it 6 CHARLOTTE NEWS, SEPTEMBER 13. 1902. ! TEXTILE NOTES. 30 1 i i The Wek In The PlayhoMses p lays and Jr layers no t e s F T H E Theatrical World 1 i f I I I One of the leading novelties in the musical comedy field this season, and one which has been meeting with re markable success, are Murry and Mack, in their latest musical gayety, A" Night on Broadway," which will be presented at Latta Park auditorium tonight. It is a musical comedjr of the up-to-date fashion. It has a variety of char acters, some of which are new to the I1 corned' field. The fun is said to be fast and furious, the lines are bright, spark ling, and bubbling over with genuine humor, and the people who help to make the skit a success number some of the prettiest, dantiest, and talented women on the American stage. The style of entertainment offered by Mur ray and Mack has no rival in Irish comedy. There is no deep-thinking plot, no special reason for the things said and done in "A Night on Broad Way," but it is funny, and that is what the public demands, and somehow, it pleases. Perhaps because there is so much of the serious in life that we , wel come this divertisement and like it. Murry and Mack have never done any thing by halves. Their company is al ways a good one. and invariably dress ed superbly. This ' year extravagant claims have been advanced as to the production from every point. Elaborate and massive sets are carried for each act, which is quite out of the ordinary for this class of amusement. The cos tumes are more varied and attractive than ever before. The company is near ly twice its usual size, and-includes the names of those prominent in comedy performances, while the music is of a bright and catchy order, and readily appeals to the public ear. X Mr. John W. Avery, dramatic editor of the Richmond Dispatch says: Mrs. Brune has been chosen as the opening attraction for the new theatre in Charlotte, N. C. This house will be ready on Monday, September 29th. The play in which this star will appear, in this city, as well as in Charlotte, is "Unorna," a dramatization by F. Ma rion Crawford and Epsy Williams, cf Crawford's novel of the same name. The production will be very elaborate and complete in every detail. 7 -t - W. 9 i iipin ium l I i ill 1 1 l li 1 1 i i VIOLA ALLEN AS ROMA IN "THE ETERNAL CITY." It is said that the dramatized version of Hall Caine's novel "The Eternal City," in which Viola Allen is to star this season, is the most daring play from the religious point of view which has ever been put on the American stage. Those who have read the book will remember that in the story a pope is the father of the hero. Having been in London now for over three years, having made a con siderable English reputation and scored one big success, Gertrude El liott is planning to revisit her own country to show her old friends how much she has improved and convince them that she has weightier claims to esteem than that of being Maxine Elliott's younger sister. "Next year," Miss Elliott writes, "we hope to go to America." The "we" refers to Forbes Robertson, the con scientious and brilliant English actor who now has the honor of being Ger trude Elliott's husband and whose leading woman she is. Miss Elliott joined Robertson's company shortly after her first success in England, and their marriage soon followed. Together they have scoretl the big London success of the year, for their acting of the two chief parts Mrs. Ryley's comedy, "Mice and Men,'' has sent the play well past its 200th per formance, and the end is not yet in Bight. , "We expect," continues Miss Elliott, "to go on playing 'Mice and Men' at the Lyric until they tire of it, and then to produce another play, the name of which I may not tell you." Rumor, however, says that the new piece is another by the author of "An American Citizen," written in a simi lar vein, and it's to be wished that the last is true, for Mrs. Byley's recent Frenchy farce. "The Grass Widow,," was a bad business. Charles Frohman's having bought for Annie Russell's use the American rights of "Mice and Men" will prevent American theater-goers from seeing Gertrude Elliott in her quaint part of the foundling girl whom Mark Em-"-bury trains up to marry him and who actually marries his handsome nephew. This will be the second part originally "created'' by Miss Elliott that Annie Russell has played in America the first being that cf the Princess in "A Royal Family." Miss Elliott's only histronic effort in this country that has not beeri entirely successful was her recent essay at flaying Ophelia to her husband's Ham let, which is regarded by many as the best on the English stage. . Evidently Sarah Bernhardt has de cided to accept some slighter remun eration than "Alsace and Lorraine" for a season in Germany, for it is re ported in Berlin that the French ac tress will soon appear at the royal court. Rehearsals for the approaching London production of Carrie's "Quali ty Street," in which Seymour Hicks and Ellaline Terriss are to be seen, began this week at the Vaudeville. Mrs. Langtry's play, "Mile.