The Metropolitan was filled down
stairs and well peopled aloft last night,
when the Shaw Company presented
rip Van Winkle,' with Mr.. Shaw as
Rip. We confess to surprise that Mr..
Shaw succeeded so well in so difficult
a role Indeed, his Rip will stand well
abreast with many of the far more pre-
tentious. He invests it with a great
deal Of feeling, and is very wise in not
exaggerating the humorous side of the
character. 1t is simple justice to say
that it was a thoroughly good person
alton, and that the support was good
throughout. This afternoon at the
matinee the rafting comedy, Our
Bachelors" viii be presented. On this
occasion a souvenir viii be presented to
each person in the audience. Tonight
Mr.. Shaw viii appear in a character
strongly contrasting with anything he
has yet done. In Farmer Stebbins"
he viii take a part of the order Den
man Thompson has made famous. The
piece has not been played here. 1t is
brimful of odd situations and mirth-
provoking tableaux.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a large and we'll satisfied
audience in the Clunie last night When
The Golden Lion was presented for
the second time by Mr.. Bacon's excel
lent company. 1t was played with
spirit care and general excellence. 1t
is a romantic story, melodramatic, yet
with an odd vein of humOr pervading
it. EIr. O'Brien's Simon is the low
comedy role. and one of rustic simplic-
ity that provokes the heartiest laugh
ter. Mr.. ScOtt's Scotland Yard Detec-
tive is well personated. 1t is evident
that Mr.. Scott has greatly improved
in his methods. He certainly is more
at ease and less studied than when
seen here last, and is now distinctly
artistic in his work. Mr.. Bacon, for
the fist time this season, is playing a
quasi heavy part. That he does it so
well testifies to his versatility.
THE Golden Lion viii be played
at the matinee at , o'clock this after
noon and again this evening.

to her dock at Lake Station. Her connection
