show: The Temple theater was packed to
its utmost capacity last night and the
standing-room only sign was hung out
long. before the curtain went up 1t was a
fashionable audience, too, which is a proof
that refined minstrelsy still retains its hold
on the better class of theater goers as well
as upon the gallery gods. In his present
venture, Mr.. Cleveland has returned to
old fashioned minstrelsy, and the audience
manifested its approval Of the revival by
giving each feature of the programme an
enthusiastic reception. All of the jokes
are new and good and the songs are light
and pretty. Every feature Of the perfom-
anceis said to be new and original, and the
fun-makers are young, talented and enthu-
