AMUSEMENTS

ALBAUoH's.-It was as cool as q cucumber at
Albaugh's last night and q fine audience had
gathered there to hear the Carleton Company
in The Mikado," opera which does not
need diagram to identify it. The company
IS improving steadily in its work and the result
last night was quite as satisfactory as could be
desired from company which does not claim
to have pay roll OF $4,000 night aud carry
S5OO,OOO worth Of scenery and effects. II the
general result in the matter of bright and
pretty costumes, glittering stage settings aud
chorus and orchestra Combinations was good
the individual result was not less so and the
applause and beautiful flowers were competent
testimony in any court of the appreciation of
the audience. Miss Alice Garlic as Nutki Poo
was more than usually attractive. not the least
cause of which was her No1lhi Poo attire; Miss
shd Miss Vincent's Pti Sing and Miss Lang
don's Peep Boo were well done, each in its way;
MIR. Bigelow's ho-ko was excellent and nobody
fell short OF the requirements OF the part.
Again tonight.
NArIoSAL.-Last night was an opening night.
The play was Inherited" a collaboration by
Mr.. Richard Davey and Miss Lucy Hooper. and
| the player was Maude Granger. Inherited" is
an emotion in four weeks-a four-act emo
| tonal drama. in other words-in which Heien
Cdr11ttterS (Maude Granger, with an Inherited
trait of insanity, marries Julian Raymond
Harry Mainhall), and III time goes mad, leav-
ing year-old child and Alice Pelham to her
husband. After five years her husband. hav-
ing had the marriage annulled marries Alice.
and on this day the wife's reason is restored
and she escapes from the asylum and comes
home. She comes, however, too late to do
much else except to take poison, and this she
does and dies. Barring an excess of tears. the
play is strong in the strength of stirring emo
tons. and Miss Granger handles the character
with power aud repressive force that greatly
intensifes her work. Her mad scenes were
particularly good and true to nature in the in
depreciation, and her dying very agreeably
lacked the narrowing element. Her support.
in the MAN. was not good, but it may be en-
couraged and improved.
HAREIs' BrJoU.-Those who enjoy hearty
laugh Will lind ample opportunity at The per-
formance at the BIjou this week. The audi
ence is kept in continual roar. The Cav
thorns. the clever pair of comedians in Little
Nugget" scored hit last night and Jennie
Goldthwate i'll the title role was charming and
her songs and dances were cleverly rendered
Taken all in ALL the company is away up and
the Bijou should do big business this week.
Again tonight.
KERSAS's-A combined dramatic and spe-
cialty enter tainment held the boards here last
night and pleased large audience. The drama
entitled 1.-The Diamond Sheriff." was especially
blood-curdling and just suited the small boy in
the gallery, who followed the hair-breadth es-
capes of the hero and the final downfall of the
villain with intense interest. The speciaites
were al! good and the sparrlng bout at the close
of the performance exciting and artistic
Jimmy Ryan and George fiagan were the
tcstants and their exhibition thoroughly pleased
the large audience. Again tonight

Of the Venetian Troubadours an orchestra COM
posed of seven young ladies from the Eden

mer Evening (waltz), Paloma Spanish fanta-
