The Kiralfys at AlbauEhT.
The theatrical sensation Of Philadel.

was the Kiralfy Brothers magnificent
spectacular production founded on
Jules Nerne's Around the World in
Eighty Days The globe trotting
record Of Mr. Phineus Fogg has been
considerably damaged since then by
Miss Nellie Blye, Citizen George
Francis Train ct a., but the interest in
the great spectacle as presented by the
Kiralfys suffers no shadow Of change
with the lapse of time. A succession
Of stage pictures Of surprising beauty
or bewildering ingenuity keeps the
spectator on the alert from curtain TO

Harris BiJou Theatre.
One Of the largest audiences Of the
season attended Harris Bijou Theatre
last night and witnessed the production
of Gaylords dramatIzation Of "Out 10
the Streets a melOdramh Of more than
ordinarily striking features. The pOpu-
lar young actor n s. Wood, assumed
in very ereditable way the character
OF HIrrg Farley He, IN gallant man
neT, protects the interests Of a child
whose father has deserted his family,
and also sees that the mother Is not
molested by the villain who has left her
and her child 10 suffer The city Of
New York Is the scene of the plot, and
there are many vivid stage pictures and
pleasing dramatic effects. The part Of
blind Florence, represented by little
Lille EddingeT, shows remarkably
clever work on the part Of a child so
| young. Ida Lewis, Laura Lewis, Harry
Dalton and Charles T. Herbert, an tilled
their parts very aCceptably, and, as a
whole, the company is well balanced.
The scenery and stage settings are excel
lent, and "Out In the Streets is sure 10
do a good week s business.
