A Clever Comedy at the Newman
ket and Several Concerts

A Clever Comedy at the Newman
ket and Several Concerts.
1t Is seldom that our theater goerS
have an opportunity to witness the
performance of such a clever comedy
as that of the surprises of Divorce"
presented by the Arthur Rehan COM
pany at the Newmarket last night. The
comedy is all unusually bright and
sparkling one, and the surprises follow
each other in such rapid succession that
the audience was kept in an almost con-
tinuous state of hilarity. Mr.. Rehan's
name always guarantees a good com
pany, and with one exception, his pres
ent company is one of which he may
well feel proud. But, unfortunately for
him, as well as the success of
the play, that one is the
most important parts in the play.
Miss Edith Crane as 90" the chief
prize in the matrimonial lottery, is rer-
tainly the handSomest and sweetest az
treSs who has graced the st. Paul
boards this season. Judging from her
work last night we expect to see a rise
as rapid as that of May Anderson,
whom she very closely resembles. The
lady has magnetism aud very SWEEP
voice. Miss Adele Waters Diana"
was a charming representation, while
Mrs. JamisOn, as the terrible mother
in-law, was simply inimltable. Harry
HOttO. as ButtercOrn, kept the audience
shouting whenever he appeared. Burr
Mcintosh, as Tom Dangerous, was the
acme of naturalness. His work was
very heartily enjoyed. Clarence Her
itage. as the old sea captain, was
greeted with shout of approval every
time his by gum" was uttered. The
Other parts were all we'll played, with
the exception of the "DOuOeidot" OF
Frank E Jamison. He neither looked
nor acted the part. But the acting of
the other members anu the brightness
of the play itself made an almost per-
feet evening of honest enjoyment. The
play will be presented three more nights
and a Wednesday matinee, and good
houses should De the rule.
There was large and distinctively
musical audience at the Newmarket
theater yesterday afternoon to listen to
the sacred concert given by the MuSln
Concert company. If the audience
which heard the performance at the
Peoples church the other evening was
enthusiastic it is difficult 10 find term
which will tittingly describe the delight
exhibited by those present yesterday.
NJ. Musin played the violin as only
Musin plays it. He was applauded to
the echo and ach encore was no more
than the blilliance OF the performance
merited.
Nj. Ausin's performance is magnif-
cent one, and the fact was recognized ny
all who heard him Yesterday. The
wonderful ease and perfection of eXecu-
ton marking his Interpretation of the
most difficult music eXtant have never
been surpassed 10y any vi0liniSt in st.
st. Paul, and MuSln is the musical hero
OF the hour. Miss Anna Louise Tanner
has all exquisite soprano voice, and her
singing We sterday was one OF the m )St
praisewOrthy features of the enterLain-
ment. Miss Tanner was in good voice
and sang eXquisitely, receiving a merited
encore. Charlotte Nic0ai, Eduard
Scharf andSgr. Bologna contributed their
songs 10 complete the perfect beauty OF
the whole, and each performer was
greeted with the most tlattering ap-
plauSe. The duet from Don Giovanni"
by Miss Nicolai and SIgnnr Boil
Onga brought down the house and cOm-
PEELED the popular duo to respond to the
inevitable encore. The duet, Pie aux
ClercS," (Musin) was equally well r.
ceived as had been the previous NUM-
bers, and NJ. Musin and Miss Tanner
Were compelled to return repeatedly to
bow their acknowledgment Of the APP
plause. SCR. B0lOgna's singing of the
"Bedouin Love Song" was magnificent.
He sang, if possible, with greater power
and expression than usual, and fully
justified the reputation he has attaiUed
in st. Paul. The entire concert was Of
achdracter seldom presented 10 music
lovers in this CITY, and the entire salts
faction given was evidenced by the
plaudits following each number and the
delighted comments which marked the
interludeS.
