Tremayne and Logan Fuller. The cast: "Dick" Swift Robert Millard David Swift Mr Theodore Babcock used to string together specialties. It is just the sort of play that delights the lovers of stirring melodrama, and at times last evening the applause of the crowd was deafening. In spite of the very disagreeable Weather the theater was filled, and the careful performance made the peopld. In the audience glad that they had ventured out.

The story deals with the fortunes of a northern going man and turers, the his sister, both of whom are rich. They fall into the hands of southern adven- In a gambling den and is hunted about young man loses his money by members of the Ku Klux Klan. All is brought to a happy ending by the efforts of a young detective who is in love with the hero's sister. The role of. the detective was talcm by Robert McWade Jr, and that of the adventuress assumed by Valerie Bergere.

Both actors did unusually clever work. They were well assisted by Mr J. J. Farrell as the rich young northerner, Mr Alfred Beverly as the sheriff, and Miss Catherine Osterman as the hero's sister. The smaller parts were all in very capable hands.

The scenes of the play are well laid. and some of the effects. such as the broken bridge, the New Orleans gambling house and the dismal swamp, were received with much applause. Mr John W. West and Mr Gus Mills introduced up-to-date specialties in the second act, and a band of young colored boys added much to the fun of the piece.

"On the Mississippi" is only in Boston for one week, and that It will be a prosperous one seems assured by the success of the opening performance. Last Week of Sa "ns Gene." The beginning of the last week of "Mme Sans Gene" at the Boston theater last night was made memorable by the attendance of the members of the newly formed Playgoers' club of this city. The plan was formed by Mrs Alice E. Cram, the treasurer of the organization, and it was received with great favor by the members at large. Mrs Cram and several of the directors were in the boxes, and the others had seats in the orchestra.

The marks of appreciation with which the sparkling comedy was received gave good reason for the assertion that this play, at least, was not under the ban of the club's disapproval. As "Mme Sans Gene's" departure looms large upon the horizon, it is clear that the people of Boston are determined not to let slip the opportunity of seeing such an artistic and historically truthful dramatic representation as this fine work the progress of their act, and the windup is made with the youngest of the males standing on his head on the poll of the other. while the latter engages in a waltz with the woman. The sisters Merril les are the swellest dancers seen here for a long time, both as to makeup and in grace of execution; they are also excellent vocalists, and made a pronounced hit.

Grand Opera House. Another bound forward to the goal of assured success was made at the Grand opera house yesterday, for despite the fearfully unpleasant weather the house was packed at both the afternoon and evening performances and between showswhen straight vaudeville reigns a goodly sized audience was in attendance.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon it was necessary to stop the sale of the gallery tickets, as that portion of the house was packed to suffocation, and in the evening late comers found seats throughout the house filled. A great many people were drawn to the theater by the production of "The Ensign," its first at popular prices, and It is not saying too much to concede the production equality with any other ever seen hero Particular attention was paid to the scenic details and the heavy sets were superbly handled. The first act showed the home of Capt Wilkes, in Havana, Cuba, and there the story of the play was started and carried through the stage lives of Ensign Ben Baird, his sweetheart Alice Greer and the ensign's fellow-officers, friends and jig dancing and the sundry evolutions that are given such high-sounding names on the program. Lyceum Theater. Rice and Barton's comedians began their engagement at the Lyceum theater yesterday before a large audience.

The play "31cDoodle and Poodle" is full 1 of amusing situations and specialties. and the company was received with many manifestations of approval by the pleased spectators. Mr Charles Barton and Mr G. W. Rice repeated their former successes In the title role characters.

The play, which is William Haworth's melodrama, took place on Providence plantation in the middle of the civil war period. There was a draft of warriors, a general weeping when the brave had to go. and there was the sneaking deserter returning home to face the shame that ought to have made him tremble more than bullets, and there was the return of the faithful soldiers. The violent scene was not a battie, but a difference between some giant powder and a bowl-der of granite, the granite getting much the worst of it.

A few years ago the name of William Carroll was a household word in every theatergoing family from Maine to California. When he was billed to appear In Boston, New York, or, in fact, anywhere, the people went in multitudes to bear one of the greatest banjo comedians that ever trod a stage. Five years ago he was obliged to retire from the stage through illness while in the very bight of his career.

