METROPOLITAN THEATEa.

Andrews Stockwells pantomime and
speciality company appeared at the Metro.
pnlitan Tneater last evening to a good house.
The pantomime presented was the time
honored " Humpty Dumpty," with the con.
ventional harlequin, columbiue and clown.
and the lean and slippered psntaloon. 1t
WAS played quite as well as by any of the
companies that have presented it here. In
addition, it is TO be said that Andy
Morris makes very superior clown, probably
the best seen here for several years Ida
Maussey is an acceptable and attractive
columbine. Much of the merrin.ent of the
piece was contributed By mere infant
dressed as clown. Incidental to the piece
number of exceedingly we'll trained dogs
were introduced, and four excellent acrobats
appeared in exercises of very superior char
acter. Charles and Carrie Moore also ap-
peared in parior skating exhibition that was
deservedly spplauied. VIII H. Bray, in an
| interlude, gave German dialect Songs and
clog dances. The performance is ore
| that is especially attractive to children,
| and those who have not forgot
ten that they once were children.
| There will be a matinee performance this
afternoon, and final entertainment, with
| change OF tricks, tonight, At 1880 this even
ing one OF the acrobats will make q tight.rOps
ascension in front of the theater. Much of
the pleasure of people in side seats was marred
last evening by the mania the stage carpen-
tsrs or scene-shifters have of pushing the tor
mentor wings so far ont upon the stage as to
cut off the view. On four occasions last
| night performers on the stage, noticing this
error, ceased their acts to push back the
wings, and just as frequently the insane
| scene shutters sent them forward again, and

| house and go upon the stage to remedy the
matter. Mr.. Simmons employees behind the
scenes, if. they ever knew, have forgotten
that the stage should be set broader st the
! front than at the rear. and that the line of
| vision from the extreme side walls should, on
| either side, take in all the stage. When the
| Bates troupe was here Mrs Bates had to per.
emptorily demand that the stage be set prop
| egly, and met with resistance in her effort to
give all spectators full view of each scene
This matter has been complained Of over snd
over again, but whoever rules OF the stage
seems to be possessed of an uncomfortable
mania for narrowing the stage front. Last
| night so gross was the offepse that scores of
people in the second circle left the side seats
and stood up near the center in order to see
the stage. The management must hereafter
| see to it that the uninterestiDg pillars painted
on the fl snding wings are kept back in the
grooves Unless he does 80 it will be duty
to warn patrons TO buy no side seats.
