MINNIE PALMER's BOARDING SCHOOL"
Though the weather was very bad Min
ME Palmer opened Monday night to an I'M
mense house, and business has been very
fine all the week. The Boarding SCHOOL,

fnn, and seems to meet public demand.

sprightly little actress of the Lotta school,

TO her other qualifications. The Boarding
School" will be presented to-day, matinee

- RIUE's SURPRISE PARTY.
Next week we are to have Rice's Surprise
Party, of which We have heard and read SO
much. The entertainment is described as
"re6ned extravaganza" and the piece
which will be presented here is called
"Revels." 1t combines bright and funny
points, brilliant scenery and fine music. If
the half that has been said of it be true the
entertainment is one of the prettiest to
which the public has been invited for years.
ln bis announcement Mr., Rice SAYS; THE
company is the largest and most complete
ever organized in this country, and the
characters fit the artists as though especial
ly written for them. Over one hundred
auxiliaries have been engaged for the spec
tacaar scene, and each appropriately and
handsomely costumed."

MISS cAvENDTsH AS LADY cLANcARTY."
Miss Ada Cavendish, supported by
very fine company, has been playing at
Pike'sthis week, appearing every night in
the thrilling historical play Lady Clan
carty.." The piece is one of great interest,
and gives opportunity for a fine display of
hjstrionic ability, such as Miss Cavendish
possesses to degree equaled by scarcely a
single actress OF the present day. She has
. fine voice, beautiful stage manners and is
o most thorough mistress of rhetoric. In
the emotional parts she is especially fine,
throwing natural fervor into the character
that gives it realism of thrilling excel
lence. She enjoys the advantage jim this
engagement of a fine support all the char
acters being presented by artists of decided
ability and special fitness for the parts
they are cast to play. LADY Clancarty"
will be repeated at the matinee to-day and
for the last time tonight. No lover of
the drama who appreciates real excellence
and desires to encourage and enjoy the
drama at its very best, should miss this
opportunity. Next week we are to have
Miss Cavendish in two other characters.
Monday night she will play
'BEATK1cE' In MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. ~
This is really the most beautiful OF,
Shakspeare's comedies and was great IA:
verite with old-time theater-goers before
the "Troubadour-Hobby" furore had de-
mOraiized the public taste and made it
hard to find an audience to really appre-
ciate such work. When last playe in
this city by Mr.. Booth and Mrs. Macauev,
it crowded Woods Theater till not another
person was permitted to go inside 1t is
safe to say that the elegant bits of humori
have never been given with greater effect
than they will be By the following strong
cast:
