R1ent at Keith's Opera House last evening
and was welcomed by large audience.
The abundant applause and frequent
bursts of merriment showed that farce
comedy retains its hold upon the public,
especially when presented by so good a
company as that which forms Cosgrove 4
Grants Daxzler organization.
II is true that "The Daxzler" has not the
merit OF novelty, but like "Uncle Toms
Cabin" or Tennyson's brook it Is bound to
run on forever, or, to accommodate "The
Dazzler," we might snake 1t two weeks
longer"
The new business introduced added con-
siderably TO the entertainment. A little
higher grade Of humor would improve the
piece and in one or two instances the
knife could be put in and twisted around
greatly to the advantage of the play,
removing features that mar an otherwise
acceptable play. Joseph A. OFT as Ezekiel
Pipes has apparently had his face in q
plaster OF paris mould ever since he was
here last and how he manages to retain the
make up of a face like that Is q problem
chat only its owner can solve. His keen
sense of humor enables him to gite to his
fines all their value and around him
centred several hours Of unalloyed fun
and merriment. Miss Annie Lewis as
the Dazzler is certainly an Improvement
over some of her predecessors.
Miss Annie Wilmarth- Curran has beau
siful voice, and in "My Alpine Home" its
full clear tones were given ample scope.
There are other clever singers and special
lists, and number of remarkably pretty
girls, all of whom contribute to the enjoy
ment of the evening.

attractions that no one wonders at its sue

Lothrop's Opera House.
"Frou- Frou is peculiarly we'll adapted
90 Miss Katherine ROBBERS talent and Lo-
throp's Opera House was filed yesterday
afternoon and evening to see its inter-
esting performance. The part OF Frou-
Frou is that of silly woman, capricious
Jealous and impulsive, and Miss Rober
Stimulates those characteristics with con-
siderable skill, everything considered.
She is painstaking and her work
shows the result of much attention
and a deal of study. Besides the merit of
playing, the part gives the little actress a
good opportunity to display several hand
some gowns, and her makeup altogether
affords pleasant stage presence. The stock
company, too, appears to more than usual
advantage, and the principal parts are
well played by Miss May Prindle, Miss
Julia Porter, Justin Paige, Leonard Roe,
Cameron Clemens, James Il. McElroy and
other favorites at this theater. The stage
fetting Is also very attractive, and the
special scenery is bright and well
arranged. "Frou-Frou" Is one of the best
attractions seen here in a long time. II
will be played every afternoon and oven-
ing this week.
