MT. Pitt played s'Dr. Basil North" superbly He had enough opportunity to- rant and over a very natural, earnest and eff fectivs presentation of his role. Mr Speakman as stSir Mervyn Ferrand" and MT. Grace as civilian Evans" acted the villains of the piece in manner that showed that they had studied as we'll as rehearsed sldlis ssEthsln very seseptably, but Miss although she acted well enough, was Very faulty in her elocution. Her peculiarly monotonous voice became positively tiresome. The scenery, costumes and appointments were ali that eor-ls especially the characters, in the see- judge and counsel IT, -ue representing the assize court at -renham, were all well taken. This atten- tion to detail so rare with travelling cora panies deserves the highest praise. "Dark Days" will be repeated this evening.

 AMERICAN HEATER.
 A large audience watched with an interest at times approaching wonder the remarkable illusions or Mile. Catherine Nelson at the American Theater last evening. Her won derfully educated pigeons, doves and tropical birds and her trick dogs in their amusing sketch "Mrs. Langtry and the Irish Comedi- an" showed an intelligence almost human in obedience to their fair mentor. Certainly no more attractive feature has been presented at the American this season. Mir. and Mrs. Joe Allen in their ''Terpsichorean Mania scored great hit and were repeatedly en- cored. Belzac proved himself 8 wonder en the invisible wire, and the other members of the company contributed in generous meas ure to an entertainment that was replete with taking features. Altogether it is strong company and should draw large audiences throughout the week.
