"POp," though written by the veteran play
wrighter George Fawcett Rowe, is merely
hicc for the introduction of specialtes by the
actors who essay the characters it contains.
1t therefore follows that the merit of its pro-
duction is due solely to the performers them
selves Granting this one cannot speak too
cOmmendingly of the performance by RiCe'S
Surprise Party at Turner hall last light. From
beginning to end ii was replete with witticiSmS
and with pleasing arias from the comic operas
and the audience was kept cOnVulSed with
laughter. All the actresses are pretty and
their attires imOst becoming Though a disre
gard for cOnVcntiOnality was shown at times,
it was no more marked than was that by sew
eral of the artistes connected with the comic
opera companies recently here. Miss Kate
CuStletOn earned raptllrOus applause for her
enhancing manners and her clever rendition
of several songs, and Miss Perry, Miss Stembler
and the other ladies were far more dangerous
to the jeunesse dOrce of the audience than
could possibly be the widest kind of 4 Texas

tavOrably known that mention of more than
his name is unnecessary, and Mackay, Doyle
and DUNCAN were acceptable. After all the
opera and the drama Of this season, " Pop is
billed at Il most Opportune time. large
audience should attend this evening.
GEISTINGER AT HOUSTON.

weston have had some trouble in securing
Madam GeiStinger, and the conditions upon
which she will come to Houston is upon the
guarantee of Sl,;DO net profit. Manager REILLY

this guarantee good, hence he will have to
make an appeal to the citizens in the way of
subscriptions to be able to secure the attrac-
ton. Besides this, the French Grand Opera
company will visit Houston in February, with
Il contract to supply eighty singers upon the
stage in each chorus. These two attractions
