Last Nights Performances and Future
Dates.
BLACK'S-A tremendous audience at
tended Blacks opera house last night to
hear Charles A. Gardner as Karl, the
Peddler," who gives fine performance as
sisted by his talented artists.
Mr.. Gardner is one of the finest dutch
comedians on the stage, and was highly ap-
preciated, as was seen by the loud aud
numerous spplauds given during the entire
entertainment. His singing seems to put
his hearers in a trance, as the utmost atten-
ton was given during every song, among
which were several new ones. The support
was all good, and can always look for a
crowded house when in Springfield.
GRAND.-"Under the Gaslight'' was pre-
sented for the second time this season at
the Grand, last evening, with good attend
ance. The company, which have made
several changes in the cast since they were
here last month, are even better than before
and now have one of the strongest attrac
tons on the road. The scenery was all
good. and especially so were the scenes of
Pier No. 80, North river. in the third act,
and the signal station Shrewsbury bend.
in the fourth act The cast was ably sup
ported, showing that each member thorough
ly understood his part.
GRAND.-Of all the lightweight come
dies ever presented to an audience in this
Ecrrny,-s ssSAan Rnhbla x,.hinb mill
be given at the Grand opera house tomor-
row night, acquires the confectionery. 1t is
eXcruciatingly funny; one laughs and shakes
until he can positively laugh no more, and
then laughs. There is trace of a plot to
the Soap Bubble, possibly Q. 02 in 100 parts
of nonsense and clever specialties, but the
success of the piece depends entirely upon
the versatility and musical ability OF the
performers. T. J. Farron's company is a
whole constellation of bright and shining
stars, new nebular hypothesis, with Miss
Oracle Emmett cleaning out with the efful-
gence of planet of the first magnitude
A Soap Bubble" is clever burlesque on
the barber, butcher and detective, with side
lOl vi lltt
dude and the bad man." 1t abounds in
clever and witty sayings, and gives Oppor-
tunity for some clever pantomime work
Seats now on sale.
GRAND.-''Don Cesar" the new opera
which the McCaull Opera company will pre-
sent at the Grand Tuesday night, was first
produced in English during Manager Ne
Caulfs last summers engagement at Wal
lacks theater. New York. Its success in
Europe was really phenomenal, considering
that it was the first work of its young COM
poser, Rudolph Dellinger, the musical di-
rector of the Carl ShuItz theater in Ham
burg. The story of the opera is substan-
TALLY the same as Victor Hugo and Den
nery's Don Caesar de Bazan." which was
used by Wallace for Mariana" But the
music Of this work is quite as different in
conception as in its school of composition
Manager McCaull presents at least one new
opera to US every year, and never produces
even his successes second year, so those
desiring to see Don Caesar" must take this
opportunity or let it pass for good and all
Manager McCaull claims this to be the
most efficient company he has ever brought
from New York, and the cast Is composed
of several noted singers that are well known
in Ohio theatrical circles. Secure seats at
Harris'S.
