and will always be, a popular play.
Our people delight In something to
laugh at as we'll as something to cry
at, and they do both we'll. They heart

spirit Of any good play when rendered

at the Opera House. enjoyingly laugh
when the laugh comes In, aud sympa-
th~etlcaily allow their tears to flow In
copious streams when the we'll define

sacredly believe In the truthfulness
Of the drama as represented by Mrs.
Bowers. Her im~personation Of the
loving. yet wildly jealous and not al
together honestly treated Lady Isabel,
last evening, IA fervently truthful,
all womanly and good, magnetically
attracting and carrying the sympa-
thies of her audience throughout. In
the deeply emotional scenes Of
the closing act, the appreclative ladies
and gents of the dress circle were ade-
quately affected In the way Of tears,
and even the hard. handed miners In
the parquette gazed In silent, throat
swelling. heartfelt sympathy. The
Sir Francis Levison Of Mr.. McCollom
was a well rendered, finished pieces Of
acting. and Archibald Carlyle found an

Edmonds. Lord Mount Severn was
excellently ~personated by MIR. Lyston,
aud Mrs. Edmonds as the angular con-

Cornalia Carlyle could not well have
beeu excelled. She fitted the charac.

hit. Sweet Barbara Hare was
most charmingly personated by
Miss Ella Wilton, and tho other
characters were generally we'll rem

most talented musicians p~rocurable.

and most famous Improvisation OF the
title character, and J. e. McCollom as
the Earl Of Essex. The cast embraces
the most effective strength Of the COM

OMNIBUS Accommodating OF
those who attended the theatre last
night, from Gold Hill, are complain
ing to-day that they were disappointed
by the omnibus line, and had to walk
home. Such disappointment last even
ing was all the more grsvious from the
fact that 1t was a very blustery, dusty.
and disagreeabls night, such as those
who had to walk over the Divide could
particularly we'll appreciate. Men
could stand the trip we'll enough, but
il was rather rough OH the ladies.
Last evening, however, the omnibus
line Was not altogether to blame. Mr..
White had two Of his buses hitciied up
and ready, but owing to the bad
weather did not like to have the ami
mails and drivers standing out exposed
to the weather, therefore. they staid In
the shelter Of the stable until about
the usual time tor the audience to
come out, when one drove up just In
time TO get a load, but the second bus
was too late for any. Mr.. White de-
sires us to state that he does not con-
slider himself at fault In the matter at
all, but blames the management for
not letting him know that the play
would be through earlier than usual.
The performance was shorter last evell-
ing than it was the evening before, yet
he had no means Of knowing that II
would be In time to be ready with his
buses. Now It seems to US that some
sort Of an understanding could De

Hill public would be accommodated,
and to the advantage Of both parties.
More people would 60 from here to
the theatre were they sure that they
could ride home after the performances.
