AT THE AMERICAN Manager Fox has made de-
cided hit by the engagement of the Krafy troupe OF
Hungarian dancers, who appeared last evening to a
large audience who received them in most enthu-
siastic manner. These performers are undoubtedly
the most remarkable in their particular line that
nave ever appeared in this country. They are thor
ongh artists, and their dancing, while it diff
ers materially from that commonly seen,
has grace, dash, and spirit of its own that is
fascinating and inspiring. The troupe consists
women, all Of whom are drst-class
dancers The leaders of the troupe are Mad1e
Hanola and her two brothers, all Of whom have
fine Intelligent, and Enthusiastically Hungarian coun-
tenances and apart from its individual merits their
dancing IS attractive and fascinating from the con-
trast that II offers to what we are usually accus-
toned TO. This troupe achieved an immense sue
cess in New York. and unlike many of the New York
sensations that are turned to us after they have

applause that has been bestowed npon them. The
impression they made last evening was unmistaka-
BILE, and they will doubtless continue to attract
there.
