gramme was the two act Irish comedy
 "Audy Blake" wi;h the following caste
 General Daly. ..............J. P. Cum
 Dick DaIy (his son). ..,. Harry Stevenson
 Andy Blake ....... Mrs. (. Gregory | Ignatius Mulrooney. .........W w. Nash
 Mrs. Blake ...........G Georgie Parker | Mary Blake ....... Mrs. Belle Jacobs
 Lady Mountoy. ........,.M Mrs. M. Head John P. Cum again distinguished himself in this piece, in the character of the obstinate and high-spirted old British general. John P, was fully equal to the exigencies of the position and looked as if he was ready, at moments notice, to lead squad of scouts in charge on General Crook.
 His son, Dick Daly, was played by Harry Stevenson, who undertook the part, at a few days notice, in place of Dick Rule, who could not be present. Considering the short time which he has had for rehearsal, he did remarkably well.
 Mrs, Gregory's acting in the title role, was really a most artistic piece of wo:k. Her makeup as the wild but noble-hearted Irish boy, was splendid, and she seemed as much at home as Dr. Mary Walker, iu her bifurcated garments. Her rendering of the part was worthy of Lotta. Mrs. Gregory assumed the same character in this city in 1880.
 w. Nash blossomed out as an Irish dude, in the character of Ignatius Mullrooney. With his elegant whis- kers, fowery coat and neat small clothes, he looked quite a Hibernian masher. He threw great deal of energy into his acting and developed surprising amount of agility and brogue.
 Georgie Palmer's acting and make up were very good, as Old Granny Blake and he elicited much laughter.
 Mrs. Belle Jacobs gave graceful and modest representation of Mary Blake. Her costumes were very pretty and tasteful.
 Mrs. M. Head was fttingly stately, digni6ed and we'll dressed as the gouty generals better half.
 The costumes, some of which had been imported from San Francisco, were handsome and appropriate and the stage left nothing to be desired
 The absence of the big drum from the orchestra was gratefully noticed by all the members of the audience, with ex- ception of the small boys.
 During the interlude between this piece and the ensuing, several specalties were given,
 The Parker brothers gave an eXhibi- ton of their acrobatic skill, which was loudly applauded, The high kicking of the older brother was something really marvellous.
 Mir. Schoenfeld's children then gave a quaker song, appropriate in costume, with great demureress and ability.
 Next came MT. Bgnon, in long and spirited clog dance, which earned him hearty encore.
 After this, Master Ganzhorn-a pretty little tot, scarcely yard high-sang a verse, which brought down the house.
 Georgie Palmer closed the interlude, by character song and the curtain was then rung up on the time honored farce of Betsy Baker, or too attentive by half' the caste of which was as follows: Marmaduke Mouser. =. Frank Prescott Mir. Grumpy. y..............W w. A. Nash Mrs. Mouser. ...... Mrs. Belle Jacobs Betsy Baker. ......... Mrs. C. Gregory
 Mir. Prescott quite astonished his friends, as Marmakuke Mouser, acting with such degree of naturalness, as to almost lead to the awful suspicion that he has had considerable practice, in mak ing love on the sly. His make up was very good and the energy ds. layed by him could only be possible to on: who is constantly coming in contact with gal vanic battery.
 Dick Rule had been cast for the part of Grumpy. The role was taken by w. Nash, who had mastered the rather long part very credtably, in 50 shor, ! time.
 Mrs. Belle Jacobs WIS attractive, graceful and pleasing, as the wife of the hoary headed old scamp, Mol5a.
 As Betsy Baker, Mrs. Gregory again left nothing to be desired. The part was dressed and acted to perfection.
 Altogether the performance was a most enjoyable one. The aulienc- were unanimous in the opinion that they had received a great deal more than their moneys worth.
