THE LYCEUM.
An immense audience assembled at this COSY
little theatre last evening. sour Jockey Min
stres" opened the evenings entertainment,
and was decided success, all the ladies being
dressed in full jockey costumes. The singing
was fine and the jokes of Collins, Mortimer
and Wallace were all new and to the point.
In the olio the dashing Miss Nellie Abbott was
received with immense applause and never
sang better nor looked any more charming.
She was encored again and again. Don. ID.
Hatch appeared for the first time this season in
his choice selection of songs. Lottie Ward in
her Lancashire Lass songs and dances was re-
ceived with great favor. Guss Wallace's
"Flury FURY" and "Sandys Mule" are by far
his best efforts, and took the bakery. Lottie
Zalia, re-sDgaged for one week more won new
laurels with her clubs. She is indeed the Queen
of clubs. The evenings entertainment con-
cluded with Harvey Collins laughabe comedy
"Pink Dominos.' His GOTHAM Perkins was
the hit of the season The whole company did
themselves proud. The new leader of the
orchestra, Josh Holbrook, is a great improve
ment. Everything went smoothly Taking all
in all this is the best chow given at this theatre
this season, and crowded houses should be the
rule this week.
THE IDEALS.
Upon the first performance of the Musk
eteers" by the Boston Ideal Opera Co. in New
York, the Evening Post said:
A more boisterously funny operetta than
Ferrier and Prevel's 'tMusketeers in the Con
vent" has seldom been written. After its great
success when first produced in New York by
Mr. Grau's French opera company, on Decem.
Der 3, 1884, it was rather surprising that one Of
our local theatres did not take it up. 1t would
have been superior to several of Lecocq's latest
works recently produced. Its performance in
English by the Boston Ideal Opera Co. was ex-
cellent in every way. 1t cannot be said that all
the sparkle OF the original French version was
retained ,ors the parts of the two soldiers ald
the Able were interpreted with quite as much
subtle humor by Messrs. Karl, Mcdonald and
rockingham, as they were by Messrs. Nigri,
Tauffenberger and Duplan; but the Misses
Ulmar and Burton sang much better than their
predecessors, acted more coquettishly, and
looked hundred times more charming.
The Ideal Opera Company will be at City
Hall next Wednesday afternoon and evening,
and Thursday evening.

was that of the lads and lasses of Deering al
