"Superba" at the Park.

The recurring promises for ''Hanlons'
Ever New 'Superba' " have been fulfilled
again this year. Very little of the old pro-
duction remains. Nearly every scene has
been enlarged and elaborated. The new
show was presented at the Park Theater
last night and the engagement is for per-
formances every afternoon and evening the
rest of the week. The first act shows the
crater of volcano throwing out its flame
and lava. The second scene of the same
act shows a view of the Paris Exposition
and the Eiffel tower. which is followed by
n scene representing the Buffalo Exposi-
ton and the electric tower and it's roaring
cascades. The rest OF the scenes of this
including the Midway Here is introduced
the automatic orchestra. During this act
"A corps OF singers and dancers is intro
duced. The opening scene Of the second
act, the enchanted ROOM is a wonderful
piece of mechanism. THE Jockeys dream"
of the same act shows Pierrots parlor
transformed into a stable. where are kept
two race horses. The mechanical construc-
ton or the two horses is shown TO advan-
taCc. The cowboys and Pierrot attempt to
ride them and produce q great amount of
laughter In the audience.
The scenic artists did their master work
on the third act. The Fountain OF Dol
phins.' designed by #. V Smvth and
painted by MeSsrs. Gates and Morange is
a beautiful piece of stagecraft. During the
last act are introduced Prof. Reeds trouDe
of performing bulldogs and the SEYMOUR
acrObatS and athletes. The dogs perform
some of the most difficult tricks ever at
tempted by CANNES. The work of Pierrot.
which is played by Robert Rossaire. is
done with nimbleness and precision. Adra

"Grass widows" mt the Empire.

An unfortunate occurrence marred the
opening performance of the jolly Grass
Widows at the Empire Theater yesterday
afternoon. Too large an outburst of en-
thusiasm from the habitues of the upper
part of the house was responsible for the
trouble. The show had proceeded easily
until the close of the olio. when the
Whangdoodle Quartet composed of colored
men, was leaving the stage. The act is re-
plete with nonsense and the quartet occu-
pied the stage for twenty minutes to the
delight of the gallery. The colored men be-
came tired and the stage manager went on
with the closing burlesQue. The din raised
by the crowd in the gallery and balcony
drowned any attempt at singing or recitng
of lines. The special policemen started 10
others crowded about and made II appear
that if the man was further molested
trouble would be caused.
The performance this season was i'm no
way similar to that last year given by the
same company. An entire change has been
made in the SCENERY and music. The OPEN
ing burlesque is entitled One Night and
Gone" In it are introduced the Old-time
Hebrew impersonatOr the English lord and
the two tramps with matchmaking
schemes However. these aged adiuncts TO

and produce a great amount of fun. The
