ments, harmony, rhythm. with an in
terwoven iot'of fun and sparkling jollity
that makes the whole beautiful, mirth-
full and inspiring.
Miss Anna Boyd was bewitchingly
clever as Aladdin, shapely as q nymph,
and as sprightly az Parsenne. with a
tuneful voice and charming manner.
Miss Ada Deaves made q most enter.
tanning part of the Widow Bohea, while
Miss Crater as XII Yi's daughter and
Miss Ray ymond as Chez Kee were charm
ing.
Mr.. Gain. the Chew Chew. was as
funny as it is safe for anyone to be. his
topical songs and "business" bringing
down the house, and Mr.. Henry Nor
man, the wicked magician, was impress.
i've and versatile to the extent OF max
ing himself prime favorite. His song
of Miser Herr Konn is most taking.
All OF the rest of the company were
deserving of commendation, especially
the cat. There never was before such q
funny. prankish, joke of feline ss the
cat in Aladdin. He can be seen and
enjoyed, but never described, for words
fail to convey the peculisritles Of this
joyous animal.
The dances throughout are novel and
artistically performed, and the fairies
are as arule youthful looking, graceful
and with contours attractive to the eye.
The scenery is indesoribably gorgeous
and the costumes. properties and ac-
coutrements dazzling and rich to de.
gree. The topical songs, the jokes and
the fun generally are frssh, sinking and
pointed.
The spectacle will be presented during
the week, and merits liberal patronage.

that OF Eugene Sandow. The remain
ing company is one o! good merit, each
mem ber in their separate line come in
for share of credit. Russell & Ryder
are interesting comedians, while the
Quigley brothers are the best soft shce
dancers that have visited this city.
Geo. Harrison. May Dsrellion, Toner and
Frobel. Ward and Martin, are all clever
in their lines.
The New Vienna Buffet is, notwith-
standing the rainy nights, we'll patron
lied, and the delighted audience never
gets tired listening to the sweet strains
OF music dispensed of by the unexcelled
Berth'd orchestra. Miss Rita Cough,
who is taking everyone ny storm that
hears her sing. is rising in popularity
very rapidly. Her voice is Of the order
that touches the hearts; she sings with
pathos, and the notes that come from
her throat come from the heart as we'll.
Hsr enunciation is fine. and is the re-
