There were also many professional
singers from this city and New York
present and on the whole 1t was perhaps
the most critical gathering the perform
ers nave yet faced, which makes their
triumph all the more satisfactory.
Messrs. George L. Smith, William g.
Vidal, James Robottam, William G.. Bum
stead, James G. Thockmorton, William
Post, John Mclaughlin and Daniel
Bowley were the ushers and did their
best to provide seats for the audience and
supply them with Frank Ciark's artistic
programmes. Bat everything has it's
limit and long before the curtain went
up on the first act every seat in the house
and every spot which afforded a glimpse
Of the stage was occupied
II PERFORMANCE.
The performance Was, or tue whole, an
improvement over those given in the
Jersey City Athletic Club House Theatr G
during Thanksgiving week. Much of
this was due TO the improved stage Iacili-
ties which the Academy of Music af-
forded. There was much more room,
more stage like scenery. and better light
effects Than the little CLUB house theatre
possesses. Then. too. the singers felt
more at home with their parts, and left
very little to be desired in the perform
ance.
The cast was the same as thai given
during November. Miss Minnie Sand
meyer was the ~Serpolette and was as VI
vacious and coquettlsh as before. She
scored a signal success with the waltz
song, which she sang when she appeared
as the radiant and stately Marchloness.
Mr.. Fred Parker sang as delightfully."- as
ever, and showed much improvemenI in
his acting. The Gaspard of Frank Mol
ten was the same flashed performance,
and together with Miss Sandmeyer's ex-
cellent work was most favoraoly COM
mented upon by a group OF professionals
! and member OF the Prince aud Pauper ,
Company, who watched the performance
from the rear Of the theatre.
MI. Charles Herbert Clarke as Henri,
| Marquis of Bonneville, Mr.. john ID. Shaw
as the bailli, Mr.. George w. Fallon as the
notary, Mr.. Alexander A. Ahrens as the
registrar, Mr.. K. A. Oiin as the assessor,
