" PAUL KAUVAR.


Grand opera house yesterday, once at
matinee and again at night. Paul

of the beautiful and stirring line of Steele

great fidelity by the several ladies and
gentlemen who assumed the roles.

results strong and fOTceful, and there are
many clim8XeS, in which Mr.. Snader, as
Paul and Miss Knott, as Diane" the
leading parts, excel, and show consider
able fine work and histrionic ability. Mr..
Spencer, as the acCuSer "GOurOc,' plays
his difficult role with great power, also,
and won many encOmiumS from practiced
observers. The company supporting these
actors is carefully selected and all ac-
Quilted themselves in a manner that, as
before mentioned, delighted their audi
enceS. Tonight is their final appearance.
Tomorrow night the charming emotional
actress, "Effie EllSler,' who has not been
in San Antonio for four years past, will
begin her engagement in Hazel kirke."
