AMUSEMENTS. 5* “Under The Red Robe.” This fascinating play which ha] a run of two years at the Empire Theatre, New York city, will be seen here on Tuesday evening April 4, at Hoyt’s Theatre under the auspices of Putnams Hose 00., with Mr. William Morris as the romantic hero Gil de Berault, supported by a large, strong and elite tive organization. All the s:enery and costumes used during its. long run in the metropolis will be brought here with the company. The story of "Under the Red Robe,” as shown on the Stage, is, simple and direct. Gil de Berault has come under the ban of- Richelieu for breaking \the law for- bidding dwelling, He is to be hanged, but the Cardinal grants him pardon on condition that he go in disguise to the Chateau de Cocheforet and capture the owner of the estate, Henri de Cockeforet, who is a fugitive from the 'King’s force. De Berault. ,gambler and swash buckler that he is, has nice ideas of honor, and the task is exceed- ingly distasteful to him. He accepts, however, andzgv-e see himin the Chat- eau. in high favor with the wife of Henri and her sister Renee. He has found that the man he seeks is hidden in the Chateau, and he has also procured some valuable diamonds that he has been charged by Richelieu to take from the place if he can. So f.11 as his duty to the Cardinal is con- c-,e1ned he' 1s pregressing better than he could have hoped. But in so doing he has fallen in love 17 ith Renee, and sympathizes-deeply with Madame de A His honor is troubling him exceedingly. He hates himself for deceiving these confiding women, but he has pledged his word to the Ca1dinal. Eventually he leads the hunted Henri to safety and goes back to Paris to be punished by the Caidinal. He finds, when he arrives, that the King has one of his spasms of indepen— dence, and that Richelieu is out Of fa- vor. The last official act of the Car- dinal, as he believes, is to order that Gil de Berault is to be "confined dur- ing the King’s pleasure,” which gen- erally means imprisonment for life in a dungeon. But it does not end in that way. The King sends for Richelieu, because he cannot get along without him, and when de‘Berault looks at the order in his hand, he finds that he is to be confined at the Chateau de Coche- foret and not in a dungeon. Renee embraces him as her future husband, and‘all ends happily. I lack and the Beanstalk. 't’Klaw and E'rlanger‘s famous fairy spectacle, “The Strange Adventures of Jack and the Beanstalk,” is repeating its remarkable success of the past tWo sea-sons. The vast amount of publicity given it by its remarkable runs in Bos- iton, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago seems to inspire all theatre- goers with the wish to witness this really beautiful production, and the result is that “Jack” is playing to im- mense audiences everywhere he goes. The profdrmancesnow being given are said to be the best in the career of this extravaganza, the brilliancy of the production and the exCellence of the company receiving about equal shares of praise. “A ‘ Try Grain-0!
