BEST ATTRACTION YET.
Isham's OctOrooms Received with Great
FaVOrat Davis Theatre.

IutOrAt Davis InSutrC'
Davis theater has a monster attrac-
tion this week in Isham's Octoroon
company. The large audience at yes
terday's matinee was completely capti-
waited with the entertainment afforded.
and encores We're deservedly numerous.
The company includes over a score of
colored people of several shades in COM
plexion. Every member is singer.
and several of them possess splendid
voices.
The entertainment opens with "The
Rlackville Derby" a horse and mule
racing scene. Between the races spe-
cialties are given. The Octoroon quar-
tette sang sweet Alice, Ben Bolt"
This was perhaps the finest single eff
fort of the performance. The quartette
was heartily recalled. The Mallory
brothers. musical experts. introduced
novel methods at music making. THE
Twentieth Century Swells," speciality
by ten women. which brought out sur
prising electrical effects. was given
with a vim. Three men gave a sketch,
THE Dago and the Monkey" Misses
Roberts, Emerson, Fisher and Holiday
led the company in pretty Spanish
ballet Fred j. Piper and Billy Johnson
showed dramatic ability in several de-
scriptive musical sketches and the peer
less entertainers. Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Mcintosh. excelled in a Commute dia-
logue.
The crowning feature of the perform
ance and one which was applauded to
the echo is Thirty Minutes from the
Operas" 1t is the finest thing of it's
kind ever introduced in this city. The
singing was good, costumes and scenery
correct. The chorus singing is equal to
any opera of more pretention than the
"Octoroons."
1t is a great attraction and deserves
the title THE Only One" 1t will be re.
peated today and tomorrow afternoon
and evening.

chorus members struggled along for
few more bars. but as the orchestra
was obliged to stop. finally ceased. An
attempt was made to light the gas,
but il was found that the gas had
ceased to flow.
The Indulgence of the audience was
asked and a kerosene lamp was placed
on the stage. which diffused a dim light
throughout the house. While the break

had occurred outside the house. was

the part that was a revelation vocally

portrayal was particularly vivid and

honor.
The chorus was not particularly well
balanced. and did not produce the best
effects at all times, but the majority
of the choral numbers were well given.
The audience seemed well pleased
with the presentation, and encouraged
the company with frequent applause.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Wagenhals and Kemper, Louis
James managers, realize the import
ance of presenting their star with such
surroundings of scenery, costumes, and
accessory details as to make his pro-
ductions artistically symmetrical and
pictorially attractive. They have in
vested over twelve thousand dollars in
scenery, costumes properties, armors,
furnitures, tapestries, drapings and
the thousand and one minor details
which almost escape observation yet
which are all essential to the perfec
tion of the stage pictures in which
will be enacted the different dramas
of Mr.. James repertory. This season
he will be presented to the public I'm a
manner beftting his high attributes
as an actor. His repertory will be a
varied one and will include "Othello,"
"Virginius," Hamlet" Merchant of
Venice" 1.-THE Robbers" Macbeth"
and "Marmion." Mr.. James will be
seen at the Academy of Music this eve

the impressions of his high capabilities
as an actor, which in past seasons.
