Cinderella at School.
The Rice Opera Comique Company APP
pesred yesterday at Leubrie's Theater in
Woolson Morse's sparkling musical farce,
Cinderella at School, before an excellent au-
dience 1t proved ts be a very pleasant
little affair, full OF fun, fire and frolic.
There was not enough cousecutiyeness about
it to cause one to feel the pang of thinking
but the pranks of the pretty school girls, the
eccentricities of "Dr. Syntax," and one or two
love episodes, go to make a very palatabls
relish. Mr.. Henry E. Dixey proved again
that he is the life of the company in his
laughabls impersouation of CDR. Syntax."
Mr.. Eugene Clark was an excellent arthur
Bicycle" and Mr.. w. H. West manly "Jack
Polo" stroke oar of the Hsrvards in the race
of 1880. Miss Rose Temples "Niobe
Marsh" Miss Carrie Z. Perkins's Psyche
Persimmons," Miss Irene Perry's "Menape
Mallow," and pretty little Jennie Calei's
"Circe SIatepencil," all deserve mention for
being complete character drawings in their
way. Cinderella at School contains some very
tuneIul airs ana some pointed cnOruseS.
The song of the Harvard boatman was gal
liant bit of melody. The introduction of
several extremely funny Rotations by MIR.
Dixey lightened the performance and in
creased its merriment.
BiIIee Taylor.
Last night the Rice Company presented
the nautical opera Btlee Taylor, for the first
time in this city, in an admirable manner to
a large audience. The opera is of the thin
eat possible character, both as to plot and as
to music, but the rendition last night was
neat and clean. Eugene Clark made good
"BilIee Taylor" Henry f. Dixey as "sir
Mincing Lane" Ed E Aiken as Christopher
Crab" George A. Schiller as "Ben Barnacle,"
w. H West as captain Felix Flapper,"
Miss Rose Temple as "Phebs," Miss Carrie
F. Perkins as "Eiiza," Miss Irene Perry
"Arabella Lane" and Miss Jennie Calef as
"Susan," charity girl, were all thoroughly
acceptable. The Calef sisters danced the
sailors Hornpipe" charmingly. The en-
gagement of the Rice Company has been q
very pleasant one, and the company is one
of the best on on the road.
