to be his greatest success, the three-act
comedy, OLIVER Goldsmith" the most re-
cent production Of the fertile pen of Au-
gustus Thomas, author of Alabama and
Arizona" 1t is a dramatization of the
life of Oliver Goldsmith, and shows him
at the heights of his prosperity and in
the deepest poverty, the successful man
of letters rich and famous, courted, fiat
tered and feted, and the penniless author
in the black garnet, bounded and driven
to the wall by reinorseless creditors.
Mr.. Robson, of course, appears in the
title roll, and it is said to be the great

"a Day and a Night is just jolly
laugh from beginning to end. 1t is one
long stretch of merriment with not q
dUil moment in any one of the three acts
II is welf termed "TIoyt's i1appiest hit"
The piece camc to st. Paul year age
and the company then presenting it
made it most popular with theater-goars.
This year it is presented under the di-
rection of W. II. Currie, who also Oils
the part of Rontt Booker. aid who has
surrounded himself with very clever
lot of people who cannot but increase
the popularity gained a year ago.
Tom Martin, as Marble Hart is ex-
ceptionally clever as the green country
man from Jersey, and he is not failing in
his in2personation of the New York sport
after he goes through with his Lightning
change act. His recital Of The I.anguid
Man was good and MS songs We're not
bad although they might have been bet-
ter.
Madge Lawrence made a hit AS Ada
Barr. She carried the part We'll and
sang in good voice.
w. F. Ryan's Interpretation of the part
of Chips could not be Improved on, and
VIII Fl. Halter, as Lyon Fart, was also
very good. His songs of the sea were
well received and were more than wortA
the applause he gained with them. Aside
from the specialties there is but little
that the other members of the cast have
to do, but Mr.. Currie has not made the
mistake Of iilling IN ard, as a result, the
entire cast is wei balanced
Kittie Gilmore and Charlotte Stolhe, in
the parts of Rhoda Race and Laura
Mann, give a number of speciaities, in
Guiding several new songs that are I'M
usually good. These two people are very
good in every way and contribute not a
little to the life of the piece.
AS Annette Winner, Miss Cara Isham is
a real winner. She has a very sweet
and pretty voice which she knows how
to use and which she does use to adTant-
age. Her singing of several of the best
known Scotch ballads won her many re-
calls last night.
"a Day and Night drew a crowded
house at the Grand last night and will
he the attraction for the balance Of the
week with the usual afternoon per
fnrmances.

THE STAR.
The Broadway Burlesquers opened their
! N.,1rf 30 Ny,rr ct 10, ~
last night
The show is not up to the good stand
ard that the Star has already establish
ed for itself, there appearing to be lack
of good specialties. Harry LeClair did
some good work in his representations
of prominent actresses. His costuming
and acting were very acceptable, yet on
the whole, not of very entertaining ma
ture
The chorus has more pretty girls than
the average, who are very artistically
costumed.
The performance opens with prettily
staged travesty entitled 1.-The Birds in
the Gilded Cage" There was no plot in
particular, but some good singing inter
spersed with a few good turns.
Loney Haskell entertained the audience
with some Irish and Hebrew dialect that
was funny.
Haskell was followed by Louise Cary
er and Genie Pollard, in a song and
dance act that was mediocre. Hanley
and Jarvis introduced some new jokes,
ana sang few parodies that were good.
Daley and Hilton came on with a com
edy creation entitled They're Off, and
were followed by Miss Vera Harte, who
sang the Holy City and several other
solos in a pleasing manner
The performance closed with burlesaue
on Woman and Wine,'' entitled 'sWhin
Woman faa
was a quarrel between two jealous wo-
men, one of the parts being taken by
Harry LeClair, who was amusing The
attendance last evening was record
breaker standing room only being on
sale al o'clock.
