lola Pomeroy, the charming little SOU
brette, appeared In the leading role of
"The Clipper" before large audience at
Lothrop's Grand Opera House last even.
ing. 1t was stormy night, but that
makes no difference to the people of,Paw-
tucket when lola is in town. She Is as
cute as ever and displays strong dramatic
ability during the progress Of the differ
ent acts. Her costumes are masterpieces
and she dances and sings with the same
vivacity and with the same result on the
audience, that of getting a hrmer foot
hold In their appreciation. The drama is
so interesting from beginning to end that
the audience followed every line close.
lola as "The Clipper" appears In the
first act arrayed in rags in a den of
thieves, from W hch she is rescued through
the instrumentality of Bixby Bishop D.
T.. McElroy), who is detective in the
guise OF burglar. 1t transpires she is
the heiress to 100000 and is sent to an
academy where she developes wonderful
gramatic knowledge. In the third act
she makes the sacrifice OF marrying the
man she hates to save her mother but is
saved in the fourth act by the ubiquitous
Bixby Bishop.
McElroy Is a favorlte here, and his
comical sayings, local hits ana the queer
way he said them kept the pdience in
| good humor. He is one OF tue best in
| Lothrop's circuit. The other members of
the company are Ralph Dorman, Morris
McHugh, Harry Wilson, L. Wilson Rem
ME, p. Eugene Sweet, f. Slater, Edward
James, Miss Edith Crolius, Miss May
Francis, Miss May Powell and Mrs. Elsie
Seymour.

AS IL doubtless we'll known the COM
poser Of "Ship Alloy" is the author of
"The Golden Wedding" That the former
was great success must be allowed, and
that the latter Is greater success is borne
out by its Boston record which run nearly
two months longer. Into "The Golden
Wedding" Mr.. Miller has introduced some
beautiful musical mum bers all of the SIM
pie taking order of his earlier effort.
| Among them are "Wh Cares for Misfor-
tuner" "pll be True" consolidation
Ground" "Some Fifteen Years Ago."
| There are also plenty OF comedy musical
introductions, and in addition to the act
ual music OF the production all the up-to-
date music OF other composers Is interpo-
lated. As for the comedy itself, all SER
Ious business has been discarded and
the humorous su ubstituted. "The Golden
Wedding" is de signed for laughing pur-
poses and the excellence OF the cast as.
sures its intent being carried out. 1t will
be at Music Hall tomorrow evening.
KeIth's Opera House.
There is fun and plenty OF it in the new
farcical comedy. "lhe Rainmakers" which
Donnellv and Girard are playing at this
place of amusement this week. Two en-
joyable comedians, whose dramatic posi-
tion is between the fine and the acrobatic,
and further from the one than the other !;
six or seven pretty women; some surpris-
ing things In the management of scenery !;
insane songs that hit off affairs of the pre-
sent, and that 60 well with the audi
ence that every verse must be chanted; a
soubrette whom you excuse because she Is
fair to look upon; two performers whose
travesties OF tragedy are really clever; an
eccentric whose actions are delightedly
applauded; several deplorable puns aud
that is novel and pretty. The Rainmakers
will be given every evening this week
| with the usual matinees.
