The Soudan opened it's weeks engage ment last night to Q moderate sized audi ence. It is play of great spectacular dis play, and the magnitude of the production can be realized when it is remembered tha it requires the services of 300 persons to properly produce the play.

 May Russel's Burlesque company ap- peared to large and delighted audience last evening. The show is an excellent one from the opening burletta, entitled the National Reception, in which Pauline Bafcheller and others appear to the closing feature, entitled "Jacks Ante," clever travesty on the popular farce comedy Aunt Jack" The costumes are all new and simply gorgeous, the girls all young and pretty, the scenery very fine, many of the songs and features introduced being new. Among them we notice Big 4" song and dance, arranged by Bob Slavin, enti- tied -Four Gents From Yale," picturing the life of Yale student, and very clev- erly executed by Messrs. Doyle, Fish, Fer guson and Richmond, and which had to answer to several encores. The march ex- ecuted by twelve ladies appropriately cos tuned, entitled 'tOur American Boys in Blue;" the Parisian Gavotte, light and gay, executed by the entire company, and many other features too numerous to mention. The specialties are all new and A No. 1, and contains such names as J. Marcus Doyle, the comedian and dancer; Fish and Richmond, acrobatic comedians; Pauline Batchsller, the queen of the bur lesque; the Fergusons, Terry and Maggie, dancers; Crawford and Bowers, song and dance artists; Edward Estus, the Australian equilibrist, making one of the best shows of the kind ever seen in this city.
 The company appear this and tomorrow evenings and tomorrow afternoon.
 PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 "O'Dowd's Neighbers" was presented to fair sized audience last evening and re- peated the good impression made at its last presentation in this city.
 w. w. Tillotson's comedy attraction, t'Zig-Z -Zag," with Flora Moore and a clever company, will be the attraction this even ing. An exchange says: Flora Moore in her own creation of "FIirt" is seen in her happiest vein of comedy. This talented lady is always favorite, and her character changes, together with her inimitable style of singing and dancing, make her the greatest favorite of the lyric stage. MT. Ali c. Wheelan as "Mr. Hooper," later Roaring Bill, fairly divides honors with the star and made pronounced hit in his clever rendition of the two totally opposite characters.
 The Duff Opera company will appear in "The Queens Mate" to morrow evening. "Tar and Tartar" comes Thursday and Oliver Doud Byron Friday and Saturday.
