Tho good reports that had been re eelved of tbe opereua served to secure for It a F^Pf artumeni unconvbicing, lis houseful or people, who found It 10 be all that bad been rvpresented, and who accorded It a must cordial reception. It may be said 10 con- tain all (he elements of a succeufnl musical piece of lis class; the dialogue Is sprightly, clean and nearly alwaya wliiy; Uie music is almple, but pleasantly uielodloaa, witb catchy aire in ileoly; tbe scenei> and costumes are very pleasing u> tho ere, and the Urge olioras, composed lu tbe main ofbandaume youngwomen, la well drilled and oinbte.

Allghtof form and n^itiy ut feature, sho cenalnly looked the part of the ngeniie that she lainKiuateil admirably, and vocally her light hut very sweet voice was lully equal to Uie reiioireuienis nt tho role.

Even tbe talbunanlo word "mother" Is ob employed Ui a manner that Is desecrating: vice la gkMsed with sickly senumentalliy, and vlr- lue omltsno radiance. Tne play was In tba main well acted, bnt It Is scsreely woith while to dwell upon a perfomisnce of whlcb the playen them- aelres will soon cease lo boast.

UovT'sTBiiATHB—Itobert nilllaid began a aea- non at this house Sept. 2, wllh W. A. Tremalne snd Logan FoUer's comedy, "I»tl, 24 Uoun" ss tbe st- tncilon. This play was drat performed Uareb 4, IBS, at tbe Hetronollun Opera House, St. PanI, Minn., and an outline of Its plot has already ap- peared In these columns; however, au Idea of the drift may be gained from the following: Vlck Swift, butrccenily drawn Into the matrimonial net, duly celebnatei tbe depanura of bla wife fora brief out- of-town visit by reaching an advanced slate of Intoxication. Ho sleeps for twenty-four hours, and upon awakening reeeli'ea an unexpected call from a ceriain Mre. Dacre, an adventuress whose acnnalntauce he had formed prior to his marriage. Swift, who Is unaware Ibat be bad passed no long a Ume In slumlier, supiMses the present day to lie Mondsy, when In reshly It is Titeadsy, tbe day set for bis wife's nnrn. Ha consumes considerable time In remonstrating with Mre. Dacrc, who had called with Mackmallbig ss ber object, snd tliey sre surprised by the entrance of Mrs. Swift. In the turmoil of the moment, Mr. Swift ialroduees Mis. Dacre ss his shiter, and Ihe remaludorof tbe phiy Is given over to bis attempts toe-\iricate hlmelf from Ihe muddle. The theme Is Incoberenily car- ried out, the olinracten an In tbe main purely chil- dren of fanoy, and ihe author In constructing them hasadhered too closely 10 conventional lines to In- sure a sstisfactoy result, and much of tbo dlalogne Is sprinkled with local slang, which Is out of place In Its aurronndlnra. Yet lue play vras received vrith spplsuse, and tbe audience Insisted on view- ing the anibon, Mr. IliUlard also being compellad to respond to repeated calls for a speech. Several Unes of decided wit and much humor an dU- oovered, and the acUon Is suniflalngly splrlied. Itobert Illlllanl, as Dick Swift, gave a performance which presented few itaws. Uisacilngwasanch as to redoct great credit upon himself, and he de- livered bbi Ihiea In a manner that met Its roward lu nnaUnied spplauae. Tbs portrajal of tbo nIe of David Swift by Orent Sleerart waa on a par wlUi Uiat of Mr. illuiard. Be con- tributed ono of tbo most hnmorous blta of character acting seen bi many a day, Madeleine Benton, as Mm. lurtba Dacre, acquitted benelt oredllably, Sho was unduly exuberant bi some of tbe scenes, bnt this did not mar the general excel- lence of her work.
