Night at the Grand.

The Favorite at the People's--TO-
Night at the Grand.
No actress OF actor among the many
who have been introduced to Minneapo-
lis theater-gOers at the Peoples, has
been received with greater enthusiasm
than Miss Alice Kemp. the new sou
brette, who made her first bow last
evening. Her reception was nothing
less than an ovation. The theater was
packed from pit to dome. The audience
waited eXpectantly until the sec
ond act, when Miss Kemp APP
peared as Carrots" dressed in
a short, ragged dress. Her bright face
and rOugish eyes began to pave her way
to the hearts of the audience; then her
acting added enthusiasm; she sung
song with a rOusing encore. and re-
SpOnded with a hOrnpipe which took
the house by storm. Her acting, her
singing and her dancing alone would
make her a favOrite. 1t is rarely, in
deed, that all three are combined with
the high degree of excellence which
Miss Kemp showed. The management
of the Peoples are to be heartily con-
graduated on the last addition to their
company. She throughout the play
sustained her part with even excellence,
and was the constant delight OF the
audience. Her humor is electric; her
pathOs is fine. Thomas Hamilton,
sold 40" was true to life. thoroughly
well carried out. 1t was study,
and the student could find no flaws.
Scarcely less popular with his
audience than Miss Kemp last evening
was John w. Burton as Col. Billy"
total wreck" Nobody who saw Bur
toms Middle or his Pat could recognize
the same man behind the rOSeate nose
of Col. Billy" Burton was lost in the
role. He filled out the part with the
finish of an artist. He was the
old drunkard to nicety-never
overdraWing it. Nelson De Vine
was not done with that actors usual
care. j. B. Brown was a fair Tom
Gully. Wallace Shaw played Black
Sam with good effect. Edwin Terry as
Col. Snow, who never lost a case, and
Carrie Strong as old MlsSissip9
fill all the requirements OF
their roles, Miss Strong deserving
especial mention. Lydia Knott was
handsome "Belle." On the whole 49,
was eXcellently produced. 1t jumped
into favor last night and must prove the
most successful attraction of the sea-
son, 1t runs all this week excepting
tonight, when a Republican rally oc-
ours in the theater.
