ACE OF TRUTH - AND THE NlAJlLTONS.-
We have seldom seen so large or so
we'll pleased an audience as assembled
within the walls Of the Opera House
last evening. Indeed, so already fam
ous and potent was the attraction, that
the theatre was not large enough to
hold all who desired admission, and
many were obliged to turn away from
the door. unable to effect m entrance.
As to the entertainment given, Ill
though of the light, unsubstantial or
der, it was the most thoroughly pleas
ing and satisfactory which has been
given In this section for many a month.
The spectacular, musical, dramatic
and terpsichorean fairy comedy, en-
titled the palace Of Truth" was pro-
duced In most excellent style, although
lacking somewhat In scenery, and all
the principal characters were ably per-
sonated, Mrs. Stewart, although labor
ing under q painful attack OF inflam-
matory rheumatism, appearing never
theles, In the role assigned her. Miss
Rose Evans was warmly applauded BY
her many friends on appearing, as was
Mrs, Stewart. The play ITSELF al
though Of the light fairy order, pos
seSses quite q degree Of merit, and In
Its composition contains many pas
sagss, Of beauty and pleasing Interest.
The principal and most amusing Idea
consists In all those coming within The
talismanic influence Of the charmed
palace being obliged to speak the
truth whether they will or not. And
the candor aud cordial honesty with
which all these suddenly made Truth
full Jameses, aud artless females do ad-
dress each other, Is both delightful and
refreshing. Indeed, 1t Is quite a satire
on the general ~insincerity OF both
man and wamankind. That loving
scene between Prince Philamir, Buck
leyl and Arena, Miss Jennie Mande-
vilis(. was peculiarly comfortable to
contemplate. The famous prismatic
fountain was q decided success In every
respect, throwing the most maguif-
cent lets to the hight Of fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet, as high as the paraphernalia OF
the stage would allow, and, comprising
q itdld, all the colors Of the rainbow, It
was beautiful beyond adequate descrip-
ton. The ballet dancing was also very
pretty aud much ~applauded. The
most sensational Of all was the short,
quick and surprising Majilton episode
In the performance, at tho close OF the
second act. That pretty, fhultlessly
formed girl, and her two brothers:
are marvels Of gymnastic activity and
suppleness, and their lively gymnastics
and wonderful pantomimlc capers kept
the audience In q continual roar OF
laughter, ending In wild shouts as they
dlssppsared from the stage. Every
body could stand more Majilton. 1t Is
needless to predict another crowded
house this evening.
