nGefta1nm en G9. CARLL'S OPERA HOUSE,

CAhLLS OfEhA dOUSE. In view of the fact that last night was a stormy one and that Signor Tommaso Salvi- nj saw fit to politely ignore the request of a number of our representative citizens to play f'King Lear'' under a most flimsy pretext, cultivated and good sized audience was present to witness the presentation of Ingo- mar, that standard vehicle by which ambi- tious stars have ridden into popular favor and prominence.
 Hahn's play is so we'll known that to call attention to it's simple story is unnecessary were it not to call attention to the fact that it is the least pretentious of any of the works which are included in the repertory of the great Italian tragedian. In fact it is neither more nor less than an "off night" piece which is intended to afford an oppor- tunity to the leading lady of the company to aspire to those plaudits which the audience pay 8 sufficient amount of money to be priyi- legged to bestow upon the star It is unfor tunate that in this a university city. one of the centers of culture, so little attention should be shown to the wishes of it's theat rical patrons who have not infreouentlv manifested their predilection for Shakespe rian dramas.
 However, one is rarely enabled to see sucb an artist as Salvini. Perhaps few living actors can compete with him in the character of ''Ingomar' In him we behold the fierce
 
 ness is full of majesty and strength, but Who. under the mild and softening influence of the gentle hostage, is gradually subjugated and converted to the gentle arts of domesticity and peace. His every look. gesture and tone was full of significance and gave expression to intelligent study. He is in every sense of the word master of dramatic effect. The support was decidedly weak. Viola Allen, young lady whose eS- perience tine stage dates back to period of less than three years, was scarcelg ' up to the requirements of Parthenia, part the i'm portance of which ranks with that of the star. She has sweet girlish manner which fits her splendidIy for certain parts, but to represent the brave young Greek who would sacrifice home, father, everything, who sighs for the love such as Hero bore for Leander. requires more than dulcet voice and a pretty face. Miss Allen was in parts very charming, but failed signally to bring out the strong points of her part, and to show to a good advantage in those situations which

 It is only necessary to announce that this famous actor will appear at Carll's Opera House on next Saturday evening in 'tRip Van Wrinkle" to have full house.
 FRANK MAYO.
 This talented actor, who made such hit in his ''Davy Crockett, ," will appear at Carll's Opera House this (Tuesday) and tomorrow evenings in his new play entitled 'Nordeck." !" The Cleveland Leader and Herald in speak sons why audience should be pleased. It tells an interesting story, which, by the way, is too long and too complicated for synopsizing with facility. It contains pretty scenery and is handsomely staged and well played.

 The inimitable John T.

He has a clear, musical voice, a distinct enunciation, and an excellent power of expression. The Rixford brothers are wonderful gymnasts, and their head balancing and shoulder som ersaults were truly wonderful Frank and Fanny Dav1s were as clever as ever, and re- newed the favorable impression they have made on former occasions.
