MttimKor Crosloy linn introduced into Oh, What a Nisht ! a "criuoline dancp," 17111011 is performed by four hiKh- kickers wearing ouoriuous hooi>-skirt», and is naturally a great hit. Alexander Salvini will add to his repertory next season a French me'o- drama called The Sou of I'orthos. This play is u continuation of the story of The Three Guaidsnieii, and has been a very great success at tiie I'orte St. Martin and Ambigii theaters in I'aris. Felix Morris, in the Chicago Post of Feb. lii, tells the story of his early stage struggles, lie is still winning high hon- ors with Rosiiia Yokes, but he will star next season, as has been announced. He will be managed by Frank Williams, will engage a good company, and he has several new pieces. Among them are six curtain-raisers, a farclcial comedy en- titled Moses, adapted from the German by Minnie Maddern-Fiske ; a two-act comedy by Mrs Burton Harrison, entitled Evergreen ; a two-a<'t comedy called Champagne by B. S. VanZile, and others. A remarkable illustration of the vi- cissitudes of professional life is furnish- ed by the discovery of Dan ISmmett, formerly a prominent minstrel, and the author of that famous song Dixie, in Mount Vernon, Ohio, earning his daily bread at the ripe age of seventy-eight years by chopping wood. Madame Modjeska will deliver an ad- dress at the World's fair on Woman on the Stage, and other prominent ac- tresses are exiiected to discuss the topic.
