ALBAUeH's OPERA HoUsE.-Quite Q number
OF changes have been made In Frank Mayos
romantic drama of "Nordeck," notably In the
last act, since its first production here last year
Inc aim of these changes has been to give the
play quieter and less robust tone. "Nordeck
still remains strong and deeply interesting
piece OF dramatic construction. The company
which Mr. Mayo now has about him does not
give quite as symmetrical and satisfactory
Miss Kathryn Kidder, who appeared as VANCE
Is an interesting actress of much Pr4mlss- MI
as IFitotd; and Mr. John C. Freund as Fa6tdn
do satisfactory work. The NoTdecko OF MT FRANK
Mayo Is, of course. f2rciole ana eIare ana

The audience last night was not large
NATIONAL THEATER.-Fine scenery and COS
tunes gave an air of novelty and freshness to
National theater last night. The set in the
fourth act was especially magnificent. The IN
genious set showing the dungeons of the cha
teau DIFF was loudly applauded. The company
which assisted Mr.. James O'Neill in rendering
the play is a fairly good one. The star himselfhaS
I'm nowise changed since his former appearance
here He still shows faults of utterance and
action which must restrain the disinterested
and discriminating from ranking him with
Fechter. Mr.. ONeill is, however, an earnest
and painstaking actor. "Monte Christie" will
continue at the National throughout the week.

nearly exhausted the mine from which "a
Bunch of Keys "rhe Rag Baby etc., were
grade and seems to have been got out with
much labor. Most people prefer to stop short
of the Mushroom in the pursuit of "fun." There
is some good singing and dancing in the piece.
Mr.. George w. Wilson as Prot. Vtas Cttnby, the
lumber, was in his way very amusing. 1t is
almost needless to say the same of Mr.. James
L. Powers, his assistant. Amy Ames the
Irish servant girl was great success. Rachel
Booth and Victoria Reynolds also added much
to the general stock of fun.
ST. CECILIA QUARTETTE CpNCERT.-The

HERZoGS OPERA HOUSE.-The broad, I'M
mistakable humor of "Irish Aristocracy" was
developed with no little vigor at this house last
night. The audience was of generous proper
tions and most enthusiastic mood, applauding
the racy absurdities of the situations fire.

week.
DIME MUsEUM.-Minnie Oscar Gray and w.
T. Stephens are well-known to the variety
stage, where they have long been leading favor
ties. They appear at this popular resort this
week in "a strongly realistic drama entitled,
without A Home" The supporting company
is worthy of the stars. The performances are
received with great warmth by the audiences.
THEATER CONIQUE.- Alice Oates and her
lively company last night appeared at the
COInique in burlesque of the ever-pOpuar
"MaScotte,' which was received by the atl-
dence with much favor. There was also the
usual oliO, including singing, dancing, etc.
