GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Patti Rosa's new play, "Miss
Dixie" has caught popular favor
and is serving to keep the popular
little comedienne intrenched in the
good graces of the theatre going
public. A critic who sat in judg-
ment on the first performance of
this comedy, said:
each member of the audience
felt as if he or she were juror to
sit in judgment on the piece, as it
was its initial performance. The
play had been carefully rehearsed
and went along smoothly but tame
ly for the first half hour. After
that the actors seemed to warm up,
and before the second act was half
through, the continuous applause
and. laughter showed that Miss
Dixie" had caught on and was a
success.
Miss Rosa is supported this sea-
son by John d. Gilbert, late Of the
'Bluebeard Jr. Co." "NIiss Dixie"
will be the bill for Sunday night,
and dolly Warden" will be pre-
3ented Monday night.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
THE Masked Ball." the Queen of
Comedies, Delightfully."- Pre-
sented-It is Full of

NOAeo1eS, DeIlSuCIuIly fre-
sented-It is Full of
Genuine Tickle.
"The Masked Ball" was present
ed to the theatre goers of San
Antonio at the Grand Opera house
last night. No more delightful
comedy is upon the boards of any
stage, and no better all round com
pany has ever presented the laugh
able side Of things in this city. The
play is comedy, a farce comedy,
and yet not so much a farce as
comedy of ridiculous errors
that are charged with the
embodied spirit of fun. 1t is as
clean as the face of infancy, not a
coarse line in it; it is full of funny
business, all Legitimate and native
to the situation as the business
end of wasp is of sensation. 1t is
comedy in its best, not it's mediocre
conditions. Ali that is humorous
in the human breast is appealed to,
and so appealed to as to draw the
smiles from the SternCSt face and
the driest heart.
Charles COOte as DR.. BlOndet is
the equal of Drew, whose persona
ton of the part has given him a
national reputation. His wife, Miss
Young, is revelation of the
depths of comic appeal in stu
alton that would discomfort any
ordinary woman and lead to al
scene. Her work in the second act,
as the tipsy wife, albeit only as
sumed for the purpose of punish
ing the duplicity of a husband
whom she dearly loves, is SIM
ply perfect, showing a nativeness
of adaptability that is as rare as it
is captivating. There is not a face
on earth that can resist smile at
her persOnatiOn of lady quite
perceptibly elevated.
BlOndet's partner and wife are a
good couple to draw to as a con-
trast to the DR.. and his charming
little wife. She is the spirit incar-
nate of jealousy and wOmanly
spite, and she can make it hot for
her goodnatured old man. For a
henpecked husband she can do the
pecking as artistically as it was
ever done in the seclusion of the
domestic circle. The husband him
self is no SLOUGH, and his work
adds immensely to the success of
the general effect.
1t is not necessary to par
ticularize farther. There is not any
let down in the play. It's subordi-
nate characters are just what they
assume to be, and the general re-
suit is the most enjoyable comedy
that has ever been staged in this
city. To those who think it sin
to smile there is no place for them
in the Opera House that presents
"a Masked Ball" To those who
love clean, legitimate, refined
comedy, artistically presented
from the ground up, this play was
expressly built
