"777" MAKES A HIT.

"777,". sensational play by j. D.
Clifton, was presented at the Grand last
night to a good house by a company
headed by A. w. Fremont, a melodra-
matte actor with voice which is full OF
church chimes. Although the play has
an abominable name, il contains num-
Der Of strong situations, naturally or a
strained character, but OF sufficient in
terest to maintain attention throughout
the performance. Mr.. Fremont is an
ultraheroic actor and his methods are
pleasing to a number of theate-goers
The supporting company was capable
and the audience was more than salts
fed They appear again this evening,
give matinee Saturday and close their
engagement Saturday night.
LEWIS MoRRIsoN-"MEPHsTo."
The popular American actor, Mr..
Lewis Morrison, will be seen in his
elaborate scenic and dramatic produc-
ton of Faust" at the Opera House
next Wednesday night. The version Of
Goethe's Faust" in which Mr.. Morri-
son will appear is an effective play. The
language is generally spirited and the
piece ranks favorably with the credit
able attempts that have been made to
give Goethe's poem an English stage
setting. Marguerite is shown here,
freed from the refinement and senti-
mentality with which she is usually,
and Inconsistency, endowed III the YER
sions familiar to our stage, and in both
instances it is an Improvement.

KEENAN,, the famous Siberian explorer
and lecturer, IS increasing and he will

says of him:
''Rippling waves Of laughter rolled
over the big audience in Calvary Bap-
list Church in West Fifty-Seventh
street last night. These were caused
by Mr.. George KEENAN, during his lee
ture on Camp Life in Eastern Siberia, "
and they kept for couple of hours the
upturned sea Of faces smiling, warm
aud glad. Reserved seats will be put
Oh sale at Houses music store to-mor-
row morrow morning.
THE GREY MARE"
Daniel friedman sends to us tonight
the latest of the Lyceum Theatre sue
cesses-"The Grey Mare" 1t is the
Joint work OF George r. Sims and Cecil
Raleigh. 1t is said TO be one OF the fun
NEST and most interesting comedies
presented in this country for a long
time. 1t may be briefly described as
the evolution of a lie. There are
twelve characters in the case, six OF
whom are either active or passive liars.
The departure from the strict line OF
truth taken place on the rise OF the
curtain and uhe effect Of the absence OF
veracity aud the penalties attached
thereto remain in the memory OF the
auditor long after the curtain has fallen
on the third act. Mr.. friedman will,
with his usual excellent taste, mount
the play in lavish manner.
