PARK THEATRE.
The Last Are First and the First Last in
Honor Of Yesterdays Program.

Honor Of Yesterdays Program.
The performance at the Park thea
tire yesterday was an agreeable sur
prise. As it was the off week of the
| theatrical season, and Furthermore, few
of the names on the bill bore an ex-
tended reputation, indications pointed
| to mediocre entertainment. On the
contrary, the final curtain fell on one
OF the most amusing shows of the sea-
son, and the biggest hits Of all had
been made by those performers in small
type at the end Of the bill, of whom
the least was expected.
A troupe aptly termed "the monde
script trio" gave a highly diverting
sketch, in which one of the members
made fun, while the others teaped and
kicked in an extraordinarily daring
way. The equal of the trio in back
ward jumping and high kicking has
never vet been seen here, and their act
deserves whole page to itself. The
trapeze act of the Maginleys was like
wise deserving of high praise. Their
most daring feats are done while the
woman is suspended by strap held
hrmly in the jaws of the man, though
the maNlllary muscles of both are Won
derfully powerful

The London Spectator rises to re-
mark that out of the welter of
the recent war, many figures have
emerged into notoriety, but few have
achieved fame" The Spectator. in
fact, finds but three immortaIs, Ad-
miral Dewey, the man of action:
Gen. Leonard Wood, the administrator
of Santiago; and Mr. DooIey of Chi
cago, who, as critic, has "eclipsed all
competitors by his mingled satire and
sagacity," and has welded :'the shafts
of ridicule with as unerring aim as the
immortal Artemus Ward himself" 1t

however, to see all America laugh
