Mr.F. c. Bangs Last Night.

"Francesca da Rimini" was the tragic
attraction that drew a small audience 10
the Grand opera house last. Mr.. r. G.
Bangs appeared In the role Of Lanciotto,
the hunebbaek. He labored under the
disadvantage OF folio up two other
first class companies IN this city 90
closely that people have had a surfeit OF
Amusement, and while Bangs made a
great hit here few years ago In "The
Silver King" yet the theatre public Of
today, always shifting, have somewhat
forgot him. Then as this Is his first
attempt at anything SO heavy as this
startling tragedy, people were nnac-
qusinted with his powers, as Lanciotto,
the Jealous, suspicious, morose soldier
husband Of the beautiful francesca, his
acting was robust and powerful, al
though his hunchback was not so home
" as his lines seemingly called for. Ii is
a grand character, that Is perhaps taken
better by Bangs than by Barrett, for
while Bangs conoeives the soldier to be
rough, unpublished half savage, as the
times were In which the tragedy Is writ
ten, Barrett plays IL with a scholarly
finish that modernizes IL too much.
Mr. Bangs was called before the cur
tain five times last night
Miss Helen Leigh's Francesca" WAS
not beautiful. but che plays 1t with q
nsturalness and perfect ardor that thrills
oDd intere sts the audience.
The Count Pao o" OF Mr.. John M.
Sturgeon was played with fine voice
and good stage presence. His lines are
fine and greatly aid him. In the last
scene, the tragedy is worked very
slowly, though the audien e showed a
good deal of patience until all were
finally killed. The Rita OF Miss Alice
Endres was played very well. Her
lines help her out better than her fa"e,
though she has head Of beautiful
luxuriant hair.
The costumes and part Of the support
Of Mr.. Bangs are from Mr.. Barrett, he
having abandoned this tragedy.
The play will be repeated tonight.

Isn't It Time to Halt 2

From the Philadelphia Press.
The aping Of English manners and
customs in this country seems TO have
reached its climax at the present session
Of the South Carolina legislature. A
correspondent in describing it states
that the presiding officer OF each house
wears q gown OF blue and royal purple
silk velvet; the clerks (which Is olarks)
are attired in flowing gowns Of black
silk, and the sergeant-at-srms opens the
daily sessions with the ancient mace
and sword Of state, and members while
occupying their seats are allowed to
wear their hats. just as II they were In
the English house Of commons.

The little fellow said quite seriously
the other day: II had determined never

When the little fellow told the young
girl that he had changed his mind about
