Tony PASTOR. Entertalnmeni.


Tony PASTORS Entertainment.
Last evening McDaniels' theatre
building, on the corner Of Sixteenth
and Eddy streets, was packed from pit
to dome with people, the occasion being
that of the entertainment given by
Tony PASTORS celebrated troupe.
The combination of artists under his
charge have for SO long gratifed the
people in all parts Of the country that
our amusement loving people have been
on the tip-toe of expectation wei since
it was first announced that the troupe
would appear in our midst. 1t was
conceded on all hands that SO many
people were never before assembled In
the building. The seating capacity is
upwards Of seven hundred; every seat
in the place was taken, and at least a
hundred people stood up during the en-.
tertainment,
1t would be next to impossible for us
to mention In detail the splendid pro-
gramme presented last evening, hence
must be content with n general review.
What the people saw last night simply
added to the already splendid reputa-
tion which the performers have for so
long a time enjoyed.
From the opening to the close there
was presented an excellent exhibition
Of character acting, amusing situations,
original and very witty sayings,
which kept the audience in a roar of
laughter.
The orchestra, under the management
Of Prof. II. Dyring, discoursed most
excellent music; a feature which never
fails to add materially to performances
Of that character.
The audience is indebted to Mr..
Frank Girard, the excellent stage man.
ager and pains,taking actor, for the ad-
mirable name in which the perform
ances were conducted. The unusually
lengthy programme was rushed right
along without the delays so often per-
ceptible between acts.
Tony PASTORS portfolio was replete
with witty sayings, and entirely new
songs, which were so acceptable that he
was called out three times by the en-
thusiastic audience.
The Irwin Sisters, young, handsome,
sprightly, with excellent voices, sang
well and danced gracefully.
Bryant as the King, and Hoey as the
Emperor, gratifed their auditors with
musical selections on about forty instru.
ments. Mr.. Bryant, especially, WOE
new laurels by his marvellous imitation
on the Cornet of Levy. His represent
alton of the camp reveille attracted
universal attention.
As a ventriloquist, Harry Kennedy
is the best we have ever witnessed, and
he created an abundance of mirth by
his laughable decisions with his funny
little wooden-headed family.
Barry's amusing sketch, 1.-THE Com
ing Man," which, by the way, was the
first piece on the bill, served as an ex-
cellent introductory to the whole. AS
an Ethiopian delineator, Barry is ''way
up"
One of the attractive features of the
evening was the sketch, '.Stage Struck p
participated in by Charles S. Rogers,
Miss Matte Vickers and Frank
| Girard.
Watson and Ellis "Dutch Decep.
tions," in which were introduced
changes, songs, dances and eccentrici.
ties, were special favorites.
The Fountainbleaus, two fairy little
girls, in their amusing sketches, songs,
Duets and medleys; Harry and John
Kernel, the delineators of Irish char
acter; Emerson and Clark and the
DAILY Brothers, bore conspicuous parts
in the programme. z
The entertainment closed with Harry
Watson's original sketch, 1.-THE Dutch
mans Wife"
1t was an excellent show, everybody
present was delighted, land we hope
Tony and his folks will come and see
us again.
