 Barlow's minstrel show, arrayed It's talent in some clever knots last night at the Montgomery Theatre and drew some laughs from Q house of moderate size only The house would no doubt have been larger but for the rag time mHlc mth tSs asd sho% oStsias of the there were some of Montgomery's

 McAnallon and Minch made up Nsne Quartette that seemed to please the audience as much as if not more than
 tied Montgomery attached to show

Three of the. trunks. were not left in Montgomery by q mistake ana For the marines and under the direc- tion of Mir. Req some worthy amends were made for the mishap.
 The musical selections of the tenors and the basso, Frank Minch, were very good and the songs and jokes of the

 MSnsa%Gfrdd MSTt anG dd G m with hs srsasr xssd rity than any other man who has pre- ceded him on the local boards. His

 endeavors are usually so ,shorn of LD'
 spectacular that they win little ap- | plause but there was a great batter last night after nearly every act of Lively.
 1t is hard to tell what the mlnstreis | musical stunts. To dance buck wing plano to blow the cornet and also ae- company on the piano, to chisel up into any sort of time that song. Under the Shade of the Apple Tree" etc, all bV paving the ivory and rarely dropping note, seems to be the accomplishment
 of but one man. This is Mir Tinney.
 He got more credit from the house as
 a unit than any other performer.

 MT. Ryan at BiiOu.
 Few more pleasing performances
 have been seen on the stage of the
 pretty little BiJou Theatre than the
 RrEaef'RS pRa@iei Ryan D' and his Ss esceiient co@ pany who will produce romantic and
 classic plays throughout this week at
 the Bibb Street playhouse; ,,,.os,, na with due care. It may also truthfully be said that there have been few more convincing Don Caesars than Mir. Ryan, as he appeared last night, on any stage.
 He presented his own version of the always pleasing story of the adventur- ous spendthrift of Madrid. The version diners but little from the versions pre- sented by Haekett and Southern. It combines the good ideas of both. The story of Don Caesar is too familiar to the theatre going public for any dls- sertation of its merits. sufice 1t to say that there are few better parts for good actor and few worse parts for bad actor than the Spanish count. It vas a god part for MT. Ryan.
 This young man Is making his first Southern trip. He came unheralded. He wishes to see and conquer. If he continues his good work of last night throughout the week, he will do both. MT. Ryan has the nerve-that's the proper word--to come into a city with a repertoire such as "A Royal Lover"
 An Enemy to the King" Richard III.' and "Othello" and play at popular prices. Sn these days of musical comedy and elap~trap melodrama, any one but a man who has confidence in
 his abilities and in the abilities of the people who are with him, would shud-
 der at the thought of the. tack of mak- ing good under such conditions,
 Mir. Ryan has that confidence and 1t is not misplaced. His Don Caesar is finished. He is the Spanish adventurer on the stage. nothing more, nothing less. He does not commit the aggre- grious error as many Don Caesars have committed of making the witty ad- venturer a buffoon. He Keeps the pig heart of the swashbuckler always m the
