The gay social world, Is far as this city Is
concerned, Is almost At standsilli in fact,
itsesms to be retrOgradipg. Outside otmsk-
ing social calls now and then on Wheelings
charming and fascinating ladies the beaux
show no life or activity. True, occasionally
a tea party varies the monotony, but private
social gatherings, unless 1t be on the Island,
are seldom heard Of, and such o thing as a
big hop has not even been Whispered: THE
German" seems played out, although few
weeks ago there was some talk Of starting u
young folks German" whether It will ma
ierialiEe or not remains to be seen, When
one compares the present with three years ago
the change Is great and to be wondered At
and deplOred, One or two weddings are be-
ing looked forward TO, and preparations are
being made for one or two little society
events during the holidays, but outside OF
these and the theatrical attractions there Is
very little to anticipate.
NEXT wEEK At THE OPERA HOUSE.
Next week will be lively one in local
theatrical circles There will be n performs
ance at the Opera House every evening but
one. On Tuesday night Minnie Palmer and
Mr.. Graham commence two nights en-
gagement in their popular comedy, my
Sweetheart Tickets will be placed on sale
this morning ut 8 o'clock at Wilson Il
says OF their play: Besides being pure in
dialogue and action, and having an interest
ing plot, the play seems to have been written
to show to advantage the speCialties OF Miss
Minnie Palmer and Mr.. K, +. Graham. Miss
Palmer aud Mr.. Graham are both Balti-
moreans. The former made her first appear
anCe at FOrd's u few years ago, and the latter
began his theatrical career as aCall-bOy under
Mr. FOrd's management, when Mr., Thps A.
Hall was his stage manager Miss Palmer
has pretty face and symmetrical figure,
and her arcllness and winsOme ways remind
the spectator Of I.Otta and Maggie Mitchell,
while her singing Is far superior TO that OF
either OF them, Mr.. Graham has all the
broad humOr Of Joe Emmet, and at times the
deicaCy Of Jefferson. The songs introduced
In my Sweetheart" are new, bright and
pleasing. The popular "Gobble Song" from
the Mascotte, was sung In the first act with
more sparkle and tenderness than II ever re-
ceived here. Mr., Graham's laughing song
In the same art, made decided hit, The
audience was completely captured by Miss
Palmer, and the applause was loud and
frequent throughout the performance.
On Thursday evening Frank Mayo appears
in Hamlet. His company Is notable for its
size forty performers being in 1t, as well us
for Its excellence, The public are so used to
Mr.. Mayo us Dayy Crockett that they may
doubt his ability 70 do the character Of the
melancholy prince justice. The st, Paul
Pioneer Press says Mr.. Frank Mayo, US "Ham-
lot, last evening exceeded the most Sanguine
expectations, and the large audience was
more than gratihed by the splendid acting
Mr.. MayO's Hamlet" Is most scholarly
production, giving evidence Of deep study,
To which he has brought the fire Of true dra'
matte genius, His conception Of the character
Is, in u great measure Original-as much so,
perhaps, rs that Of any great actor. Ills nc.
ton and speech in the scene where he first
behOlds his fathers ghost was Original-and
we are constrained to say, UntquGled Want
OF time prevents a more lengthy notice. To
he brief Mr.. Mayo Is one Of the most
talented and finished actors on the American
stage, and We trust this fact will be appreCiat-
cd by our citizens,
on Friday and Saturday Mitchell's pleas.
IRE party In "Our GOblins,n will hold the
boards. This organization Is said to have
been greatly improved since II visited Wheel
ing last season, The New York Erening HelrS
recently said Of II: One OF the most ex-
hilarating performances Of the season Is at
present enjoying the fun Of the brightest art
iSts, At Haverly's theatre, In the musical OK.
tFaYnganga Of "QuT GQblipS" Every one Of
them Ii famous for melody and hunioF. The
number Is small but their vitality, mirth and
merit are uncqualed and unaPproachable.
They will continue To delight large audiences
ut this house until further notice.
