That laughing comedy exit, Hoyt's ga
Trip to Chinatown" made its third visit to
this city last evening, and the big theater
was crowded to it's utmost capacity, de-
spite the rain. 1t can be said without
fattery that better company never has
produced the play here. Many of the
principals we're the same as have been here
with the company before. Miss Anna
Boyd as the young and charming, but
rather firtatious Chicago widow. seems to
be particularly adapted to the role, and by
her bright and attractive personality
charmed the large audience. Frank Lane,
as Welland Strong, ga man with one
foot in the grave" impersonates one
of the funniest creations that Mr..
Hoyt has ever put on the stage. The hu-
NOR lies in the fact that strong, big,
healthy appearing man is decided crank
over the subject of his personal health.
He has just 200 days to live and every act
of dissipation shortens his life certain
definite space of time. He carries a Their
mometer with him to keep accurate track
of his temperature. In the whirl of gay
Frisco life his life rapidly fades away and
the thermometer Is called into frequent
use. Frank Lawton's wbistlipg and bone
solos were excellent and we'll received
Lottie Mortimer as Flirt, Mrs. Gugon's
French maid danced to the perfect salts
faction Of the entire audience. The other
mem bers of the company were up to the
standard of excellence. The play will be
produced again this evening. The advance
sale Of seats has been very large.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Stetson's "Uncle Toms Cabin" company
will be seen this afternoon and evening.
An exchange says: "This company Is I'M
doubtedly the largest and best U mole Toms
company travelling, comprising of thirty
first class artists. So complete Is their
scenery that the piece could be put on In q
barn with better scenic effects than is pro-
duced by any other company. They have
grand double band of white and colored
musicians, an orchestra of ten pieces and
one that is hard to beat. The African
mandolin students with this company are
the fret and only colored people appearing
in public and performing on the Spanish
mandolin. The Lone Star Qaartette is
claimed to be without an equal, and the
Topsiss, there they have something that
charms ALL The Topsies are two young
ladies and their superiors in character and
terpsiohorean artists have not yet been pro-
duced on the American stage, aud two Marks
the best that good big salary can secure.
The street parade Is the finest ever wit
messed, and of the performance we can say
that they give the best production of this
sterling old drama ever given in this CITY,"
