TIE TIvoLI.-Thc melodrama of kath-
leen Mavourneen is being played at the
Tiyoli, with Miss Vernon in the title role
George Marion has a double part. The
| piece is heavy for the company, and tries
| It's abilities. It's ambition to undertake it
| bespeaks Il creditablc ambition to make
this place of amusement attractive Some
of the scenes are very pathetically pre-
| scented, and the drama is played with a
! great deal of earnestness on the part of the
actors. One scene in the third act is very
| handsome. How such thoroughly good
scenic effects can be worked ont on so small
