missed much, Tor it is impossible 20 con-
eeiye OF a more perfect and enchanting
Lady Isabel than she portrayed In the
Ininutest details was she sublime. Her
pretty little love and pouting scenes with
her husband, Archibald Carlyle. were
worked up to the highest pitch OF dramatic
effect. vet 80 natural that the audience was
irresistihiy drawn 10 her by an unconscious
sentiment Of affection, until. goaded by
jealousy. she elopes. Some OF her most
eyacting work was in the third act, when
she and Francis Levison, her betrayer,
come 10 an understanding which results in
q permanent separation; and also in her
painful interview with Lord Mt. Severn.
These were artistic beyond de-
scription in brief review. SO
conscientious, true and natural is Miss
Thompson in the rendition OF her various
roles that it's no wonder she is so popular
in the larger Cries. Mr.. William Yeranee's
Archibald Carlyle was piece of work that
stood out in bold relief in its manly
strength. His portraiture of the character
was beyond the pale OF hypercriticism.

WE 5 Co.-This is what the Olympia
Standard said of the company to appear at
Turn bail, Thursday, December 10, ore
night only: The We 3 Co. performed at
Columbia hail before large and delighted
audiences. Their entertainment consists
of medley of novelties and music, which
constitute succession of surprises and
keep up interest till the close. The trick in
which DIR. Casanova apparently cuts of
the arm, leg. ana finally the head OF an
other performer, is exceedingly well done.
The Four Carries are show by themselves,
and everything they do Is good. The boy
Martinetti is a champion of bicycilsts, de-
spite his extreme youth, riding ON ono
wheel with the ease, apparently, of q Wells
or Merrill. The browning feature. how
ever, at least for the young people, were
the donkeys Jack and Jill, which per-
formed various tricks indicating intelIi-
gence, notwithstanding the ass is generally
deemed TO be an example of stupidity.
The performance. taken as a whole, vas
far above those of the average of travelling

sale at Graham & Danlton's.
The HyERs SIsrFEs.--A more interesting
and attractive combination than that OF
the Flyers Sisters Company, Is not travel
ing upon this continent today and they
offer an evening OF music. fun and pathos,
which combines ali the elements OF an en-
tertainment at once refined and iovial.
There is an indescribable charm. an origin
ality and feeling of reality about the songs
% these dark-skinned artists which is a
positive relief from the hackneyed rubbish
OF the bogus cork-grimed variety man. The
music of these voeallsts seems To swell up
spontaneously from a reservoir of sensinil-
ity somewhere near the heart, and makes
evident to every listener the fruitfulness of
the saying that those who would make
others feel, must feel themselves" There
is weird witchery about these Southern
songs which, Ike the cry of the curlew,
tells story to the soul. The comic ele-
ments of the combination are genuine hu-
NOR, no stretched, strained effort after fun,
but that rollicking joyoGsness which hub
hles over in the darky nature. They APP
