tion OF Mis- Bessie Lee, an artistic soprano,
with remarkable well trained voice when
its great strength is considered, the In
dividual efforts and even the Cuariets were
inferior TO the rest of the music. II would
be unfair, how ever, TO place them in COM
parison with the united singing-thas
was unsurpassable.
The dancing as OF the true Dixie char
acter, that only colored fingers on the
immortal banjo and colored feet could
produce.
The fun was found in superabundance in
the cake-w ak. and in fact cropping from
every turn and every quarter OF the unique
pre-. entation, that deserves every bit OF
The large patronage it " ill be ure 10 receive.
"sins of the Night" Frank Harvey's
latest and most successful meiodrama,
had its initial presentation in this country
at the Bijou Theater last night and scored
q success.
The house was filled to the doors with
an audience which thoroughly enjoyed
the efforts of a very strong company. IL
is an interesting story of love, Jealousy,
hatred. and villany, the scenes laid in Eng
land, and it is told in a most striking
manner by one of the strongest and best
balanced companies which has played
here this season.
In addition to the thrilling action of
the play, the scenery is a marked feature
and appropriately pictures the many scenes
in all the five exciting acts, each Of which
closes in strong climax.
The company includes Frank Harrington,
who, as the hero and ill-treated son
of a rich squire, always has the audience
with him, as it is with Miss Susie Wills,
who, q s the heroine, gave finished Inter-
pretation of loving and faithful wife.
The villain in the hands of Louis Glover
is frequently hissed for his fine representa-
tion of Ramez. THE comedy parts are
well taken by John Price as Terence and
Florence Marion as Peachblossom.
A noble character is that of Tim Dexter.
a circus clown, a constant friend and
man of generous impulses. and we'll enacted
by Phil Mccarthy. Lillian Price as the
the creole and Beatrice Glover as the
lady's maid made good impression In DIFF
ficult parts.
Gustavus Booker as the squire and
Ed J. Buckley, IT., as his detest alb le
nephew sustained and looked their re-
spectivepart to the satisfaction ofan. Bert
ram Hood as the heroine's father was one
of the strongest characters enacted. At
the end OF the second act the entire cona-
pany was called before the curtain.
Sam T. Jacks Original Creole Company
was the attraction at Kernan's Lyceum
isiSb tNthlill,s anu "
a packed house. There have not been very
many changes made in the show since it
was seen here last season. but some new
songs have been introduced that brought
the house down.
The performance opens with the entire
company on the stage. They do turn
that closely resembles a negro minstrel
show, and do 1t well. The end men crack
the same old jokes that ministries have
sprung on the public for many years, but
the public is just as willing To laugh at
them as ever.
The variety part of the show is good
one. GOggiu and Davis do some tumbling
that Is much better than the ordinary. and
are not allowed 10 leave the stage fOr
some time. Irving Jones, In his "side-
splitting act. was very funny. and Smith
and johnson brought down the house
with their humorous songs with banjo
accompaniments. Cole and Wiley did q
good turn, in which they introduced some
clever songs. and the performance wound
up with n grand cake walk and exhibi-
-tiou OF wing and buck dancing by the
entire company.
