AMUSEMENT NOTES.


weeks engagement of single artist has
proved profitable one. Mr.. John Nc
Cullough has packed the Opera house
every evening during the week with au-
diences as critical and at the same time
as appreciative as he has found in any
section of the country. He has given us
Virginius, Othello, Damon, Richard,
Claude Melnotte and Spartacus. In ali
OF these characters Mr.. Mccullough has
proved himself thorough artist, and
acquitted himself well But this is not
praise enough. In Virginius, Othello
and Damon he was Incompatible. AS
Claude Melnotte he was manly, noble
lover, without beng at all subservient
AS Spartacus he was noble, upright
man, and in his personation of the char
acter won the heartiest applause.
For the future Manager Haines has pro-
cured unusually brilliant attractions, On
the 10th and Goth the Furnished Rooms
to Rent company will give us a brief
season of fun. Following this Buffalo
Bill will give series of entertainments,
which will no doubt be appreciated for
their worth.
Among the attractions that Manager
Haines will be ableto offer to the st.
Paul public will be the following In
tragedy, Edwin Booth, the greatest liv-
ing tragedian; Thomas Keene, the young
est but yet one of the best of the modern
school of the drama; Frank Mayo, an
actor of long and high standing, who has
quit the melo- drama for the tragic; Fan
ny Davenport, one of the prime favorites
east and west, who will play in only
tragic roles the present season, and Miss
Henrietta Vaders, who won such high
distinction as the principal support of
Mr.. Keene last season. In the ! line of
opera we. will have the Hess Acme
Opera company. the Emma Abbott Eng
lish Opera company, and the Boston
Ideal Opera company, with a possibility
that Strakosch and the Mapleson COM
panies may be induced to come this way.
In comedy there will be the best attrac-
tions that the country can afford. The
best combinations organized in the Uni

attractive in the history of St. Paul.
