IN THE THEATERS.

The great magician, Hermann, with.
his magnificent appeared.
to packed house again last night at the
Metropolitan opera house. and hun
dredS were unable to obtain seats, 1t
is remarkable how Herrmann's perform
ance has grown in favor with the public
OF ST. Paul each year, but there is a
good reason for it, as he improves his
performance with each visit and gives
his audiences startling novelties. Nine.
Herrmann's dance introductiOns are
alone worth the price of admission. He
closes his engagement at the Metro:
politan today with two performances,
matinee and evening. and it goes WITH
out saying that the house will be packed
to the doors at both performances.

tomorrow night and the remainder efs
the week, including the regular Sasar-S
day matinee, Abbott and Tillotsoal,s=
comedy company will play an engage
ment Ill the great laughing success that
has been seen here before. "Niobe. ~
The company is changed somewhat in
personnel since its last visit here, but
the changes in the cast have not married
the performance in the least, and
"NioOe" will no doubt please its audi
ences as 1t has heretofore. Seats can
now be secured at the box Office.

Next Monday evening will inaugurate
the most imost important musical event
of the season, which will be the produc-
ton of The Fencing Master'' at the
Metropolitan opera house, by the Whit
ney Opera company, with dainty little
Marie Tempest in the leading role.
The Fencing Master' is generally
acknowledged to he Messrs. De Koyen
and Smiths best work, and is consid-
cred the strongest American comic op-
era. 1t ran over $50 nights at the New
York Casino, where it was originally
produced, with Marie Tempest in the
leading role. and has since been SUCCESS
fully presented in all the large cities
East and South. The Whitney compa-
ny is remarkably well-balanced ogani-
zation. its list of principals including
many OF the best known light opera
favorites Of the day.
The sale of seats will commence at the
box Office on Thursday morning next.
The engagement here is for six nights
and Saturday matinee, and Miss Tenn
pest VIII appear at every performance.
The "Romany Rye" in its several
scenes and acts presents various phases
OF character for the study of an audi
ence. The story of the play is essen
TALLY an English one, and it is located
amidst picturesque surroundings in
many instances, but it shows in the
strongest light some of the lower phases
OF life as they exist in London. The
greatest interest in the present engage
ment, however, is in the principal
player, Mr.. Losee, not that he needs to
make record for himself. but from the
reason that he is so we'll known and
liked by theater goers in this city.
On Sunday night the first railroad
drama of the season will be seen at the
Grand. The Danger Signal' has in it
more in number and perfection in de-
tail than any of the other plays in it's
effects taken from and connected with
story of life on the rail. notably the
big working engine, the rapidly moving
express train. the freight train and the
| snow pillow in action. Each one OF these
Is introduced as a part of the working
! out OF the Story, and not logged in
without rhyme or reason, as is the case
| in many instances where realism in
| effects is relied upon to win tue FAVOR
| of an audience.
