METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The weeks en-
gagement of the Palmer Dramatic Company
and others, under the management of f. W.
Bert, was commenced last evening at the
Metropolitan in the spectacular drama of
Michael Strogoff." There was fair audi
ence, and the presentation was well received.
In fact, one man who sat near the front be-
came SO enthusiastic in the more interesting
portions that his excessive applause added
too much to the realistic. and he had to be
| suppressed. The several parts OF the play
were very well rendered, but the whole piece
will run much more smoothly this
evening upon its repetition. This is
unavoidable where so. large a num-
Der are locally added to give greater
numerical effect than can be secured By an
ordinary dramatic company. The Governors
Guard Cadets, under command OF Captain
Eisenmenger, appeared in the illuminated
| fete in the first act with good effect and in
fine drill. The leading parts in the play
were generally well sustained. Joseph r.
Grismer, IS Michael Strogoff, presented with
very good command thu cool bravery re-
quired in the hero's part, while George W.
Vessels, as Ivan Ogaref, held very evenly
with him the position of the heartless Tartar
chieftain. Maria Strogof, in the person of
Miss Henrietta Osborne, failed In intensity Of
expression in the scene where she first appears
in the presence of the disorganized Siberian
soldiers, and there meets her son and pleads
with him for his recognition, which he 50
colby refuses, to prevent divulging his real
character of spy, but later In the play she
rises to the full conception of her part, and
gives it with marked effect. The scenic
effect is very good; the scenery for the piece
having been brought from the California
Theater, and is mostly new here. The same
play will be presented again this evening.
On Friday evening complimentary benefit
will be rendered to the Governors Guard.
