THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND 8HOW PEOPLE.

Tbe sale of seats Indicates that the Opera House wili be filled to-night to witness that funniest of all funny creations—"Hobbiee," as interpreted by the Weathersby Froliques, now on their return trip from California. Those who laughed over it when here last fall need not be told what it is, but for ethers we print the following from tbe St. Louis Globe Democrat "Hobbies," the "unique composition," which the Eliza Weathersby's Froliques brought out at this theater yesterday evening, is an indescribable sort of performance, full of fnn and frolic. The

tion arising from tbe quality of character with which each becomes endowod, being laughable in the extreme. Tbe soul of the performance is Mr. N. C. Goodwin, Jr., who as Prof. Pygmalion, the leading frolicker, creates any amount of tun with bis drolleries. He is a good comedian the part of Pygmalion, as played by Mr. Goodwin, would be acceptable to tbe most refined audience. The other players acquitted themselves well, and the audience seemed highly pleased with the entertainment pro vided, especially with the vocal part of it, which was very fair indeed. Perhaps the best piece of acting displayed by the female performers was ttjat displayed by Miss Jennie Weathersby, as Miss Eupbemia Bang, the old maid who is in love with Prof. Pygmalion, longs to appear in his ballet, and is intensely indignant when be deniee her tbe boeu of appearing in curtailed skirts.

Last fall the Warde fc Barrymore Diplomacy combination divided—one party going south with Mr. Barrymore, meeting with the terrible tragedy recently at Marshal), Texas. The other party with F. B. Warde in tbe lead and, including Harry Dalton, Harry Laoey G. C. Jordon, Miss Annie Edmondson, Adelaide Cherie and Clara Jamison to represent the lbading characters have been playing "Diplomacy" with marked success in the north. This party will play it here on Monday and Tuesday evenings next The Montreal Herald says:

The more one sees this master-

iece

of Sardou's, tbe more fascinating becomes. There is not a situation in it, not an incideut, that does not point a moral. The mainspring is love, then disappointment, next revenge, ending in disgrace, all faithfully and naturally portrayed, and are each a sermon that migbt well be taken to heart by the fair sex. The chief beauty in the play is the loveable disposition of Dora, who despite her surroundings, retains her

fives,

mrlty and love of truth, scorns base resents base suspicions, is swayed alternately by love and angei as she discovers herself tbe victim of circumstance*, and who, finally, gives a fine exhibition of charity without a friend. A very rare characteristic in the female sex when once injured. This character is depicted in a manner by Edmondson that cannot be excelled. Mr. Warde's personation of the well-bred, cool, oourageous, and determined English diplomat, a man of the world, is perhaps the finest character acting that has been seen at the Aoademy for along time. He cannot be improved upon. The Company are fast becoming favorites with our citizens, and one bears on all nothing but praise of their fine acting and corteous demeanor. We are glad to announce that at the pressing and urgent solicitations of a great many of our leading citizens the Company have been induced to remain over until Tuesday evening next, when the last per tormance will be given. The Warde fc Barrymore Company will always be re uiembered in Montreal with a great deal of pleasure, and we can safely say that whenever they revisit us that crowded audieuce will greet them.

The amusement season is about closed and in looking over the list of the past season's attractions we are Impressed with tbe fact that our people are peculiarly favored in having all the first class amusements that travel. There are several reasons for this, the principal of which are that we are on the grand highway from east to west, have one of the best opera houses in the country, and it is admirably managed by Mr. C. EL Hosford, who has made special efforts the past season to get the very best attractions, and to so distribute them through the season as to not make too great a tax of time and money atone time.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING- MA

Forepaugb's circus will be here the 2d of May instead of the 30th of April as heretofore announced

The "Diplomacy" party will give a matinee performance oo Monday afternoon for the convenience of ladies aod ohildren.

A nioe young lady went to hear Modjsska tbe other night, because her Bozenta her an invitation.—New Orleans Picayune.

Very few heroes are'so awfully handsome off the stage.—New York Herald. Maud Granger does not fall in a way that pleases a Chicago critic, but "goes down too much after the manner of a trick pony in a circus—dropping gently to the knees, and tbeu rolling over in a very mild fashion."

The San Francisoo passion play drew large audiences during two weeks, snd was then withdrawn. 8everal of the beet actors In the cast had other engagements, and are said to have been glad of an excuse to get out of tbe affair. This was especially true of James O'Nell, who personated Jesus Christ. Altogether bis performance was careful and dignified, he got no praise from any quarter for bis presumptious undertaking, and had to bear the brunt of the religious opposition that the play ex cited. Mi*s Rose Wood threw up the part or the Virgin Mary after acting it several nights, giving as a reason that her conscience would no longer permit her to do what she regarded as sacrUig ious.

The appearanoe of Kate Claxton in Sedalia on the 7tb Inst, did not start a fire, but made a lively time of another sort in the hotel at which she stopped. She and the lsdies of her company bad adjoining rooms, and after the performance they passed to and fro in tha corridor from room to room, laughing and chatting and having a merry time. A man from Warrensburg had a room on the opposite side

tbe

corrldoT,

and

he exhibited a desire to mingle with them In their Sittings to and fro. He introduced himself as a "gentleman," and finally offered Kate Claxton abroad insult. She thereupon sent for her husband, Mr. Chap. A. Stevenson, whose resentment was prompt and to the point. The man from Warrensburg stood no chance at all, and was unmercifully mauled by the man of mimic fights. When Stevenson was through with him he was bounced down stairs and out of the hotel, an 1 there was hardly enough left of him to return to Warrensburg next morning.

THE divorce case of Hosa Kendall Stunkard vs. Denna J. Stunkard was taken up at Brazil on Wednesday- T. W. Harper appearing for the plaintiff and Allen, M*ck & Davis for the defendant. As the plaintifl cared only for a severance of tbe marital tie, an agreement was made by which tbe divorce was decreed and she was allowed to resume her maiden name. Her home is uow with her parents in this city. ,,.

WE have just received of T. B. Peterson «Sc Bros., Philadelphia, T. S. Arthur's new book, entitled, "The Latimer Family or, the Bottle and the Pledge."

The paper edition is sold at the low price of fifty cents. Mr. Cor win S. Ball is canvassing the city, and all desiring the book will please give him their orders.

THIS is the season for setting out shade trees and advertisements

THB Mail, besides its immense country circulation, goes into tbe families of hundreds of city mechanics who imagine themselves too poor to take a daily paper. Advertisers, with a little thought and observation, will be convinced that The Mail is read by bun dreds in this community who see no other city paper.
