Milo. verona Jarbsau, who Will ap-
pear on Friday night, has just closed
most successful New York engagement,
where she played Starlight" nightly to
as many of her friends as the theater could
hold. Absence seemed to have made the
hearts of her admirers grow fonder and
the favorite singer was greeted with sincere
applause and flowers in profusion. Mile
Jarbeau has spent the summer in Paris,
and brought back a number of new gowns,
all of the latest and prettiest fashions. A
creation of Worth's, worn in the second
act, is perhaps the most notable. 1t is
shrimp pink heavy faille with point lace
drapery hanging from the shoulders, and
costing the modest sum of $4,000 francs. A
white brocaded silk opera CLOAK lined with
the fashionable ermine fur completes this
costume.
Many of Mile. Jarbsau'. famous dia-
monds (some of which have been owned by
royalty are worn with her toilet and the
dazzling effect can better be imagined than
described.
From any point of view Mile. Jarbeau
is handsome to look at, but when her
shapely limbs are clad in the long silken
stockings worn in the third act, repre-
senting knight of the sixteenth century,
she is radiantly lovely.
She plays boys parts to perfection, but
the principal charm of the lady is her I'M
consciousness of self, which is go rare in
an artistic.
There is a breezy sprightllness about
Jarbsau that makes her always attractive,
always welcome, and the droll manner in
which she utters the witty lines of Carlotta
makes her simply irresistible.
No woman on the stage to day can pre-
sent SO complete a picture of the Spanish
senorita, be so refreshingly natural, give
such abandonment of movement to her &C.
tons, or look such unutterable things from
under her broad-rimmsd, picturesque hat.
To hear her sing Spanish song is as ex-
hilarating as glass of champagne.
The Jarbeau company is composed of
fine comedians and number of pretty
girls, all Yale favorites. Each member Is
engaged for some particular song, dance,
or entertaining feature of the perform
ance. The duets, choruses and concerted
numbers are 80 interspsrsed that there ia
not a dull moment the entire evening. The
comedy is also well staged, and the orches-
ira 10 much better than one is accustomed
to in comedy companies.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The popular play, "Mr. Potter of Tex
as" had a large audience at the Grand
opera house last night. 1t will be repeat
ed again this afternoon and evening. 1t is
full of dramatic situations, pathos and
comedy and of enthralling interest; both
male and female characters are wonder
fully drswn and true to life. Mr.. Ran
dolph Murray appears we'll suited to the
character of Hon. Sampson Potter, and
Josephine Loane, as Lady Sarah Annerly,
proved herself to be a clever and intelli-
gent actress.

of the company is in keeping with that of
the play, and William Barry of the old
pears to better advantage than be ever did
before. His friend, Dionvsius O'Hars, a
pedsgogue, who has also proposed, was
cleverly portrayed by James q. Manning,
whose great strength, like that Of Mr..
Barry's. lays in the fact that he does not
try to act, but Is natural at all times. Four
clever youngsters, Harry M. Welch, James
Carroll Cora O'Nef1 and Louise BaIlontine,
as representatives of the rising generation,
were interesting, as most clever youngsters
are. Of the ladies, Miss Lydia Barry made
good Elsie Connolly, her contralto solos
being especially good. Elinor Van Tyke,
In the person of Miss Lillian B. Linder-
man, enlisted the sympsthies of all and
clearly showed the clever actress. The
dancing by "The Darlings of Society"
was the neatsss turn which has been doua
in Lynn this season.
