nightwatchman retiring from his beat ou Saturday morning at 5 oclock saw solitary figure mount the Theatre steps and take up a position before the bo x office window It was Clem Hors = I ley installing himself as first applicant for Mikado uckets and in his pocket were orders from all the swell first nighters who occupy the stalls and choice seats on notable occasions Shortly befere 7 oclocka soldier in the uniform of his country rose up to the Theatre dismounted and dashed up the steps only to find the first place occupied occu-pied He made second in the line however how-ever and congratulated himself on its being no worse From 730 on the arrivals ar-rivals were frequent and Jack White one of the Mikado principals who strolled down at 830 to get his tolks some good seats was lorced to take a place dn the line so far distant that he could hardly catch sight of the window It was 1130 when he obtained his seats and he had to take them then near the orchestra Vhen the window finally opened at 10 oclock the number of people in front was the heaviest which has ever yet been in waiting for seats to any performance per-formance The first few in the line bought all the way from ten to forty tickets and they were not speculators either a good many turned on being unable to obtain the stats they desired and had the amateurs been fortunate enough to secure Wednesday evening there is no question but that there would have been an active sale for that night as well All the dow stairs seats for Monday were closed out by 3 oclock pm and but a few now remain for Tuesda as an extra supply of chairs will be put in however pur chasers can btill obtain places tomorrow to-morrow The matinee beats also sold well though with nothing of the rush that attended the night sales Financial success is thus assured the company and everyone will be pleased to note the response witn which their very ambitious am-bitious efforts have thus far been greeted li the opera goes with that smoothness smooth-ness and care which should attend it there is no question but that it can be played several times more to large houses The ability of the principals the strength and beauty of the chorus the mcgmficence of the costumes and the unique get up of the properties and scenery all point to such a sensation sensa-tion as has not been enacted since the advent of Pinafore Tasteful

called one of the notable attractions of the season Janauschek has been here once before and sustained i sus-tained several parts but probably the piece in which she will best be remembered remem-bered is Bleak House in which she sustained so admirable the dual creations crea-tions of Hortense and Lady Dedlock Bleak House is not included in her reportory this season but she has in its place a drama in which her impersonations impers-onations have excited even more comment com-ment My Life In this she also fills a dual role appearing both as a venerable vener-able woman of 70 years and as the young herione of the play Chaplin Alex Stuart and James Carden are the principals in the male support and the ladies we are assured have been selected by the Madame herself with a special view to her own needs There is probably today no actress on the American stage who in the higher walks of dramatic art approaches ap-proaches this gifted and accomplished artiste Bern to the purple of the stage as it were her life has been a constant succession of professional triumph a din d-in the most difficult and arduous line of professional laborthat of the tragedienne tragedi-enne But Janauscheks successes have not been confined to tragedy alone Thoroughly schooled in all the branches of professfonal knowledge trained and educated in every grade of dramatic life gifted with a genius peculiarly adapted to the interpretation of characters charac-ters however complex and a thorough and accomplished mistress of all the requirements re-quirements of the stage Janauschek has maintained a foremost place among living actresses and has never lost her favor among that large class of American Ameri-can theatregoers for whom the profound pro-found and subtle art of acting 11 as
