"IRIsH ARISTOCRACY."

IRISH ARISTOCRACY."
The week was opened at the Grand, on
Monday night, by Barry & Fay, in their
celebrated Irish comedy "Irish Aristocracy,"
and continued until Wednesday night, ap-
pearing at matinee Wednesday afternoon.
Large audiences greeted these famous Irish
comedians, who probably have no superiors
in their especial line on the stage. The
play has been greatly changed and improved
during the past year, the coarser portions
having been eliminated, and nicer
vein of comedy interpolated. 1t
was listened to with much relish and
alw avs elected enthusiastic applause.
''cHEEK.''
Roland Reed, the great impersonator of
the dude followed in Marsden's peculiar
comedy Check The play is enlivened with
sparkling wit, although somewhat monotonous
and consequently tiresome in some partic-
ulars. The company was especially strong
embracing besides the inimitable Roland
Reed, Miss Alice Hastings who has an envi-
able reputation as soubrette, and Miss
Blanche Vaugn, soubrette eX-
ceptionally attractive and chic, but
somewhat lacking in vocal powers, and s. s.
Black. Miss Hastings laugh was so gen
favorite with the audiences at the first
despite the fact that she impersonated
a decidedly Objectionable character. The
manager of the company states that Miss
Hastings has rendered her resignation three
times, because of the contempt in which she
holds the role, but she has been persuaded to
continue her engagement upon the promise
that new play will soon take the place of
"Cheek" when a role will be assigned her
which shall be in keeping with her taste and
talents.
THE PHILHARMONICS.
The last of the series of concerts TO be
given under the auspices of the Philharmo-
mic club will occur tomorrow evening at
the Grand. The features of the concert will
be the appearance of Theresa Correno and
Emma S. Howe. The former bears the
proud distinction of possessing the reputation
of being the greatest lady pianist Of her
time. Miss Howe is a soprano soloist,
twenty-three years of age, gifted with extra
ordinary personal charms At the age of
eighteen she was the leading soloist of
Henry Ward Beecher's church, and it is said
her beauty turned the heads of all the young
men in the church. Her voice is remarkably
pure and fresh.
These two artists will be aided in the con-
cert by the full Philharmonic club, and
Danz's orchestra. The members have been
carefully chosen and the concert VIII be pre-
eminently the finest of the series.
EMERSON CONCERT CO.
On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings the
Emerson Concert company will appear at the
Grand and will sing for the benefit of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Of this com
yany an exchange says:
The Emerson Concert company gave one
of the best concerts at the Opera house last
evening that St. GATHERINGS audience has
been favored with for long time. This
company differs from most companies in the
fact that all the members are thorough artists
not as is too common, one star and the rest
mere makeshifts. The programme given last
evening was exceptionally good.
