London Last Evening-Barnum's Parade.
The curtain went up on ''Lights O. Lon
dom at the Opera house last night to an
immense audience, the main auditorium
being fairly filed, while the dress circle
and gallery were packed TO oyelfowing.
Thr same drama has been presented to st.
Pau! amusement patrons before, and By
substantially the same cast, but never be-
fore has it been given with such complete
ness and so much harmony of detail. The
performance lasted until 11,30 O'clock,
and perhaps a more hattering compliment
could not be paid the entertainment than
that which lies in the simple statement
that the audience sat it through without
betraying the least sign of tiresomeness or
fatigue. That it possesses to q marked
degree elements of strong human interest
no one who has observed its influence on
an audience will deny, and its touching
pathos, homely but true sentiment, and
flashes of humor never fail of sounding
the responsive strings Of the average
heart. These elements are delightfully."-
blended or commingled throughout the
play, and no doub BIT the success of the piece
is owing to their mastery exposition.

from former representations in this city.
It possesses numerous ingeniously con-
trived affecting and startling situations,
and the strong points were received with
such applause last night as to raise the dust
and uhsettle the cobwebs of the old
house, which has been the scene of 80
many dramatic conquests. The actual
cast comprises over twenty-five members
of the com pany, and it would be quite
impossible to mention the performance in
detail. Mr.. Lee, as Harold, the discarded
son and heir, and Miss Roseborsugh, as
Bess Marks, his wife, gave the emotional
scenes with fervor, and they received ade
qnate applause and a Call before the cur
tain. Err. Sands, as Clifford, made an
imposing william, and the characters of
Seth Breene, by Mr.. J. @. PadgeIt, and
that of the squire, by Mr..
Rsxford, were both admirably enacted.
Miss Carrie Lee has good emotional part
and she fairly improves it. The Hiber-
Man copper by Mr.. Scallan was good, but
the cream of the perfarmsnoe was i'll the
acting of Mrs. W. A. Sands as Mrs. Jarvis,
and Mr.. Kemple as Joseph Jarvis, not to
forget Miss LeJnard rs Shakespeare. They
do some very clever character acting in
deed. The scenery is bright and realistic
and forms chief charm of the play. The
performance continues throughout the
week.
