Show TlHMitre. A large and fashionable audience assembled lust night to witness the performance of Mr. Johnson's drama. "(Juits."' .Tlie cast was the strongest that has appeared on the boards here for a long time, including Miss Ad a ins, Mrs. aid run, Mrs, Croshie, Mrs. Howring, .Messrs. WaKIr.ni, Vinson, Vin-son, Cogswell, Lindsay, Dunne, Lorraine. Lor-raine. Wilton and others. .The play is excellently written, very sensational, sensation-al, sparkling with points, well stocked with "business," and .with nothing extraneous in dialogue or ' action; while it was admirably played. The acting of Mr. Dunne, as "one or the boys," took the house when he had the tt:ige, ami the Ebonezer Long- Injwof Mr. Vinson was natural yet miainth- done. At the fall ofthe curtain cur-tain Mr. Wa Ul ron and Mr. Vinson were called for and appeared, when the latter acknowledged the compliment com-pliment in a neat little speech. The leading character Bob Thorn was in the hands of Mr. Waldron, but it is not of a style to take with an u- I dienee as the two before mentioned' do. The ladies played with discrimination, discrimi-nation, and the entire performance was satisfactory. After the drama Mr. Waldron gave "Sheridan's Ride," with ti thrilling stanzas; followed by Mr. Croshie in ft very amusing parody entitled ''Schneider's Kide," which was greeted greet-ed with mil's of laughter. The farce of "A Quiet Family" j concluded. Messrs. Crosbic, Cogswell, Dunne, Paul. Mrs. Waldron. Miss I Adams, Mrs. Croshie, and Miss Davis in the cast. Mr. Crosbic proved him- j self a superior comedian, and kept; the mirth alive. ' The same excellent programme ! will be repeated to-night. |