The slight malady which then forced him to relinquish his stage career soon developed into that dread disease consumption. He died at his home in Chelsea, Jan 25, leaving a wife and five children, the oldest being a girl of 12 years. This family is now in needy circumstances, and the many friends of "Billy" Carroll have arranged for a testimonial for the benefit of that family, to be given at the Chel- 1 sea academy of Music Easter Sunday night. April 5. A number of professional artists have already volunteered their services for the occasion, and the tickets are selling rapidly.

Mr Wm. Harris of Rich Harris, who was formerly associated with Carroll, has kindly volunteered to per-'atonally direct the testimonial. Recital by Mr and Mrs Heinrich-The vocal recitals given by Mr and Mrs Max Heinrich have always proved very enjoyable. and last evening's concert in Steinert hall proved no exception to the rule. This gifted couple are so thoroughly sympathetic and artistic in their duo work that they have but few equals in that special class of concert music.

Mr Heinrich's accompaniments are notably fine, and as a singer he is recognized as an artist of high attainments. The program covered a wide range of compositions, and the interpretations, whether solos or duets, were characterized by the same delicacy and artistic skill in expressing the authors' sentiments that have made Mr and Mrs Heinrich's recitals a prominent musical feature in this city. Mrs Heinrich was particularly pleasing in "0. that I were a Little Bee." by Franz. and Kelley's odd trifle.

called a Chinese love song. Mr Heinrich received an encore for a beautiful rendition of Arthur Foote's touching little song, 'Tm Wearing Awa'." A French song by Thomas was the gem of the duet numbers. The next concert will be given Monday evenin. $12,470,317.26 3,309,837.09 151780,154.31 22,000,000.00 DMA Assets, Claims Paid?

The house was comfortably filled, and plays and players were most cordially received. The double bill once more admirably served its purpose of showing the range from grave to gray, from touching seriousness to lightest comedy, in Mr Hilliard's histrionic abilities, besides making foils. one for the other, by which the excellences of each might be the more readily appreciated. As Van Bibber in "The Littlest Girl" Mr Hilliard was very close to the ideal which one makes in reading the story, and the words gain new emphasis and meaning from his acting. The story is touching in print.

It is more so as presented by Mr Hilliard on the stage, as more than one moist eye in the audience could testify. Dramatization and presentation leave little to be desired. As Dick Swift in the comedy, Mr Hilliard was equally satisfactory in the much lighter vein generally required, giving the character the requisite dash; "go" and nonchalance needed by the typical New Yorker, yet dropping readily into the more serious parts to a complete and finished personation. Several new faces were seen in the company, but no comparisons need be made, since every one was fully equal to his or her part. Mr Babcock was admirable as Carruthers in the "curtain raiser." and was exceedingly amusing as Dick's pious brother in the comedy, playing the latter part with a seriousness and unction which added to its mirth-provoking qualities.

Mr Butler was as good as before as the blase man of the world, and Mr Rogers more than renewed his previous success in the part of Goldstein, the Jew pawnbroker. The part of the adventuress, Mrs Dacre, is perhaps the strongest in the comedy. and in Miss Pagets hands its possibilities were fully realized. With pleasing personality, fine stage presence and a svell-trained and finely controlled voice. she made a decided impression On her audience, and turned from grave to gay, from the lightness of comedy to the depth of passion and tragedy, which the character occasionally shows, with equal readiness.

Miss Kenney was sweet and lovahle as the injured wife, while the Church-ills, mother and daughter, were well done by Misses Cowel and Grey. Miss Whitehouse was a pert and pretty as a waiting maid should beon the stage. Shaun Rhue. BOWDOIN SQ THEATER "Shaun an Irish drama In four acts. The cast: Larry Donovan Joseph Murphy Gerald Cavanagh Jr Harry Gorrein Lawyer Waddy Sheehan Patrick Cavanagb John Daley Bryan Calligan Charles Brandt Peter Calligan Wm Clark Morris Donovan Mr John Burton Teddy Phats Dan Thompson Wm Somertleld Will Jordan rapt Lloyd Mr Browning Kate Donovan Miss Nellie Bragging Dora Cavanagh Miss Jennette Ferrell Poor Little Thu Miss Dottie Williams The popularity of the Irish comedian, Joseph Murphy.

was well4ittested last evening when the Bowdoin sq theater was crowded to its capacity by a most enthusiastic audience. The play was "Shaun Rhue," which will be presented again tonight and Wednesday matinee. "Kerry Gow" will hold the boards for the balance of the week. That the audience knew its popular actor was manifest on the first appearance of Mr Murphy, and the welcome he received was a royal one. The character which he assumed was not a new one to the Boston public, but repetition does not serve to decrease its popularity.

