Vesta Tilley Scores a Success al
Tony Pastors.
Grand Opera Again Heard at the
Metropolitan.

Vesta Tilley made distinct hit at
Tony Pastors Theatre last night. There
Is no doubt at all about that. We had
heard great deal OF Miss Tilley, and
her name had been before us constantly
Tor the past month, yet she went beyond
our expectations and triumphed She Is
a very small, slender woman, with dark
hair and n mobile face She has not
the slightest pretense to prettness, but
she mas most magnetic presence. The
stateliest uno might be lacking in the
| charm OF manner that Miss Tilley possess
Sc. She sang six songs OF very different
descriptions-"masher" songs, descrip-
tive sketches, sentimental bits, and she
| sang them al admirably. "The Major"
went particularly well, and song re-
lating how two little maidens went for a
pressure trip on the sea, and became
desperntely ill., convulsed the audience.
Miss Tilley is certainly an actress. The
uramatic action she gave her songs was
very clever. The programme at Pastors
WAS WAS a, good one. In addition to Miss
I,TrilleyF there were Senorita Nannetta,
Harrington, Ed lunch runch. thae"fe the Juians, ans
Charles Haydn. John and James Russell,
Err rIank Bush and the Morellos. The Rus:
with cyclones of laughter. Their fun
never seems to grow stale, and they
certainly work untiringly.
