French Burlesque company at Hilton's play
house yesterday matinee and evening. The
people assembled for laugh and a pleasur-
able time. They got it. The first part, Stan
leys Reception" started the ball of fun roll
ing, and everything was heartily enjoyed
and applauded from start to finish. The Olio
is the strongest OF the season. Mile. Marx.
ellie earned several rounds of applause by
her clever singing. The two Nibbes fully
sustain their reputation of being the great
est character and trick comedians on the
stage. The burlesque, His Nibs and His
Nobs,' introducing the entire cast. a capable
group of Joy producers, was extremely funny
and heartily appreciated. The same bill con-
tinues all week, with family matinees Tues
day and Thursday.
There have been few brighter or more en-
pertaining shows at the Grand this season
than Two Old Cronies." Since it's last pre-
sentation in this city 1.-TWO Old Cronies' has
undergone considerable furnishing, and it is
now as bright as a new silver dollar. Like
the general run of farce comedies there is no
pretenson to plot, but. when the people are
amused they never trouble to remark about
its absence. I'D there is no doubt about the
Two Old Cronies' providing an evening
full of amusement. The three acts are
crowded with catchy songs, pretty dances
and sparkling music. A. H.Wilson and E. j.
Heffernan are clever team, and their work
is OF the most praiseworthy character. Miss
Ada Deaves is deserving of commendation,
and the company generally is above the av-
erage. The Grand was crowded to the doors.
