OTIS SKINNER.
Something About this Leading Actor
Who Appears Here Next Week.
Otis Skinner is famous for his splendid
production of 'Trinee Rudolph" and his
appearance here Is looked forward to by
theatre-goers as the Ohief event of the
near future.
The Norfolk Landmark of yesterday
contained the following in its notes on
future attractions:
"Unfortunately, the scope of the
dramatist in recent years seems to have
become dwarfed by the commercial spirit
of the times, and but few dramas are
presented nowadays that are not con
structed with a view of filling the top
floors of the theatre. Likewise, actors
have become more or less utilitarian.
But there are exceptiAis to this rule.
One of the most notable of these ex-
; ceptions is Otis Skinner, who !ins rare
ability to put life into the self-created
heroes of brave and tender lays. Otis
fciunner is presenting this season a new
and successful romantic comedy, called
"Prince Rudolph," a free adaptation of
one of Robert Louis Stevenson s talcs,
His coming engagement at the Academy
next Wednesday and Thursday evening
and Thursday matinee will be one of the
really important dramatic events of the
present season,"

ing in The House.

trouble during the inauguration of Gov
ernor Bushnell, and have bodies of pa
trolmen stationed along the line of
march. It is also stated that the militia
have been provided with ball cartridges
nnd nave been ordered to shoot if the
necessity arises.
Mark Hanna's supporters have been
pouring into town all the morning, and
they have been loudly expressing their
opinion of Governor Bushnell in ne un
certain terms. Most of the militia com
panies which will participate in the pa
rade have shown up with depleted ranks.
Both officers and men are declaring
that they would not do anything fori
Bushnell. The feeling against Governor
Bushnell is very bitter, and he was told
by his supporters to-day that the less the
crowd sees of him the better it will be.
The Hanna leaders have given orders
that there must 'be no demonstration
against Governor Bushnell outside of
jeering, but it is a question whether they
ean control their supporters. Governor
Bushnell's friends to-day declare that
n insult to him will result in trouble
at the Hanna meeting this afternoon.

reconvened this morning, nnd Governor
Bushnell was sworn in at noah. So far,
there has been no trouble.

es of the Legislature for Senator will

there will be no election.
The Senate, it is expected, will he 19
to 17 against Hanna, but the House is
in his favor. A mass meeting of Rip'ib-
licnns from all parts of the State, for
Uannn, is billed for this afternoon, and
the final conferences to-night.
