presented Handsome Jack" last
evening, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the weather was very disagreeable
there was large audience present
The play was given in very accspta-
BILE manner, with all Its sensational
scenes fully developed. Miss Hunt and
Mr.. Robert Neil sang several songs in
first-class style, and were heartily::ap.
plauded. The play will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow night and at
the matinee tomorrow afternoon.
Next Monday night the Atkinson &

talented young actress Miss Floy Gro

one week, during which they will pre-
sent eight different plays, all of which
are excellent productions. On Monday
night they will present The Octoroon,
and the Lynn, Mass, Daily Evening
Item In speaking of their performance
In that city, says:
The managers of Music Hall looked
very glum at seven o'clock Tuesday
night, for the storm was at his height,
but at eight O'Clock their features were
wreathed in one gigantic smile, for in
that hour the house had filled to over.
1 hOWihks 1shtu hopb low 0Wh1s 4uc
curtain rose on the Octoroon with Miss
Crowell as Zoe," Mr.. Sullivan as
Jacob McCloskey," Mr.. Adams as
Scudder,' and Ned Dudley as Old
Pete" Every scene went smoothly
and effectively. Applause was unstin-
ted, and every one in the audience
pleased. The reception which greeted
Miss Crowell showed what firm favor.
ite she has become here. Mr. Sullivan q
was hardly less hearty, for he too is q
favorite and fine actor, every way
way worthy to support an artist like
Miss Crowell.
The company comes highly recon-
mended, and rs the admission will only
be 10 and 20 cents or 80 cents for a
reserved seat, there is no doubt hui
the house will be crowded at each per.
formance.
A number of popular attractions are
booked at the Opera House, among
them being A pair of Kids" and
Hoyt's last and greatest success, " A
Rag Baby" which is now being pre-
sented to over1owing houses IN the
