 THE TOURISTS.
 Mestayer's Tourists will be at Carll's Opera House next Monday and Tuesday evenings. | The following is what the Boston Traveller says of the performance: The return of 'sThe Tourists'' to the city and to the Gaiety last night was the occasion of one of the largest gatherings, if not the largest that ever assembled under Mr. Wentworth's manage ment here The vocalizAtion of the piece was excellently done. The large and varied audience was greatly delighted with the per- fomance, rim fact, too delighted. They insisted upon recall after recall in many of the num- bers, to the end, so that the play was length sned far beyond it's proper time of represen- tation.
 The Wilbur Opera company's presentation of 'tIolanthe'' at CarlPs Opera House last evening was greeted by only fair audience The performance deserved full house The 1ff fho theater goers. Miss Kirwin as Phyllis at once made friends with the audience in her new role and MacCollin was as funny and clever as usual as the FLord Chancellor" l" MT. Brand sang the part ''Stephron" very finely. He has an excellent voice and will prove a valuable addition to the company This afternoon the Pirates of Penzance'' will be given and this evening the tEMas- cotte." Marshal Carll has placed the price of tickets to the matinee at twenty five cents to all parts of the house. The general admission to evening performances has been reduced to twenty, five and fifty cents.
 THE TWO JOHNS.
 ''The funniest show on earth" is the name aptly applied to the comedy which holds the boards at the American Theatre this week and the principal parts in which are sustained by J. c. Stewart and John Hart, the 1.-Two Johns" It is one of those refined and sparkling comedies which appeal to higher taste than is usual in a variety show. The 1.-Two Johns" and Frank Rush weight down the scales at over eleven hundred pounds, and make fun for every square inch of solid flesh. It is not too much to say that no play eyer given at Manager Eldrige's popular resort has won more favor than the one whose last presentations will be given this afternoon and evening. Those who have not yet seen the 'Two Johns'' should not miss the last chance.
 7-20-S. @
 Last evening most enjoyable perform ance of the highly popular play ''7-2O-8" the Rehan Combination company. This is the second rendition of the play here, and we doubt not that it gave fully as much en- joyment last evening as when first presented. The Rehan companp is generally an excellent one and did full justice to the bright and witty dialogue and funny situations of the play. The ripple of merriment broadened into a wave of laughter in short time and at no time did the play fail to carry in terest and a sense of it's genuine humor from the opening to the close. The success with which Miss Georgine Flagg met in sustaining the character of 'tFloss'' is very gratifying to her many friends here in her native city, I and must be very encouraging to herself It | is character well adapted to her and gives her opportunity for the exercising and bring ! ing out of her talent. The encouragement 1 ISl wrsn aH. wnlCn sne % VIII undoubt- will give her confidence and support l which we trust will enable her to win for ! herself an enviable position in the front rank of her profession. Her advancement 1 since her last appearance here is decidedly | marked and so far she has certainly proved | herself worthy of the confident expectations of her New Haven friends. This afternoon ! and evening the perfofmance will be repeat ed, and large audiences should be present.
