Entertainments.
PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE.

Miss Lisle Leigh and first-rate dramatic
company presented "Alone in London" at
Proctor's Opera House last evening. The
play is familiar one, and although its plot
is most improbable one, it furnished an
opportunity for the display of some real
istic scenery and novel stage effects. 1t has
never been presented here by SO good a COM
pany as this one, which is under
the management Of De Shelly and
Coote. Miss Leigh has played the
part Of the heroine, who finds herself alone
in London,ve naturally and earnestly. She
has pleasing stage presence, a good voice
and her pronunciation shows education and
refinement. It is to be hoped that she will
appear here again in role more worthy of
her talent. Mr.. Charles A. Smith
was also excellent as Orchard Reds
cliffe," and Mr.. J. e. Bauer deserves
special mention for his digni6ed
impersonatlon of the part Of the old banker.
Mr.. William Davidge played two very dissi-
milar roles aceeptably and the remainder of
the company was fully equal to the require
meats of the play. The play will be repeat
ed tonight and tomorrow afternoon and
evening. These performances are recon-
mended to all lovers of sensational drama.
