audience that has been seen in Mime
npolis in many a day greeted Agnes
Huntington, the charming contralto,
when she made her debut as star
last evening. The costumes. OF
the ladies who clapped tnelr
daintily glovedS hands together
when something especially pleased
them, were exceptionally brilliant, and
diamonds flashed from every quarter.
The boxes were all occupied by our
representative society people, and few
singers that ever appeared here were
given more tiattering reception. Miss
Huntington possesses many personal
charms and artistic ability, and 1t Is 10
this to great extent that she I'M
doubtedly owes her wonderful sue
cess, and she comes before US
in her present work like revelation I'D
Operetta. An artist less gifted than she
would perhaps have made failure III
similar work to the one OF PlanQuette'S,
and with a libretto like the one credited
to Farnie. But as it is, she is the sensa-
ton of the day, and her hit in paul
Jones" last evening was most EN-.
phatic one. Seats for the balance OF
the engagement are SAID to be at ia pre-
MUM. The last performance OF paul
Jones" will be given Wednesday even
ing.
Cora Tanner appeared last evening in
n potpourr of French situations, billed
as the Refugees Daughter" at the
Lyceum. The play IN itself is an eX-
travagant picture of French life among
the ZOO of Paris, with a small cOntln-
gent from London and America. MISS
Tanner plays a part handicapped, from
a social point of view, by the exposition
of false rumors concerning her father,
diplomat. As Helen BuderOtf, she por-
trays quite naturally and, at times, dra-
matcally a woman involved IN net
WORK of plot that only the dramatic critic
of the Figaro could fathom: 1t has
been said that Cora Tanners profess
sional reputation is dependent upon her
''Shape." Last evening she Demon
strated the fact that she is an actress OF
ability, and possesses the faculty OF re-
deeming a company of very ordinary
caliber from the pain of an almost total
failure. In the third act. the duel
scene. adopted from short story by
Daudet, written during the past year,
she was especially strong, and the rec
Onciiation between her and DR.. Cler-
mont (Harold RusselD in the last act
was neatly and sweetly played. The
play is cleverly Written.and Will DO, IL is
thought, a good business during the
week. The dialogue at times is bright,
and the scenes between Teddy Smith
7 heo. NJ. Brown and Sylraine de
Serene (Goldie Andrews was enJoyaoie.
The sale of seats for the Jefferson
Florence engagement commenced at
the Grand yesterday morning, and
crowd of eager buyers filled Manager
Conklin's office all day. Tuesday and
Friday evenings. and at the Saturday
matinee, The Rivals" will be given.
and on Saturday evening 1.-The Heir at
Law"
The celebrated French cellOist that
Prof. DAM has secured direct from
Paris will make his first appearance In
this country in connection with tne
DAM orchestra at the next midweek
concert, TO be given at the Grand
opera house next Friday AFTER
noon. In addition to this, and besides
the regnlar ten numbers to be ren-
dered by this excellent musical organ
fZation, Miss Jennie Van Etten. the
promising young vocalist of st. Paul,
will appear. Seats are now on sale at
the box office.
Louise Dempsey and her burlesque
company opened a weeks engagement
at the Pence last night, and succeeded
in turning people away. That the peo-
pie who were turned away were
very unfortunate will be attested
by those who remained. The
two b1rlesques, The Yelled Prophet
and 1.-The Devil in Paris" are very
amusing, and are handsomely staged;
Most of the specialties are good, and
Zamora the Mexican aerial artist, is a
wonder that is sure to attract universal
attention. The dancing Of quintette
Of skirt dancers was another taking
feature.
