AROUND THE WORLD.

Tomorrow evening the theater-goers OF
this city will have an opportunity to wit
ness "A performance sucn that has never
been seen in the city before, and no doubt
many seasons will pass before another of
such a character may be seen that will
come anyways near its equal. 1t will be
one of the most stupendous, bewildering
spectacular productions that was ever in
the west. The piece. itself, Eighty Days
Around the World" has never been seen
here before except by an inferior company,
which did not contain a single feature
or n single character of the
original production, which will appear
here tomorrow night under the personal
direction of Messrs. Imre and Blossy kir-
alfy, who have staged all of the most
phenomenal spectacular successes known
to the world, such as the BLACK Crook"
the ''Black Venus" Excelsior" EN-
chantment," the Failing of Nero" which
was produced with over 1000 people in the
cast at Long Island, two years ago, and
also was the main feature of p. L. Bar
NUNS circus this last season. The pro-
duction of around the World, which
appears here tomorrow evening, Is one
of their strongest and most
realistic productions containing seventy
five people in the cast, which is the largest
number of people that has ever appeared
here in any one company before. In fact,
of the large number of theatre-goers III
this city, it is safe to say that very few
have any notion of the wondrous mechan-
ism which is instrumental in adding to the
entertainment of Around the World" A

TRIGGERS. In the production of 'Around
the World" Mr.. Kiralfy uses %, 400 feet,or
over four miles of rope, $1,000 feet, or
nearly eleven square miles of canvas for
scenery, and over Is, 600 feet of wood for
batten, wings, and set pieces. Around
the World' requires in its presentation a
greater number of costumes than any
other similar productions; $50 costumes,
averaging ten pieces to n suit, or 800 ar
ticles of wearing apparel being used. and
yet Mr.. Kiralfy can, among all these gar
ments distinguish where even the smallest
portion is out of place.
JIM THE PENdAS.
The engagement of ~ VI. Palmer's com
pany. in" Jim the Penman," at the Crawford
Grand is interesting for one very particular
reason-the present tour of the play is
emphatically affirmed TO be the final one.
That the final tour of this great play
should be made memorable and worthy Of
it, the company engaged for its prOduc
lions is a specially strong one. Charles
Riegel will play James Ralston." a part
in which he has added much to his already
good reputation as a fine actor. In his
former appearance here, he has always
earned and received the strongest com
mendation. Louise Rial, who plays
nina" "Ralstons wife, has only under
taken thut part this year, and wherever
the company has appeared she has aroused
the grestset enthusiasm The "B;Iron
fairfield" of James l. Carhart. is
study Edwin Teavers plays the drawl-
ing drowsy. clumsy Captain Redwood, "
and his work in this neat comedy part
adds greatly to the fine acting of the play.
The other characters in the play are in
competent hands. Harday Vernon plays
Louis Percival:" William Sheldon,
Jack Ralston;" T. A Washburne, Lord
Drelincourt;" Lysander Thompson. DIR