It is the story of Irish love and Irish villainy, and at the end of four acts the hero, in the person of Joseph Murphy as Larry Donovan. foils the villain, really a pair in this case. Charles Brandt as Bryan Cal was ably assisted in his machinations by William T. Clark as Peter Calligaa. his father.

The acting of Mr Brandt was apparently as successful in his line as was the hero, for his sveeches were received with hisses enough to have abashed a less wicked man. John W. Burton as Morris Donovan. the father of the hero, made a dignified and venerable old Irish gentleman. and won the sympathy of the audience.

There were but three women in the cast, and they sustained their parts in an excellent manner. Miss Lott le Williams as poor little Tim proved to be a petite and cunning little fellow. and whether in rags or broadcloth was always entertaining. Her duets with Mr Murphy were particularly pleasing. The songs of Miss Mollie Braggins were also well received, while Mr M'arphy's song "A Handful of Earth" as usual was one of the features of the entertainment.

t.taN. I eyes upon everything that is going on. The surpassing comeliness of many of the fair young women cannot well escape the admiring eyes of their friends and near neighbors, the young men attending the boys' high school, and it has come to pass that the migrations from the boys school to the girls' school during the luncheon hour have been of such proportions that the casual onlookers might be led to believe that the latter was a coeducational institution. In the eyes of certain puritanically disposed persons it was and le a great breach of propriety that the young man and young women should be allowed to mix together so promiscuously, and principal Tetiow was approached upon the matter upon several occasions and asked if the evil could not be remedied. But the trouble did not even end here.

Many of the boys have been in the habit of accompanying the girls from points near their homes as far as the school building. Now principal Tetlow himself has no very narrow or prejudiced icteas in regard to coeducation, nor does he really deem it harmful that Itis young women should come to school attended by young men who for all he knows are the best and most desirable of companions. However, there is a rule in the school which prohibits the girls being accompanied to the school by the boys and puts an embargo upon almost any other communication between them during or shortly before the hours that school is in session or at luncheon hour. This is a rule that has long been disregarded, and, in fact, completely forgotten by the pupils. From time to time they have been gently reminded of Its existence and cautioned to observe it, nevertheless the rule has been looked upon as practically obsolete and little notice taken of it.

But there has been a rude awakening. It is said that the other morning while the girls were gathered in the school hall the principal cautioned them to be more careful of their demeanor. Not that he thought that there was any reason for reproof; indeed. he believes that the girls and boys were to be fully trusted, at the same time for the sake of appearances it was best that the rule which has long lain latent should be observed. It is whsipered now that any young woman who wishes to come to school accompanied by a male companion must bring from their parents a letter giving her full permission to do so.

MISS SHEEHAN BEATEN. Her Brother Alleged to Have Assaulted Her on the Street. Vincent D. Sheehan, 24 years. who formerly lived in South Boston, passed last night in a cell in station 12, having been arrested on st, near East Gth, on the charge of assault and battery with intent to rob his sister Dora, who lives at 140 st.

The young woman is in the habit of collecting the rent of her employer. and on such occasions carries the money home with her in her shopping bag. The brother was aware of this fact, and last night is alleged to have laid in wait for his sister's coming. When Miss Sheehan put in an appearance on st, only a short distance from East 6th her brother is alleged to have stepped before her and demanded the bag, trying to take it from her, and, failing in this, knocked her down. Miss Sheehan clung to the bag, refusing to give it up, and was severely beaten.

A policeman made the arrest. Sheehan will be arraigned in the local court today. WALTHAM ALDERMEN. Two of Mayor Lyman's Appointments ConfirmedPour Others Sent In. WALTHAM, March 16The aldermen held a brief session this evening, when two of Mayor L3rman's appointments were confirmed.

