THE JEFFERSON,

There was something in the atmosphere
of the Jefferson last night suggestive OF
the enthusiastic interest incident TO an
Opening night At 7.30 O'Clock the
crowd began to gather seeking admission
and at the ringing up Of the curtain
the boxes were occupied and every seat
in this spacious house fillod and even
standing room was eagerly sought. The
occasion which brought out this large,
fashionable and enthusiastic audience
was the presentation of George Edward s
musical comedy of s'The Circus Girl. -
The story of the play deals with the love-
making of Dick Capel who pretends to be
the cannon king of the circus, and Dora
Wemyss, fresh from convent; of Biggs,
an American bartender, and Lucille, the
slackwire walker; and of Hon Reginald
Cover and La Favorita, the circus girl,
from whom the play takes its name.
There is an English baronet, somewhat
firtatious, and an array Of CIRCUS peo-
pie, including ring masters, and. OF
course, the irrepressible clown.
The first act is outside of French cafe.
and is full of songs and choruses, mirth-
some doings in which prettily oostumed
women are ever to the fore. In the sec
ond act We are confronted with the
green room of the circus, with curtains
which shut out the circus proper The
last scene is masquerade ball which is
effective in scenery and costumes.
Mary Young sings, dances and acts ex-
quisitely, and Amanda Fabris presents
a most pleasing personality. Mr.. Slavin
is very funny as the bartender and Mr..
Flint possesses a rich bass voice which
he uses to good effect. Mr.. Edwards in
