fore been produced in this city; and the
version, such as was given last evening
in Greenwall's opera house. is not often
witnessed anywhere-it was the original
translation, adopted to the stage, and is
superior to the dramatzed edition even
performed by Mr.. Booth.
Comment upon q drama OF this de-
scription is almost supsrfiuous; for its
surviving SO long is alone tribute to its
worth. The strange design, complete

tive throughout.
or Mr.. Salvlul's impersouation of the
title role too much might not be written;

that his illustrious name has full

His elocution and enunciation is near

and expression, as only appertain-

only entraced those unused to such ex-

but also lent peculiar emphasis to the
| delineatiOn. The slight accent, with the
| associations of the play, were especially
| appropriate, and his handling of the
! English language early evinced that q
| student, uufettered by idioms and local

| vernacular in all its purity and
richness. While at times there was
| something of superabundance in manner
| and tone, yet we must remember the
nature OF the part and that of the artist.

was not the least of the many attractive
features of the performance. Her rem
diton of Mariana gave to that role no
little interest, and from first to las. the
house appreciated her good work
The company was a strong one, and
much credit is due to the management
for the cousiderate organization of the
support to n great star-an occurrence
that is not common. Tho large number
of excellent people and properties car
ried by the troupe evinces their due re-
spect to the Importance of the whole
business.
The audience was one of the most dis
eliminating this season, and, though the
notice of the coming was necessarily
short, owing TO fortuitous circumstances
n large attendance illustrated the appre-
citation OF the event by the people of this
city.
This evening the Georgia ministries
appear.
OF this company the Daily Chronicle of |
Spokane Falls, Wash, speaks as follows:
The curtain arose on the opening over |
ture at the minstrel show last night, the |
sign of standing room ouly'' was dis |
played. Every seat was taken and |
most all of the available room occupied. |
This immense audience came up ey- |
pecting 1irst-elass entertain
ment, and they were not dis
appointed in the least The mem
bers of this company are ali artists from
the top of the list 10 the bottom, any
combined. they give the best show OF
this kind ever seen in the opera house.
The first part Of the entertainment was
the opening overture with the prince of
comedians, Billy Kerssnds, Frank NAL
lory, VIII Eldridge and Ed Mallord as
end men, who conrused the au-
dience with their funny sayings
and bright new jokes. The singing
was great feature of the show, and it
seemed as if the audience would never
become satisfied, every member on the
programme being obliged to respond to
an encore. The inimitable comedian.
Billy kersands, has lost none of his old
time humor, and last night kept the
audience in constant state of convul-
sions. The singing of the Quartette,
Messrs. Watts, Wootsn, Howard and
Walker, was received with loud demon
STATIONS, and it was not until they
had responded to the third encore that
the audience would let them retire.
