THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Coming Attractions for the Week:
The uesIayer-Vaughn - We, Us a.
Cas- and a Return Engagement of
the FIOrences.
Joe jefferson closed his engagement at
the Grand last night in Cricket on the
Hearth" The piece is full of delicate and
pathetic points which are touched with
master hand when Jefferson plays it. The
coming week at the Grand is to be as good
as last week in the line of superior attrac-
tions The first half will be taken up by
Mestayer-Vaughn's I'VE, Us & Co."
and the latter part of the week with a re-
turn engagement of the Florences. I'VE,
Us 81 Co.. is bright, musical melange eX-
tremely nonsensical and ridicuiously absurd,
but so full of pure, wholesome humOr that
it always attracts. Mr.. MeStayer first
made his great hit in the Tourists" I'VE,
Us d Co." has also had a wonderful run.
All the favOrites of last season are still
with the company, together with several
new faces. All the dresses. costumes,
music and dances are new. There will be
a marvellous exhibition of fine stage dress
ing this week in st. Paul, as Miss Vaughn
and Mrs Florence lead the list in having
splendid stage costumes. The nature of
the performance in I'VE, Us 81 Co." gives
Miss Vaughn an excellent opportunity for
display of her fine costuming, among the
prettiest of which is ber bathing-dress,
worn at the Mud Springs,
which is made of pink albatross
cloth, very neat and pretty. A dress worn
in the last act is perfect gem, and has
been the envy of society ladies the present
season. The slightly bouffant back breadthS
are of gold-colOred satin; the front
breadths are composed of narrow pleatingS
of cream-tnted Marquise lace. Between
the pleatings, about an inch apart, are set
loops Of narrow satin ribbons, combining
all the shades of the brOcade waist. The
lOW-necked bodice is orDamented to match,
and the effect is that of cluster of bright
flowers, and is as novel as it is rich and
tasteful.
FLORENCE'S s NEW PLAY.
On his return engagement Mr.. and Mrs.
Florence will present their new play. The
Flirt." 1t possesses a series of very ludi-
crOuS situations, and the climaXeS are
worked up effectively. The story deals
with the adventures of gay old rounder,
whose passion for the opposite sex and a
penchant for writing letters gets him into a
deal OF trouble and complications. The
moral of il is a lesson TO social banQueterS,
not 10 get too far from the shore. 1t is
natural to expect a great deal of fun from
such character lmperSOnated by all actor
like Florence. The repertoire for the re-
turn engagement of the Florences is THE
Flirt'' Tor Thursday night and Saturday
matinee. 1.-The Mighty Dollar" Friday
night and ''DOmbey 81 Son" Saturday
night.

OPERA HOUSE NOTES.
Some St. Paul theater-goers have fallen into
the bad practice of being late In getting to
the thearer. 1t is very annoying to those who
are trying to listen to the play to be con-
stantly interrupted by persons coming in.
The curtain goes up at s o'clock, and people
who go to the theater ought to be in their
seats at that time.
Joe Jefferson has the best support of any
star on the American stage. There is not one
of his company but is capable of starring.
Edwin Vaneyard, Henrietta Vaders and Miss
jackson have established regulations, while
Misses Hudson and Woolcot are rising rap
idly in the theatrical armament
The opera house scenery is all new and
most Of it very beautiful. There was a
splendid opportunity to show the fine effects
of the new scenery during Jefferson's en-
gagement.
Handing ice water around during the in
tervals between the acls is a proper innova-
tion, but it deprives good many gentleman
of an excuse to go out.
Edwin Booth will be in st. Paul two weeks.
His repertoire will include "Rictelieu, :"
"Hamlet'' and "Othello."
Another annoying custom is that of jump
