ture of interest besides the band. The
platform was very beautifully decorated
with potted plants, white lilies peeping
out from green bowers and palms droop
ing gracefully. The organ front bore a
doral emblem, "Welcome," and there
were streamers and other decorations all
over the hall. Collamore q Hazard spent
much time ON the floral decorations.
Mr. Reeves and the band peeped over
the flowers and the people applauded both
flowers and men. Presently music, soft
and low. then strong and magnificent,
came from behind the flowers and filled
the room and the people cheered again.
The band probably never played better.

Gaiety Opera House.

"The Bankers Daughter" at the Gaiety
Opera House this week has been. rightly
pronounced the greatest play by that
celebrated playwright. Bronson Howard
Possessing as 1t does many startling sit
nations and effective climaxes, it is no
wonder the drama retains the interest OF
all through the different seasons. Louis
James, as John Strebelow, showed him
self effective and thoroughly at home in
the character, his Interpretation of which
only served to add another success
to his already long list. He was sup
ported by Miss Eleanor Moretti. who,
as Lillian, the heroine of the play, gave a
careful and studied rendering of the char,

were all treated by her in manner arts.
tic and finished. The character work OF
Mr.. Logan Paul, as Count de Carojas,
was first-class. Miss Helen Cowell, as
Mrs. Brown, maid, wife and widow, in
vested the part with a sprightliness and
vivacity entirely her own, and Mr.. Arcni-
bald Cowper, as Harold Rutlege, was
also effective. The remainder of the
characters were taken by capable artists,
all of whom did good work in unravel-
ling the plot.

.Tried and True" at Lothrop's.

The patrons of Lothrop's Providence
Museum are served with a drama this
week that just meets their approval IL the
hearty applause with which the two
large audiences of yesterday afternoon
and last evening received the salient
points of Tried and True" is any
criterion. The story is the old one OF dis.
appointed love, intrigue, villainy hate and
crime. wherein villainy is apparently in
the ascendency at the beginning but
virtue finally triumphs and happiness Is
meted out to the hero and heroine and
their friends. ii. Percy Meldon was at
his best as Jack Russell and was the re-
cipient of frequent applause, which was
generously shared with Miss Tucker in
the difficult role of Margaret Dawson. AS
Josiah Dawson, j. Francis kirke dis
played his customary ease and familiarity
with his lines and made himself
thoroughly disliked in the villainous part.
Miss S. Francis Newhall. Miss Josie DE
Voy, Miss Nellie Bingham, Frank ID.
Melville, Cameron Clemens, Albert II.
Field and other members of the company
were worthy of more than passing notice.
A farce preceded the drama and was pre-
sented with vim and energy that was
pleasing. The same bill will be given
every afternoon and evening during the
week.

" Rip Van Winklc" at the Providence
Opera House Thursday.

III there are any two men connected with
the Providence Opera House with whom
the theatre -zoers are familiar they are
Harry Calender and Charles Collin, one
the treasurer, the other his assistant.
These two gentlemen are TO be rendered

night. The attraction secured is Robert
McWade, supported by an excellent COM
pany, in rip Van Wrinkle"
MIR. Mcwade is an actor Of well-known
ability. While Joe Jefferson is, perhaps,
better known in connection with this
play, yet Mr.. McWade's rendering Of the
leading role is such rs to make him dan
gerous rival of Mr.. Jefferson.
Tho play itself, while old. Is yet ever
new and is a continued favorite of the ad-
mirers of nigh class comedy. The COM
pany Is of fine order.
With ar excellent play, a first-class
company, and a leading comedian taking
the title role, Providence theatre-goers
are favored with "A rare treat, such an
entertainment being rarely afforded so
late in the season.
AS the engagement is but for one night
