The Tivoli has spread itself upon the production. It is not wonderful in view of its long run of last year that the first night’s performance should go smoothly as it did last night, but it is more adequately cast, the settings are better and it is more fitly and prettily costumed. The unlim- ited resources of the Eddy-street house in the comedy line are the most remark- able feature of the show. There are three o- Ferris Hartman, a Wheelan, a Webb and now a Cunningham, which makes six comedian powers to draw upon. Hart- man is undoubtedly one of the drollest things that ever happened. Genuinely witty, richly not to say rankly humorous, a comic Johnny-on-the-spot for the hu- mors of the passing moment, with a beau- tiful dash of the unexpected in everything he does, Hartman is an invaluable figure in the Tivoll forces. But he needs prun- ing. It is even possible to get too much of a good thing. Though a baker’s stock may be better than half a loaf, we should value it more in sections than served whole under the solitary quail that forms our midday meal during the season. At the end of the first act of ‘““The Idol's Eye,” for example, is a really charming chorus, unaccompanied, and very well given, and the effect on its repetition was wnolly marred even to Hartman’'s warm- est admirers by an entirely superfluous bit of fooling on his part with ‘“‘Hoot Mon" Wheelan s an accomplice. But his work was good, as always, last night, but it does seem a pity at intervals that he was not born twins. “Hoot Mon” Wheelan is in fine fettle. As the Scotch old man of the sea he has a make-up and opportunities that he uses for all they are worth. Edward Webb is rather lost in the minor rt of James McSnuffy, and the Don Pablo Tabasco is in the very capable hands of Arthur Cun- ningham. " Mr. Cunningham is a decided acquisition. He has a full, smooth bary- tone voice, which he uses well, a good stage presence, and he avails himself of all the limited dramatic opportunities of his part. The feminine interest in the opera is somewhat slight. Maud Williams as Mara- quita has some pretty songs, Annie Myers as Damayanti is well cast and Bernice Holmes is her usual 1y self as chief.priestess. The orchestra does very ‘work un- der Mr. Steindorff’s on, and some of the chorus work gives evidence of care- ful and intelligent rehearsal. The dances are not quite up to pitch. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Grand Opera-House. Barring the failure of the scene-shifters to “act” in concert the produztion of “Cn- gerella” at the Grand Opera-house iast night was a success. It ig truly, as the programme announces, a _‘“stupendous spectacular production” and worthy of liberal patronage during its run. Blanche Warren, che Cinderella of the play, possesses considerable talent and a sufi\citem hamnunt of ‘zood‘ looks to ::otlsh pensate the- ce, cleverl Frederick Hartiey, for his infatuation. Emmet Shackeiford as Pedro earned plenty of applause and with Maria Car- rington and Celine Archer furnished the audience many opportunities for hearty laughter.
