Even under the elements of the burst
ing heavens the Wilbur company draws
to it's footlights large and enthusiastic
houses, In view OF the fact that
"Erminio," under the somewhat per-
verified adaptation entitled 1.-TWO Vaga-
bonds" was presented heretofore, and
not long time since, the continued
patronage which marks the Wilbur sea-
son is suggestive of one or two things.
Either the Wilbur company is capable

Wilbur entertainments are popular IS
because of their light and comlcal quail
tiles. A serious show could not be fol-
lowed with absorbing interest during
such weather as this, unless it were some
new sociological fad to which the con-
yentions of upper-tendom would, OF ne
cessity, bow, as. for instance. the Beau
Brummel, now the study and gossip: OF
Gotham. But the greatest claim which
the Wilbur company have, when they
play with mood becoming jolly enter
tainers, is the versatility Of the
company's principal support. In the
person of Miss Eirwin we have so far
found nothing which is tiresome.. Her
expressions, mental or physical, are
Kaleidoscope, and it is fair to presume
that we shall yet see her in new pic
lures, as the Wilbur repertoire IN
ravels. She presents pretty "Fan.;
chon," but she appears much better and
to greater advantage in other roles IN
which we have seen her. Mr.. Coniey,
whose stage grace is sadly at fault, IS
singing splendidly. His Leon Car.
net" last night was sweet and full OF
spirit. 1t also partook OF a humorous
plight, in coy side banter enacted by
Miss Kirwin, when she led the tenor up
to the usual osculatory act, and then
coouetishlys sighted the abashed
fellow. With admirable gallantry,
Mr.. Conley, ON being recalled,
caught the star somewhat after the
celebrated 'shaIf Nelson, "and mustache
and lip went 'tsip. Mr.. Jones is acting
better each night, and his toilet was
| more than attractive. Mr.. Kohnle and
Mr.. Ire Denick together compose the
keystone of the theme, which, with Miss
Kirwin's work, makes the Wilbur OPP
eras popular. The comedy part in ''Er-
| mimic" is replete with new and start
| ling side plays and improvisations, and
| i'm such work Mr.. Kohnle is by far the
most clever comedian we have suffered
| for such a prolonged season without
! conspiring to hang him. His wife,
modestly hiding her identity behind
ssMiss," is a leading spirit in the
| chorus, and is an accomplished lady.
Mrs. Ire Denick, another of our shapely
| and very modest entertainers, appeared
altogether charming last night, and her
toilet was the handsomest in the COM
pany. Belle Hamilton is model OF
grace, and capable of carrying. better
parts than have been allotted to her,

| noticeable in his singing and acting:
