Orpheum.-A crowded house and most
ohnoxiously noisy gallery were present
last night to greet the new corners on the
bill and the favorltes of last week. OF the
latter Messrs. Hickey and Dole gave some
more of their darkey comedy, high kick
ing and other acrobatic feats.
Dolan and Lenharr mystified their aud
fence with some alleged mind-reading
that was extremely neat and clever, how
ever it was done; and the monkeys per-
formed their unique tricks with an under.
standing that was unusual even in monk
eys. In the shaving and hair-cutting act
the barbcr--they showed vim and a
seriousness OF purpose. that appeared to
be more real than simulated.
OF the new people, Bertoldi, the bone
less girl. is well named and does every
thing but turn herself inside out, with an
case and grace that are marvellous. She
dances the waltz and the polka on her
hands, with her feet in the air. She goes
upstairs on her hands with so little APP
parent effort that 1t is surprise when
she walks down, and vice versa. She has
1.-THE, sinewy little figure, pretty
face and charming manner, and she can
unjoint every bone in her body and stand
on her head for what seems like ha an
hour, and never change color.
Miss Lillian Mason is also new this
week. She has a very good voice, a clear

But the hit of the evening was
the Barra troupe, 1.-THE only, the
original musical eccentrics.' Two men
and two women, gorgeous in the glory OF
red, white and blue, with stars and gold
lace and epaulets. The makeup of ali
was extremely effective in many ways,
their musical feats were both curious and
interesting, oil are very funny and they
played on everything from a gun to pO-
liceman.
They were called back and called back
They were generous in giving their. en-
cores, and it was then that the gallery
made itself absolutely offensive in its pro-
longed shrieks and hOwls, and whistles
and yells. 1t was inexcusable and will
not be apt to be drawing card to the
house If 1t is permitted to continue.

they will present Julius Caesar, Otkello,
RICHARD III, and Henry ~. This week
will be notable principally for the pre-.
sentation of Henry w. This is one OF
tho most celebrated and popular of ali
Shakespeare's plays, but has not been
played of late years. as it requires cast
gilmore than ordinary strength. While
tho characters of Prince Hal and Hotspur
are worthy the mettle of any artist the
interest has always been conferred in Sir
John Falstaff, which has very often been
made the star part. Shakespeare has de-
ceiveed many people as to this man y
character, and as there is not much said
Of him in history, he has deluded many
into believing Falstaff a prodigious bluff
in arrant coward and knave and an I'M
caualed liar, and with all these qualities
lie had made him palatable with cheer
full humor and fund IF wit and satire.
An q matter of fact Sir John Falstaff,

his life he lived like country gentleman,

often charged with important military
functions and distinguished himself on
many occasions by his bravery in action.