- Mars," was written by an American, Paul Kester, the author of Julia Marlowe's dramatization of "When Knighthood Was in Flower." It tells a storv of the youth of Napoleon, whose impecuni osit'y was relieved by Mile. Mars, an actress. Toward the end of the play her lover is about to be beheaded and is saved only when Mile. Mars goes to Napoleon and reminds him that he is under an obligation to her. Stuart Robson's tour this season will be one of the most extensive ever undertaken by the veteran comedian, but that makes no difference to Mr. Robson, who has always appeared to stand the rigors and fatigue of travel better than many of the members of his support. He will play this year his famous character of Bertie the Lamb in "The Henrietta'' and the role- of the Dromio of Syracuse in "The Comedy of Errors." His com pany is rehearsing at Mr. Robson's summer home, Water Witch, High lands of Navesink, New York Harbor an ideal spot as compared with the unfortunate actors who are-compelled to learn their parts in the hot and stuffy halls of the city. ' ' John Drew's annual engagement at the Empire Theater, New York, opened Thursday evening, September 4, as Isaac Henderson in "The Mummy and the Humming Bird." This is Mr. Drew's eleventh season under Charles Frohman's management. It is rumored that a $100,000 cotton mill will be built at Marshall, N. C, and that $75,000 of the capital will be furnished by Northern capitalists. Tlie Andrews Loom, Reed & Har ness Co. of Spartanburg, S. C, is in stalling an 80-horse-power boiler ad ditional in its plant. This improve ment is necessitated by the increas ing demands of the cotton mill trade. McColl Manufacturing Co. of Mc Coll, S. C, has given notice of its in tention to increase capital stock from $200,000 to $230,000, and probably in tends adding new machinery. It now operates 15,000 ring spindles on hos iery yarn. Brenham Cotton Mills of Brenham, Texas, mentioned several times re cently, has let contract to W. A. Grifiin at $S,S95 for construction of its main building. As has been previously announced, the plant Avill have 5,000 spindles and 100 looms; capital is $100,000. It is reported that the Griffin Manu facturing Co. of Griffin, Ga., will double its plant. It has an equipment of 16,000 ring spindles and 600 looms at present, operating by steam-power, and it is said the improvements con template the substitution of elec tricity for steam-power. It is reported that Philadelphia cap italists are negotiating for the Cuth bert (Ga.) Cotton Mills, with the pur pose of putting the plant in modern condition and operating it. It is also stated that local and outside capital proposes establishing a plant for the production of underwear. It is reported that Muscogee Manu facturing Co. of Columbus, Ga., has decided upon the construction of an additional mill at an expenditure of $130,000. The company at present has 16,000 spindles and 500' looms, dyes its own product, uses electric and water power, and has a capital of $157,500. Ashcraft Cotton Mills of Florence, Ala., has completed the installation of its dyeing plant, which will treat the product of fifty looms at the start. This will be increased later on. The company has also completed the ad dition of a square-bale cotton com press to its round-bale compressing plant! Messrs. Wm. H. Kimball, Wm. C. Kimball and Leora Kimball have in corporated the Kimball Knitting Co. at Tallapoosa, Ga., and placed the cap ital stock at. $20,000, with privilege of increasing to $100,000 if desired. This company succeeds Messrs. W. C. Kim ball & Co., operating eight knitting machines, sixteen cylinders, etc., in the manufacture of ribbed hosiery. Anderson (S. C.) Water, Light and Power Co. has about completed its new dam, and next week the Ander son Cotton Mills will resume opera tions at full capacity. This mill's ma chinery has been partially idle since last January, when the formers dam was destroyed by floods. About half the machinery has since been running by steam-power. It is a 61,000-spindle and 1864-loom plant. A dispatch from Huntsville, Ala., states that during the past ten days some of the largest mill-owners in the country have visited Huntsville and took pai't in the discussion concern ing the proposed merger of about sixty Southern cotton1 mills. Nothing definite will be given out, but it is understood that these mills will be combined and successfully under written within the next month. Thir teen of the mills which are said to have agreed to enter the merger are ill Alabama, seven of these being in Huntsville. This includes all of Hunts ville mills here except the Dallas and Merrimack. A RAGING, ROARING FLOOD. Washed down a telegraph line which Chas. C. Ellis, of Lisbon, la., had to repair.
