sA1sBURY's TRoUBADoURs
Press opinions are very favorable to the
new piece, ''Three of Kind" which SAILS
bury's Troubadours will present at Carll's
Wednesday evening, and the popularity of
those peerless fun makers, Nate Salisbury and
Nellie McHenry, will insure a packed house.
| The company and orchestra have been added
to and new songs, dances, Rotations and
| original specialties have been introduced.
The two principals, as Jack Potts and Dollie
Dashwood, never appeared to better advan-
| tage than in those characters.
THE RINK.
| Between six and seven hundred people as
sembled at the Dwight street rink last even
| ing to witness Messrs. Wilmot and SewelI the
champion gymnastlc bicycle riders of TIE
world, give the most wonderful exhibition of
| bicycle riding ever seen in this city. Since
the appearance of these gentlemen here last
| Christmas they have introduced many en-
tirely new features into their apparently i'm
possible programme, making the performance
interesting to those who had seen them be-
fore as we'll as to those who had not. At the
close of the exhibition Mr.. Wilmot took the
backbone and little wheel off the machine
and rode on one wheel, to all appearances as
easily as he did on two. The exhibition will
be repeated this evening.
CONFUSION.
The large audience who saw John Stetson's
excellent company in the excellent plays "OId
Love Letters" and Confusion at CarlI's
Opera House last evening were delighted
OF the former piece little need be said it is
tn
finely played last evening by Miss Hill and
Mr.. Morrison and was fitting prologue to
the play which followed it. Confusion" is
bewildering kind of a comedy. 1t would
require a column to tell about it and then
half the fun would have to be left out. The
action turns in a general mixing up" of q
baby and pug dog. ALI the parts were well
taken, not forgetting the dog and the baby.
The play vas handsomely mounted with ap-
propriate scenery and properties. The COM
pany will draw a crowded house tonight and
it deserves it.
CANARY's AMERICAN FOUR.
At Peck's Grand Opera House next Thurs.
day evening ''Canary's American -Four" con-
solidated show will give a first class variety
entertainment. The company is q good one.
The Baltimore American says: The ''Four',
(Pettingill, Gale, Daily and Daly,) are clever,
funny to an immense extent and acrobat
cslly marvellous and homeless. Murray and
Murphy, the Irish eccentric artists, are known
here, as everywhere, to be among the very
best in their line of business in the country.
Cardello and Van Auken were remarkably
good ON the horizontal bar and in double
somersaults. Frank Lewis topical songs
caught the applause of the audience. Then
there were Pauline BatchelIer, the Parker
sisters, Bryant and Saville, Bush and the two
Reeses, the specially trio and most comical
comedy, "Our Irish Visitors with Murray
and Murphy in the leading roles.
THE DANITEs
This thrilling play, which has long been
famous for its power of attracting an au-
dience and in the minds of those fascinated
by the stories of the far West, for the thrill
ling incidents of border and miner life which
it contains, was given at the New
Haven Opera House last evening.
The play now belongs to Mr.. Charles
B. Palmer, he having purchased it
and having the sole right to its production |
The company, judging from the performance
last evening, will meet with success, as they |
handle the piece well and the characters for |
the most part are well taken. BILLY Piper" |
Sandy" and the ''Psrson" were ably sus- |
John L. McNary respectively. The whole |
performance was given with life and spirit and |
the settings were good. The great dogs we're |
an important and interesting feature of the |
performance. This evening the performance /
will be repeated and many will doubtless at.
tend.
AMERICAN THEATER.
The performance given at the American
Theater last evening was one that will not
suffer, if merit be the standard of COMPARE
son, in the competition that is marked out in
the local opera houses this week. And the
presence of a large lady patronage, which ha
been notably increasing during the past few
weeks-all the reserved seats being filled
mostly by ladies on several evenings last
week-seemed to lend spirit to the efforts of
the company. The wonderful per-
Torrance of T. j. Hefron, the one-legeed
song and dance artist, whose antics were
highly amusing, kept the audience convuIsed
with laughter. Harry Rodgers, the masher
king, gave q unique represention of that
masher," which was striking in its humor-
Gus truth to the original. Hallett
and Raymond in break-neck song
and dance act astonished the audience by the
manner in which they threw themselves
about the stage to the seemingly imminent
peril Of their necks. The closing farce, s:B
and B, - was very funny. The same bill will
be presented every evening this week and
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and at
IA extra matinee on Friday, Washington's
birthday.
