operas at the TheateI. Immediately
sftor the De Wolf Hopper engagement,

interest with which her enteTiaiD ment
was anticipated. Nor were tho ex-
psetatIons disappointed, II tho applause
accorded both the star ami her clever
supporters be taken as an expression OF
the sentiments OF . cultivated audi
ence.
Doross Ia . pretty little comedy
redundant with music. In tho frst act
tho audience Ia introduced 10 an inn
keeper anu his wife, lord aud MS
friend and a lady disguised as q ped
dlor, and her attendant. The LORD, a
libsItine, takes fancy TO the INN
keepers wife, whom he knows only by

save her honor. agrees to n proposition
by the supposed peidler, really the
sister Of the lord, to impersOnAie his
wife, and In the second act these two
are Introduced into his lofdbhlp pa
family. All sorts OF funny situations
arc the result, and they conIiuue
through the third act, where tho lor1's
friend makes love to the supposed wife
OF the innkseper ard Ia accepted by
her, before all the ntsnglements are
clesred up.
Pauline Hall has the role OF Lady

OF an entirely different type, and
without tho Program II would
