 GRAND OPERA HOUSE. A packed house greeted the Pat Rooney Comedy company in their musical farce, entitled "Lord Rooney" last evening. The three acts of the play are filled with new witticisms and topical and classical songs, which altogether make "Lord Rooney one of the most enjoyable plays of its kind to-day on the American stage. Katie Roo- | ney in the role of Chips made q decided hit last evening. In limitations of her father, Pat Rooney, she portrayed the we'll. known comedian go faithfully ss to bring down the house. Equally good was Msttis Roo- ney, as Miss Demeanor. Together with her sister, Katie, some pretty and pleasing dances were rendered which evoked vigor, l ous applause. Frank Davis, as Pat Dug gan, was excellent, and together with Thomas Pssslsy, ss Lionel Bedford, man. aged to keep the house in Q continuous roar from the Yise until the fall of the cur tain.
 F Frank Latona as MT. Bslmer was fair but in the role of the Musical Tramp he showed himself sn artist of several instruments. His rendition of 1T Long to See the Girl I Left Behind," upon a one-stringed violin, brought forth deafening applause. Ar. Wallace Wedlake as Thomas Opkins was good and saug the "Yeomsn's Wedding Song" in excellent style and taste. Miss Aadge Sinclair as Miss Snuff ,s was a per- feet old spinssr, with the curls, wrinkles and smiles. Her singing of II Can't Re- sist You, Sir," brought forth encore after encore. Master Pat Rooney in his several speoialties also made hit. The rect of the company were good. Taken as a | whole, "Lord Rooneyn is as good as 1t Is represented to be, and If anything soms- what better. It will be repeated this af- ternoon and evening and tomorrow after noon and eve2tng.
 "The Burglar" will be the attraction the first three days next week. "rhe Bur- glar" is one of those charming stage pie lures, the like of which is too seldom of fered nowadays.

It is because of Its power to command . sympathetic response from all parts of tho theater that ''The Burglar" is to-day one of the most substantial successes known.
 PoLI's WONDERLAND THKATKR.
 The bill at Polls Wonderland thsater is the best of the season 50 far and is drawing full houses. There is not dall aot on the long bill, and there are several novelties that are refreshing. The comedy sketch of Crimmens and Gore Is greeted with roars of laughter, even before e word is spoken. The tablesu "What Are the Wild Waves Sayine." is 30 ridiculous as to cause an outburst of applause at once. Signor Mellini in his exhibition of Oriental occult fam has created a decided sensation, and ct the conclusion of his experiments many rub their eyes to see if they have not been dreaming. The other sets on the long bill are excellent and Manager Poli can boast that he has this week the best specially l performance that has ever been seen in ! this city for the prics of admission.
