7Ae T,ro Johns Last Niqht.

The initial performance of the Two Johns
Comedy company was given at the Grand
last night to an audience that was topheavy,
but while the dress circle and gallery had the
best of 1t In point Of numbers, the merriment
was as catching as wildire, and commencing
at the orchestra seats the peals of laughter
rolled up in happy cadences until the house
was literally taken by storm.
The Two Johns give one of the most
unique and indscribably funny performances
ever presented at the Grand, the entertain
ment being exciting and exhilarating, and
at the same time clean and wholesome. The
principal business is in the keeping of John
Stewart and John Hart and they hold the
secret level by means of series
of comedy situations which rapidly succeed
each other through performance that lasts
nearly three hours. These gentlemen, the
1.-TWO Johns,n are q whole circus by them
selves; com bined they tip the beam at some
thing like half ton, and that with picnic
coats and high water pants, the makeup
alone is sufficient to paralyze an audience
with laughter. The performance is an ola
podrida of fun, wit and nonsense, there be-
ing mere peg Of plot on which to hang
the mirth producing situations which are
brought about by the resemblance of the
Two Johns who make love to the wrong girls,
and besieged by irate creditors, thumped by
each others wives and who are led
indeed, into all sorts of predicaments
There is scarcely hiatus or dull moment in
the entire performance, the laughter and
merriment being continual. The support is
very clever, the cast comprising four ladies
and nearly dozen male actors, all OF whom
contribute full share to the enjoyment.
The comedy is in three acts and it ran until
IL O'Clock, the fun being so fast that even
the flight of time went by unnoticed. The
same play will be given tonight and at the
Wednesday matinee.

BARNES AND NORTON.
A Genuine, Honest Sparring Match at
Market Hall Tonight.

The soft glove sparring exhibition at Mar

being prolific of some of the most exciting
athletic sport ever witnessed in St. Paul.
The main feature, OF course, and one
around which great interest centers, will be
the contest between Prof. Barnes aud Paddy
Norton, both we'll known athletes of this city.
In addition to this, some Of the most
renowned talent in the state has been
engaged and some rare sport is assured.
1t is generally understood that a number Of

Robin Hood. or the Bandit Prince.

Miss Alice Oates opened last evening at
the Olympic in this clever burlesque to a
good audience, made up in a good part Of
ner old admirers, who saw her here eight or
ten years ago 1t is wonderful how well this
little woman wears. She looked last evening
just about as young and fresh as in the days
gone by, When she delighted the people of
st. Paul in the Daughter of the Regiment,
and Frou Frou. Her sprightiness and vi
vacity seem not to have been diminished,
and her voice alone begins TO tell the tale
of over exertion; yet even that has lost only
in power and quantity. The execution and
school still remain. In some of the musical
mum bers she gave last night, especially in
the ''Good bye Sweetheart she charmed the
audience fully as much as she could or did
years ago. The buresque of 'Robin Hood,
or the Bandit Prince" is very much in the
style of Pocahontas, and depends in con-
siderable degree upon puns and general
playing upon words for success. There is
considerable good singing in it, and 4 very
great deal that is funny both in situation aud
dialogue. ''Coming Through the Rye by
Miss Oates was given with a great deal of
archness and good expression. A prominent
feature of the evening, however, was the SUI
perb dancing OF Mile BETH Daubl
1t was graceful and artistic
performance aud every time she
appeared she was encored with great SINGER
ity. Altogether Miss Oates has quite an attrac-
tive COM any and an amusing burlesque,
which is TO be given every evening this week,
with a matinee on Saturday.

JalllifScheE.

The sale of seats for the Madame Janaus-
chek engagement, in her new play OF MY
Life" commences at the Grand this morn
ing. The play is in four acts, and is in brief
the story of an English baronet, who, in the
whirl of youthful dissipation, becomes in
fatuated with and secretly marries Partisan
singer of unknown antecedents. BY the
will of his father, the family estates fall TO
him only on condition that he marries his
cousin. He sees and loves this cousin, and
she returns his love, but almost at the altar
his better nature prevails and prevents him
from committing bigamy. He then returns
to his vulgar French wife. This brief syn
opsis gives but an incomplete idea OF the
play. Janauschek plays two roles, widely
different in character: yet she is said to play
them with such consummate art as to make
one doubt, at times, whether it is the same
woman who is assuming both characters.
