Mrs. Fiske seeme to be practicing a
system of self-effacement, which has
hitherto not been tlie rule with American
stars, during her present engagement atg
the Lyceum Theatre. She began h
8
son two weeks ago with a perfor;
The Pillars of Scciety, in wi
part is by no means the prineip
and last fight in the new double bill
which she presented she did not appearf
at all in the first play.
This first play came as an agreeablei
surprise to those in the audience who had
fancied that they were to see an ördi¬

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
Schnitzier’s The Recköning.“ 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 applicabie 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
do realistic“ Apache“ lances.
It seems that the aristocrats of that
perlod were as interested as those of this
in slumming, only on the particular night
in question a great desl #fsthe action in
the cabaret turns out to be real. The
little play is full of interest, and toward
the close one swift surprise follows an¬
other. It was capltally acted last night
by a cast headed by Holbrook E
