The play isa strange compound Of good,
bad and Indifferent, neither hegoOd nor bad
predominating Mr.. Caufman possibly makes
as much out OF the. principal character as
possible, and some OF the other people In the
company certainly make more out Of their
roles than any one would believe TO be posi-.
BILE who had not seen them perform. The
entire dramd-if II Is drama-is so strained
and unnatural that It would be difficult to
find standard by which to judge 1t. 1t will
be repeated this evening, when our readers
will have u chance to determine for them.
selves whether there issuilicient merit In the
play or players to win anything like favor
from the public.
The Spirits" were badly given away at the
Academy OF Music last night. The audience
was not as large as the merits or interest OF
the performance would justify the manage
ment in expecting, but those who were pres.
ent were pretty we'll pleased. Most OF the
manifestations" have the charm OF novelty,
and the avowed trickery deprives the per
Torrance OF any appearance Of humbuggery.
Prof Waite was littleStoo confident In his
defiance Of the committee. Had he been a
pretended medium be would certainly have
come to grief, lie exposed Just enough to
add to the interest Of the performance, and
promises for this evening complete expose
OF the remainder Of the performance, with
some additional feats OF interest. No doubt
the house will be filled.
Hyde and Behman's "Muldoon's Picnic
will hold the boards at the Opera House to-
morrow evening, Tickets are now selling al
Wilson Il Banners. A St Louis paper says
fuTIAy thing OF the week. "Muldoon's Pic.
mic" is unadulterated fun. The house was
full one, and deserved to be so. There /.
more meat in one scene Of this farcical
comedy than In all the ''Belles of the
Kitchen" rubbish which has been shot on tc
the stage since the NOkes family originated
the stuff Harry KernelI aud Charlie Reed
as "Muldoon' and "Mulcaheyn prove them
selves two comedians Of great ability, and
with the assistance OF Jennie Saterlee, Charlie,
Evans, James Miles, Little Rosebud, Dave
Walling, Barney Reynolds John L. Hen
shaw, and May Ten Brock, Kitty O'Neil
Fred Bryant, VIM. Hoey, and Others make
Hyde and Behmans comedy, "Muldoon'.
Picnic one OF the very best comedies before
the public.
Tie utterly utter lecture OF Kemple at the
Opera House on Thursday night Is an as
sured fact Knee brooches, blonde wigs, sun
flowers and lilies Jake says It will be the
funny effort OF his life. The novelty OF the
subject and the curiosity to see the rotund
Colonel in full aesthetic costume will no doubt
fill the Opera House. Tickets on sale al
Wilson & Banners music slore tomorrow
morning.
The benefit concert for Madame NJ. Sachse
at the Academy OF Music Friday evening
next bids fair 10 be notable musical event.
The programme is judiciously arranged, and
the names Of the performers guarantee Of
its proper rendition.
The Royal Hand Bell Ringers and Cleo
Men, who give two performances atthe Acad.
envy on Saturday, are highly spoken OF every
