MINNIKPALNER's "BoARDISe-scHooL" AT THE
-- GRAND. .s,..
The Grand Opera house last night had one
of the finest Monday night houses Of the
whole season. Notwithstanding the in.
clement weather about every seat in the
house was taken, and standing room was at
q premium. Just what brought out the
crowd it is hard to tell. Neither the piece
nor the star are very we'll known here
Minnie Palmer is cute little actress, after
the Lotta class and her character in the
piece Is that OF q spoiled child sent to
beSfding-school to be tanned.
The parts which she plays and the Incl
dents of the school make up the piece.
Songs are thrown in without stint and
there is good deal of all kinds of fun.
People laughed immensely and the piece,
judging from the good humor of the audi
ence, may be put down as q success. 1t is
after the Tourist and Hobbies school
with very much the same manner OF things
to smile about.
| ADA oAvENpIsH AT Pixies.
The audience at Pixies Opera-house last
night enjoyed q very excellent entertain
ment-a fine actress IN really good play.
Lady 6lancarty" is character in which
such %an Nartist as Miss Cavendish is seen at
herEbest. 1t Is full of interest from first to
last. tfhe scenes are laid in England, in
the time Of William of Orange, shortly
after the death of Queen Mary. The plot
turns upon "DonOugh Mccarthy, Lord
Clancartv," an Irish nobleman, who,
having fed to France with James l., bad
returned to England.
Landing on the southeast coast Of Eng
land, near the rendezvous OF gang OF SNUG
glers, "Clancarty" and his party there met
Lord Charles Spencer" accompanied by
his sister ('Lady Clancarty") and Lady
Betty Noel" Here husband and wife
forced in mere childhood into marriage
of convenience met for the first time in
ten years. neither knowing the other, and
here the plot is agreed on without "Clan-
carty's' consent, in which all the interest
Of the play centers-the assassination Of the
King. .... ....
Here, too, an attempt il mede by the vii
lain Of the story-"C "Careell' or Goodman
with the aid of the smugglers to abdnct
both the ladies' This is frustrated by the
timely arrival Of ''Clancarty," who, hearing
! the shreks and cries of the women, rushes
to their rescue, and for the second time
. illustrates the schemer, who already bore
the nickname of Scum" in verifcation ol
his general character The plot for the as
sassination of the King 10 then disclosed,
. and rejected by the hero.
All parties then hurry away to London,
where "Clancarty' finds bis way to the
Kings presence, and t., him reveals the
. plans Of his confederates, with the express
stipulation that no names are to be asked
and no arrests made unless the contem.
plated attack on the palace is made.
The King agrees to this, and
while chiding 'Clancarty" on his
hostility to him, "Csrdeil' is annou need as
visitor to 'Earl Portland" to furnish him
the same information and with it the
names ofal the conspirators, among them,
: "Clancarty." This being made known to
the King he warns "Cancarty" that if his
name is among those of the assassins, he
had better leave England at once.
Instead OF caring for himself the Irish
soldier went to the rendezvous of his con.
federates and determined to share their
fate whatever it might be. Accordingly he
was there when the Kings guard comes to
make the arrest but fighting his way
through the company, he escapes to the
chamber of Lady Clancarty," with whom
lie had arranged private meeting in order
TO avow himself and claim her as his wife.
Pursued by the soldiers. he is fired at
several times, but manages to gain the bal
cony and force his way into her bed-cham-
ber, where he falls exhausted.
A suggestive remark of Lady Betty
; Noel" who was with Lady Clanoarty"
when this rude entrance upon her private
apartments was made, compels an avowa
by "Clancarty" Of their relations, and
very touching scene ensues. Then succeed.
the arrest by the guards, guided to the sa
cred retreat by Lord Spencer" The tra
of the conspirators follow, and the day TO
the execution is decided upon. Spencer
\ prevents his sister from communication,
}. with the King in behalf of her husband, bu
o at last the smuggler's wife visits her, learn
her purpose, procures disguise for her, il
which, as q washerwoman, she visits he
husband in prison, cheers and solaces him
and then by the aid Of Lady Betty Noel,
y makes her way to the Kings chamber
i where she has very touching interview
, and secures her husbands pardon.
