 BUNNELL's MUSEUM
 The audiences at Bunnell's Museum yester- day afternoon and evening completely filled the house long before it was time for the performance to begin. The wonderful Cepha did not arrive until the middle of the after noon, but when she did she proved to be great curiosity. Those who saw Cepha said that they never saw the like before. The performance by the Arne Walker Dramatic company in ''The Two Orphans" was fiber ally applauded. The acting of the young actress, Arne Walker, was excellent. Very few actresses of large experience could take the trying character of "Louise" to better advantage. She certainly has great promise. UTo1lz ] Picard" Harry Freeman as "Pierre Fro chard" and Lucille Allen Walker as Madame Frochard" all deserve praise for their intel1i- gent and forcible acting. The play will be repeated every afternoon and evening this week and is deserving of liberal patronage.
 IN THE RANKS. The play ''Jn The Ranks" was rendered last night at Carlls Opera House to small but enthusiastic audience The play was written by George R. Sims and Henry Petit l authors of the Lights O London 9 'sRomany Rye" and '"The World" The cast is an ex- cellent one. Mir. E. J. Buckley as ''Ned 1 Drayton" and Miss Selina Fetter as tsRuth Herrick" were particularly good and were called before the curtain The acting of MT. Frank Kilday as F'Gideon | Blake" and MT. P. D. Fisher as FEJoe Bug gard" was such to call forth applause from the audience. The scenery was beautiful l that of the second act representing f'Digley wood by moonlight" One imag- ines he is in a moonlit grove so perfect are | the surroundings with the shining brooklet l flowing over the falls. The scenic transfor- | nations were gra d. At one time the spec tator is looking at the interior of prison l and the next moment he is transported to an | English barracks. The play will be repeated 1 this evening and ought to have crowded | house.
 AMERICAN THEATER. If there was any doubt as to the wisdom of | 3 departure in the policy of the American Fheater in inaugurating season of regular dramatic performances, all such doubts | must have been removed last night when the Chic Comedy company opened with their comic absurdity ttColIars and Cuffsn The
