FABIo RoMANI.

Alden Benedict's "Fabio Romani,"
a dramatization OF the Vendetta, was
produced last night at the Grand Opera
House. The play is essentially somber
In tone, but is relieved by comedy. TIL
situations are thrilling and the motiv
strong and dramatic. The false wife
Nina, was we'll played by Miss Engel
Sumner. The scenic effects, particu-
larry an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, were
very pretentious. The Spanish skirt
dance by Miss Grace Hunter was re-
peatedly encorsd. The Living Pictures
were marvellous visions Of loVeliness.-

The usual order of scenic melodrama
has been cast aside by Lincoln j. Car

erything is coming out, and an audi
ence need really stay only until they
have seen the great feature. Mr. Car
ter not only gives his great tornado
scene at the close OF the first act, but
he follows itup in the second with
three more especial features"

SOMETHING WAS WANTED.
tits strange fact yet nevertheless
TO be regretted, that contentment is a
rare hing in this world. We may have
