 AMERICAN THRATER.
 The attraction at the American Theater for this week Is Mir. George A.

New scenery and properties have been prepared and every detail attended to carefully to make the piece success. In speaking of the drama the New York HerdId says: 1.-The play is an unusually good one of it's class. The sequence of events is log ical. The dialogue is clear, concise and to the point The interest is intense and we'll sustained throughout; and the situations are powerful, natural and picturesque" There will also be a fine variety olio by number of the best known artists in the profession.
 PENIKEEsE.
 The Opera House was again completely filled by 8 highly gratifed audience last evening, when "Penikeese," the original comic opera, was reproduced. The results h oI, r~7l ol amateur performance were absent in this case, as were also the causes which lead to them. No disappointment was felt, but on the other hand expressions of surprise and qualification at the marked excellence of the performance were general. The slight additions and alterations that have been made are Improvements, but the first performance was all and more than could have been expected from an ama- teur organization. The part for the China man has been enlarged somewhat and more dialogue has been introduced. Miss Lake, Miss Gaffney and Miss Phelps were success full in their characters, and their sweet sing ing aroused great enthusiasm and hearty en- cores. Miss Lake and Miss Phelps received handsome baskets of flowers and Miss Gaff- ney 8 most marked compliment, the audience breaking into applause before note of her charming solo "The Marguerite" had escaped from her throat. Mr. H. l.. Williams sus- tained the character of the millionaire very acceptably. "Dr. McBosh" was very cleverly done as heretofore by Mir. J. B. Woodward, and MT. H. M. Hoyt and Mir. F. H. Shell were also successful. Improvements were noticed in ''make-ups," and stage effects were heightened and made more complete. This evening the last presentation will be given, and all who have not yet witnessed the per formance should make special effort to do so as they will find it very charming enter tainment. Aside from the fact that the pro- ceeds are to be turned over to the Yale navy, it is in every way worthy of the support of the public.
