~THE PLAY@
G0es9 9G3O 9Gxs0909Go00G90a

"The Smugglers'' was sung at the Jeffer- son thecfer last night by the Bostonians, and those who expected that the absence of Jessie Bartlett Davis and other well known artists from the ranks of tie famous organ zation would detract from the perform ance were disappointed
 Wtth Marcia Van Dressor, Frank Rush. worth. John Dunsmore and other splendid artists in the cast, the old favorites are scarcely missed.
 ''The Smugglu:s'' is one of the most tune ful and pleasing of the comic operas, and in the hands of the Bostonians is indeed delightful
 An enthusiastic reception was gwen each of the cd memoers of tLle company, espe- ciany Henry Clay Barnabee, who appeared in the role of Don BFaLdieTo, an alleged Spanish nobeman. MT Barnapee is vigor- ous despite his years and aSsayed his role last nistrt most satisfactorily and pleasing. Miss Van Dresser as Annuneiata, Span- ish beauty, scored a compete triumph, and was forced to respond to numerous encorss. She is a beautiful woman, possessed of a superbly moulded and graceful figure and a wonderfully sweet contrato voice. None the less enthusiastic was the reception given Helen Beptram in the role of Mer- cedes, whose magnificent voice was never heard to better advantage. The work of w. 1T. Macdonald as Martinez, chief of the smugglers; w. H. Fitzgerald, as Don Michele receiver of the in-goten goods; John Dinsmore, as Carcius, captain of the guards; George Buckingham as Zampa, a loyal servant; Frank Rushworth as Cor las, a captain; Josephine Bartlett as Ca rina, a smuSgler's wife, and Edith Hendel the dancing flower girl, was of a high artistic order, while the chorus was strong and well trained.
 'tThe Smugglers" was undoubtedly one of the treats of the season.

Ada kehan

On Friday night at the Jefferson theater Ada Rehan will be seen as Katherine in "The Tanning of tine Shrew.' Miss Ada Rehan, as an exponent of Shakespearean pants, stands today on the American stage without rival. As the shrewish wife of Petrucio in Planning of the ShGew'' she brings all her magnificent genius to the task and her Katherine is all that can be made out of the part. She runs the gamut of the emotions with the ease of a skilled musician touching the chords of his instru- ment She plays upon the heart strings of her audience, and no finer performance of anger, wilfulness and submission was ever rendered in the English language. Katherine is a very difficult part, as she arouses the antagonism of all good wives at the start of the play by her unreasoning fits of anger and unquestionably bad tenn per, but she more than makes amends for it as the play progresses by the metamor- phose into the mild and gentle wife, tanned by love into model woman. The sale of seats will commence this morning and the demand promises to be unusually large.

The Elders here are principally young
