RHEA IN YvoNNE.
CarlI's Opera House will be crowded next
Tuesday night, as Rhea is extremely popular
here. Her new play, ''Yvonne," is French
play of the emotional order It has been
compared to F'Fedora" by Rhea herself AL
ready it is a success. The plot is strong and
the part of ''Yvonne" is one that gives Rhea

CALLENDER'S MINSTRELS.
A peculiarly interesting amusement event
occurred at Carll's Opera House last
night in the temperance of the famous Cal
lender MINISTRIES after their triumphant Eu-
ropean tour. The company returns consid
erably strengthened, both in people and in
new sketches, music, etc., which enables
them to present an entirely new programme.
The opening musical numbers were excel
lent. Billy Kersands, Wallace King, Billy
Wilson and Dick Little were the favorites.
The afterpiece, ''The Celebration Day." was
a big hit. The Calender Sextette and Black
Zouaves, Bob Mack and the "Dandy Dancing
Darkies" were all clever acts. As whole
the show is decidedly good. A large au-
dience was present last evening and doubtless
will be this afternoon and evening, when
there will be changes in the programme.
RUTH's DEVOTION
The play 'Ruth's Devotion by Elliott
Barnes, will be produced at Carll's Opera
House next Wednesday and Thursday under
the auspices of Shook & Collier. In speak
ing of the play, the New York Star says:
One of the best constructed and most inter
esting dramas of the ''late unpleasantness"
yet brought before the public is Elliott
Barnes new play, brought out at Niblo's
Garden on Monday night It possesses
what few dramas of its class do, conference
and import. 1t revives memories of the war
but not unp1easantly, and it shows the best
elements of human nature and impulse on
both sides. 1t is good that such play
nave D06u WT1LG01s IL Is ROOu GnaG
should have been performed, for there are
old sores to be healed, and the drama which
does SO much to accomplish this result is
worthy of more than passing notice.
PECK's BAD BOY AND HIS PA.
Laughter was hearty and continuous at
the New Haven Opera House last evening
while the funny comedy, "Peck's Bad Boy
and His Pa, - was on the stage. Those who
who have read the boisterously funny things
about the ftBad Boy which have appeared
in Peck's Sun will find that the scenes in
this comedy recall many of the funniest and
brightest of those sketches. Most of the
characters are amusing types. The actors
are capable and enter thoroughly into their
parts. Frank 81. White makes good "Bad
Boy" and Dan Mason as "Max Schultz, the
Groceryman, - is irresistibly funny. The goat
scene was novelty that brought down the
house. It is worth the price of admission to
see Schultz on roller skates. No one should
miss it. A matinee will be given this after
noon; prices, 80 and 25 cents. The last per
Torrance will be given this evening.
BUNNELL4's MUSEUM
Bunnell's has now become standard sub
stantial place of resort for ladies, and the
public in general appreciate the excellent
programme offered The Harris sisters, all
of one birth, are drawing immensely, but
they are only one Of the many attractions be-
sides frst-class stage performance. The
accomplished Miss Myrtle Kingsland capti-
Yates the public by her pleasing manner,
while her admirable rendition in reciting the
scenes in the automaton Passion Play" ELECTS
the marked appreciation of the audience The
"Memphis Students" should be seen. They
are living monument of perseverance and
are great in either melodies or breakdowns.
Mr. James Beusly is peer in his marvellous
balancing act. Little Rosine appears to ad-
vantage, while Mr.. Nibbe, Martin Beusly,
Fields and Leslie, the polished artist Liston,
Maud Chadwick and all deserve praise Mr..
Armstrong in introducing the wonders in
the Halls of Genius is far superior to most
lecturers. Messrs. Bunnel and Bates are de-
termined to please their patrons and on
Monday, October 90, present the Bennett &
Moulton Comic Opera company.
