GRAND OPERA, HOUSE.
An audience as remarkable for intelii
gence as for its size last night gave
most cordial welcome to Mrs. Alice
Dunning Lingard and the excellent COM
pany hat supports her. The new play,
| Heart and crown" written BY Mir,
A. d. Gordon expressly for the Lingards,
was presented for the hrst time In this
city. 1t is historical play OF decided
merit, founded upon Incidents In the
eyentful lite of Mary, Queen Of Scots,
Mrs. Alice Dunning Lingard in
iull play Ter her ability as really nnt
actress. Sue treads the boards, every
look and movement a Queen, and seldom
| have the touching incIuents in the life oil
the ill-nsed Mary been'more graphically
written Than In this play, and we car
hardly conceive how they could be mors
beautifully and truthlully portrayed
than is done In the splendid acting Of
Mrs. Lingard. The play covers only ths
early life OF the Queen, ending with the
death OfDarnley and the Queel's escape
to England, but it Is that part
OF the life most fraught with
lubSlSob, Luc hiuu
pleases as we'll as enlists the whole al.
tention. Not only have we the peerless
Alice Dupning L1ngard but all tue parts
in the drama are well played. The
"BothwelF' of Nr. James NJ. Hardie
was especially fine. Mr.. Hardie played
his part we'll and dressed as well as ne
played. The farce, "Peter White,"
with which the performance concluded,
with MIR. William Horace LingarI In
tue title role, was tmmense. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Lingard are the same fua
artists as in days gone by. Neither
looks q day older than when they vera
more familiar. Same bill tonight and
tomorrow night. Thursday evening,
gards' benefit, "Led Astray;" batarday
Matinee, "La Tentation," Saturday
evening, "The Vesta" and "Sir Simon
Simple"
The intention Of the Wednesday matt
nee has been abandoned, it being too
nard on Mrs. Lingard to appear In suca
characters as she plays every night and
at two matinees during the week. The
only matinee will, therefore, be on Sat
urday.
ADAH RICHMOND AT wooD's.
The Adah Richmond ExUravaganza
ana comedy Company opened to a

sic Parker, Miss Sadie MantInot, Mi,s
Julia Emmons, Mr. Nose W. Fiske, Mr.

Many Of these are well.known favor.
lies, and the new candidates for favor
proved themselves worthy t the places
Lhey held. There is no plot to speak of
in this, and none in burlesque is needed,
but the dialogue is bright, aud it teens
with nice selections aud sharp reparsee.
In word, 1t is full Of iun from ,giu-
ming to end. Mr.. Nose Fisk and Mr. W.
Z. Sheldon were warmly welcomed by
their old friends in this city.
