being unable TO gain admission to the
theatsr. There was. however. but .
small sprinkling Of ladies in the dress
circle. owing to the prevailing impression
that the exhibition possessed immodsst
features. We are pleased to assure
our lady readers that such was not the
case. The spectacular entertainment
was magnificent, sclipsing everything OF
the kind ever seen in Virginia City.
Among the variety artists deserving OF
especial mention are Mr.. Charles Dob
son, the famous banjoist, who favored
the audience with . rare musical treat
anil proved eonclusively that he was
master of his chosen instrument. He
enlarged on himself to the ex-
tent Of playing on two instru-
m,nts (banjos) at the same time.
Mr.. Ernest Lorsnzen o frequent
plandits from the audience by his won-
deriul performance on q nondsscript in
strument which appeared to be q cross
between q cythera and q duleimer. The
double piroutte on the horizontal bar
by Mr.. Frank Clifton was . novel and
daring feat never before ATTEMPTED on
this coast. Miss frankie Eta established
her reputation at snce a. . universal IA
vorits with the audience in her
splendid executed clog Hornpips. The
sprightly little elf wal greeted with
encore upon encore from the parqustts
and dress circle. the audience being 10th

Master Runnells, the Dutch Commedian,
possesses considerable musical ability
and is gifted with wonderful mimic
powers. He was called back on the
stage three or four times. OF the ven-
derful performances Of Mile Jsannstte
Proscher, Pauline Barrstta, Hattie KEEL

We will not refer to, save to state that
they were the perfection OF the tsrpsi-
ehorean art. The play entitled the Black
Crook was produced in excellent style
with all the accessories OF beautiful
scenery. gorgeous costumes, calcium
lights and other devices calculated to
delight the eye. Wonderful scenic effects
were produced creating views trans
cendently beautiful. and converting the
the humbls stage into an Aladdin's
Palace. The performance reached n
climax in the Transformation Scene
which was beautiful beyond dsscrip-
ton. Those Of our readers who day
after day have nothing upon which to
feast the eye, but bleak mountains and
arid deserts should by all means see the
transformation scene in the Black Crook.
The entertainment will be repeated to-
night, and let us again call attention to
the fact that there is nothing in the per-
Torrance to which any lady could take
any exception.

rather tho extension OF the White House
clothing store in Virginia City. has been

cheaper than ever before.
