TON TO Lolita AND "ZR."-ws have
seldom seen 10 large, fashionable. and
so wsll-pleased an sudisnce a. WAS
crowded into the Open House last even-
ing. The occasion wa the appearance
Of the ever popular favorits. Miss Lolita.
in her famous play Of Zip" AS agen-
sral thing the plays she appears in arc,
made to bring her into especial promin-
ence and show of her peculiar powers,
traits and excsllsncies in o particular
line Of delineations, but in Zip she not
only appears to most excellent adyan-
tage, but her effectiveness is added TO
very materially by the other capital char
acters by which she is surrounded and
assisted. Tho play itself Is q lively.
sparkling comedy. partaking OF the SEN
s~ational. with q very good plot, and con-
tains numerous amusing AZ well a . start
ling scenes and novel situations. The
title character. "Zip." is well suited to
the sprightly, comic, dashing little Lot
ia, and throughout she was the central
attraction, receiving h6r full need OF APP
plause. including sundry bouquets
thrown upon the stage, and at the IN
clusion she was enthusiastically called
before the curtain. W. G. Crosbis as
PHILOSOPHY Jack" who wa always
ready to "argue the point" did up that
peculiar character in capital style. and
was one Of the most amusing features Of
the play. That double dance. by Lolita
and Crosbie, was just q little the oldest
thing out and brough. down the house.
Their double songs were also very anus
ing. Mrs. Edmonds in the character Of
Miss Amanda Lovelace, an antiquatedg set
very sentimental unmarried gal, created
a high degree OF ,appreciativs mirthful-
ness. from the exquisite goodness OF her
rendition, and Edmonds himself per-
sonsted the cool. rascally. yet finally
disappointed schcmer, MIR. Anthony
wsltomot, in u highly finished and salts
factory manner. The low william OF the
piece, Jules Galetti. WIS admirably rep
resent by ]. W. Wilkes. Billings, as
Father Phelps. succeeded cxcellently,
and the other characters were generally
we'll sustained. With the exception OF a
few u%nimportant bitches the play passed
of splendidly and gave the utmost salts
faction. 1t is needless 10 say that the
Opsra House will DO densely crowded.
again tonight, NJ most OF the dress
circle seats were already engaged ut an
early hour this morning. And Lolita
will play the banjo tonight. Last even
ing. at various points in the play, her
auditors called for q touch OF the banjo,
and she had to bog of from inability to
comply. At the close. when she res
ponsively appeared before the curtain.
and the banjo was again called for, she
said her " banjo would arrive from
San Francisco. aud that this evening she
would be able to play upon an instru-
ment which would do her credit.
Lot;a's engagement is up tonight, and
she has to 90 elsewhere, yet were she
able to stay a couple Of weeks longer
she would be sure OF good houses. She
should return at an early date as posi-
BILE, for our theatsr-goers have not all
had an opportunity Il seeing her, and
all are sorry that tonight is her last for
the season.
SuTRo ILLusrRArED Tommy Dawes,
a young Gold Hill miner, Of whom we
have heretofore made mention as pos
scssed Of a considerable degree Of crude
artistic talent in the drawing and paint
inc line, has Just drawn a very clever
pictorial illustration o. Sutro delivering
his famous old magic lantern lecture
about his tunnel. The picture repre-
sents the great carpet.bagging Assyrian
lecturer making his first appearance on
the stage before the audience, and show

at tho back OF the stage by the magic
lantern. and Sutro standing near by,
