"The Two Sisters -

Has moved evenly through the week at the
Bush-street to what may be called. for the
lenten season, an average business. The
play has not many salient points, but the
moral it conveys is a wholesome one, which
may be said of many other plays on the
stage, but 50 far as any active benefit result
ing from the wholesome tone of the text of
these moral plays and the exemplary pun
ishment of the villain. who, in this case, is
a sort of New York Don Juan, that has yet
to be discovered We have the play, aud
commend 1t as a pure and good one, and
there the business ends. As Hamlet said in his
last words, THE rest is silence The stage
is not the best place for 0bject-teaching If
individuals have not had yirtuous principles
implanted in them by previous training,
they are not apt to have their growth pro-
noted by seeing the simon-pure article SIM
ulated before the footlights. For the acting.
il is quite as good as the business calls for.
Mr.. Add Ryman makes strong character
of the man from Montana, Hiram Pepper,
who has taken contract to protect women
who have stopped to folly" and the two
sisters are we'll personated by Miss Merrick
and Miss Lillian Billings. The latter plays
Mary easily and naturally. as she ought to
do. seeing she has TO portray modest and
vlrtuOus woman. There are a great va
riety OF characters in the cast, and by them
we are treated 10 many dive rse shades Of
human nature.

MI. Hort,s nTexas steer"

Has run out its first week at the New Cali
fornia to the satisfaction of himself and of
everybody who has seen his work. As re-
CARDS Mr.. Hoyt, and we may presume also
as proof Of his popularity, the audiences
here have become possessed of new fad.
They are determined to call out the author
of the play every night to make "a remark
or two" before the footliglts. ana he feels
himself obliged to stand by" to answer the
clamOrous demand promptly. Usually the
author, if his play was appreciated, is called
before the curtain ON the first night to make
a little speech, bows himself with thanks
and then is heard no more. But
this new custom Of calling the
playwright out every evening begins to look
as if there was a spice of mischief afoot
and disposition to make the practice obi
Gus by pushing it beyond bounds. We
would advise Mr.. Hoyt to have some BUSH
ness elsewhere just before the calling trOu-
BILE begins. L he piece is running very
smoothly, and there is no doubt it will play
to a three weeks business that will break
the box-ofiice record. 1t is fresh, original
and piquant, with certain frontier free
dom interfused that seems to please our
community, especially the younger portion
of IT.
