"THE ROYAL BOX. :"

Charles Coghlan and his new play,
THE Royal Box" will be at the Grand
Opera House Wednesday evening. Mr.
Coghlan, the eminent English actor, is
one Of the brightest writers who has
contributed to the contemporaneous
literature of the stage. He has written
nine plays, all Of which have been we'll
received, and displayed great literary
merit and dramatic worth. 1t is not
generally known that Mr. Coghlan was
born in Paris and played in French be
fore he ever appeared on the English
stage His education was substantially
gained in the French capital, although
he spent three or four years in study
at Berlin, Germany. In his early youth
he was a most assiduous bOok-worm
particularly devotlng his attention to
the reading Of dramas and all literature
pertaining to the stage When 16 years
of age he wrote five-act play in blank
verse, having it in costume in a public
hall in Londan, when but IS years OF
age, TO a paying house. Mr.. Coghlar
made productions Of the Merchant Of

actor or a producer, and he employed

A coon pTRFORMANCE.

Evans & Hoey's ever popular "a
Parlor Match" went off with a crack
and sparkle at the Opera House last
evening, and judging from the constant
applause that greeted the efforts OF the
performers by the good-sized audience
assembled to witness the show, every
one appreciated the performance.
OF course none of those present ex-
pected to see such a rendition as was
formerly given by the originals of the
play, but all were agreeably surprised
at the efforts OF their successors. Every
speciality was well rendered, the me
chanical effects pleasing and the voices
Of the singers in good form. The au-
dienoe was especially pleased with the
singing of the Olympia Quartet, and its
drilling in their "Our Volunteers
scene. Quite a number of Dockstader's
performers were present and Joined
heartily in the applause.
