RICE'S EyANGELINE TROUPE.

| 4AhV OP0Ao-AouSo'
RICE's EvANGEL1NE TROUPE.
This excellent burlesque company have
presented "Evangeline" to only fair busi-
ness this week. The troupe is strong one
and the popular extravaganza is presented
in fine style. The music is well rendered
the artists are suited to their parts and the
stage set ing and scenery are appropriate
and beautiful. The only reason for not
having full houses must be found in the
fact that the public has had too much bur-
esuue business of late 1t is certainly an
attractive and laughable entertainment,
and better than when we last saw it.
The two performances to-day close the
engagement. At the matinee this after
noon "Evangeline," and tonight the su-
uerb musical extravaganza dramatized from
Lord Byron's exquisite poem, "Corsair,"
| by Mr. Bruugh (which, under the name of
Conrad and Medora," enjoyed run of 500
nights in London), entitled Conrad, the
Corsair and His Blooming Bride"
