Entertainments. pRoCToa'S OPERA HoJJsE.

MT. Frederick Warde and his company ap- | peared in ''The Mountebank" at Proetor's | Opera House last evening. The play is es- here by MT. Tom Ricketts under the title ! "Duvar." It is an adaptation from the 1 French of D'Ennery, the author of ''The Two l Orphans" For all that, it did not seem to | interest the audience and it is not one that can score @ great success for this really l talented actor MT. Wardes portrayal of tho role "Belphegar" was admirable. He played the part tor all it was worth, but it seemed like so much good acting wasted. and the theater should be crowded. He is a thorough Shakespearian actor, and his as sumption of the role of the "Duke of Glou- cester" is we'll remembered by those who saw him play 1t here last season.
