This side-splittiny comedy was play ed
before large and refined audience al
Harper's theatre last night, with Rob. V .
Ferguson as the leading man, and it is
only due to that gentleman to say that he
is responsible in large degree for the
very suspicious reception the company
has received here. His personal acquain
lance IN the city is quite extensive. and
his acting is so original and unique
that he is prime favorite with
those who are closen observers
and judges of mcritorious stage
work. In 2:15, as Sidney Fix, young
married man with mother>in law TO
haunt hun, he has splendid opportunity
to display his versatility and talent, and
his ptrsonifcation is clever in the ey-
IRENE. His facisl expressions were es-
pecially good. John Fielding played the
part of Vincent Tack, the confidential
friend of Fix, who, in endeavoring to as
sist his young married friend out of
some inexplcable tangle with his wife
and mothersin>law, only made matters
worse. Miss Fielding was a good Mrs.
Fix. while Miss Ida Valance, acted the
part of the mother in-law to perfec-
ton. She has grace and ease of car
riage on the stage which is quite capti>
waiting. The minor parts.were well taken,
and the many absurd situations created
thunders of applause

The Hungarian Concert.

The concert to be given by the Hungar-
ian National Gypsy Band at the Opera
House on Thursday evening, October 14th
bids fair to draw a crowded house. These
musicians are reputed to be among the
very best in Europe. Their reputation IL
not greater than are the merits Of the
performers, as can be attested by those
who enjoy ed the concert given by thii
band at the Academy of Music las
spring.
There is fascination connected witt
their entertainment which it is hard tt
explain; whether 1t arises from theil
strange and mysterious historical origin
as gypsies, or from the weird and exquis-
ite harmonies rendered in their nativ,
costumes 1t would be difficult to decide
Suffice 1t to say that the high character
of their music give warrant to all ou
readers of an occasion second in inter
est to none that are promised for thi
