Latest.

The @Sweet Kitty BeIlairsv company,
which played at the opera house ,ast
evening, has not been oyerestimated in
any way, and the production which was
given last evening was one Of the finest
ever seen in this city. The play, which
hinges around the fact that a woman
placed herself in false position for the
sake of the man she loves, is not by any
means an original idea, but the way
that Beascn has brought the piece TO
the usual happy ending shows TINT artis-

The work Of Miss Fanchon Campbell as
'Kitty Bellairsn was of the highest order
from m artistic standpoint, delineating
In charming manner the coquettish
ways OF pretty Irish widow in the
high society Of England late In the eigh-
teenth century The surrounding char
acters Of the play were particularly well
taken, especially noteworthy being the
work of Harold Mead as Col. Villiers,
who has an extremely good idea Of the
way in which an officer and gentleman
should act when he reaches that stage at
which an ordinary man would be called
drunk. Hugh Wallace as Lord Verney,
lieutenant, made an excellent lover, who
Developed from extreme bashfulness to
the greatest boldness, while Jack Web
ster as Sir Jasper Standish, Miss Bertha
Carlyle as Lady Bah Flyte and Hodgson
Taylor as Captain Taylor were apprcci-
ated in their parts The costumes and
special scenery were Of the finest ever
seen in this city, there being not sim
gle apparent deviation from the exact
reproduction Of the uniforms and dresses
of the time
