilea narrow to thewaist line, front and back, from broad,graceful shoulder caps. A gamp of yellowmoire, printed in tiny black naif moons,like jet spangles, is draped with jet, butnot so heavily, as to give the gown anoverloaded appearance, or to hide thefiguring of the silk. The crescents on thesilk are accentuated by occasional cres-cent spangles in the jet fringe. The sleevesof the gamp are made In a full puff above

ruffle, beneath which a fringe of jetfalls over the white, dimpled elbow.

Yellow silk hose and ellow satin slippersare spangled with the wafer crescents ofjet. This costume, aa pretty as it is fan-tastic, was worn by the little hostess of aHallowe'en party, the invitations to whichwere sent out on brimstone paper, printedin heavy blacic lettering of the most artist-ically obscure'eharacters and having a trioof black imps dancing around a witches'fire.

A pretty and serviceable dress for a girlof ten 13 of gray and blue basket wool, tvery fine, close braid. The waist is madewith a round yoke covered with black ser-pentine braid set In close rows followingthe shape of the yoke. The glgot sleeveshave deep, rounded cuffs of the glose braid-ing. The yoke is finished by a plain, cir-cular bertha, slashed front and back and onthe shoulders. This, like the yoke, is cov-ered with the black braid. Beneath thebertha the waist Is fulled to the yoke, andthe fullness gathered' under a straight belt,below which is a short circular basque,both basque and belt being braided.

The skirt is a half circle attached to ayoke, the seam hidden under three rows ofinch-wid- e serpentine braid. The braid usedon the bodice is quarter-inc- h width. Thewai3t is fastened in the back. The ckirt laoome three yards wide, and comes but little -

fitted to the outside. This is so much morecomfortable for any one, big or little, thanthe foundation skirt that if women may notretain it for themselves they should try tokeep it for their girls. The comfortablelength of the average skirt for girls is tobe commended. With the exception of thefew fancy Empire dresses, children's skirtsnever reach far below the knee sometimeshalf way to the tops of high shoes. Oldergirls wear skirts of ankle length. Fromthree to four yards is the usual width.

In former seasons though the bodices andsleeves of children's dresses were fashionedin exact imitation of women's, yet the usualskirt for girls' gowns was the straight fullskirt with a broad hem, or with a row ofbraid or vine stitching. This skirt wasused often on dresses for girls in their teens,and except for the short French skirt, whoseballet-gi- rl style was emphasized by flaringruffles, was the prevailing skirt for chil-dren. Now, however, every skirt used forwomen's dresses is duplicated on children'sfrocks.

The old straight skirt, unless accordionplaited, is used only occasionally. The half-circ- le

skirt, with or without yoke, the skirtwith godet plaits at the bick, and all theskirts employed for women's gown3, arelaid hold upon unhesitatingly for the littlegirls. However much the simplicity of theold skirt may be regretted and it will beregretted seriously by hou?e dressmakersthere can be no question that it was out otplace with the elaborate bodices and sleeves.Flaring berthas and britelles, collarettesand epaulcfc, big sleeves, jaunty jacketsand circular basques, look decidedly betterover skirts of their own species.

Half the charm of the very charming partydresses of flowered silks is in the cute littleflaring skirts in which the children look sofairy-lik- e. Accordion-plaJte- d embroideredchiffon made a dainty frock for a tinyblonde with long curls. The . chiffon waswhite, the embroidery in silk was a borderfinishing all the edges of pink mors rose-buds with green leaves. The under dresswhich rose above the low, round neck in agamp, was of pale green silk.
