 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The Midnight Alarm," a strong sensa- tional 6ve-act melo- drama, was greeted last night by an audience which caused the sign, "standing room only," to be dis played at quarter before eight. There is a strong vein of humor running ali through the piece which is contributed to in bounti- full measure by Carrie Francis as Priscilla Tompkins, apinster, George F. Hall as Chippington Chaser, bunco steerer, and Percy Plunket as Aurelius Heliotrope, a gentleman of color. The strength of the play is contributed to greatly by Frederick Julian, as the william and Robert Neill as Harry Westmore, the hero. The play will be presented this and tomorrow evenings and tomorrow afternoon.

 PRocToRs OPERA HOUSE.
 Miss Annie Ward Tifany's appearance in the role of an Irish comedian last eve- ming seemed to be thoroughly appreciated by the small, but demonstrative audience that greeted her. Miss Tiffany, with the single exception of Miss Sadie Scanlan, is the only lady comedian who has thus far attempted an Irish dialect, and she has met with the most wonderful success. Last season she played in piece entitled ''The Shadows of Great City" and had a four weeks run in New York. This season she appears in piece written ex- pressly for her by MT. L. R. Shewell, ''The Stepdaughter," and she truly does her role ample justice. Miss Annie Bar clay as Mrs. Ergerton, the tigress, played excellently. Marion Bender as Blanche Somers, the 'tStepdaughter's' cousin, was exceedingly we'll received in her song in the third act, being encored | Miss Rose Tiffany as Ruby Agerton, the Stepdaughter, is worthy of mention. The heroism of Peggy Logan in overcoming the treacherous French maid, at the end of | the third act, was appreciated by the au- dlence and she was called before the cur tain. In the great number of gentlemen actors who have attempted the Irish role one is surprised to find so few ladies, and | in this consists the principal merit of this play-Miss Tiffany being the best repre- sentative actress of this class. Doubtless this evening she will be greeted by larger | audience which was unfortunately prevent ed last evening by the inc1ement weather /, This evening will be it's last performance here.
 At this house the last two nights of this week and Saturday matinee "Men and Women" will be given for the first time in this city by Mir. Charles Frohman's com pany. The play Is purely American, by American authors, and is said to possess a degree of intensity rarely found apart from the French stage. The company to pie and come highly endorsed by the critics of many cities where they have ap- peared. AS to the play, it's run of over 250 nights is sufficient recommendation. Miss Margery Daw, the writer (Grace Esther Drew), who has won success both in journalism and on the stage, has been engaged to play the leading part in | Augustus Daly's "Last Word,'' of which FfolIiot Paget is the star. Frank Dietz is to manage the company. Miss Drew has talent and beauty and bright future in two professions. The play will be seen at this theater Wednesday, November 4. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
