| HAVRRLEY's NNW MAsTOD0N MINsTRRLs.
The name Off. H. HaVerly ia becoming idenH.
cafwith great theatrical enterprises His latest
is the New MastodOn Minstrels, which will be at
sohaeier's Opera House Thundao evening, Janu.
ary 18th. The Detroit Free Press comments upon
this company as follows:
Every seat, from the lobby OF the gallery
to the rail oil the orchestra, was occupied In every
essential the company eXcels the United Masto
don now In Europe. The programme last even.
Ing was hailed with shouts Of laughter. The
merriment was almost continuous from curtain
to curtain. TWAS early seen that Manager Mack
has undertaken to lift the performance Of this
company out ofthe rut, notable In the hrst part,
when he has introduced the merry, 'jingling
music Of the Bells Of Cornville, The first part
was handsomely set and the silk plush coats,
navy blue trowsers and patent leather shoes Of
the end men "glittered with gorgeousness," as the
tamborinist would say, The songs are new and
taking. A remarkable voice was discovered in
the first part, which quite took the audience by
storm. It's a pure soprano, and the owner oft,
Mr.. Malcolm, was vOcferously encoIed. Charley
Reynolds Frank Cushman, Harry Woodson and
Lew Simmons are all recognized as funny end
men, and San ford and Wilson, In their musical
specialties, are intensely amusing. The songs
and dances were given by team Of twelve, In
sections, as 1t were, and is one Of the hits Of the
performance. The feature Of the performance is
the clog dancing OF Cherries queen and his com.
pany of twelve clog dancers. This act is far
superior to anything else which Haverlv has ever
given his patrong. The evening closed wite
most amusing aiterpiece, and the immense au.
dience went away wearied with laughter.

Washington Daily Republican will give some idea
Of the ability OF this company:
For the sake OF making some just reflections
and comparisons, weselect the name OF Miss Lena
Miller, who sang the role of Isabella in Doctor
Of Aloantara" Here is young lady really pret.

ance, modest In manner, and imbued with true
affection and spirit for art; her voice is sweet,
clear, and at times sympathetic. In this simple
statement high but judlclous praise is included,
and here we mightstop; but Miss Mlller's presence
in opera he's significance and promise infinite.
