STARLIGHT.
A Conglom GRAFTON Of Foo'ishness Wholly Tn.
relieved BY Any Plot or
Senfimant.

Miss Verona Jarbeau and her company
in the above farce comedy did some
speciality work in general conglomera-
ton of foolshness wholly unrelieved by
any plot or sentiment. The number oil
persons engaged was limited, and not ali
of those he'd tasks OF anv conse-
quence, the properties being In
significant. While much wat
funny from sheer ahsurditv
the occasional singing gave what pth
there was to the entire arrangement.
The constant encoring by thase deter
mined to enjoy what was in sight served
TO spin out very airy performance.
The usual gags about the author OF
"Beautiful suow," ''Johnnie Get
Your Cum etc were INDUCED. Still
there was q great deal OF merriment to
be found, and n large and good humored
audience m>,e the most Of it.
a.sMr. Coo,e, though something OF an
&4sfsn, or of George Wilson. kept up n
! sustained interest in his passionless and
queer wit, rs Mr.. "Qnaver. Messrs.
! Amaun and O'Nell were clever in their
respective roles of the Du,chman and
freshman, interlarded with music and
songs. The tenor singing of Mr.. Clark
! was fine. and MIR. Sellery had remark
able voice.
Miss Jarbeau was out Of voice: but she
danced we'll. and intoned some COOL
verses of local interest. extolling many
of the excellent qualities of this citv,
and calling attention to the need of
park and lights at night. Her face was
very expressive.
Other ladies kicked high and grace
fully also, and were not inferior in grace
ard looks.
The evening, all considered, was not
an unHmusing one.
Monday afternoon and evening Count
and Countess Magri, Baron Mngri aud
company of speciality artists will appear
at the opera house. The Countess Magrt
was formerly Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb.
She has been constantly before the pub
lie for the pnst thirty years, and
her popularity. with ladies and
children especially, has scarcely
diminished. She has appeared before
all the crowned heads and the nobility of
Europe and the jewels presented to her
by these royal personases represent for
tune In themselves. 1t Is said that the
countess at her receptions wears $50. 900
worth of diamonds. Count Magri, her /
husband aud Baron Mngri, his brother,
are both intelligent little gentlemen. |
