Entertatnn ents. PROCTOR'S OPERA HOUSE,

"The Harvest Moon," in which Madame Janauschek appeared last evening, is an English rural play of the strongest dra- matic clements. A good-sized audience was deeply interested in it from beginning to end. The play is remarkably close-knit, simple and direct in plot and action. The involutions that oomplicate and confuse are not able to divert the straight line of the story, and this story goes on develop ing from situation to situation, culminat- ing in remarkably dramatic and psycho- logic climax in the third act and solving easily and naturally in the last. It is as well and concisely told and as binding in interest as anything on the stage could be. In fact, it is so absorbing in it's dramatic qualities that the pretty little fun strewn in here and there in the interviews of "Clara" and "Snipe' fails to lift the inn pression of solemnity and sadness. One cannot get rid of the predominant illu- sion. Of Madame Janauschek nothing is to be said except that she appears more vigorous and younger than five or six seasons past and that her dramatic meth ods are as superb and queenly as in her palmiest days, when Europe and America named her the queen of tragedy. She was frequently applauded last evening. The company is good, notably, Mr. A. H. Stuart as the clergyman. MT. Everard and MT. Clifton also succeeded finely in their parts. This evening the play will be repeated. .-'~-
 Fanny Rice in "A Jolly Surprise" will be the attraction Friday and Saturday!

 Manager Robinson of the "Paul Kauvar" company, is in possession of many letters from prominent journalists and statesmen who have seen 'Paul Kauvar" and express ed their pleasure in writing. But one from the late Roscoe Conkling, written shortly before he died, and another signed Robert G. Ingersoll are very decided in their praise of the play and the players. MT. Ingersoll pronounces it "the grandest dramatic work of our time." The play will be presented at this theater tomorrow evening. Seats are now on sale.

 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 Pat Rooney, the Rooney Comedy com pany and 'Lord Rooney" were received last evening by packed audience that went wild oyer the "Great Irishman" and his Hibernian oddities. \As .'Lord Room y,"in play written all around that char acter, the inimitable Pat maintained his strong hold on popular fancy, and his Tpperary brogue, red whiskers, promis- cuous get-up, and characteristic Irish song and dances appealed to the audience in way that kept the house ringing with laughter from the start. Rooney is well seconded by his clever and sprightly daughter, Mattie Rooney, Josie Rooney, and first-class supporting company. The same play will be given this and to-mor- row evenings and tomorrow afternoon. Sadie Scanlan, sister of w. J. Scanlan, will be at the Grand next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
