English critics applied the same structure IN MI

comedy want the fun to be pungent. pointed ana

more muscle. more facial play. more enort

recently of the Bowery With low prices and fairly
attractive features it is the aim of this gentleman
to restore what was once a favorite place OF
amusement to something like its old glory. The
performances OF the evening. however, even making
due allowance for the deficiencies incident to first
night, were not fuly equal to the expectations Of
the cultured portion of well disposed
audience "Mitt is story founded on life

scenes to keep the gallery gods busy in
applause. The play contains several strong
parts. but of these only two were acted with 1.-THE
art that copies nature. One is that or Mitt.
the other. Billy. the negro character, assumed by
Mr.. Louis j. Mestayer. Miss Yeamans Is
young. personally attractive, versatile, sings
mildly and sweetly. dances well, and delivered her
dialogue with archness which from the be-
ginning invested her with the chief interest
the central figure of the play. The latter is much
better than most of Its kind. While the plot has
the true Bowery smack, the language abounds in
bon mots, bits of humor and just enough OF senti-
ment, although occasionally out OF place, to keep
would make it more successful, and the
author would then have reason to be
ashamed of his work. Mr. J. w. Summers, who
interpreted the part of Ned Wilton, lacked both the
emphasis and elocution which are expected from
border hero and while sometimes picturesque by
virtue of stage situations, failed in making the
artistic impression that ought to be the natural
outgrowth of the character. The performance was
not concluded until nearly midnight. 1t was pre-

migration in increasing numbers, and the ruddy
tint caught by mountain and seashore gave its
healthy glow to faces lit up by constant laughter.
That we still early in the theatrical season was
evinced by the number OF artists present
who enjoyed the fun though they had
never beon behind the scenes. II is needless to
say that Brother Sam met with his old time success;
that every point which Mr.. Sothern made was

the new corners whom Mr.. sothern has brought from
the now scattered company of the old Haymarket

The performance OF last evening, which may
hasten to say was generally excellent gives clear
intimation how thickly Mr.. Sothern Is laying
color upon his impersonations. Perhaps when the
late Mr.. John Oxenford, some fourteen years ago,
handed over tais play to Mr. Sothcrn he had
dim perception that 1t would go on being Sothern-

little puzzled to recognize in the roaring farce OF

tickled the Haymarket audiences. What this
daring comedian did with the "Prompter's
