THE LEaITiAATE.-Th Bandmann com
pany closed its engagement here-being an
| effort to command patronage by q presen-
| taton of the legitimate-with the produc-
| ton on the two last evenings of 0thello'
and Romeo and Juliet In the former
| Mr.. Lindsay gave an agreeable surprise by
his superior reading of the part of Othello.
| Bandmann was the IagO of the piece and
made it a thoroughly artistic piece of work.
| Miss Beaudet was entirely successful as
! Desdemona, deepening the favorable i'm
preston made by her first appearance.
while Miss Vcrnay proved an admirable
| foil TO Bandmaun. In " Romeo and Juliet
| Miss Beaudet gave evidence Of greater
strength in the emotional and of the
breadth ofpromise for her future in dramatic
walks. The Romeo of Miss Fernay was a
surprise. The lady is possessed Of q very
strong and deep-toned voice, for a woman,
and being a good reader, of graceful pres
ence and experience, her assumption of the
part was an earnest and honest cndeavor,
| and q work OF art Of the better order; not
free from faults but rcplcte with excellent
achievements. Mr. Bandmann's Mercntio
was level with his usual labOrs. Miss
| Merry, who made q favorable impression
a. the Marquise in "Narcisse the first
| night undertook very difficult task for
young person, the assumption Of the part
Ofthc Nurse on q stage where Mrs. judah set
| the standard for that part. Itis justice to say
| that the Younger woman won credit in the
role, and presented it more faithfully than
can bc usually expected from one not assist
| ed by the burden of really advanced age
! Thus much Is due on conclusion of brief
season, for the effort Of small but we'll
balanced, painstaking and capable com
pany 70 give the legitimate in this city.
| The houses were all very poor, and the re-
! sull disCouraging. 1t Is scarcely probable
thai for a long time to come any company
at all equal to the task will attempt the
presentation of ShakeSpcarean dramas
here. Burlesque and minstrelSy companies
will find broader appreciation, but the
| legitimate in California cannot expect
much encouragement in the present tenn
ports the same was true of San Francisco
and Of most interior cities, as of this city.
| MErRoPoLIrAN THEATER. - The Bijou
| Burlesquc Opera Company, comprising
some thirty members of the company as
| originally organized, after a three weeks
engagement in san Francisco that was sue
I
pears tonight in Sacramento, as the bills
| glovingly put it, in the brilliant operate
| burlcsdue 'OrpheuS and Eurydice, direct
! from a successful run of over $50 nights 1t
the Biiou Opera House, New York, etc.
| There Is promise made of 4 carload of
handsome scenery, of " gorgeous costumes,
lively choruscS, topical songs, elegant ap-
pointments, fascinating dances, laughable
hits, and of course n score or more OF
| bright young faces in the usual abbreyia-
ton of drapery that distinguishes the mod
ern burlesque troupe, and fills the front
rows. However, there is no claim made
for dramatic excellence by such companies.
They promise humorous nonsense, grace
full groupings, odd situations, lively music,
pretty young women, and comical charac-
ter acting. and according to all accounts
the company to appear tonight Is equal to
the contract.
GLKSpEEs IN PLACER CouxrY.-Dr A N.
| McCollum went up to Newcastle Saturday
