stage News.
The concert given by Clara Louise
kellogg and her talented company OF
artists in the Opera House last evening
was one of rare merit. The audience
present though not very large was by no
means small one, the greater part OF
the reserved seats being taken up. The
singing of Miss Kellogg, Miss Pease,
and SiguOr Ferranti was of the finest
description, while the piano solos OF
Mime. Teresa CaTrenO, and the violin
solos of Mr.. John F. Rhodes were all Ell
enthusiastically received. The whole per-
fOTmance was one that is but too seldom
given here, and merits nothing but the
highest praise.
This evening the fine old legendary
drama. entitled the Flying Dutchmau," !"
will be given by the FlOcRtOn Il Ed
munds combination. The n. Y. Even
ing Telegram contains the following
in regard to this play:
The audience at the Peoples Theatre
last evening was, in It's own way, very
critical one, though, as it became more
and more pleased with the representa-
tiOn, it's Indulgence increased and betO-
kened appreciation OF the New Flying
Dutchman" by frequent bursts of ap-
plause. The scenic sitting OF the piece,
was well done. The manner in which
the play was rendered, and the efforts Of
the audience TO applaud all the chaTac-
teTs at once, and still recognize per-
sOnal efforts by hurrahing for particu-
lar characters, brought back Vividly to
the Old theatTe-gOeT the scenes of the
Old BOwerY of generation ago. The
play ran smoothly, atfOrdlng the cast an
excellent opportunity for showing their
abilities and rendering the drama as IT
should be rendered. Mr.. FlOcktOn, who
played the part Of "Vanderdecken,"
must have been gazing upon some of
the pictorial representations of Henry
Irving in the part, for he did his best TO
initiate the distinguished foreigner and
the Dutchman at the same time, and If
the standard i5 to be made from the ap-
probation his efforts received, Mr.. lr-
wing will have to look to his laurels
when he arrives here.
Mr.. Ben. McAuley as "GildeTOy n. G..
Punk" in the new and original Ameri-
can Comedy, The Jerseyman," will he
the attraction Thursday evening. OF this
play the Pittsburgh Chronicle says:
"TheTe are some very strong situations
and from the first to the last Punk
stands out one of the most thorough,
clean cut, natural and enjoyable of all
the character which we have seen
delineated on the mimic stage. Never
once OVerdone-neveT forced; always
easy; thoroughly consistent, we predict
GilderOy n. G.. Punk will live to con-
Ynlse thousands of theatTe-gOers."
Miss Bertha Welby and her superb
company occupy the stage at the Opera
House, Friday and Saturday nights, pro-
ducing THE Hunchback" and "OliYer
Twist" OF the acting of Miss Welby
the Daily journal, Lock Haven, Pa, says:
Miss Bertha Welby as Julia in The
Hunchback' pleased large audience in
the Opera House last evening. Her rem
ditiOn of the character is excellent. She
adapts herself to the different scenes of
joy and grief with realistic effect, and
her voice is changed readily to the diff
ferent shades of feeling. The selection
of her wardrobe was excellent, and her
diamonds, costing in the aggregate
about $4,000, shown with dazzling bril-
liancy. Her support was of the best or
der. All acted their parts admirably"
