AMUSEMENT MATTERS.

The society drama to be presented the
coming week under the name of
s'Wedded But Not Mated" at the Peo-
pies theater is beyond doubt, one of
the strongest of this class of dramas
ever written. An analysis will give
but a faint idea of the opportunities
offered in this play, which is intensely
interesting from one end to the
other. There is not a drag in
the whole story or production.
The idea is clearly exposed in the
first act, and the piece glides
swiftly along to its denoue-
ment. Interesting situations and
exciting climaxes follow each other in
quick succession. The spectators eyes
are held to the stage by sort of fasci-
nation to see all end well, and the char
acterS are of that noble nature that tend
to inspire the interpreters. When the
drama begins certain arm in New
York are on the verge of bankruptcy,
and their only hope of saving their
name is by getting the daughter of one
OF the firm to marry a millionaire, who
is one OF three suitors for her hand in
marriage. This daughter loves and

lieve the critics of New York, Chicago,
Boston, Philadelphia and other cities in
the East and the management of the
spectacular burlesque, 1.-THE Arabian
Nights" will burn very brightly at the
Grand Opera house this week. The
piece enjoyed a run of thirteen weeks
in Chicago, and its success in that city
has since last August been duplicated
in the principal cities Of the East. ''The
Arabian Nights" is described by the
critics as marvellous combination of
pretty color, gorgeous scenery, exquis-
lite costumes, beautiful and shapely
women and ravishing music. Every
where there is novelty and quick sur
prises. The libretto was written by
Capt. Alfred Thompson, who also de-
signed the costumes and scenery; but
it is not upon the libretto that the piece
depends for its success-that is simply
the thread upon which hangs the SUI

marches which go to make up what is
reallya magnificent theatrical spectacle.
