YORK.
Harlem Opera House. "Faust." Lewis
Morrison. Mr. Morrison's impersonation com-
bines humor with dramatic intensity. The
drama is admirably presented and some aston-
ishing spectacular effects are produced.
Niblo's.
"Manhood."
Edwin Thome.
Emma Stockman. On Monday last this play
was produced for the first time in America.
Mr. Thorne is well known as a capable and ef-
fective actor. Miss Stockman is talented and
attractive. The melodrama is magnificently
staged and is well performed by a very excellent
company.
Garden Theatre. " L a Cigale."
Lillian
Russell. Large audiences have greeted the re-
turn of this charming opera. On the opening
evening Miss Russell received quite an ovation.
Mr. Louis Harrison and Mr. Hayden Coffin are
also especial favorites. It is hardly necessary
to say that the opera is brilliantly presented.
Fourteenth Street Theatre.
"Superba."
The Hanlons. A new and brilliant pantomimic
spectacle is delighting crowded houses at this
theatre. The transformations are startling and
the effects uncommonly amusing. The clowns,
acrobats and dancers are all of first-rate ability.

Herrmann's Theatre. " I f I Were You."
Marion Manola. John Mason. The Manola-
Mason Company still continues the attraction
at Herrmann's Theatre, and entered upon the
fourth week of its run last Monday night. So
favorably has the production " If I Were You ''
appealed to the public in its tenderness of senti-
ment and cleanliness of dialogue and action,
that success beyond the expectation of the man-
agement of the company has crowned it since
its inaugural performance. Negotiations are
now pending looking forward to an extension
of the time originally booked for this production
at Herrmann's. If these negotiations carry
successfully, it will afford the company an op-
portunity to appear in other plays which will
prove equally as attractive as the one now run-
ning. The charming individuality of Marion
Manola, her exquisite voice and cleverness in
acting, have won for her merit universal ac-
knowledgment by all who have attended Herr-
mann's. Jack Mason, her husband, is too well
known as an actor to need comment. Since his
first appearance in New York he has won hosts
of friends and proved his claim to all the en-
comiums with which he was heralded.
