Lydia Thompson's troupe of '' English
Burlesquers" drew good house last night
The burlesque was Penelope" in which
Ulysses, Icarius. Penelope Calypso and
other historic characters, with the interpo-
sition OF Cupid. are made to conduct them
selves in a iudicrous manner. The music
is very light, and but two of the women
can sing even a little" but several can
dance well and after the most novel steps.
Lydia Thompson kept the promise of Der
bills-very handsome scenery, very brilliant
and considerable rich costumery, and
" leg" show of the most pronounced order
1t was an exhibition Of precisely the kind
against which the legitimate drama has to
do battle, and over which it will some day
triumph. 1t is of the order that fills the
managerial purse and makes no address
whatever to the intellect. On the contrary.
it is simply fimsy excuse for thirty
women from the English variety stage to
pose, with the minimum of drapery As
Lydia Thompson made no concealment of
the character OF the burlesQue and of its
mounting, but advertised and billed it lust
as it is, she is entitled TO the credit
OF perfect fairness. 1t is true, also. as
matter of fact. that there was no
more excess OF undress display than OBJ
tanned IN the Carleton opera troupe recently
here, the difference being in the purpose
fulness manifest in, the first case, and
the thin claim to historic accuracy in the
latter. The Thompson company has few
handsome and graceful young women, but
if the whole lot Is typical of English variety
stage comliness, the American managers
can Guido the English with home produc-
ton, and have wide margin to spare The
best part of the show was that in which a
solitary American appeared, J. Bolton Rud-
clitfe, who is variety comedian of infinite
resources and more than clever in all he
does. AS to Lydia Thompson herself, who
so long ago was one of the few who startled
the American stage by introducing the bur-
lesque strip" business upon the American
stage, ste has withstood much better than
was expected the blasts of time and the
trials of years. and with the aid of stage
artifice quite as well fills her part in the
burlesque as any others of her sex in the
troupe fill theirs. a matinee this afternoon
