Mr. Daly not only sent his full company here, but also put the comedy on the stage with all Picturesqueness which secured for it such a remarkably successful run in New York. As Omimosa San, Miss Nancy McIntosh replaces Dorothy Morton, and she delighted every one by her singing, which is a decided improvement on Miss Morton's work, but her acting is hardly so effective. Miss Virginia Earle, a pronounced favorite here, is heard as Molly, instead of Violet Lloyd, ‘and her daintiness, her pretty voice and graceful dancing last evening made her a greater favorite than ever. She won sev- eral encores for her singing of the “Med- Glesome Parrot” song.

About all that can be demanded fs that such exhibitions shall not sail under false eolors and deceive those who expected something else, and no such attempt is made in “When Londcn Sleeps.” Outside of the last scene in the second act there little that is positively offensive in the play. Indeed, the balance is rather more than usvally entertaining for a play of the kind. There are several really clever per- formers in the cast.

The play itself is of the ultra melodramatic kind, but for the enjoyment of the audience the situa- tions, climaxes and dialogue are hurried through so as to put forward the special- ties of the colored members, the picka- ninny band scoring the best with the au- dience. Mrs Milt Barlow, as the old col- ored aunty, pleased everybody with her natural portrayal of the character, and fcur recalls was the result of her singing and dancing. Robert McWade, jr., and Miss Mabel Florence, as the hero and hero- ine, respectively, acted in a sympathetic imanner and were applauded to the echo at every turn of.the plot of the play whereby the villains weré frustrated. The colored contingent of the company is made up of bright lads, who dance and sing with a pleasurable freedom that is infectious. one meritorious part in particular being the entrance of the old negro deacon from the back of the house and walking down the center aisle singing a refrain to the chorus en the stage. The scenery is elab- orate and realistic, and contributed very materially to the success of the evening.
