Richelleu.

The Opera House was crowded
last night when the curtain went up
and Lewis Morrison, the great actor,
appeared for the first time before a
Hooolulu audience.
The theatre goers of our city have
always been accused OF being cold
and critical, but Lewis Morrison will
be able to give a denial because he
was bathed in the hot enthusiasm OF
an audience which appreciated his
great talent and, by continuous APP
plause and curtain calls made him
understand that the criticism was
oil his way.
He was very ably sustained by
Miss Roberts who played Julie to
perfection. She is the most charm
ing actress Honolulu ever has seen
and we have even had the great
"Sarah" on the boards of the sold'
Opera House. - ~
The other parts OF play were OF
minor interest of course, but render
ed as we'll as could be expected.
Tomorrow night "The Merchant
OF Venice" with Morrison as Shy
lock and Miss Roberts as Portia will
be the bill. And by special request,
Miss Roberts will repeat "Camille"
at q matinee on Saturday. The last
regular play of the season will be
given on Saturday night. 1t is ex-
pacted to be the great success OF the
series, "Faust."
