PIPER's OPERA HOUSE -THE Ma
THAN SISTERS - "RELIEF OF LUCK
Now" = The festive little Nathan
Sisters appeared in the laughable Irish
drama o fthe Limerick Boy last evening.
La Petite Marion, as paddy Miles,"
was the spiciest little rogue Of an Irish
"gossoon" we have seen for many a
day, and as for Selma, she Is really a
charming young actress very pleasing
In appearance and delineation. Their
double Irish jig, in the interlude, was
much applauded and encored. The
principal play Of the evening. how
ever, was the very popular sensational
drama Of Jessie Bronn, or the Relief Of
Luekno,e, for the first time presented
on the stage in this section. 1t Is of
the particularly sensational order, and
a little the noisiest and most warlike
arrangement our theatre-goers have
been thrilled with since the first loca-|
ton Of the old Comstock. Tho last
scenes are particularly exciting. treat
ing the audience to some Of the flercest
''pomp and circumstance Of war"
and also to a liberal supply of the
smoke and din Of sanguinary conflict.
Verify the audience, like Fingals
horse, ''smelleth the battle (notl afar
of, and crieth Hay! hay!" The fierce
and desperate sword combat, In the
grand fighting tableau and relief scene
Of the closing act was glorious, and
called forth the widest applause.
There Is all the shooting, cutting,
fighting. spiced off with q little hang
ing, In this piece that the most ardent
and enthusiastic audience could desire;
also plenty of true sentiment, as we'll
rs fine artistic delineation, as for in
stance Barry's PRESERVATION Of the old
Scotch preacher, who was so ready
with his prayers and religious exhorta-
lions, yet who swung his hammer on
the outer wall so effectually when the
raScally Sepoys were storming the be-
leaguered fortress. Miss Fanny Young,
also, as 'Jessie," the Scotch lassie who
figures so prominently throughout the
piece, and Is so decisive with her knife
in the concluding combat, appeared to
finer advantage than we have before
seen her. Hardie as randall Nc
Gregor," Courtaine as "Nana Sahib,"
and Cotton rs 'Geordie," all dressed
and acted well their parts. Miss Mag
gle Moore as '.Amy," Miss Vaudeville
rs "Alice," Miss Susie Soule rs MARY"
and even the diminutlve Darling as the
little child OF the piece, all did well.
With the exception Of an occasional
blunder and some perhaps unavoidable
drag, the play passed off quite salts
factorily. 1t will be repeated tonight.
and everybody should see 1t by all
means. The Nathan Sisters will also
appear In the droll Irish drama Of His
Last Legs, little Marion personating
"O'Callaghan."