The lucky men were Bertram Brewer, whom he named as a successor to the city engineer. F. P. Johnson, and Dr M. J.

The main portion of his lecture last evening was devoted to "The Bay of Naples." He also showed an ray picture of a razor and explained the process of photography. Other ray photographs were also shown. At the old-fashioned spelling match. last night in Union hall, under the auspices of the teachers' annuity guild, Mayor Perry was present as one of the judges.

Hon F. H. Raymond of the governor's council announced the words. Miss Hapgood won the first prize, Mrs Hayes the second. Miss Stella Hall the third, and Harry Bailie the fourth.

Mayor May Veto 525,000 Appropriation. NORTHAMPTON, March 16 There are many rumors, which seemingly have an excellent foundation in fact, to the effect that Mayor Field will veto the highway appropriation of $25,000. made by the city government last Thursday. Last year the appropriation was $17,000, and this year the finance committee recommended $19,000. It is known that the jump of WOO more for a single department was not liked by the mayor.

If this WOO is lopped off the tax rate can be kept at $16 on $1000. The tax rate last year was only $15, and the mayor was anxious that the rate of last year should not be exceeded.

After entering the cell room Kerivan Was caught in the act of giving the prisoners a pint of liquor.

Mayor Cobb presided and all the members were present. On motion of Alderman White the election of a city treasurer was postponed for a week. An order was adopted providing for the widening of Chestnut at, West Newton, from Washington St to Margin. and a hearing was ordered for April 6. The committee on public property was authorized to change the location of the Armory building-, and to alter engine 1 and truck 1 houses to provide for the widening of Washington st.

The whole show may be seen for a nickel. Beautiful There will be a matinee for ladies only between the hours of 2 and 0 today at Masonic temple, where "Nana" is now on exhibition. Ladies are in large numbers among the throngs of daily visitors, and they are always loud in their praises of the beautiful work. There is nothing in "Nana" to offend the most delicate tastes, and the superb genius of the artist has created a radiant living type of womanhood that all must bow before. The Crystal Maze.

The Crystal Maze, aside from the great Interest attached to it from a scientific standpoint, may have been said to lave been constructed for laughing purposes also. Everything seems and is funny at the maze. It is always the unexpected that happens and it happens in the mcst ludicrous and unexpected ways. At this mystifying place of amusement the statue will shortly be replaced by a new illusion said to be of a more elaborate nature. Wonderland.

The principal attraction this week at Wonderland is the Irish village, with Its colleens and gossoons in holiday attire singing and dancing to the melodies of their country. Upon the platform on which the village is erected are dairymaids in picturesque costumes, Limerick lace makers, "weavers and spinners, all busily engaged in their several avocations. At the head of the entertainers are Dan Nash, Tommy Morrissey and Eddie Leon. Among the other entertainers will be found Charles Young, Perlstein and Woedman, the living mermaid and the automaton checker player. i Bernhardt Route.

The Bernhardt travels right royally during her American tour. She and her servants have a private hotel car. the members of her company (which numbers 65 from the theater de la Renaissance, Paris) have a private sleeper, and three big baggage cars accompany the great French tragedienne wherever she goes. She is also accompanied by her pet collie. Game.

and some 27 personal trunks of beautiful gowns. Knowing the antipathy of hotelkeepers to entertaining her pets, Mme Bernhardt considerately left her tiger cat, snakes and five cub lions at home in Paris. "Izeyl," the Buddhist drama, with which she will begin her engagement at the Tremont next Monday, is the heaviest and most magnifieent, scenically, she ever brought to this country, but that fact will not hinder her from being ready to open on Monday night. The sale of seats and boxes, which began yesterday, proved most satisfactory. There was not the uncomfortable rush.

however, which keeps patrons standing in line an inconveniently long time, and the effect on the entire da3r's sale was for the better. for while the line numbered from 30 to 50 all day it never was above the last figure. For the sake of patrons the management trust that ticket buyers all the week will be as considerate of one another and not rush in in large numbers at one time. Mme Bernhardt played in Baltimore last night, where she will stay until after the Wednesday night performance. She then plays in Hartford, New Haven and Springfield.

successively. leaving the latter place immediately after the Saturday night performance by special train for Boston. The Davenport Engagement. Miss Fanny Davenport will not begin her season at the Boston theater until tsday, March 24, devoting next Monday night to a rehearsal of "Gismonda," which will be the first play given from her repertory. The company comes from St Louis on a special train, start-, ing Saturday night after the last performance there, and wculd undoubtedly be very tired on reaching this city.

