METROPOLITAN THBATER.-The Con-ique
Theater Company appeared before the foot
lights at the Metropolitan Theater last night.
The house, considering the stormy weather,
was a good one, and the applause elected
from the time the curtain raised to the close
of the performance was a sufficient guarantee
to those who appeared on the stage that their
efforts were appreciated. The negro sketch,
THE Haunted House, )" by Jerry lHart and
Charlie Merrill, was neat aud well-executed
piece of minstrelsy. Miss Mabel Rivers and
Miss May Gaylor, song and dance artists,
performed their parts well and were frequently
spplauded. The Irish comedian, Bobby Gay
lor, is an actor of no ordinary ability, and
was called before the curtain several times.
George Fairfield and Sadie Irwin appeared
in q new and original sketch. Their singing
and dancing was good, and we'll received.
very creditsbly. Gus Peters, as q sketch ar
tist, is good but his little 1l-yesr-old son is
much better-in fact, for his years, is one of
the best character performers on
the stage. His changes were made
with the greatest rspidity, his every
movement graceful, his voice strong and well
cultivated. The Devere sisters, Teresa and
Lena, sang well, and their double dance
shows much care and careful training. The
performance concluded with the laughable
farce Of "McGinty and His Son." in which
the leading character was taken by Bobby
Gsylor, supported by the entire troupe The
same programme will be presented at the
matinee performance this afternoon.
BoUCIoAULT TOMORROW NIGHT - Dion
Boucicault, the renowned author and actor,
will appear at the Metropolitan Theater to-
morrow night and Monday matinee in the
celebrated play "Shaughrauu," production
of his own prolific pen. There perhaps is no
actor living better known than Boucicault,
and certainly none who has written as many
plays and dramas. The play in which he
will appear before the Sacramento public is
one of his finest productions has been criti-
cised both in Europe and America, and pro-
nounced one of the finest plays ever pre-
sented on the stage. The scenes enacted are
located in ireland. 1t abounds in humor and
at times in the deepest Of pathos. Bouci-
cault, as the Shaughrsun, is q wild, rollick-
ing Irish lad, full of wit, daring and affec-
ton. During the past four weeks
he has played at the California The
ster to packed houses. It is said that he
drew larger houses during his engagement in
that city than any actor that has ap-
pesred there since Edwin Booth. The stage
of the Metropolitan will be fitted up specially
for this occasion with the elegant scenery
with which this play was presented at San
Francisco. The box flee will be open all
day to-day, and seats can be secured without
extra charge. The management says that
owing to the large expense attending the pro-
duction of this great play, the free list will
be entirely suspended.
