Show Theatre. "The Ire Witch," presented pre-sented for the first time on Monday night and to be repeated to-night, is a romantic legendary piece, eaibodyine some of the old Scandinavian ideas and mythological views, worked into a dramatic setting. Te must speak in high terms of the style in which it it got up here, though a -li.-ht hitch ic the working of the machinery on Monday Mon-day B'ght unfortunately marred the finest scene, the grand transformation at the close, which, being the "home of the Sun god" of course is resplendent resplen-dent with beauties. This will go all riirht to-night, though, we c-spcet. The piece abounds with glowing scenes and pretty groupings; and the mechanical effects are very fine. It was produced w.th a full ea-t, and we have r:o hesitation hesita-tion in saying it should enjoy a successful success-ful rUD. The principal characters are "Harold, the Sea Kin?,'' Mr. McKen-zie; McKen-zie; "Magnus Snoro, his II..-nchman," Mr. Margetts; "Gruthloff, Chief of the Hills," Mr. Thome; "Druda. the Ice Witch," Miss Colebmok: "Ulla. beloved of Harold,"Mrs.M.G.C!awson; "Minnie, a sprightly aid, "Mre.A. Claw-son; Claw-son; and"Freyer,the Sun god, "Mrs. M. Bowring; with a ho-t of 'Tee Spirits" Spir-its" all very tangible ones "Pries's of Odin," "Sun Spirits," and other1 auxiliaries.