There would also be but little time to properly mount the piece, because of the elaborate settings, and as Miss Davenport thoroughly believes in the rights of the panne to a perfectly sn-ooth performance on the opening night, as well as in later presentations, she has clecided to sacrifice the receipts of Monday night in the interest of artistic excellence and results satisfactory to theater patrcns, Amusement Notes. Mr Heinrich Sehuecker will give a harp concert in Steinert hall this evening at 8.15 o'clock. He will be assisted by Mr Mole, Mr Hoffmann and Mr Rose. "The Chimes of Normandy" will be the attraction at the Castle sq theater next week. with William Wolff in his favorite part, Gaspard.

The grand opera, "Lucia," is in active preparation. The next attraction at the Howard will be a big female minstrel, burlesque and variety entertainrnent, with a host of novelties. Press Eldridge will appear in the olio. The second of the series of six vocal chamber concerts will be given in Association hall this evening. The quartet will consist of Miss Frances G.

Agents. foes. Edwin Bethel, in the title role, was manly and dignified, a patriotic soldier and a gentle lover. Miss May Hosmer made a sweet Alice Greer and her emotional scenes were exceptionally well rendered. Edwin Boring made a handsome Lieut Allen, and credit is due Messrs Keough and liurrill.

The representations of historical personages were clever in the extreme, especially that afforded of Pres Lincoln by Herbert Chesley. Philip Robson made an excellent Admiral Farragut and Herbert Colby "made up" for Sec Wells to perfection. In the role of the villainous Lieut Blythe, Philip Robson succeeded In arousing the intense enmity of the "gallery gods," who hissed him roundly. Every character was admirably portrayed, Nellie Willard, Josepha Crowell, Leona Bland, and little Lottie Collins deserving especial mention. The vaudeville portion of the bill was of a most entertaining nature.

The Verdi ladies' quartet created admiration by their sweet singing. and the same Is true of Una May Crews, the California nightingale, and Louise Dempsey, a long established favorite in this city. Hughey Dougherty renewed former successes. George Evans. "the honey boy," made a distinct hit: Coogan.

Rand and Tare. the California trio, joked and tumbled themselves into favor; the Williams trio elicited music from numerous instruments, and Clark and Temple were much admired. Austin St.0326'5. Black Diamond was promptly on hand yesterday morning at Austin Stone's museum to exhibit his wonderful mouth. but long before his arrival a crowd had gathered that completely filled the place.

The Sunday rest had in no way reduced the size of the Black Diamond's mouth. Not a muscle had contracted. The expanse of the orifice was just as great as ever. When he smiled. the crowd laughed: and when he laughed, the crowd howled.

He would jerk a muscle and throw his mouth up upon the side of his face. Then he would carry on a conversation with himself by whispering in his own ear. He first tried this with his right ear. The act didn't Just exactly suit him, so he threw his mouth around to the other side and talked into the other ear. Then he sent the aperture down in the region of his windpipe, and while it was in this locality he dropped an orange into it, and away it went, never to again be viewed by the astonished audience.

A twitch of a muscle and up went the month to- his forehead. Here he drank water from a glass that he carelessly dropped into the mouth. Enoch. the remarkable swimmer, gave his interesting exhibition in a large tank. He did many clever feats while In the water, the most remarkable being the long time he remained beneath the surface while feigning sleep.

Eli Bowen, the handsome legless gymnast, attracted much attention. Herr Block mimiced men of note, Perno's Neapolitans presented a new program of sweet native music. Chris Meyer kicked higher than ever, and Barnum's "What is It?" had a smile for everybody. There was plenty to amuse in the theater, the people who did their share toward contributing the fun being the comedy four. Jas.

