AMUSEMENTS
THEATRE CoMIoUE

Unprecedented success attended on the per-
formancc at the Theatre ComiQuc last week,
and it would seem as II Manager Rogers star
Of prosperity once again rises over his house.
The large audiences that nightly congrcgltc
to witness the performances demonstrated
the fact that theatre will he well patronizcd
IL the attraction Is offered. Mile Duclos
chspcroncs her blondes and appears with them
She is quick dancer, very industrious and
hard working and much Of the success of the
troupe may be credited to her individual
efforts. In her company can be found talent
of almost any description and much Of merit
| There are four sOngstrcsscs with fair voices.
Miss Alice Ridgeway is evidently one of the
| prominent singers in the quartcttc, and pos
| sesscs q voice of remarkable sweetness, and
her efforts to please met with cordial encour-
| ageinent. In addition, her lady-like manners
and modest behavior contribute to make her
| favorite with the audience. To her seems to
| have been assigned the rendition Of scrio-
| comic songs, while dressed in trunks and
tights. 1t Is evident that in the costume and
style of music she is not at home. 1t is sug-
| gested that an improvement might he effected
by permitting this lady to resume long
dresses and confne her vocalisins to ballad
| singing.
Another favorite Is Miss Winona Bridges,
| whose lady-likc department, excellent singing
and graceful dancing insures her contin-
nuace of the popularity she enjoys.
best representations are those of the "Clinging
to the Cross" by Miss Groves, and The
Power Of Love-" by Messrs Rdgeway and
| Maxwell lu those disposition is shown to
cater to the taste Of a refined audience, and
not to one demanding broadisms. As is to be
expected, these tablcanx do not receive the
applause bestowed OF the less chaste. OF the
terpsichOrian artists Miss Kate Thorp bears
OF the honors, boQuets and applause. In Ia
Minuct' she i at home aud dances with an
ease and grace most pleasing to witness. An
interesting feature Of the entertainment is the
glove exercise between Miss Rose Harand and
Mr.. Harry Franklin, which finds great favor
with the audience. The lady is an adept
with the gloves, and gives her opponent a
warm and exciting encounter.
For this week an entire new programme has
been arranged, to conclude with the newest
sensation, entitled '"rhe Sultan's Seraglio, OF
the Turkish Harcm."
