Thieves" aud this bids fair TO score an equal
success. The play in parts bears strong re-
semblance TO Hazel Kirke" and al times to the
Lancashire Lass" but not closely enough to
follow tn lines OF either IN its general siruc-
lure. Like all OF Haryey's works it is full OF
thrilling incidents and strong lines, inierspersed
with grand opportunities for comedy hits.
The excellent stock company at Morosco's is
well htted 10 production of this character
and the performance was an admirable one

for The rest OF the week.
"Our Boarding House" opened to a good
second week audience last night at Stock
Wells. The play improves at every repetition
and the house should do good business during
this last week OF the production.
The announcement for next week is Morton's
clever farce, "All That GlitterS Is Not Gold"
and the burlesque, Little John L."
Audran's "Mascot" has lost none of its
popularity, judging from the large house at the
Tivoli last night, and the laughter and applause
that greeted the performance Mr.. Hartman
got new fnu out Of the part of Lorenzo and
gave an extremely clever presentation OF that
character. He was ably seconded by Mr.. Leary,
who took the small part OF Rocco, and made one
of the hits OF The performance with it, giving
new business and new gags" The romantic
roles were well taken by Mr.. Rafael, who is
becoming quite a favorlie at this house, and
MIR. Branson whose work is always conscien-
tious.
The title role was cbarmngly taken by
Oracle Plaisted, whose rendition was marked
by animation and vivacity. Miss Sallnger was
a gOOd Fiametta, and her interpolated "Pflm.

applause. Mr. Kavanaugh MADE hit as