In addition to the clever work of the pretty girls and the comedians of the Rose Hill English Folly company.

who appear in two lively little travesties, there are also two olios of variety acts, one given by the specialists of the burlesque company, and the other by the Howard's management to make the entertainment continuous for over 10 hours every day. The burlesques are handsomely costumed. and well fitted out with new scenery. After the first one. which is entitled, "A Trip to Newport." Miss Clara Lawrence exhibited her mastery of the cornet, trombone and bugle, and was well rewarded with generous applause.

Crawford and Manning came next, in a negro eharacter and knockabout act, and then Van and Leslie kept everybody well entertained for about half an hour. Then came pretty May Lowery, a pleasing soubrette, who made her first appearance at this house, and aeso made an excellent impression. Barton and Eck-hat. a musical team, with many novelties. notably a bulldog that steals a watch and a funny little train of cars, closed the company's olio.

Bunth and Rudd led in the Howard's variety show, and made their usual pronouneed hit. Lizzie 13. Raymond followed with character and popular songs, and Sam Bernard, Dutch comedian, kept his hearers at about the bubbling-over point for a long time. Others in the entertainment were: Maud McIntyre. serio-comic; Miss May Wentworth, the dashing soubrette; ames and Ma Gliday, in Irish comedy; ame and Lydia Sheeran, in a comedy sketch: James Fenton, the boy baritone, and John Mc kicker.

There will be special performances today. Palace I heater. The Washburn Sisters' Last Sensation company is the attraction at the Palace theater this week. The performances given by the Washburns and their able assistants are more entertaining than the general run of these nonsensical conglomerations. Its women are pretty, and the majority of such splendid form that one could easily imagine a living' pieture show done up in tights, ruffles.

silks and flounces. The comedians and specialists are very clever, and although neither their sayings or doings are of the kind to be classified as exeeedingly brilliant. still they compel laughter, and that of the heartiest. In the vaudeville part of the show the following introduce taking specialties: Nellie Waters, "the Irish empress:" Haines and Pettingill, blackface comedians; White law and Ryan, Irish and Duteh comedians; Emery and Marlow, In "Just a Bit of Nonsense:" Allen Weightman, clever dancer; O'Brien, Jennings and O'Brien, comedians. boxers, musicians and dancers, and the Washburn sisters, a pair of the cleverest vocalists on the vaudeville stage.

Features of this part were the songs, Irish and negro. with rousing choruses, sung by Miss Waters, who received innumerable encores; the act by O'Brien, Jennings and O'Brien, which wound up with a boxing bout between the woman of the trio and one of her companions, and the act of the versatile Watson sisters, the popular cerio-comic artists. The burlesque "Fortuna" is a clever bit of nonsense, in which one may for- get care in admiration of the pretty faces, beautiful forms and the 'lovely women who do the marching, twirling, of Sardou's. Miss Kidder may leave town with the pleasant assurance that she has achieved the hit of her career so far as Boston is coneerned, and the same may be said of Mr Cook, already well known as a brilliant character actor. Next Monday evening comes Fanny Davenport with her magnificent "Gismonda," and the advance sale of tickets indicates a most successful season.

Model" at the Hollis. That "An Artist's Model" might remain in Boston with profit for a long period was evident to any one who attended the performance of the bright piece at the Hollis last evening. Everything went with a dash, and the songs were repeated again and again to satisfy the fancy of the IIst'ners. There was hardly a number in the entire comely which did not have to be given again and again in response to encores. and after the (lancing sextet.

the grotesque movements of Fred Wright Jr and the tom-tit dance of Miss Studholme recalls were innumerable. Pretty Miss Studholme was especially attractive last evening. and her archness won for her much applause. She is an artist who is better on a second hearing them at the first. and her songs and dances gain an interest at each repetiticon.

Adele Skipworth and Christine Mayne are two beauties are capital in their respective impersonations, and the dances by Lucy Nixon recall to theatergoers the eventful day when the first Gaiety company struck Boston. With such comedians as Fred Wright Jr, Maurice Farkoa and Lawrence d'Orsay, a page from the Encyclopedia Britannica would seem irresistibly droll, and in "An Artist's Model" they are shown to special advantage. At the matinee tomorrow every lady presenting a reserved seat coupon will be given a handsome photograph of Miss Studholme as a souvenir of the occasion. at the Castle Sq. The charming story.

and delightful melodies of "lignon" continue to please patrons of the Castle sq opera company. The work is given much too seldom here, and the few opportunities afforded of hearing it have been eagerly taken advantage of. The audience was very large last night, in spite of the storm. It was also a most enthusiastic gathering, and there were cordial plaudits for all the principal singers and demands for repetitions of most of their solos. The company is especially well cast, and the performance will rank with any of the meritorious productions by this remarkably versatile organization.

