Mrs. Fiske seems to be practicing a
system of self-effacement, which has
hitherto not been tlie rule with American
stars, during her present engagement at
the Lyeeum Theatre. She began her sea¬
son two weeks ago with a performance of
The Pillars of Society,“ in which her
part is by no means the principal one.
and last night in the new double bill
which she presented she did not appear
at all in the first play.
This first play camie as an ägreeable
surprise to thosé in the audience who had
fancied that they were to see an ordi¬
nary curtain raiser. Schnitaler is a Vien¬
nese dramatist not unknown in New York,
however, and some of those present may
have seen this same play when it was
presented with the same author’s“ Lit¬
erature“ in a triple bill at the Irving
Place Theatre during the Conried régime
at that playhouse. Literature“ was
afterward played in English, as was
Schnitzler’s" The Reckoning.““ The
Green Cockatoo“ was probably given its
first performance in English here last
night.
The action of the play occurs in a Paris
cabaret during the night of the fall of
the Bastille, but much of the satire might
easily be applicable to the Paris of to¬
day, where just as many actors-find em¬
ployment in these dives, engaged to rep¬
resent murderers and cutthroats and to
