THEATRICAL.
The Patricolo Concert.

One of the most pleasing and enjoyS
able numbers of the Brockway course
was given at the Lyceum last night
by the Patricolo company, which is
composed of Signor Angelo Patricolo,
pianist; Miss Eleanor Goodman. So
prano: Miss Ruth, Anderson, violinist,
and Miss Jennie d. Shoemaker, reader.
The programme was varied and judi
ciously arranged and was executed
with great skill by the performers.
Signor Patricolo is pianist Of more
than ordinary ability and his rendi-
tion Of his first number last night, LA
Somnambula," established him as a ia
vorite with the audience. He had to
respond to an encore. His other num-
bers We're also more encores.
Miss Shoemaker, a young woman who
possesses true dramatic ability, made
perhaps the most pronounced hits of
the evening by her recitation OF dra-
matte fragment taken from HQuo Va
dis" The singing of Miss Goodman
and the violin playing of Miss Ander-
son We're very pleasing features of the
evenings entertainment
"The Great Diamond Robbery
Last night the Klimt-Hearn company
presented THE Great Diamond Rob-
berry" at the Academy Of Music before
a delighted audience. In the afternoon
"A Millionaires Daughter attracted
large audience.
This afternoon Held by the Enemy"
will be repeated and tonight MIR.
Barnes of New York" will be given.
At Piney Ridge.
The title, "At Piney Ridge" suggests
military play and in this respect it
is both true and misleading at the
same time. The play is not a war
drama in the ordinary sense. it deals
with the rebellion in a reminiscent
fashion, in that it portrays some OF
the dire results and cruelties Of war,
and appeals also to the highest mo.
tives Of patriotism. but in it's most
effective side it is a play Of peace, a
story of the fireside.
1t is free from rant and cheap heroics
and tells it's plain simple story in
plain, yet poetic fashion; poetic be-
cause it is plain and plainly told
Without flourish, Mr.. Higgins has
given us in this play a drama, the
rush of whose events knows no stop
from the first to the final fall of the
curtain. Without hurry or il-consid-
cred scenes. for all the details of the
play are vital to the main thread OF
the plot, it absorhs the attention from
the beginning and unfolds it to the
end. This attraction will be seen at
the Lyceum tonight.
