 AMERICAN THEATER. Owing to the unavoidable absence of seye- ral of the best artists engaged to appear at the American last evening, and the hasty suLs stitution of such talent as Manager Eldriage found available, the performance was hardly up to the usual standard of excellence main-
 tained at this theatsr. There were some very
 good features, however, notably the speciality
 act of the Russell brothers, who were re-
 markabIy good in their character change act The negro comedy of Medicine, played bv 1 those incomparable comedians Press FL dridge and Billy Williams, was very funny. l indeed, the appearance of these lights of | comedy on the stage is always the signal for I genEino fun and humor. The burlesuue on ''The Two Orphans" which concluded the -'tertainment, IS clever production, abound in, in v sayings and lndicrous situations which kent Iast audience busy laugh Ing and made them forget L,, 0PPoanG- " ments for which Manager EIdri6oa bo,, apologize. The same bill will he oivar, through the week and it will undoubIedIv run smoother the remaining nights.  rk1
