 GRAND OPERA HOUSE..
 A large and sppreoiative audience wit messed last night the magnificent produc- tion of .sThe Dark Side of . Great City" The scenes are laid in New York city. The pild driver scene in the second act is won- derful piece of mechanism. T. B. Butler, as the major, an itinerant pedlar of pills. late of the army, with a psnchant for the drama, ,was.very witty and was received with hearty applause. R. Erlyune, ,as ''Boh Stan ley, alias MT. Aerton," with desperate game, was william from the word "go." Cassie Fawcatt, as "Wildcat," ""a diamond in the roush," was always on time to rescue the victims of the villain from dreadful fate impending.
 Some of the specialties were Irish dsnc- ing by Thomas F. Natson, which was very clever, songs by Miss Ethel Butler and T. Butler, which were received with tremen- ous applause. The play will be repeated to. night and tomorrow night with matt. nee to to-morrow. Special announcement ia made by Manager Bunnsll that there will bs no mstiness this week nor next except ing on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
 One of the numerous speeislties inter- polated in 'Ths Hastler," in which jocu- lar John Kernell will be seen Friday and Saturday evenings with special matinee Saturday, Is an scrobatic act by James E. Smith and James E. Cook. It is said to be as productive of laughter as 1t is of wou- der. The wonder is elicited by the dif1-
 
 men, who maintainjthe assumed character of tramps while making their astonishing jumps. The act has 6 unique comic ter imitation.
 PoLIs WONDERLAND THEATKR.
 The smallest man in the world, who has been herslded by MT. Poll and his manager, Dale Armstrong, for the psst three months, Is at last on exhibition as the Wonderland this week, and his presence there fully H. illustrates that MT. PoH has selected the right name for his pretty little theater. Prince Tinymits is indeed . wonder. He is not much taller than the average four year-old child. He is nineteen years old and is bright and pleasant, ,and is checker fend. Yesterday afternoon and evening he played Ave games in the lobby of the theater and was only beaten once, and that was on what he styled . "bull." In addition to the little man Manager Poii presents the strongest vaudeville that has been seen in this city in many years. There are the four Diamsn- tine sisters, handsome and graceful girls, In their French quadrille, one of the best dances that has ever been performed and which has been the sensation of the the Atrical world since they left Paris. Guyer and Goodwin are the most clever perform ers that have been seen here in long lime and tho "silent in fun" of Chss. Guy sr is far superior to that of Frank NcNish. Martyne initiated the cryiug of baby so that he sets the ladies' in the audi- ] snce in roars of laughter and keeps the man ,n needles. Also on ths bill are Orville. o'Brien and Buckley, Picket and Nayon, md Roach and Oastlston.
