Entertainments. LEWIS MORRISoN'S FAJIST


 The Mephisto of Goethe's great 'tFaust"
 has been appropriated, so to speak, by
 Lewis Morrison in 8 manner highly ar
 tistic and striking Rarely does this char
 acter receive the finished touch of diabol- ical realism in which this careful actor has enveloped it. The great tragedy stands forth with new and clear strength under his treatment, and this was apparent to everyone in the large audience which wit
 messed his fine production of Faust" at
 Proctor's last night. The touching story of Faust and Marguerite is presented with an intensity which cannot fail to hold the attention of an audience, and the vivid personality of the Mephisto of Mir. Morrison gives vigor to the piece throughout. The stage effects were excellently arranged, and the scenery
 was rich and picturesque. The beautiful arrangement of Marguerite's cottage and
 garden, the Grand Plaza of Nuremburg and the weird, terrible representation of the summit of the Brocker, with it's witches and fires and final pouring of the terrors of hell upon it's miserable wretches were
 enthusiastically applauded. Miss Rosabel
 Morrison imbued the character of Mar
 guerite with beautiful sweetness and un- effected pathos in keeping with the high quality of the production. Faust, as delineated by Charles B. Welles, was full of the passions of human weakness though not as strong at certain points as was most praiseworthy. The piece will be repeated throughout the week.
 BURKE's CIRCUS.
 On Wednesday next Burk's Transatlan- tic circus will spread it's canvas upon the lot at Howard and Kimberly avenues. A
 novelty of the show is an offer of S10O to any couple who will be publicly married in the ring.
 CIRCLE ST. LOUIS.
 The entertainment to be given at the Atheneum tonight under the auspices of the Cercle St. Louis promises to be most interesting affair. The musical and liter ary exercises upon the program are of a character that will prove highly popular with those who visit the hall. A large at tendance is anticipated.
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE. The regular season of this popular re- sort opened last evening with the Vaidis Sisters Novelty company as an attraction.
 The theater has been completely renovated during the summer months and was nicely decorated in honor of the occasion. No better performance could have been chosen to open the season with. The Vaidis sisters are born gymnasts, who have been before the public in this country and in their native England since their child hood. No more daring, graceful and fas- cinating trapeze performers can be found anywhere. The Bratz brothers also per formed the most wonderful of acrobatic feats and it is doubted if they have their equal in this country. There is one other first-rate artist in the troupe and that is MT. Edward Giguire, the quartette vocalist. He sang bass, tenor, alto and soprano with apparently equal ease, and all this won him storms of applause. The other features were all good and are such as are to be found in all first class vaudeville performances. The theater was more than packed last evening and crowd ed houses are sure to greet every enter l tainment given by the present company l and the large attendance will be fully de aorvad
