 OLIVER TWIST.
 The dramatized version of Charles Dickens famous story, s'Oliver Twist, might seem to some an ambitious venture for Manager FL dridge, but the success of it's first presentation last evening removed any doubts as to the abilities of his company to give 1t an effective rendering. The leading parts were very well taken, and throughout there was we'll bal anced and even interpretation. Laurence imperfect conception of the character of Pagan, playing it without the dialect usually accredited to the part, and otherwise showing listless and spiritless piece of work. His was, in all respects, the weakest imper sonation in the drama. J. L. Edwards did some very fine work as Bill Sikes and in the murder scene with Nancy Sikes was very powerful Lou Sanford appeared in the role of Nancy Sikes, and, as in all her past efforts. shaved herself clever and versatile actress. The part she personated last evening varied from any she has yet essayed, and her suc- cess proved that she can sustain effectively other than soubrette parts. Press Eldridge as ssthe artfnI dodger" was immense as usn- al, and Miss Olevia Nichols made g mischiev- ous little Oliver Twist The variety part of the programme was very fine, MT. Thomas E. Doyle, of this city, making a big hit in his club swinging act. The Morello Brothers and Ward and Lych were also very good. The bill as given lrst evening will be re- peated every evening this week and We'd nssday and Saturday afternoons, and should have large houses.
