METROPOLITAN THEATER.-A much larger
audience was present at the theater last
evening-indeed, a fine house. The play was
an odd but sparkling comedy, entitled THE
Girls, in which Jeffreys Lewis appeared, SC
completely disguised by new manner and
method that it was difficult to recognize her.
G.. B. Bishop, the excellent low comedian,
had the really mirthful part, and made it a
pronounced success. 1t was an overdrawn
picture, but a strong one, and needed to be
set out in glaring colors to make it, as it was,
keen criticism upon a class all too large.
Mr.. 0'Neil had very pleasing part, which
was presented with the finish and exactpess
characteristic of him, but did not bring him
out in his strength. Tonight will be pre-

a play which drew largely in San Fran
cisco, and aroused quite a little wal

nings, comedian of much prominence. The
management adheres to the Baldwin Theater

the people do not avail of it much, and
the result is that auditors get seats quite as
well as if reserved. The company is one OF
the best that has beer here in long time
and worthy of full houses.
