| The production of this beautiful comedy
drama, by those talented and accomplished
| actresses, the Tittell sisters, at the opera
| house last Thursday evening, wac undoubt-
edly the theatrical event of the season.
| Why such an excellent play, interpreted by
performers OF established reputation and
| splendid ability, should fail TO draw is dif-
ficult to comprehend. Is it because times
are hard? Or is Manager Howell, whose
efforts to secure such legitimate players
should be substantially encouraged, TO un-
derstand that the people do not want this
class of entertainment No doubt the
scarcity OF money has much to do with the
case, but the great trouble seems to lie in
the fact that the pubic-the theatre-going
public of this city, with few exceptions,
have no taste for this kind of plays. There
seems 80 exsist an abnormal appetite for
something that will provoke their risabili-
ties; something sids-splittiug. It is not
altogether strange that this should be the
case. Laughter is essential to an active
people. But too much cheap fcolishness is
apt to become mawkishness. Let us be en-
tertained, in the first place. That is neces-
sary. But above all we should be improved
by our amusements. We should be in
structed, edited, educated by them. Give
us, however, the best there is in nature, not
the worst Give us pictures of beauty, not
of bitterness and gloom.
Frou F,ou, it must be admitted, is not Il
