ing With Fayorite Colors.

"Lend Me Your Wife" was presented at
the New California before crowded first
night attendance. 1t is one of Dion Bouci-
caults latest adaptations from the French,
and. as a farcical comedy, which it claims to
be, is not in the vein of his best work. We
find il stamped all over with evidences of
his failing power as a playwright. 1t
is tedious in many of its phases,
and not remarkable for construction
in those calculated on to make
hits. The audience were disposed to grant
the piece good many laughs in the earlier
scenes, but the merriment gradually sub
sided as the business proceeded. In the
role of Captain AbHer Tarbox, a wrong
headed but mild-mannered man." Nh. kO-
land Reed exerted himself to make the
character impressive, but we have seen him
to better advantage in other presentations.
The part does not play easily for him and
effort is perceptible everywhere. Mr.. VIM.
c. Andrews as Tom Bunting, young man
OF property, is reasonably fair comedian.
1t is his wife, Bessie Miss Isadore Rush,.

tanning this deceit. Miss Rush was cos
TUNED with exquisite neatuess, and is
handsome and captivating woman. who acts
too much. Dick Easily, ;he nephew,
is not easy in his manner, but
rather lumpish and awkward. Hitty Tar
box Miss Alice Frerel, the Captains
daughter, is a novice. MI. Max Fehrman.
as Franz, the German waiter, was the best
made-up and best acted character in the
whole cast, judged by the standard of true
acting. One scene where the Captain is
caught with the nurse, Lottie Miss Mary
Myers, in his arms, is logged in from the
Pickwick Papers. 1t is repetition of that
interesting episode when the President of
the Immortal Club is found by its members
after Mrs. Bardweli has thrown herself on
his breast in pretended faint. The entire
action of the play, which is in three acts,
takes place in the drawing-room of Bunt-

physician who ever crossed the
Pacific.
He has made some of the
most astonishing cures ever
wrought in this country though
he has had only seemingly in
durable cases. People are now
becoming aware of this fact,
and demanding how he has
such unprecedented success.
The doctor will give a few TX
planatory facts, though he
wishes to state here that he re-
grets the necessity of differing
from the rules of the medical
fraternity by advertising. If
he we're an American or Euro
pean doctor his name would

from a country that has always
kept itself secluded from the

open its ports by the United

justified in making his skill
known through the medium of
