Clunis opera House.

The World was produced last night
to fair house, with ]. 2. Little, who ar
ranged the play of the version presented, in
the leading part. The company is light in
caliber. The most natural and selfcon-
tanned of the company is the soubrette.
Jennie Graham. Mr.. Little would be more
effective if not so repressed in action and
studiedly heavy in his reading. Melo-
drama does not necessarily mean total alb
sence of vivacity. The play is thoroughly
Bowery in its character, and the very
essence of Buntline, Marryatt and South
worth romance. The scenery was fine, no.
tably the realistic ship and raft scene and
the river panorama. The piece will be re-
peated tonight
