AS THE CORNDS COME OUT.

Marie Tayary, mistress of the cadepza and
the trill, and the possesser of some sweet
tones. was greeted very cordially at the New
National last night, as also were each of the
principals who supported her in al Trova-
tore. Leonora is one OF Madame Tavary's
favorite roles, and she sang it carefully and
consclentlously. Her voice was heard to bet
ter advantage than In her Metzerott Hall
concerts last winter, just alter the disbanding
OF her other company in Buffalo.
The Hinrich opera season at the Academy
some months ago made Guile a favOrite in
Washington and he was heartily received last
/ night He is scarcely the ideal tenor in
physical presence but his voice makes one
forget everything else, so pure, rich, and easy
are his tones.
Thea Dorre brought a fine dramatization
and average realization into the part Of
Azucena. and her second-act duo and recitative
with Guile was gem. William Martens sue
ceeded in parting company with the key and
siiencing the orchestra through a theme in
the Counts Song" but the quality of the
voice made up for such minor consider
alton the mere pitch. The others of the
cast were acceptable The Bohemian Girl
will be played tonight.
"A Wild Duck" went off swimmingly at
Albaughs last night Il is the prettieSt
animal Of its class that has padded this way
in many long web-footed year.
Manager Allen was all but on the point of
hanging out his standing room sign when
the curtain Went up, aud the chances are that
the aforesaid pasteboard will be required
before the week is over.
Mark Sullivan did some clever impersona-
tions OF fellow actors; John Page created the
impression thai his little body was full of
springs; Nellie Hawthorne sang poorly and
looked sweet: Miss Lizzie Mccoy. about thir-
teen years she looks. came pretty near being
the whole show. aud was aided by her older
and taller sister; they had ave recalls.
Last but not least was Marie Staart radiant
type Of Partisan naughtiness, with "A Gallic
lisp and pretty figure. Oh. how the bald
heads hearts papitated. And Just TO think
that aeXt Monday night they are to have
another sweet Marie in the person of Miss
Jansen. Verify Manager Allen doth love to
tickle those hairless crunlums where the flies
also tickle.
ION the Mississippi" the new drama by
William HawOrth. author of The Ensign"
was presented at the Academy last night be-
fore large and appreciatiye audience. The
play is typical Of the South as il was In l667-S
and the scenes are laid in and around New
Orleans. The scenic artist has spared no
pains. The scenes of the Mississippi River
front at night, the levee and floating theater
the Clay statue on Canal street, the great
/ swamp above the city. etc. are fine specimens
OF his art. William HaWOrth PLAYED the part
Of Ned Raymond, a wealthy mine owner,
and his delineation of the part was
equal to his ability as an author
Mr.. Ernest Hastings. as Dave Tyson, made
most hospitable Southern gentleman. Joseph
Conyers as the soap drummer was very funny
The character Of Billy Dean. sheriff of Marion
county, was in the CAPABLE hands OF Thomas
A. Wise. Wilson Deal as Jefferson Sanborn
made an accomplished villain. OF the ladies
Miss Gail Forest as Celeste Grandon the ad-
ventures, was the most prominent. Miss
Josie Sisson as Cely a mountain flower, was
q very clever soubrette.

tertainment presented included several clever
specially people, c. VI. Williams in his ven
Jrioquial act, Nile Agnes ChGrcot, the lad Y
hypnOtlst, and Prof Y. 7. Wormwood's

4 larry interesting. Nile. Charcot showed

Scott Marbles new play. Tennessee Pard-
ner, opened for a week 5 engagement at But
ler's Biou Theater last night NotwIthstand-
ing the warm weather the audience was very
large and certainly very liberal in its ap-
pause. This drama, although a typical
Western one. is delightfully."- lacking in the
blood and thunder customary in such plays
Miss Cora Van Tassell is a charming actress.
and her acting in the part OF Tennessee Kent,
the girl from Smoky Mountain was decidedly
refreshing. Miss May Drew as the landlady
of sudden stop House was the typical
hospitaDle host of the South. Mr. Charles 3.
Hawkins. the clever character artist. was
very good. VIII T. Granger as Tom Romaine
was an accomplished villain. Ed Clifford's
rendition Of Caleb Swan, Tenn essee's pard,
deserves commendation. Tennessee Pard-
ner' viii be seen at the Bijou all the week
with the customary TDatfnaas
