''sAINrs AND sINEKRs' AT r1Kx's.


The first production in this city OF
saints and Sinners" Manager NuneEs
new play, was given last night and the oc-
cssion was also taken advantage of to give
the Major testimonial benefit. An audi
ence fair in size and of excellent judgment
and taste was on hand and the verdict was
decidedly in favor of the piece. Saints
and sinners" has been very fully described
in these columns and little more need now
be said than that the play comes pretty
fully up to what has already been said for
it
The plot is intricate, but full OF interest,
and the dialogue is entertaining without
having in it single Objectionable sentence.
While we have no idea that Saints and
Sinners" is going to take the country by
great drama of the age, it is nevertheless,
a very cleverly written play that will prove
highly successful and will rank with the
best of the dramas of the present day. 1t
is clearly the work OF a gentleman of schol-
such man may feel proud to see produced
on the stage.
Saints and Sinners" will be given every
IASAb buI6 WCth hUu a. mhkAuCCd w CuhSo
day and Saturday afternoons.
ADA GRAY AT THE GRAND.
THE New Magdalen." dramatized from
Wilkie Collins novel, was presented by
Ada Gray and company at the Grand
Opera-house last night. The play is one of
great force and was made familiar by such
actresses as Clara Norris Mrs. Macauley
and Charlotte Thompson. Ada Gray has
not been here since the season that the
Grand first opened. She is good actress
and plays the character of Mercy Merrick"
with excellent effect.
She has improved very much since she
was last here, both in appearance and in
dramatic power. The company shows pretty
fair material, but the members are not 50
well up in their parts as they should be.
The 'New Magdalen" will be presented
again tonight. Wednesday matinee, "East
Lynne" and only 25 cents admission to all
parts of the house. Wednesday evening and
Saturday matinee, Camille"
