of the production well calculated to enlist the

instrumentalists Both acquitted themselves TO the
intense delight Of the assemblage the lady performing
wonderful feats on nearly dozen instruments and Mr..
Keen assisting her and mystifying everybody by .
double banjo solo, each playing the others banjo with
one arm around the neck. This part Of the entertain

songs were introduced, comic and sentimental, and
what with grotesque dances and other enjoyable
elements Miss Adams and Mr.. Keen well merited the
hearty and appreciative recognition with which their
respective merits were received Mr.. Keen is good

Mr.. JOHN DILLON AT THE PARK THEATRE.

Mr.. JOHN DILLON AT THE PARK THEATRE.
Mr. John Dillon. a comedian who brings with him TO
New York excellent reputation from the West, APP
peared last evening two characters He had previously
made favorable impression by his performance in
'Crucble,n and IL hoped would show greater
comic powers with fuller opportunity He chose for
what might be called his debut in New York the
comedy of "A Widow Hunt' and the farce OF
''My Turn Next" and obtained a popular
cess. The audience seemed much entertained by
his Major De Boots and with his Twitters
and he called before the the end Of the
first play. If laughter and applause sufficient TO
satisfy actor Mr. Dillon should have been quite
tent last night
But we cannot find in Mr.. Dillon's acting the real
elements of mirlh II is style is just hard and dry in
'The Widow Huntn IL was in "Crucible" The chart
acter OF Major De Boots is difficult TO play, for
is full Of eccentrictes and absurdities and
exaggeratons which the actor Is required to
reconcile with nature. II is impossible charac-
ter, but very unusual type. Mr. Dillon carries the
extravaganza of the part TO utterly false extreme
Instead OF humorng the folly and good OF the
redoubtable hero and making them appear
natural he contradicts the very fundamental
principles of human character He burlesques
Major De Boots throughout; his postures,
gestures and have often object consistency,
and OF the unmeanng antics, which were in
tended TO be funny, WERE in fact painful He did not
to be at home in the part but we are Ignorant
whether II IS new one In his hands
II the personaton was an experiment II
is one which would be well TO abandon.
The whole tone of the performance Of The Widow
Hunt was unworthy OF the play. 1t not
acted comedy but farce, and
with the exception Of Miss Marie Louise Miss
Maud Granger and two others, there
is little to praise in the company In the farce which
followed Mr. Dillon appeared to better advantage
The character of Twitters is full of fun, broad
and practical, and the contortions OF the
unfortunate apothecary, hs fear OF being
poisoned by his wife. and the frequent "gags"
which Mr. Dillon inserted were heartily enjoyed by
the audience This capital little piece introduced
Mr. Parsoe and Miss Annie Edmondson in lively roles
which were exceently rendered The jury room scene
In "Crucible" concluded the entertainment. which,
notwithstanding Mr.. Dllons faults, is not undeservng
of that title. II he is not first rate comedian he is
clever buresque actor, and will no doubt, succeed
better in farce where situation the point than
in comedy, which requires the truthful expression of
character
