Mrs. Langtry's company drew q
fairly good-sized audience to the
Opera House last night, and the gen.
eral comments were to the effect that
she had vastly improved since her last
engagement here. The play is
thoroughly English from first to lest
and 80 are the actors, who are thus
able TO better typify the scenes they
are enacting. Mr.. Coghlan makes q
good "Jack Fortinbras," conveying
very well the character of Mrs. Phil
lips ideal Observation-Disclosures,
though owing to the nature OF the
play, for a leading man he has
Comparatively little to do. Mrs. Lang
try has good chance for some forci-
BILE acting in the last act, and dies in
very theatrical manner, executing a
rather remarkable fall as the closing
episode. The dresses she wears in the
first three acts are very fine, and fur
nish the female part of the audience
an interest that keep their opera
glasses we'll in use.

The CaA ndtan Concert.
The entertainment given at the
Turnverein Hall was we'll attended
yesterday evening and passed off to
the general satisfaction OF those pres
ent. Some of the most prominent
performers failed to put in an appear
ance but additions were made by the
others 80 that there should be no dis
satisfaction regarding the length Of
the performance. The dancing of
Robbie Burns was the principal item
of attraction, and that young gentle
man fully repaid those who had pat
ronized the show. He danced both
cleyerly and gracefully and was ably
seconded by Miss Pearl Gleason, who
has long since established herself as
favorite here. Major Arbuckle rem
dered some humorous selections in a
very fetching manner, and the vocal
ization OF Miss Jennie Winston also
proved to be exceptionally good.
It was announced at the close OF the
performance that in future the Cana
dian Society will meet every Monday
evening in the Opera House Hall at
s o'clock, and an invitation was ex.
tended to one and all to attend.
