The Theater,

RID. MacLean and Marie Prescott are an
nounced for a matinee and night perform
ance at the opera house to-day, when they
will produce Romeo and Juliet and Spar
tacus at night. They will no doubt be &C
corded a hearty welcome by the theater-go-
ers of Fort Worth. The Terre Haute News
says: MacLean's Interpretation of the bar
barrie chieftaih was superb. He played the
part with marvellous fidelity to the style of
Forrest and Forests pulpit. John McCul-
Tough. showing himself, indeed, to be the
rival of these stalwart figures in the dra-
matte history.
He was wild and fierce and passionate,
It's true, but uniformly noble and heroic,
withal. His acting in the arena scene was
par excellence.
CHANGE OF PROGRAMME.
This week will close with 4 very supe-
rior attraction at the Greenwall opera
house, Nh. Lewis Morrison in his grand
spectacular of Faust. The bill, however,
for this attraction has been slightly
changed from that contemplated in the orig
inal announcement, in this, that in
stead of presenting Faust on both
Friday and Saturday nights, the Strang-
lers of Paris will be given on Satur-
ing with Faust On Friday.
The Courier-Journal says: Lewis Morri-
son opened at the Masonic Temple last
evening with his interesting presentation of
Faust He was greeted with 4 large and
enthusiastic audience that was so well
pleased as to give him a curtain call after
three of the five acts. Lewis Morrison
Mephisto is as charming as ever; indeed
he seems to Improve with age. The scenic
effects were new and beautiful, more
particularly the garden scene where Faust
succeeds in winning the love and confidence
of poor, weak Marguerite. The illumina-
tion by electricity of the flowers was a
realistic piece of work, and the same may
be said OF the Broken scene In fact all
the scenic effects were unusually fine
Every piece of scenery used in the produc-
ton is new, and was used for the first time
last evening. 1t arrived here on last Satur-
day from Columbus. Ohio, and was put in
place for this engagement. The prison
scene was well put on, and the final tableau
was Of unusual beauty.
Lewis Morrison is so very attractive and
strong in his rendition Of the witty Me-
phisto that he absorbs the attention of his
audience from the curtain rise to the fall
The electric light effects are new and well
handled. The engagement continues till
Wednesday night, with a matinee on that
day. Mr.. Morrison is a strong attraction,
and the business for the remaining perform
anceS will no doubt be large, as he deserves.
