Combines the Spectacular aad Good
Music.

The legendary romance O the Martz
mountain, entitled "The Black Crook"
produced at the Avenue theatre last
night, was witnessed by a large house.
This old piece, AS rewritten and staged
anew by w.. H. Lytell, combines the
spectacular and music very much
as did the America, only, of course, on
lesser scale. The costuming was not
different from operate comedies in
general, but there is more drill exhibit
tions than almost any other production
attemps. The stage embellishments
and electrical effects reach the climax
of art in that line so far developed at
the present day.
Two carloads of scenery are employ
ed in the grand spectacular and extrava-

Miss Katherine Burn, who sings the
Prima donna role, possesses a soprano
voice of rare purity and sweetness.

comedy was entrusted to Joseph Kearn-
sey and Harry Bond, two versatile
commedians, who are famed in their
profession, while the Thorndike, tenor
Sneman, the baritone and Santre. the
