GRAND OPERA HOUSES EVEN-TwENTY- EIGHT. !"
The Arthur Rehan Company began limited
engagement at the Grand, last night in Augustin
Days particularly clever comedy, Seven
Twenty Eight" and the performance was re-
ceived with every indication of favor by good
audience The play has been seen here before,
this season, and no extended review of it need
be made at this time, further than to repeat the
former declaration made in these columns, that
it is one of the brightest and most entertaining
dramas before the public 1t is not dependent
upon socalled ''specialties, or extravagant
burlesque, but is a clean-cut comedy, wittily
written and coherently developed The per
formance of it by Mr.. Rehan's company averages
better than that of Mr.. Days company,
earlier in the season Especial excellence
can be attributed to the acting of
Mrs. Clara Fisher Maeder-a very good
''old woman" Mr.. Hottie, Mr. Bartram and Mr.
Raymond, the latter being particularly fitted for
the part of Tambourine, so far, at least as agil-
ity is concerned, by previous experience a
harlequin in pantomlmes Miss Georgana
Flagg's Floss" was unusually well done. While
in its general features it resembles Miss Ada
Rehan's presentation of the same part, yet it
had much originality aud grace to commend it.
Miss Floyds Dora was stiff and constrained, and
Mr.. Beachs Corliss was creditable, although he
was put on in good style, but the stage manage
ment was extremely faulty. The company will
appear again tonight, to morrow afternoon and
tomorrow night, and should be well patronized.
