The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-11-23

laughing loudly at one of the pms in his
monologue. The audience was justified,
audsMr. Cawthorne was not. That same
pun is hoary with age and rusty with fS-
miliarity. Most Sscramentans heard it
when on earth before. But with this
exception. Cawthorne was indeed jolly,
and his performance very refreshing and
pleasant. He has fine foil in the SOU
brette who is billed as Miss Buckley.
She has the charms and merit of natural
ness, modesty and perfect ease-that is to
say, what she does in action, speech
or song is apparently effortless, and is
never overdone. Miss Buckley is in fact
refreshing by contrast with soubrettes
we have had so frequently who were al
together artificial and efortful in their
work. The other support was on the
whole good. There is good deal OF
singing and dancing in the play and
merrlment from beginning to end. Mrs.
Annie Wood, who has been seen here be-
fore, is capital, an unctuou and olly-poly
matrenly body, who inspires Cawthorne
to exclaim what tall woman she
would make If rolled out" Mrs. Wood
is good example of the old school low
comedian, and in cockney dialect is
simply inimitable. She fairly steps out

drive out the blue devils from the most
chronic hypochondriac.
AT the Clunie Opera house this after
noon at 2 O'Clock, tonight at S o'clock.
and tomorrow night at the same hour,
the Eldridge- Halletr Stock Company will
present for tho last times the sensational
play. "a Hoop of Gold" 1t is finely
staged and capitally acted, and serves
excellently for an evenings entertain
ment. This company is a very strong
one, we'll balanced, well managed, and is
giving class of entertainments very far
above the level OF the low prices charged
for admission. 1t ought to have much
better support than has been accorded to
1t during the past week if the theater-
goers of the city desire its season main
tanned through the winter, and as bust
ness proposition is desirable for the city
that 1t should be continued without
break.
DIR. Carver's novel entertainment will
De given at Agricultural Park at p. IN.
tomorrow. The programme is varied
and interesting one. DIR. Carver is one
the most famous sharpshoe:ers of the
world, and will give thirty light distinct
examples of his wonderful skill, with
rifle and shotgun, on foot and on swift
galIoplng horses; shooting at balls, fruit
and coin tossed in the air; shooting from
looking-glass backward; rapid shoot
Ing Jump shots, double, treble and sex
triple shots, hip and shoulder shooting
and great variety of other feats, includ-
ing shooting under an object so as to toss
1t up, and then hitting it with second
shot before it falls. His famous trained
mare will dive from a 32-ioot hight into
pit of water, head first and at the
word OF command, and remain under
water several seconds. No horse has
ever been trained TO such feat before.
and that one could be is remarkable. AT
the conclusion of the show the same
animal will push her master from the
park with her nose against his very con-
siderable resistance. Wherever the
cham pion sharp-shooter has exhibited the
press has awarded him credit for doing
all he promises, and for giving a unique
| and greatly interesting entertainment.
DR.. Carver exhibited here seventeen
years ago, and was even then the cham
plon rapid and sharp-shooter OF the
world in trick firing and hitting espec-
tally. he holds American, English and
| German champion medals and trophies
in number. The shooting tomorrow
will begin exactly at 2 o'clock. The adj
mission is 30 cents for adults and % cents
Tor children.
