other feature in the show. The specially
Dances by Emilia Bartoletti and Amelia
Mayerhoffer are very beautiful and of
the most difficult kind. The speciality
scene of Musical Nurses is new and
very amusing. The remarkable versa
tility of the chorus in assuming char
aoters of the Bowery stripe with excel
lent comedy effects and quick and COM
plete make ups surprised old thea
ter goers. In short, this spectacle ant.
fairy play is one of the very few
entitled to rank first class 1t will be
given at o'clock this afternoon and
again this evening at s o'clock. For the
matinee the prices are reduced. The
performance began last night at 800
and closed at 1920. The management
says that the same rule will obtain to-
night. Many late corners last night
managed to interfere with the pleasures
of those who came on time, and in con-
sequence the laggards missed onesot the
best quick transformation scenes in the
spectacle, involving a complete scene
shift in an instant by reversal of the
flats which fold upon each other. While
the company leaves for Portland to-
night the management, which kept its
word before on a last night, promises
that there shall not be a single feature
cut out, nor the Fastening of a single
scene. The company is large and its
corps of stage and department hands is
unusually full, so that it packs with
great celebrity; besides arrangement has
meen made for special late transporta-
ton
AT the Clunie Opera house this after
noon at and tonight at : the best of
Leavitt's speciality proups and the last
he will bring here for some time. 1t is
one of the most amusing and enter
tanning variety performances ever CIV
en- at the Opera-house.
Those who did not attend the dra-
matte and musical recital given by Miss
Mabel Carmichael last night missed
treat. The programme was an excel
lent one and gave great satisfaction to
the audience. 1t opened with a piano
duet between Pearl Baldwin and Miss
Carmichael which was we'll rendered.
The dancing of Edna Ferriter, Miss
Dennis and George Bryant was excel
lent, as was Miss Baldwin's club swing
ing A. w. Watson gave a humorous
recitation in a style that brought him
an encore. The recitation of Mrs. @. A.
Watson was gem, and that or MISS
/. Ross was eXcellently rendered. The
violin solos OF Ethel Grant, especially
the fantasia on Schuberts ''Serenade," !"
were given with good taste and feeling
as was the piano solo of Miss DepeW,
and Loie Fullers Chinese dances, by
Leona, should not go Unmentioned. In
the scenes from Macbeth" which Miss
Carmichael gave as Lady Macbeth, with
George a. Watson, late of Frederick
WardeS and Louis James companies,
she astonished and pleased her Warmest
admirers. Her physique is not what one
would expect in Lady Macbeth, but it
was forgotten in the fervor and inten-
sity she threw into her rendition. While
it was in a degree amateurish, she un-
deniably possesses dramatic talent that
needs only hard study and experience to
enable her to make herself a name. The
scene in which Lady Macbeth tempts
her husband to the bloody deed and
chides his fears and regrets, was eff
fectiveIy given and elected the applause
of the audience. Mr.. Watson is too well
and favorably known as an actor to
need any praise and was an excellent
foil for her rendition of the part.
