The Emma Warren compahy play ed the funny farce comedy "Too Many Tomkins" to Il fair sized audi ence last evening. The play consists of many personal complications and those implicated kept the house in an uproar of laughter during the performance. MT. j. $. Garside, as Basko Blithers alias Tomkins, again deserves special mention for his clever acting on this occasion, as did also Tom Stewart, who played the character of Fred Bellamy to perfec- tion. With matinee this afternoon and performance tonight, the Elm ma Warren company closes It's en- gagement. Having no date Satur- day night, the company will remain over here Saturday. Miss Warren, as has been previously announced in our columns, has donated the use of her orchestra to Mir. Clay Cement Saturday night. This willno doubt be highly appreciated by Mir. Clement and company.

The mere announcement that Mir. Creston Clarke would soon return to Pine Bluff has aroused an unusual degree of interest among the local theater goers. Mir. Clarke is well re- membered for his excellent perform ance here last season, and the well come he will IT ceiye on the occasion of his appearance at the opera honse next Wednesday,. Dec. z, will un- doubtedly be most cordial. There is heavy advance sale of seats and every thing points to crowded house. MT. Clarke will appear in Tom Robertson's delightful comedy. "David Garrick," and will have the supp ort of that most charmingly beautiful and accomplished actress, Miss Adelaide Prince, as we'll as the same splendid company seen here with them last season.
 Mir. Clarke's "Davy Garrick" is conceded to be one of his most artis- tic and pleasing Representations and his great power of both humor and pathos are displayed to remarka- ble degree. A complete equipment of very handsome costumes and stage settings is iprovided, thus as- surfing a performance that will be complete and satisfactory in every detail.
