Respectable d mos appreclatlVe au-
dience appearing within those walls
for months. The theatre was well
filled in every part, a fact highly graft
flying to the proprietor, as we'll as
complimentary to the talented young
actress, who, coming triumphantly
Endorsed by the competent theatrical
critics Of San Francisco and Sacra
mento, aspires now to the good opinion
of the %appreciatiye citizens Of Silver
land. Did she succeed last evening?
Did she receive the most unqualified
applause Of her audience? Most EN-
phatically, yes, she did. Young and
handsome, with glowingly developed
form, graceful walk, q little below
medium stature, complexion an agree
able blending Of both blonde and bru-
neite, features and eyes expressive and
pleasing, q full, clear rich voice, at
times reminding one Of Alice Kings
bury, especially IN its most sweetly
modulated tones-all these physical
qualifications combine to give her a
very pleasing and attractive, as well
as, where the situation requires, u
commanding appearance. The play
was Romeo and Juliet, and IN her I'M
personation of the loving yet resolute
and unfortunate Juliet" Miss Evans
certainly made a highly favorable i'm.
preston on even the most critical OF
her audience. In the first act she was
appropriately welcomed and critically
considered, but In the love-making
scene in the second act, where the
fair Juliet" holds sweet converse
from the balcony with her favored
lover, Romeo" in the court yard
below, the hearty applause Of the au-
dience attested that she had already
secured their entire approval and in
dorsement as 4 fine and m~eritorious
actress. In the more energetic and
tragic situations of subsequent scenes
she developed q force, energy and
power of action calling forth frequent
and admiring applause, and at the
conclusion of the fourth and fifth acts
she was enthusiastically called before
the curtain. At the close, in a neat,
we'll worded little speech, she apollo
gized for certain unavoidable short
comings in the rendition OF the piece
on the part of others in the cast, which
explanation was favora6ly received by
the we'll pleased audience. Owing to
the n~on-arriyal of his wardrobe, Mi. j..
NJ. Hardie was unable to appear as
"Mercutio, yet nothing was lost In the
really fine rendition of that gay, vola-
tile character by Harry Courtaine.
Harry was often and deserycdly APP
plauded. Thayer's Romeo" was a
finished, appropriate and excellent
lmp~ersonation, although it might have
been improved by cleaner wardrobe.
Cotton, in NANCY wig, general make
IN and action, succeeded admirably
as old "Capulet." Sinclair made an
excellent "Friar Lawrence" Crowell
a sufficiently hideous "Tybalt," and
Barry was warmly a%pplauded for what
little he had to do as Peter" Owing
to some misunderstanding, Miss Alicia
Vaudeville kindly consented to play
the old nurse, which part had been
cast for Miss Fanny Young. She had
very short time for study, but she went
through the lines quite correctly.
Summer and Winter, however, do not
naturally assimilate. and the persona
ton was whimsical 70 say the least. 1t
was a constant struggle between age
and youth, in which the pretty Alicia
was irrepressibly predominant. 1t
will be many years, We hope, before
Miss Vaudeville will appropriately
personate an old woman. Mrs. Sill
clair should have been cast for that
part, and Miss Fanny Young for
LADY Capulet." There was some
little laundering in the scene shifting,
but generally speaking the piece
passed off well, and the music oy the
orchestra was excellent. This evening
Mqomcr, the Barba, ian, will be present.
with Miss Evans as "Parthenia," and
Mr.. Hardie makes his first appearance
as "Ingomar," instead Of Thayer, rs
stated in the distributed programmes.
The entertainment will conclude with
the appearance of Harry Courtaine as
"O'Cailaghan," in the roaring farce
of His Last Legs.

DIED on HIS WAY HoME.-Accord-
ing to a letter just received by Post
master Chubbuck, Of the Gold Hill
postofice, from the agents Of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company at San
Francisco, William ]. Evans, the un-
fortunate cripple in whose aid a benefit
was given by the LADIES' Mite Society
recently, died on board the steamer
before he reached Panama, OH his way
home to England. He died on the 2lst
of February, Of fever. He was insen-
sible when It waS first discovered that
J he was sick, and it was only through
examination of the papers, ETC.. found
in his pockets and valise that his iden-
tity was supposed to be made out. II
, Is most probably true that this was Mr..
Evans, and the sad news Of his death,
under the circumstances, will come
, doubly sorrowful to his friends here
and those dear ones to whom he was
, returning in the land Of his nativity.
