THE SALE OF SEATS It Began To-Day for the Great Pearl of Pekm The sile seats began this morning for the big amusement event Monday evening, Rice i- Dixej's world-famous production, The Pearl of Pekm," and the sale was very satisfactory. To take all the greatest critics and all the largest cities of America as a crite non, the house should be entirely sold out before the doors open Monday evening, for surely no performance of this kind has ever been seen here, and it is safe to say, will not be seen again for many a day The New York San, speaking of its 250 nights' run in New York City, by this same company and with exactly the same magnificent surroundings, says "The last and greatest success of Rice Dixey is 'The Pearl of and its gorgeous splendor, its wealth of vivacity and mirth, its melody, its catchy ditties, its torrent of beautiful female anatomy, it is almost beyond adequate descnption Its fascinating audacity eclipses 'The Corsair' and 'Adonis' The action ot the story is bnght--the music chirmmg. The wardrobe is superb. It is a display of costumes, rich, picturesque and magnificent--as if the nsing of the ourtain had revealed the oriental splendor of a gathering of tne Imperial Court of Pekin on some great feast day.

The cost, costumes and the beauty and unique blending of colors and fantastic designs, pale the memory of display, superb as it was, of The Mikado' Such a feast of silks, ot color and embroidery, makes one go home to dream all night of tintillating satins and diamond spray rainbows And, as in every production by Mr Eice, all the girls are there in liberal quantities and charming qualities They are all pretty and shapely--winsome and enchanting As the bnght, particular star and soul of the play, the jolly, wholesome, scintillating Louis Harrison is at his jest As Ty Foo, the mandarin, he is rresistibly funny--amusing, but not abusive--extravagant of action, but cleanly his extravagance, while his Dnffoonery Is pleasant because it bears no taint of vulganty--it is true comedy in its truest sense All in all, 'The Pearl of Pekm' is a most pronounced success, artistically and financially, as the crowded houses nightly demonstrate."
