DRAMAIN ST. PAUL.
A Week of Comedy and More
Coming.

The muse of comedy, with its smiling
face and waggish tongue has held full sway
over the enchanted scene in st. Paul during
the past week, and its mirth-prOducing
power was evidenced by the large audiences
that nightly packed the Grand.
In the daily grind of mundane existence
there is enough tragedy i'll most lives to
make the mimic representation of grief
negative good at best. and it is not strange,
therefore, that the tOilers i'll the great work
shop of mankind are prone to give tragedy
the go-by and seek advertisement in the
representations that amuSe and make them
laugh.
The week just closed has been very en-
iOyable one at the Grand. 1t opened with
the appearance of Gus Williams, the expo
nent of the broad spirit Of traveSty and
burlesQue, and closed with the engage
ment of those brightest of all
modern comedians, Robson and Crane.
The latter have appeared to several of the
largest and most fashionable audiences of
the season, and their amusing creations
have been received with almost unbOunded
pleasure During their short and enjoyable
season they have appeared i'll several of
their most captivating comedy roles. The
Bachelors" which was given to large
matinee audience, and the new comedy,
"Champagne and Oysters" which was pre-
scented to a full house last evening. In all
respects the season was a success.
