The Pyko opera Company NJ she
Pavilion.

The production of The Mikodo by the
Pyke Opera Company at the Pavilion
last night was Witnessed by an audience
both large and enthusiastic. The piece
has been set ON the stage in a very meri-
torious manner, and the members Of the
company show careful training and q
keen appreciation Of the paris they
enact. The chorus sing and act we'll
together, and Mr.. Pyke has shown very
good taste Id the selection Of his troupe.
some of the female members being re-
markably pretty. As 'Ko- -Ko, /" Mr.. Clark
did some clever acting last night, and
added to his laurels as q comedian, while
Messrs. Cornell and Colby, in the roles
Of "Pooh Bah" and 'sPish Tush," also
did effective work. Mr.. Pyke made an
excellent "Nanki Poo," and as Yum
YUM Miss Manfred added many to her
/ long list Of admirers. The rest OF the
company did we'll, and the customary
| first night bitches were noticeably alb
sent. An incident of the evening was
| the opening by s'Pooh Bah" Of copy OF
| an illustrated paper showing q portrait OF
| President Cleveland, at which the enthu-
siasm Of the audience rose to fever heat,
the Kisses Of the few Republicans being
completely drowned. :.
| At the matinee to-day the Mdscotte will
be performed, and the Mikado will take
the boards again at the evening perform

ssirish Arlstocracy,, By she barry 4
| Fay Company.
| The Barry & Fay combination changed
lMcKenna's Filtration to Irish dristocrdcy
at Turner Hall last night. The play
goers Of Los Angeles had taken very
enthusiastic fancy to the former piece,
and were little nervous about the pro-
posed change, fearing the new piece
might not prove as mirth-provoking ae
1.-THE old. Those who assembled last night
were pleasantly undeceived in this matter.
irish Aristocracy is irresistibly funny
|uproariously funny. It has been seen by
many in mangled shape as Maldoon's
Picnic. But in this perfect form, and as
produced by Barry and Fay with their
|excellent support, it is no more like the
Picnic than chalk is comparable to cheese
as an article Of desert. The first act,
whose meaning is we'll conveyed
in the line. Think of your head in the
morning" is side-splitting in the extreme.
The same absence of anything offensive
to the most refined taste il noticeable
which characterized the Filtration. There
is the same clean-cut wit, rollicking fun
and persifage in the new piece as in the
old. There is good singing and
excellent dancing as features o.
the entertainment. To-day all tastes are
: to be pleased as the Filtration is under
lined for the matinee, and Aristocracg fol
the closing performance this evening
There is no attraction on the bills fol
next week.
