ASHEVILLE GAZETTE, SUNDAY MORNING," DECEMBER 26, 1897. 'X'.. THE v VI t 4 V J, H PLAYS AND PLAYERS, V ' x' The Grind's Christmas Tree is 5 Well Laden With Good Attractions. Christmas week Is full of "good things" of -tihe thfcaatrical nature, at the Grand first cornea that brilliant exposition, of the ultra farcial side of life, Frohanan's Never Again-,"- as It was produced for - ihe entire of last season at Whe Garrick I "Theatre, New York. The company pre- s sentjng it is said to toe a most capable one ' and it is said it "funny side is even more laughable than .that shown toy "A Staunger in New' York." whiohi S played here last week. "Never Again" had an unprecedented fun at the Garrick, extending over three hundred nights. Late in the season Mr. ' Frohiman sent it over to Chicago where it packed Hooley's theatre every night for ten weeks, and was (reluctantly returned to New York at tihe beginning of this season for the purpose of organizing a company far London. . " It is described as "a riot of laughter which yielded Uo bright, brisk and rapid action and the intelligent fun that nlat uraly arises from circumstances dealing with the humor one side of life. To see "Never Again" is to (laugh and forget the cares of life. A score of well drawn char acters make the play a story clearly told, with a hunch of amusing fiction deftly interjected in colors which ' contrast wit tily. The advance sale of tickets indicate a house simiiiar to 'tfliat which witnessed Hoyt's new production. Following "Never Agin is the Miller- Sisson-Wallace combination, a refined and .chaste attraction which comes Wednesday such - as the readers of the work a would expect She bias 'given a new impetus to the workJ and "Carmen". is presented by ,her v with all -the surroundings necessary to faithfully place the-1 Spefaish beauty be fore the -public in' a proper and adequate maner. (.,." The law of heredity was never ; better "ex emplifled than in the case of Rosabel Mor rison. She -bas inherited the wonderful dramatic vogOr which has made her father Lewis- Morrison, t famous: She . has that one dndescrJable spark , of genius and mag netism, without which it is impossible to mount the lader of fame. No tonount of talent or ability can carry the dramatic artist to' success without- this ; spark , of genius. In 'KJarmen" "Miss Morr'son has found. a part' so thorughiy congenial to her that she has achieved success with hut lititle effort H ... 'It i exactly'' : opposite to "Marguericte" in "Faust" . in which role she first became prominent. Her per fortmiance of "Carmen" has met "with the most fulsome praise In appearance she is peculiarly, adapted to the bewitching Spanish Gipsy, , and she pdays theJ charac ter with , that bewitching abandon and subleity that had march to do. with5 the original story by 'Prosper Merrimee. ,Her supporting company is exceptionally strong. Edward Eisner, one of the- very best of 'Jhe younger generation of .leading men plays "Don Jose." a Aw a scenic -jprO' dutetion this performance dls also a note Worthy, showing as it dogs, a view of Seville with the famous Glralda tower, (from which by--the by '. wis modelled the Madiswn, Square tower in New York), the "patio" of Lillian Pas'tia and the exterior of the built ring in Cordova.'

Not lon& after this, a scrofula sore appeared on ray left cheek extending from my wpper. lip to my eye! Other 8pres came, on my neck and on my right arni and oae of my limbs. They were very troublesome and painful and soon, became great running sores. My face looked so bad that some of my neighbors could not bear t took at me and advised me to wear a bandage, but I feared this would irritate tho sore and make it worse. So I ' Could Not Hldo tho Sores. My aiece, who was familiar with a case similar to minef which had been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it. Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in a short time I saw it was helping me. The sores began to heal and the neu ralgia in my head was better. In a few months the sores on my arms and HmHn all nealed; those on my neck gradually uisappearea ana now tcey are all gone. I have never had anysyniptoni of scrofula since.

