One of w. b. Watson's shows, the ORR
entail Bu~rlesquers. came yesterday to the
Empire Theater for the week. Charles
Johson assumes the characters made for
Watson, who is a comedian of ability, and,
while he fills the place assigned TO him in
the book. his work is crude. Several OF
the imposing women of Watson's original
company have prominent parts i'm the cho
rus. The other members of the chorus,
with a few exceptions, perform their paris
automaton-like.
In the opening burletta, "Krausemeyer I'm

without mirth. Several times johnson and
Jeanette Dupre forget themselves and at
tempt to inject a 'risque" remark, but
their efforts result only in Vulgarity. The

made by the chorus. The singing is not

Miss Kitty Clements heads the olio with
a clever imitation of the Bowery girl. Dave

contortion and balancing feats. The Miss

The first appearance of Robert Mantell
in this city at a popular-priced theater oc-
Cured last night. with his presentation of
Hamlet at the Park Theater. Either Mr..
MantelTs reputation as an actor of ability
or the fact of the low prices filled the the
alter. 1t was an audience new to the Park
and to be seen usually at the higher-priced
houses. Its approval of Mr.. MantelTs
acting last night was hearty and sincere.
In Hamlet Mr.. Mantell rises to a high
eloquence. He fascinates an audience as
the melancholy prince. In the first act,
when he was told of the apparition of his
father by Horatio. Mr.. Mantell thrilled
last nights audience. Miss Marie Booth
Russell, as Ophelia, acts the l~istless love
sick girl admirably. Robert G.. Stowe, who
takes the part OF the ghost of Hamlet's
father. is an actor of no mean ability. He
recites powerfully the lines wherein he
tells his son of the manner in which his
brother usurped the throne of Denmark
and of the ruin awaiting the throne. Miss
Minnie Monk. who interprets the part of
Queen Gertrude, is another strong member
of the company. ROsencrantz and GuildeR-
stern were played by Messrs. McDowie and
Heron, young men who seemed not yet To
have developed their powers of enunciation.
The scenery used was complete and the
performance was creditable to Mr.. Man
tell and his company.

Vaudeville Bill at the Grand.

adam the Second" a sketch written by
VIII M. Cressy and acted by VIII C.. Mat
thews and Nellie Tarris at the Grand Opera
House this week, is of unusual originality.
The scene is a lone castle on a peak of
the Andes, in South America. Therein is a
young woman that has never seen a human
being with the exception of her mother,
who once had a strange animal called a
husband, and her old nurse. An American
hobo. taking a balloon trip. lights on this
isolated spot. He tells the young woman
a great deal about the world that she
never dreamed of. He teaches her how to
kiss, and she demands TO know whether
or not he ever has done that with another
woman. See that" exclaims the tutor;
its born in emf Miss Harris does not
smile, and her way is as much that of an
Adamless Eve as could be imagined. Mr..
Matthews is gOOd-humOred and clever. 1t
is an excellent bit.

Jefferson, also has a good playlet. She
and her companion are art students in one
