The general excellence as q melodrama
OF The Helmet of Navarro which was
used 10 introduce Charles Dalton as a
star TO local patrons of the theatre at the

The entertainment afforded by Miner q
Vans Bohemian BuTlesquers. who come
to the Lyceum Theatre this week, com
mencing tomorrow matinee, has met with
much praise. The company is said to have
been carefully selected without regard to
expense, and while beauty of face and
form has not been eliminated from the fe-
male ranks of the company, every artist
has a reputation; of the comedians the
same can be said. That this effort. for
which the managers deserve considerable
credit. is appreciated is shown by the
good-sized houses which have greeted the
company wherever it has appeared.
Among the artists are such well-known
favorites as BiXley and Hughes. in a
very unique act; Maddox and Wayne as
the actor and messenger boy; Barr and
Evans, in travesty sketch; Riley and
Hughes, blackface comedians and
dancers; St John and Nicolai a clever
sister team, and Edna Buckley. the sweet
singer of popular songs.

people go to the theatre to hear what he

Monsieur Jacques Inaudi who is to
appear at Chase's Theatre this week. is
known to the medical profession as the
man with two bi aims. He gave evidence
in youth of the phenomenal powers which
he afterward demonstrated as a man.
AS a child he was an ignorant peasant,
accustomed to blows and poverty, the
wretchedness Of the Old World poor, yet he
would bewilder his playfellows when six
years old by telling the number of marbles
that he might win from then in a year
If he went on winning at the rate he was
doing lust then. He would count the
number of pebbles in the street, the
houses as he passed. the sheep he tended,
the trees he saw, and combine and recon-
bine the numbers for the pure joy of eXer-
cising a miraculous mind, whose capacity
the Astronomical Society of France and
many other scientific bodies all over Eu
rope have tested.
When lnaudi was eight years old ht
supported himself by wandering from
place to place with little dormouse

dollars u day by telling people how many
seconds they had lived. All he needed was
to know a persons age, and instautant-

His characterization was one of the most
conspicuous features of the play. He is a
clever comedian, whose refined methods
make his work wholly delightful, and he
reads his few sentimental scenes with
much effect Mr. Brown has a record that
dates from the days of the stock star
system.

the age of worldly gain has taken the
place of the day of art. Nowadays the
public is satisfied to see a good actor in
a good part without any concern regard

himself usually gives too little attention
