The colored part of the audience alternated howls of delight with guffaws of laughter while white people present were liberal in their applause. The offering was a musical comedy entitled Southern Enchant- ment" and was in many respects the best show of its kind that has appeared here this season. The singing was a rare treat especially a cornfield rendi- ton of "Suwanee River" Tom McIn- tosh as G. Washington Bullion an Amer ican millionaire, was superior to any com edian who has appeared here in musical comedy this season. He was not forced to depend on buffoonery in order to bring a laugh, but originated some good jokes that sounded new. Mcintosh elicited much laughter by his comicalities
 Special praise is due the singers. The production was well staged, with hand some costumes and appropriate scenery. The electrical effects were good.
