AMERICAN THEATER

AMERICAN THEATER.
Another fine entertainment-one of the
bsst given there this season-was presented
as the American Theater last evening to an
audience that filed every seat in the house.
10 the olio which preceded the drama there
were some excellent features, especially fine
being the singing and dancing of Miss Myra
Goodwin, than whom no better artist in her
line has been seen at this theater. Mr.. Vaughan
| in his bird warbling and with his musical
birds gave pleasing act and one that CON-
mended itself by its novelty. In the sensa-
tional drama ''Roughing It" the wonderful
acting dogs lent spirit and dash to piece
that was replete with startling situations and
| thrilling tableaux. The cast was one not
| usually seen in variety theaters, for aside
from Miss Minnie Oscar Gray and vii.
| liam T. Stephens, who assumed the principal
! roles with the same ability that characterized
them in previous appearances here, there
were Mr. II. Chapel, who took the part of
ftMark Payne" in q manner that showed his
methods had been schooled in the legitimate
drama. Arthur Sprague and Harry Healey
did some fine wofk which showed that
they, too. were accustomed to the
legitimate stage. The stage setting was
very pretty and some of the scenery was
very elaborate and pretty. The play viii be
given every evening this week and Wednes-
ing of as large audiences az greeted it last
evening, when many were turned away nm
