TIE MetrODOtitn7a COn1p1ny-FnnchOn, the
Crichet-U,,cte Toms Ca5tn-CliHeret
Dramatic CompGny-Breslau.
Minneapolis is still supplied with COM
plete variety of the best amusements. Last
week the Metropolitan company, during five
nights, repeated the drama of Rosedale-
always to fair, often to large audiences. The
company does what it tries to do in tie
most satisfactory manner, and is rapidly
gaining in prosperity.
FANCHoN, TIE CRICKET.
On Friday night was presented, for the
first time by this company, the play of Fam
ohon, with Grace Garland in the leading
role, ably supported and seconded by Mr..
Frederick Bryton as Landry.
THE PLAY
is one of those pleasantly emotional dramas
of the French school, keeping the feelings of
the listener constantly on the alert. and
keeping the Observation-Disclosures of gushing
maidens and callow youth constantly in the
vicinity of their OPTICS From beginning
to end it makes prominent the virtues of
poverty and purity-only at the close is the
heroine proved to be heiress to fine prop
erty, and the delighted lover awazes from
twelve long months of misery to find himself
the capitalist of his country neighborhood.
and the chosen lover of beautiful bride
really too much of q good thing to often dis.
cover in actual life.
MISS oARTLAND,
In the character of Fanchon, evinces talent
for that kim of character of high
order. Perfectly natural, unassuming,
petite, bewitching, she takes cap
tive the hearts of her audience
at the very moment she loses her captive
pet chicken (Which on Friday evening
missed its call and incontinently flew out
into the audlence). If we should offer a
criticism, in kindness, the GLOBE would say,
possibly somewhat too hysterical in the
Shadow Dance for artistic eyes and ears.
Aside from this slight defect, Maggie
| Mitchell herself was never more beautiful,
moro natural or more generally effective in
| the rendition of the character of the charm
| ing young French maiden She made
| more admirers in Fanchon than in any other
| role she has assumed since she has been in
our midst.
FRED BRYToN
in person and talent was the very impersona-
oAoA ~ 'No 1AAuoE'O1ASlolu, courageous
Sundry, though the character does not fit
him as we'll as the dragon captain in Rose
dale. Mr.. B. has the elements of growth in
him, and if he is not heard from in the fu-
ture he will have no one to blame but him
self.
The other members of sthe troupe, espe-
cially Irving in Didier, acquitted themselves
admirably. Irving is one of those universal
geniuses who tit naturally into any part.
UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
The GLOBE would recommend to Mr..
Murray, after his week of Uncle Tom, to
try Fanchon a few nights longer, as the
excellent audiences for the matinee and last
night must have convinced him that the
beautiful play has made a decided hit. Next
week every night, and for Saturday matinee,
will be presented Uncle TOMS Cabin, with
the full strength of the company, and a
large supernumerary crowd, including col
ored Jubilee singers. This will be a rich treat,
as no company approaching the Metropolitan
IN strength has ever attempted it in tEis CITY.
MELISSA BREsLAU.
At the Academy of Music to morrow even
ing Melissa Breslau is advertised to open a
three nights engagement, supported by the
Edward Clifford dramatic company. Miss
B. is stranger to Minneapolis audiences,
