A Washington post critic savages Bruvver Jim's Baby at the Columbia Theater. Three acts drag, the second act imitates a church service, and the plot lacks surprise. The reviewer recommends shelving the play and doubts Wilton Lockaye’s star vehicle idea.
The Columbia Theater opens Trilby with Wilton Lackaye as Svengali and two new Trilbys Miss Hilda Spong and Miss Charlotte Walker. Belasco Theater offers Prince Karl with Edwin Arden, Florenca Lowell, and a strong summer company in Gunter and Mansfield’s comedy framed by studio life and Parisian scenes.
John M. Kline and Eugene Savoyard, young Washington actors, gain fame with the Charles B. Hanford troupe. Kline, praised for Julius Caesar and Cymbeline, returned home after seven months on tour to rest for summer. Savoyard, a Kentucky native raised in D.C., tours as Lucius and Arviragus with Hanford, amid Southern to Pacific routes.
The New York theater week opens with His Terrible Secret or the Man Monkey a Darwinian melodrama starring a gorilla as a humanized figure in Brooklyn. A second feature The Friends of Labor satirizes labor politics with melodramatic clashes ending in a National Guard riot. Jardin de Paris rooftop acts mix Parisian fantasy with living pictures, nudity by design restrained and artful, as crowds sample the living paintings and statues though bets settle on the show’s risqué edge.
