THE RINK.
The weIl-known little favorites, Master
Porter CLARK and Miss Nettie Perkins, will
give another of their beautiful exhibitions of
fancy skating at the rink this evening.
Since their last exhibition they have become
acquainted with many new movements which
they will execute with their usual grace this
evening.
BEss THE WAIT.
The young and talented soubrette, Alice
Renneyer, as Bess, the waif, supported by
the Lawrence dramatic company, will be the
attraction at Peck's Opera House next Friday
night and Saturday matinee and night. The
play was written by J. Howard Granger, who
will appear in leading character. The
piece is of the style of Miss and the Danites
and has q pretty love story running through
it.
OLIVER D. BYRON
At the New Haven Opera House this eve
ming, Oliver D. Byron will appear in his we'll
known drama, ''Across the Continent" The
play is laughable and realistic. Mr.. Byron
will be supported by Miss Kate Byron and an
able company. The Buffalo Courier says:
Mr. Byron occupies place on the stage Pc
culiarly his own. He Rvails himself of an in
finite variety of melodramatic effects, and
makes the most telling use of them in way
perfectly natural, and highly pleasing to all
who witness them. The auditor gets his
moneys worth every time. Byron plays the
hero to perfection and gains rounds of ap-
plause from every side. He always plays to
large houses.
LYTToN sOTHERN.
Mr.. Lytton Sothern, son of the late E. A.
sothern, will appear as 'Dundreary" at
Peck's Grand Opera House this evening and
to morrow afternoon. Tomorrow evening
he will play in sfBrother Sam" and "a Regular
Fix" The Toronto Mail says of Mr.. Sothern:
His t'Lord Dundreary" is certainly nothing
but an imitation of that of his father-in this
case originality and success could not be
combined-bnt the imitation is so close to
perfection that slight stretch of the imagi-
nation would admit of belief that the origi
nal was present. 1t may be said that last
night Mr.. Lytton Sothern was emphatically
success, and without his fathers experience
he has nearly all his fathers art. He was
called before the curtain at the close Of each
act. The support was excellent.
FACTS.
"Facts, or His Little Hatchet'' is the
title of the new play in which Mr.. and Mrs.
W. j. Florence will appear at Carll's Opera
House tomorrow evening, supported by a
good dramatic company. or the principals
and their new play the Boston Evening Star
says: t'In the character of Pinto Perkins
Mr. Florence does the best work We ever
remember to have seen this gifted artist do.
His makeup is really wonderful work of
art The character is much better one
than even Hon. Bardwen Slote, and gives
Mr.. Florence an opportunity to display his
peculiar talents to the very best advantage.
His lying was done in such an earnest man
ner that before the spectator knew it he was
convuIsed with laughter. 1t is the natural
ness which has always made Mr.. Florence's
SO remarkably effective. In the
last act there is a strongly dramatic scene,
and here Mr.. Florence does splendid piece
Of acting, in a pathetic strain, which was
rewarded by deserved applause Mrs.
Florence, as Mathilda Starr, was in
her element. Her innocent manner of receiv-
ing the wonderful stories of Mr.. Perkins,
and jotting them down, was highly amusing,
while her absurd poetry brought down the |
house. The costume of the lady were elegant;
ARE models of the modiste."
