I.afayetIe-"The Girl From Paris"

At the Lafayette last night 1.-The Girl
From Paris shone with all the scintil-

her last arrival here, although she, her
self, was a different girl. The part has
been played by both Ollie Redpath and
Clara Lipman. but George Game, the
present heroine, is q shade the best of
the three She IS brilliant. chic. and
pleasing from the tip OF her altitudinous
bonnet to the toes of her dainty slippers.
Her songs, her dances her clothes and
her conversation are all very French in
deed.
Miss Anna Buckley though not Pari-
sian or intended 10 be so. is very sue
cessful in her part of Ruth. Miss Cheri
dab Simpson takes the part of Norah.
formerly PLAYED by Andree Lorraine, and
the role Of Tom EVerleigh. formerly done
by Augustus CTamer. is now taken by
Benjamin Howard. Auguste Pompier is
very successfully portrayed by Mr.. Nick
Long. There are a few other changes
among the minor characters in the cast,
but as q whole the company, which is
combination Of two others that have
been playing the comedy, is a decided inn
provement on that seen here earlier in
the season.
THE Girl From Paris is what might
be called a gymnastic as well as mu-
steal comedy being full OF athletic dane
ing and very lively songs and jokes. None
of these have lost any of their very spicy
flavor, and the song about Sister Mary
James Top Note" has had one or two
additions in the shape of new stanZas.
The audience filled the theater and SEEM
ed TO enjoy all the good points in the per-
