 AMERICAN THEATRE.
 Another instantaneous success scored at the American Theatre last evening by the l new company which opened there. Laughter and applause were frequent, and 8 more l thoroughly satisfied audience it would be difficult to find. The shows at the American Iva hnt ic I11 meritorious and should be seen by all who enjoy hearty laugh or good music. The most notable feature are Jones and Monta- que, Ashley and Hess and Mack and Marston. But the hit of the evening made by Yale and Decker in their comedy of t'The Two Married Men. HThe piece is without doubt the best and funniest ever seen here, and is so full of fun and excitement that the audience are kept in a continual roar of laughter from it's commencement to it's close. Yale and Decker are wonderful comedians, and never lose 8 point, and have the merit of not only being funny but also original. If you want good laugh go to the American to night.
 THE EQUINE PARADOX.
 large number of people were at the Grand Opera House last evening to see Pro- lessor Bartholomew's wonderful horses per- form, and they were astonished by the in telligence and docility of the beautiful ani nals. The horses introduced on their way to school, running, jumping and frolick ing like children. At school variety of interesting features shown, such as one of the animals acting as monitor, another taking the professors hat and bring ing 8 chair, while third describes figure eight, turning to the right and left accord ing to command A grand tableau is given in which the whole school, at the word of command, take the various places as. signed and hold them until ordered to their places murder trial, with the animals as judge, sheriff and jury, forms an attractive feature. The drill, in which the animals go through the various movements with the skill of well trained soldiers, is pleasant af fair The performance concludes with war scene, in which the horses fire off guns No such performance has been seen in this city, and it offers great attractions to lovers of an ! imals. The entertainment will be given ev- cry evening this week and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons It deserves and will doubtless receive liberal patronage.
 VIC.
 s'Vic'' made it's e71t7ee into the list of the thousand and one different comedy dramas which are constantly being presented for the | approval of the public, at Carll's Opera House last evening. If it succeeds it will be an ex- ception to the rule, for where becomes
 famous there are countless numbers that fail For an initial performance there must be great allowances made, and often that which at first seems to be void of all dramatic merit suddenly leaps into great popularity when 1 its good qualities are thoroughly brought l out. Miss Alma Stuart Stanley, who ap- l peared in the title role, is undoubtedly yer satile actress of marked talent and we have no doubt that she will make her mark | in the theatrical world. Her appearance last evening in the character of young man was as complete and natural as could be desired. l The gestures, walk and entire action were in ! accordance with the young gent of the period. Her costumes, both in male and fe. I male attire, were elegant, and her changes were marked for their rapidity. She is tall in stature, of fine figure, and prepossessing in general appearance. At the close of the l third act she made striking appearance in a tableau which aroused much enthusiasm. That the performance of the company as a 1 toned, for more amused audience we have rarely seen, and when the pretty slittle doll,'' who was too amiable and good 1 natured, exclaimed, "Oh, my heart !" the l audience broke into 8 roar. The play is simply framework in which Miss Stanley has an opportunity to present her specialties l but, without 8 reconstruction beginning at l both ends, it will fail to show her off to good 1 Vantage. That Miss Stanley has number 1 of enthusiastic friends was attested by the elegant flowers that were bestowed upon her 1 last evening. They were probably the fin | est that were ever presented to any actress in | this city The last piece given at the close consisting of roses and other choice flowers l was massive bed, we should judge about l four feet in length by two in width, with the 1 word ''Vic'' in bright red immortelles, raised on framework over the center. This even- ing ''Vic" will be presented again.
