 the Opera House Last Night.

the Opera House Last Night.
 The long anticipated theatrical enter
 tainment given by the Oriental Order
 Humility was most successfully redereo
 The audience was probably the larges
 ever seen in the opera house, standlnI
 room being at premium, and the en
 tertsinment was we'll worthy of th
 large patronage it received.
 As advertised trouble opened
 promptly at 8 with the "Kitchen Belle.
 The part of Penelope wGs played b!
 Miss Wilkinson. Mrs. Croker was play
 ed by Mrs. Treat. The male parts were
 played by J. G. Ailzinger, Col. Zabrlskit and pr. Odermatt, who represented res
 pectively Cornelius Moriarity, Col. Tos- ser and Walker Chalks. These parts were strongly represented and commend ably played. When Mr. Hilzinger un- dertook the rendition of the world ia nous song, Are You There, MoriarityT' the audience were literally psralyzed, and encored to the echo.
 The ladies acquitted themselves cred itabiy and the farce, with its many con thoroughly prepared the au> dience for the work Of the evening, COZ s,sting of the unfolding of the secrets of the mighty Order of Humility, although the effort was made to suppress the fact that the secrets of the 'Orienta. Order of Humility" was given away un- der the sobriquet of the "Ornamentai Order of Humidity"
 When the curtain went up on the iirS' scene the audience thoroughly realized hs. business WAS on hand, and 1t had t ,e done, and done In the most thorough ashion.
 The customas showed the handIwor! f "Worth" and were recognized by Tn adies as literally uperb. IL IS true the ose of Grand SIgnor Trippel We're omewh hat criticized, but whatever tie ,dies found defective was overlooked n account of the swan like graceful ess of the figure at the head Of the or | CT. The play had cast worthy ot the | fifth Avenue theRter as to numbers, | nd ss to quality and quantity, the New orkers would not Le m 1t.

 Mrs. Sniffins, es represented by Sl Atkinson, was inspired with her divine ghts and not easy to overcome but niffins sought courage, and when the le curtain went up on the next act, DOT Sniffius was lRboring in the throes
 initiation to the order from which be csped so much, and such remedial fleets in bis household affairs.
 Mrs. SnIffin's friend. Mrs. Eliza rundy- Mir. William Reid became ,gnizant of the fact that Snlffln was bout to undergo the torture oi le - and concluded she would ,certain for herself some Of the blood lrdling oaths against woman's eupre- acy. that candida. $ to the order were ,liced to take, so she stationed herself an elevat-d window to watch the bold anliness at "her Snitfen's" when Tn ,ntsct with bis fellow men and safely syond her influence, but her watch .eg fast and furious Gs she became ,ouainted with the true inwardness Of e order and th6t its principal object as to save the men.
