The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1890-10-26

does some good song-and-dance business. The
clever Boisset troupe of acrobats bring the pro-
gramme TO close. Conroy and Fox, Miss
Kate Davis, Dutch DAILY, and the only and origi-
nal Cinquevalli are in their specialtes the best
in the field on the stage. There was, in fact,
noticeable absence of che stnutty-favored busi-
ness last night all through the programme.
Cinquevalli is the king pin in Juggling and bal
ancing feats Dutch DAILY fairly makes the con-
certina talk, and talks himself to the audience
in grotesque and sometimes witty manner.
Kate Davis is inimitable in her singing and
recitatons, using voice in her work OF most
wonderful compass. To back up these phe-
nomenal stars are Miss Bella Black, who sings
sweetly; the Brothers Poluski, clever English
comedians; Bob Slavin, IN negro dialect
speciality; particularly good mandolin sextette,
and the Hanlon brothers, who must be seen to
be appreciated. 1t is refreshing novelty to
be entertained by such q company after the
moss-grown and bald-headed aggregations of
so-called stars that are inflicted on Brooklyn
and New York audiences week after week"
Faust UP to Date"
The brightest and merriest performance of
burlesque may be looked for in the production
Of "Faust Up to Date" by the London Gaiety
Company at Lincoln Hall tomorrow evening.
The performances by this company have been
more than well spoken Of, and some OF the
features, namely, the famous skirt dancers, have
created sensation The burlesque is pure fun,
anu ID may PulHCeuJly presented. 1nere are car
loads OF scenery, magnificent costumes worn by
bevy of the prettest and shapeest English
and American girls that could be collected and
the play itself is said to be full Of merriment
and fun and contains some OF the prettiest
music heard either in comic opera or opera
bouffe for years. The company is made up of
the best burlesque artists in this country
headed by that splendid soubrette, Miss Kate
Castleton, who will play the role Of Marguerite.
The chorus is large, and from beginning to end
L said there s q in tha Y,Io
Some Of the "Faust Up to Date" music is IA
miliar from hearing it by the imitators OF the
skirt dance, but the original girls of the Gaety
Company play various roles and incidentally
Introduce two or three Of their demure and en-
trancing dances. The principal dances are the
quartette in blue, quartstte in pink, and the
two solos, ala Tambourine'' and "La Giles
sonda." The latter is the one that has made
the sensation.

favorite here. The advance sale has been un-
usually large The Pittsburg Dispatch has the
following about "An Irish Arab ~ "The play
isamixture of comedy, burlesque, and spectacle,
but all very good. Bobby Gaylor as ORd7,-Aqa1,
grand vizier of Myra, had a splendid opportu-
nifty to display his ability in impersonating the
jolly, sharp-witted Hibernian, bubbling over
with dry mirth and antics. while his singing
and dancing kept the audience in continu-
GUS fit of laughter w. G. Deal looked and
acted the Sultan tc perfection. Clarance Handy
side made capital Jack Bransconsbe. Marie
Rene, In the character Of Anineh, a fiery daugh-
ter Of the DESERT Sactsd with much feeling, and
her efforts were thoroughly appreciated. Lottie
Hagan was G'1lnare, the Sltan's favorite and
we don't blame him for his choice. In the
fourth act the Lamatine brothers are introduced,
and they give very superior acrobatic act.
Bobby Gaylors singing and funny stories were
as usual, received with rounds of applause
The scenery was very good"

Notes OF the Stage
Helen DauvraY's new play, 1.-The Whirlwnd"
does not seem to have caught on violently with
the New York public. There was some talk
about closing the season and disbanding the
company at the end of the New York engage
ment last night, but the piece, which has been
partly rewritten will now be taken to Roston
