THE TRELoAR COMPANY DIDN'T COME
The Treloar Company, billed for an ap-
pearance at Staub's Opera house last night
and tonight, failed to arrive. After con-
siderable effort and telegraphing, Manager
Fritz Staub was unable to obtain any in
formation from them, and the inference is
that they have given us the go-by.
EsMERALDA.
Wilmington On. c. Star Another large
audience filed the OPERA house last night to
witness the second appearance of the Mad
ison Square Theatre Company, this time in
'tEsmeralda." 1t was the first presentation
of the piece here, and it was received with
the warmest favor. ''Esmeralda" is a COM
edy in four acts, with an interesting original
plot, written in a bright and crisp style, with
many strong situations, all its parts harmoni-
GUS, and the story evenly and smoothly un-
folded, holding always the attention more and
more enchanted until the happy finale
1t was put upon the stage in appropriate
style, and all of its strong points and beau
ties well brought out by the caste present
ing it. MIR. McClannin, Miss Gilbert and
Mrs. BurreH obtaining especial and de-
served distinction for the versatility and ex-
cellence they displayed Miss Clara Spencer,
who took the part of Nora, was very win
ming and pleasing in her impersonation, and
easily displayed marked ability as an actress.
MIR. F. N. Burbeck was again fortunate in
obtaining the applause of the audience, and
did himself full justice as Estabrook. The
other characters were very satisfactorily
sustained on the whole, and the perform
ance was finished entertainment that was
appreciated and applauded repeatedly.
This delightfully."- popular play will be
presented at Staub's Opera house Monday
night, by superb company from Madison
Square theatre, New York.
MISS ADA GRAY.
From the Richmond (Va.) Wing, Oct 3,
We were not prepared to say until last
| night that our theatre was too small; but ii
is true. Miss Ada Gray in the dual roles OF
| Lady Isabel and Madam Vine in ''East
| Lynne" drew the largest house that has ever
been moved to enjoyment, and by 8 O'Clock,
even before the foothghts were turned up
| to their brilliant points, the building was
| densely packed from pit to dome, and ladies
| we're standing on their little feet vainly hop
| ing for some Chesterfeldian to give up
seat, and yet string of anxious would be
| spectators rushed up the steps. great
many ladies went in, surveyed the brilliant
audience, looked sad and retired Around
| the semicircle of the second floor stood 6
Gordon of gay youth, and eventually there
was no room to stand.
The Audience was truly, billiant one
| and the whole face of it beamed with de
| light when Miss Gray appeared The
world loves emotion; and loves to see its eff
fects upon the actions of men and women
and although they may weep over the faith
full acting of Miss Gray tonight, and al
thoukh they have read east Lynne" ovel
and over again, yet they will 60 again
and never tire. Miss Gray portrayed tn,
character of the jealous wife as few car
equal and none excel Her rendering make,
East Lynne" new thing of actual lif.
that impresses itself deeply in the hearts o.
the audience, and the whole peace is jus
what it can only be made by most diligen
study and true conception and exquisite ap
appreciation of the spirit of the play.
1t will be repeated tonight, but to b.
sure of being able to see it get your reserv
ed seats early. The entire company is ex
