LARKS.
The Baron Louis Weithoff Co. op-
ened three nights engagement at
the opera house last Thursday even
ing, producing farce comedy, enti-
tied "Larks." It is comedy Of the
horse character, with but little plot,
and only calculated to make people
laugh. Baron Weithoff and Mrs.
Weithoff interpreted their roles to the
full extent allowed by the author, and
they pleased the audience.
NAB, THE MINERS DAUGHTER.
On Friday night the bill was "Mab,
the Miners Daughter" a sensational
comedy drama, with flash of revolt
vers every now and then, and dirk
or bowie knife sandwiched in occa-
sionally just to relieve the monotony.
A miner in Australia is murdered by
his supposed friend, who gets himself
appointed guardian over the miners
daughter, and attempts to filch the
property of the miner after being ap-
polnted-even going so far as to at
tempt the killing of the miners wife
and daughter. Mark Renshaw is the
heavy villain, and the Baron assumes
the part. He receives no applause,
and he knows that he is doing excel
lent work. After it is all over the
audience is frank in admitting that
he is an excellent interpreter. Every
time that he is about to consummate
a piece of villainy Mabel Weithoff, in
the charming character of "Sprightly,"
hobs up with a pistol in either hand
and bowie knife in her mouth, and
prevents it. There is wild applause,
and Mabel is endorsed. Annie Thomas
Gray does excellent work in dual
role, while Messrs. Gray and Shaw
and Jack Matthew make good sup
port.
FOLLIEs OF A NIGHT.
France, during the reign of the var
ious kings, bearing the name of Louis,
was considered the most prominent
for loose morals, so far as court circles
we're concerned, in all the Nations of
the earth. The courts were merely
assemblages of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the
theatres presented plays in harmony
with the practice of courts, while all
other public amusements were carried
on in a similar manner. "Follies of
a Night" might be said to have been
handed down from that reign. It's
plot is laid at the feet of the XIV
Louis. and is sensational enough for
the XIV Louis. The Duke De
Chartres attends bal masque. His
wife likewise attends incognito. The
Duke, always after women, falls in
love with her. She, not wanting to be
known in the crowd, attempts to run
away from him, and fainting. falls in
to the arms of a young country fellow
who happens around. He carries her
to his room and attempts to make her
his mistress. The Duke continues his
chase, while the police are after him.
He reaches the room of the young
man, Pierre Palliot, and seeks refuge.
Here he finds the woman he has been
chasing. She cleverly locks the room
on both and escapes to her home,
where, later the whole truth is revealed.
Mr.. Wiethoff makes an admirable
Duke of that time and kind He is
as full of caprice and folly as the Nv
Louis, and he creates sensational
merriment in happy mood Mr..
Gray, in the role of Pierre Palliot,
carries off the honors. He is immense.
Miss Gray as the Duchess De Chartre,
interprets the role to perfection. She
was beautifully costumed, and is
bewitching artist, who quickly COM
mands favor. The balance of the sup
port was poor.
