LOCAL. INTELLIGENCE.

the widely known and popular low come
dian, disarmed public disapproval by very
clearly stated announcements that We,
Us & Company is not a drama that any
attempt al plot in it is disavowed, and
that ii IS nothing more than three acts of
absurdties, mirthful situations, burleSque
representations, and ludicrous hilarity,
with plenty of vocal music, by a company
of rollicking comedians and singers. The
entertainment last evening was according
to the letter and spirit of the promise.
There are six ladies in the company, four
of whom are handsome, graceful, and per-
sOnally attractive, and who sing well and
understand the art Of costuming hand
somely. Miss Vaughn, the leaiing lady, is
of very graceful presence, and has a strong
rich meZzo-soprano with contralto quality.
Certainly, so far as a bevy of handsome,
clever female comedians and singers can
attract an audience, Mestayer's troupe has
drawing power One lady who cannot
boast personal beauty has part in which
her plainness serves her purpose admirably,
and represents good character acting.
There are six men in the company. every
one OF whom Is good in character acting
and all Of whom sing with more OF less
success, three being good vocalists, who, in
quarLets. choruSes and duoS with the
ladies, do some very effective musical work.
AS for the meat of the piece, it is broad bur-
lesque, pure nonsense, laughter provoking
without purpose, and ridiculously merry
without aim of any kind. The piece is full
of witty gags, forced plays upon words, and
most absurd situations. 1t is sufficiently
long and as varied as could be wished.
PlotleSs and purposeless as is the oddity
presented, the people in ii are capable OF
being capitally cast i'll genuine low comedy
and Mcstaycr will make a mistake if he
does not attempt it before he allows his
troupe 70 dissolve We, Us q Co" will be
A>resented for the last time tonight.