AHhough the oomipany con sists of but three members, Manager Plum mer says he has no hesitation in guaran teeing the people their "anoney's worth" this night, as the success, these . artists have made in the past as individual stars, warrants that their associating will mean an- entertainment 'that will meet . with praise and success everywhere, s Mr. Miller 'through his earful study of the negro and hSs characteristics develop ed a sketch that 'has made his staunch re putation,, and given him imitators on. the -vUudevXIle stage, as well as the favorable endorsement of all the prominent critics and ' editors of this country. His part tf the entertainmen!t is not carried on en tirely as a del ineator of t he n egro. H e tells, in e.vening dress, many amusing stories of the different personages he has met in his tours. Oscar Sis son and Miss Ester Wallaee, his fair and pretty partner, have a high standing upon the legiitdamate stage where they have become recognized stars. As a center piece -to the entertainment they produce a one-act, farce comedy that is vareglated with many catchy songs and dances, (bits of dialogue h; t are witty to the point. Miss -Wallace has a strong and healthy mezzo-soprano voice tlhat is only xrae of the many charms the vivacious young comedienne possesses. . -STt has been arranged that a portion of the . Pceeds derived from this performance ; bex given as la benefit -to the ' Woman's - Guild of Trinity Parish), and any tickets purchased through the Guild may' be ex changed for; reserved seats on or before ;. the date of the attraction. ' . V Last but not. Jeast, oames "the play that has thilled two "conitinenits," Carmen and Rosabel Morrison are in the title . role! The play of 'Oarmen": has been anost admirably adapted by Theodore l Kremer "from one of the greatest ISterary efforts of the present century. Although ? nearly fifty, years have elapsed since It , eiUarted, flrstK Paris, and tthen ithe entire European continent, it still stands at She very head of romatic fiction, and Is now even more popular 'than ever. It was this . work that made its author, Prosper Mer rimee, famous, and enabled him -to reach that pinnacle to which every loyal French -r man : aspires fe. membership ; in the J Na- - tlonal Academy among '.tthe 'nimoirtal." The story of ,; ,Oairimen Is almost idyllic in i'ts 'simplicity, r yet the descrJptlona 'and even ts are so Intensely ' interesting; the Spanish gipsy - so vividly delineated, tlhat - the work has become a modern' olassie. - Many playwrights and i adaptors have ..taken this masterpiece for dramatic pur poses, but the most acceptable is that now being - presented by GRosabeV Morrison, , vvbo .has been said to fuly (realize the au , 'thor's creation,, Mise Morrison has pre- sented the atmosphere of the story and has tabued the !hajactik:'(tli-lIfe-jQd action gagecnent of the Lees, hypnotists, at the Grand . This attraction is new to the Soifth, but, without exception of any point yet visited by them, "they have been rec ord breakers" in drawing the people. In Richmond, Danville, Lynchburg and Petersburg, Va., and Raleigh, N. C, stand ing room has been the rule each night and matinees were given every day the latter part of the week to accommodate the crowds. They are booked here for the week of June 3. , . Francis Wilson should come to Ashe ville 'not only to let us get a peep at Mm in "Half a King," but to teach a lesson to some ipeople who disturb every one in their mad desire to get out before the cur tradn is down upon the last act. The in- dident that suggested !this, paragraph oc curred in New York last week, where, near -the end of the last scene, the usual rush, was made and' the-noise was so great that it was impossible to-hear what was being said on the stage. Suddenly Mr. Wilson stopped speakin- and the entire company stood there and quietly waited for a few minutes. Then fit slowly dawned upon the minds of the people that the ac tors were simply waiting for, those who wish to leave to do so. (Many embar rassed faces were observed when these thoughtless ones discovered that they, had stopped .tihe performance, and when Mr. Wilson began to speak Ithe final lines, it is said jtou could have heard a pin drop in that house. v This occurrence calls i to mind a similar one which came under some personal ob servation of tthe writer some years ago. A. good old exponent of the Methodist faith had concluded his sermon and was about to dismiss his nock with the usual blessing, ' when a large number ;of 'them began ito down their wraps and reaching for hats, hymnals," etc,' ,The parson raised: his hands then came a long, awkward pause followed Inrnmeddately by a death like silence, after which, he of the cloth, said:, "Just as soon as you are all ready to de part, we will conclude the services with the benediction." The lesson was an effectual one. A ' . The New York Dramatic Mirror says .in' reply to an inquiry made from Kentucky: "Yes, Uncle Tom's Cabin has been made the" subject of an opera. Caryl Florio composed the music for an. operatic yer sion of Uncle Toms Cabin which was pre sented at PhUadelph'ia May 22 1882."