Miss Lane and Miss Mason have both won notable successes in the title role. They sing on alternate nights. and seem to have about an equal number of admirers. Each gives a finished dramatic portrayal, and their singing is delightful. Mlle Diard has strengthened the good Impression made on her first appearance, and may now be considered an established favorite with audiences at this house.

She gives a spirited. graceful and altogether pleasing impersonation of the gay Filena. Mr Murray's Laertes is capital. He has done nothing better this season. either vocally or dramatically.

His singing Is particularly pleasing, and last evening his interpretation of the famous aria In the second act was applauded with great enthusiasm. Mr Persse roust also be credited with an excellent portrayal. He sings agreeably and acts with good effect. Mr Wolff gives a finished Impersonation of Lotharto, and the others of the cast are thoroughly capable. His Excellency." The London Lyric opera company will close its season in this city at the end of the week.

and "His Excellency" will then be withdrawn from the Tremont theater to make room for another attraction. Gilbert and Carr's musical work Is admirably presented, and several of the actors have made pronounced personal hits. The company is well balanced and capable, and although Miss McIntosh's singing and the chorus work may be called the special musical features. the acting and dancing by the principals are worthy of very high praise. Seldom is seen so much animation In an opera as that shown by nearly every member of the cast, and the auxiliary contingent are not a whit behind the More prominent figures.

Miss Sydney Is a singularly graceful dancer and actress, and with Miss Aylward the pair are all that could be desired as the fair daughters of the governor. Miss Dene's (lancing is nightly encored; so are the nees of the buzzars, led by Mr Snow. and, in short about every other terpsichorean episode finds favor with the audiences. The comedy situations introducing Mr Le Hay, Mr James and Miss Barnett, go with great spirit, and all of Gilbert's lines are err ectively presented, whether sung or spoken. The stage management reflects credit upon Mr Gunn, and the entire production is attraetive, relincd and worthy of large patronage.

"The Gay Parisans." Last evening at the museum "The Gay -Parisians" began the fourth week of Its engagement in Boston. People in the large audience, who listened to the hearty laughter caused by the witty lines and comical situations could scarcely realize that for nearly a month the merry comedy has been presented at the IT1113PUM. The season of 1895-96 at this house has been a remarkable one. While theaters in this and other cities have languished, or at least been favored with spasmodic bursts of patronage, the museum has held a succession of very large and fashionable audiences. Competing attractions, Christmas and Lenten seasons have not diminished the patronage.

"The Gay Parisians" stands well up among the list of winners, and without doubt will so continue for the remainder of the engagemeet. It has proved all that was promised for it, namely, that it wa-s an entertaining comedy admirably presented. it will ccntinue until Saturi day evening, April 4, and will be foi1 lowed Monday. April 6, by Buse. Keith's New Theater.

"My belovedsstorm dodgers," was the way in which that blackfaced philosopher. Frank Moran, addressed the large audience assembled at Keith's yesterday afternoon, and it helped swell the laughter that had gradually increased from a ripple at the beginning of the performance to a wave that swept from orchestra to balcony, and then rolled back again. Moran is a sage in his way, and an intensely funny comedian. The trio De Korke. Mr Keith's latest European importation, were very much In evidence, and their act is one of the best seen in Boston for a long time.

The novelty of It Is that the woman sup ports the others her shoulders, whenever such a thing becomes necessary in 4 i I I' 1 li'l lif IA 141 I I 1 1 1 L' 2.1'' II i I 4 II 1 l- ki Li' il 1 1 I I 1 4 1 1 1, 0 I i i 1 i 1 1 i 1 1 1 I a I. i 4- 4,, it 34 1 IN i tl i 1 li I 1 I 1 .1 1 i 1 I 4 1 1 Pt 1 1 I 4 'R- i' i 1 1 I 1 '2 I a ska s4, I II Ihat or-- i A REFLEX or SOUTHER Next WeekChas.
