AMUSEMENT
Paul Kauvar at Ross's Hoboksn The

Paul kauvar at Ross's Hoboken Theatre.
Steele Mackay's powerful and instructive
drama, Paul Kauvar." began an engagement
last evening at Ross Hoboken Theatre, that
promises to be one of the most successful at
this popular house this season. The standing
room only sign was hung out last night long
before the curtain rose.
The story of the drama is one well known to
theatre goers. 1t is one yon can sit and listen to
many times, and when presented by a company
as strong as that which essayed the several roles
last night, 1t cannot but be the strong drawing
card it is.
Harrison Wolfe, an actor of fine physique,
magnificent stage presence, and cultured elocu
ton, won hearty applause for his portrayal of
the fearless Paul Kauvar. His acting through.
out was even and finished. But the hoDors of
the evening were won by Miss Mildred Holland,
whose portrayal OF the difficult role of Diane de
Beaumont was the work OF an artist, and ranks
with the work of those ladies who have on other
occasions essayed the same character. Through
out she acted with fnesse, and the hearty encore
she received at the end of the third act, testified
the appreciation of the audience. The other
member of the cast did very well.
The department of the mob in the last act
was the best ever seen at this theatre. Gener-
ally a mob of this kind is apt to overdue matters
and make a burlesque Of what is really a trying
moment in the play. This mob did not overdue
its work. The scenic effects are in keeping with
the excellence of the acting, the guillotine
tableau in the first act being specially mention :
able.
Paul Kauvar'' will be presented tonight and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
At the A cademy of Music.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. j. K: Emmet closes
his engagement of ''Fritz in Ireland at the
Academy OF Music. He gives q matinee to-
morrow which will probably attract many of the
younger element of humanity.
Next week the CAROLS will present their ex-
cellent comsdy drama, .'The Dago,' at the
Academy of Music. The story is one of deep
interest and abounds in thrilling sensations and
dramatic situations, The plot is based upon the
abduction OF a little child from her home by a
bold and scheming Italian known as the Dago.
After years OF privation and illtreatment, she
is finally rescued by a humorous but
heroic Irish policeman and restored TO the arms
of her father. Every act is replete with pathetic
incidents and bright comedy situations. Spark
ling musical gems, clever dancing and pleasing
limitations add much to the amusing feature Of
the performance. Special attention has been
paid to the scenic effects Of this production, and
they are very elaborate and excel in mechanical
novelties. The title role. Irish policeman, and
Edwin b. and Richard +. Carroll. The sup
porting company is strong and well balanced.
at the Opera House.
Carroll johnson continues to please the New
Opera House patrons in his bright play, The
Irish Statesman Next week, Mr.. and Mrs,

pany. Although this masterpiece of humor and
pathos is not by any means new, still there are

excellent play. This will be an opportunity for
them to do SO, as it is promised by the man
agement that it will be produced with
a vast amount of scenic effects, in

the grown folk and the children to see and
admire. Everybody laughs at Topsy and cries
at the sad death of little Eva. The children will
love to see the play.
