Entertainments.
AT the metropolitan Theater last night
there was packed house, and standing
room was at a discount The entertain
ment was by Leavitt's All Star Speciality
Company. 1t was thoroughly good per- |;
tormance, novel in the main and sustained !
the interest from the beginning to the end. |
The marionette or puppet division was of |
least interest and precisely similar exhibit !
tons have been frequently given here. |
The Donnells are capital dancers, the /
Avons grotesquely humorous and skilled !
acrobats. The Sisters Milton, if not lead |
ing, were at least novel, their dancing and |
costuming being entirely new. Dun |
can, the ventriloquist, has been here !
before, but his superior in the art has /
not made his bow in Sacramento. The |
Pylades are character mimics. and capitally /
made up" as Bismarck, Emperors VIII |
liam and Frederick, Harrison and Morton, |
Cleveland and Thurman, Napoleon, Listz, |
Wagner, Longfellow, Shakespeare, etc. but !
the DISCUSSES as Senator Stanford and John |
F. Swift were less satisfactory. The Py- |
ladies', however, were remarkably clever. |,
As also is Keller, who, crippled in his legs, |
walks upon his hands and performs pre- /
digious feais of strength. Farrell and Will |
mott are good character dancers, the Gill |
lenos excellent musical clowns, and the |
ZannetO japanese troupe of iugglers and |
equllibrists, capital performers. The troupe |.
Will givea matinee performance at O'Clock |
to-day, and final one tonight.
