Tuesday night. The date list of the
troupe omitted Sacramento, but Manager
Hall by special exertion has secured the
company for single night There are
sIXty-five people in the company this
season, twenty more than when the COM
pany was here before. OF these fourteen
compose the orchestra. The opera to be
produced is "Robin Hood" probably the
most attractive and successful comic
opera OF the age, if we are to believe one
half we hear of it. For instance, out of
sixteen nights in San Francisco ten were
devoted to ''Robin Hood'' by public de-
mand, though but five had been billed
for it. Not in the history of the Baldwin
Theater have such immense audiences
assembled in it for such success
sion of nights. 1t is related that
on the last night the audience
arose and cheered, and then someone
started "Auld Lang Syne," and the peo-
pie swelled the chorus. This sounds ex-
travagant, and smacks of unwarranted
enthusiasm over body of actors and
singers, but we are assured of the truth of
the story. In Los Angeles the opera
drew SO well that by public demand all
the others were withdrawn and it alone
was given during the entire engagement.
There are two casts for the opera, that
the singers may be relieved; Sacramento is

Davis, Marie Stone, Edwin Hotf, III. c..
Barnabee, Eugene Cowles, George Froth-
ingham, Peter Lang, Josephine Bartlett
and Grace Reals The opera is by the
press represented as clean, wholly free
from butfoonery and ''antics,'' to rise at
times to the dignity of grand opera, and
yet to be SO catching" and simple that
every air in it can by whistled by an
amateur after one hearing. We are
promised all the effects, scenery and
chorus with which the opera was pro-
duced at San Francisco. The authors of
robin Hood are Americans, Reg
inald de Koven composer, and
H. b. Smith librettist. De Koven
will be remembered as the author
of Don QuiXote," but robin Hood"
says the San Francisco Chronicle, is sim
ply wonderful advance upon it,. The
same paper says, in the course of length
ened review, all the airs are charming,
moving in effect and graceful in compo-
sition. From beginning TO end there is
a free, breezy spirit that excites an audi
ence most pleasurably, and there is mel
ody and rich simple harmony every
where" 1t adds: "The performance of
Robin Hood was as complete as any
opera representation we have had. The
principals were all fitted with such sue
cess that the glees, madrigals and solos
went with harmonic effect rarely
achieved nowadays, and every part was
admirably acted"

ADJUSTMENTS.

The comedy drama, 1.-THE Two Sisters"
drew a good house at the Metropolitan
Theater last night The audience was
entirely satisfied, and manifested its
qualification by much applause, hearty
indulgence in laughter, mingled with
which were some sympathetic tears
The story is an exceedingly simple one,
the characters just such las in everyday
life in great city are to be met with. 1t
is chaste play, full of good sentiment,
teaching sharp lessons and giving warn
ings to youth that are needed. 1t all
moves upon middle plane, with
none burlesqued by eXaggeration.
1t is indeed an idyl of city life,
and its pivot is the fortunes of
of two country girls who come to New
York to gain an honest livelihood. One
is led astray, one is armored with vir-
tuous resolution, too strong for tempta-
ton. A broad-shouldered, big-hearted
Westerner, who has come to the metrop-
oils TO see life, befriends the girls,
snatches one from the grasp of evil, and
at the last rescueS the wreck Of the other
life, just when despair contemplated
suicide. Ad RyInan personated the gen
erous Montanan with skill we would
never believed possible to him, remem-
bering him, as we do, as an old time
:
order because it is the closest possible APP
proach to the natural. Mr.. Ryer, one of
the authors of the comedy. had an eccen-
tric role and captaly filled it. Misses
Merricz and Billings, as the two
sisters, gave finished, strong and
the characters assumed with ex-
cellent background effects by Mrs.
Houker and Miss Lewis. An unsym-
pathetic role is that of j. A. Mahony, the
villain of the piece, but taken with su-
perior art. In the last act, indeed, his
effort rose to the level of the best melo-
dramatic planes A fine quartet of male
voices; whistler, j. p. Brown, of SUR
prising skill; a bone player, John Bark
er, who may well claim to be champion;
and typical street characters by MessrS.
Ryer, Fox, Buckingham, Roy, Lalor and
Murrow fill in the play with special
ties of musical and humorous order
to comprehend why this pathetic,
humorous, manly, graceful, life-lke
comedy-drama has won such success
wherever played. 1t is direct in it's APP
peals to the sensibilities; ii probes the
sympathies; it is picturesque; it wins
without surprises, but by easy and
though direct approaches; it keeps step
to the beat of every generous heart; it is
a touch of nature, and the hands
to which it is committed are almost fault
less III .heir skill. One scene, New York
from house-top, is a notably effective
bit of scenic success. The play win be
given tonight for the last time.
The very competent and well-balanced
dramatic company at the Clunie Opera
House, under the Johnstone- McBurnie
management, concludes it's engagement
tomorrow night. 1t has had much op-
position attraction to contend with, and
in almost any other week would have
fared better financially. But it has given
clean, evenly good performances, and
with faithfulness and entire satisfaction
TO its audiences. a matinee performance
will be given at o'clock to-day, when
The Planters Wife, will be played.

Owing to its proximity to the State
Prison, 1t is wonder that Folsom doesn't
furnish more criminal news for the press
than it does. But on Thursday night
there was a burglary there, the store of

coin, cutlery, etc.
The thieves were heard at their work
by clerk, whose room adjoined the
