Mugs LANDING AT ENGLIsHs.
In spite Of the bad weather it did not pre-
vent good audience from greeting "Muggs'
Landing" at English Opera House last
night. The piece has a hearty laugh for
every minute it is on, and has nothing to
offend the most fastidious 1t has sufficient
plot TO keep up the interest in all the char
aoters. Miss Frances Bishop as Little
Mugs" and Alfred Mcdowell as ASA
Beck" the land agent, divided the honors.
Both were very funny and both are excel
lent actors. Miss Bishop is a wonderfully
bright little miss, and her part fits her like
the paper on The wall" She is fine singer
snd Dimble dancer The same may also be
said of Mr. Mcdowell. The other people in
the con pany are above the average aud sus-
tanned their parts nicely. Mugs Land
ing" will be given tonight for the last time,
and also at the matinee this afternoon, when
the prices will be twenty five cents to all
parts of the house, including reserved seats.
HARRISON & GoURLAY AT THE GRAND.
Another good-sized audience witnessed
the second performance of skipped by the
Light of the Moon" at the Grand Opera
House last night, and they were kept in
perfect whirl OF laughter for nearly three
"
comedians, are the features Of the entertain.
ment They are bOtn clever and original in
their work and the farcical comedy in
which they appear is nothing more or less
than a swift succession Of ridiculous laugh
ter provoking incidents. There is a great
deal of good-nstured, everyday fun in the
dialogue, and hrst-class company aid the
stars in giving a satisfactory performance
Skipped by the Light of the Moon" is
play very similar 70 the Bunch of Keys'' in
lis style of fun, and seems to please every
body. There will be a low-priced matinee
this afternoon at o'clock and final per-
Torrance tonight Next week Lolita.
THE DRAMATIC COCKTAIL" COMING.
Charming and vivacious little Lolita will
be at the Grand Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings next. Mr.. Mech, the
the Buffalo manager, said in answer to an
inquiring reporter the other day: Lolita
lie still the greatest of our condolences"
How does her performance in her new play
compare with her more familiar persona
tons of Zip, 'Musette.' Bob and the rest
OF them" well, she is just as clever in
Mam'zelle Nitouche' as in anything she
plays. and some of her scenes show more
artistic skill than she displays IN any OF the
characters you speak of. Her singing, dane
ing and acting as 'Nitouche' in the second
act are very fine. Her japanese Princess
is new, and her scene ia the green room OF
the theater is one OF the best things L
have ever seen her do. Her scene with the
Major in the third act shows Lolita in her
truest vein and think her business as the
drummer boy is as nearly perfect as you ara
going to get your comedy. Her stride across
the stage with her drum is exceedingly fun
ny: but ii doesn't make much difference
what Lolita plays, she always plesses her
audience, She has had good many imi-
tators, but there is only one Lolita, and as
an actress and lady the stage has good
reason to be proud of her"
