There was a change of bill in Lothrop's
Opera house yesterday. The farce enti-
tied GA New England Home," supplanted
"Ten Nights in Barroom," and it proved
to be a rollicking entertainment. "a New
England Home" is happily named for the
farce presents rural characters more or
less familiar to people ereabouts. Its
object is to amuse and for this
purpose &to author has for a
central figure typical character
often encountered in village life, per-
son who is known far and wide for her
peculiarities. All other characters are
subordinated to this pivotal one around
which the Others revolve in a light story
that is wholesome and agreeable. The
part of Aunt Priscilla Puffey, the village
gossip, bent upon marrying the old deacon
was breezily and quantity impersonated
by Harry LAMAR, who gave a strong re-
minder of Neil Burgess, in his robust por-
trayal OF Aunt Abrigail in "The
County Fair" Mr.. LAMAR sue
ceeded in keeping two good sized au-
diences in the best Of humor. Jay Hunt
illustrated his versatility by a meritorious
portrayal OF aged Deacon Perry, aunt
Priscilla's victim. j. Francis Kirke
played juvenile character Unexpectedly
well, and Miss Laura Deane, Miss Flor
ence Mack, Miss Lillian Mortimer, Miss
Lea Michael, Little Charlotte,
A. III. Field, T.. r.. Bur-
ton and other members of the stock COM
pany rendered adequate support. New
England Home" will be played afternoons
and evenings for the balance OF the week.

AMUSEMENT CHANGES.



Houses Chspgs Attractions.
William Gillette looks like man ac-
quaintcd with grief, but he actually is as
funny as goat. He kept large audience
laughing for three hours in the Provi-
dence Opera house last tevening by his capi-
tai impersonation of "The Private Secre-
tary." Mr.. Gillette is finished comedian.
He gets his results by legitimate means
and doesn't play to the house. He is to all
intents and purposes the Rev. Robert
Spaulding, and the truthfulness of the
portrayal secures the sympathy OF specta-
tors, and all resent the indignities
heaped upon him, while they
laugh necessarily et his remarkably
simulated simplicity and wonderment.
The predicament brought about by mix
ing OF identities, the quiet divine being
taken for a scape-goat young man with
sporting tendencies, made the most ludic-
rous situations and it was small wonder
that the unsophisticated student believed
that he was in mad house. Mr.. Gill
lette's personal appearance, beyond his
art, is peculiarly adapted to the imper-
sonation of the private secretary. He Is
very tall and thin and his face
Is as mournful looking as
Rev. Mr.. Spaulding with very little prac-
tical knowledge OF the world and a large
family Of apparently half-starvcd children.
Mr.. Gillette is very quiet In his methods,
free from int-uding stage tricks and he
appreciates the value of little things.
Frequently a movement of his eyes, head
or hand suggests paragraphs of talk
and his comedy no matter how
extravagant 1t is seems to be
the natural outcome of the situation.
Mr.. Gillette is naturally student and the
character of the private secretary fits him
as completely as his cuticle. 1t Is worth
seeing and carping care has very little
room while this performance is on. The
supporting company Is far above
the average. George Woodwards irascible
old Cattermole being almost up to the
standard of the star, and Charles w.
Buffers Gibson, the taylor demonstrated
that he is good comedian. "The Priv
ate Secretary" will be played this evening,
and Saturday afternoon and evening.
