AMUSEMENTS.

BAKKR'S OPERA COMPANY.

Audiences large and enthusiastic, and conspicuous lor the familiarity of the faces present, are the rule not the exception at Naylor's this week. This proves two very significant facts, to-wit: that comic opera rests very securely in the affections of the people hereabouts, and that Mr. Baker's company is really a deserving and capital one rather than a "cheap" one.

But while every opera prOdu»d during this week has met with the warmest appreciation and the most gracious consideration, the interpretation of the "Black Hussar" Thursday evening deserves to be specially mentioned for its excellence, tunefulness and jollity. Miss Johnson acquitted herself beautifully. Miss Murphy also added to her laurels. She looked very sweet and pretty, and helped to confirm the favorable impression she has made this week. Mr. Armaud aa Herbert filled all the requisites of the leading part to perfection. The comedy parts were well taken by Messrs. Wold and Bigelow, who, in addition to their fun creating abilities, sing with finish and sweetness. Aa Hackenback, Mr. Wolff kept the house In a constant roar. Mr. Bigelow's fun was quite refined and irresistible. His love scene with Barbara was a delicious bit of comedy that convulsed the audience.

The company Is a meritorious one throughout, strong and well balanced, and we congratulate Mr. Baker on the success he has met with here and elsewhere, deserving the confidence of the public he has received in a most generous manner. The engagement cloeee tonight when the pretty opera, "Chime* of Normandy," will be given. Hobt. Macaire will be given at the matinee this afternoon.

TERRB HAUTE SATURDAY EYEING MAIL

Naylor's opera house Thursday evening, May 11, for an engagement limited to one night. The performance needs no comment at our hands, as it has long ago become a classic among American theatricals, but we look upon each appearance of Mr. Jefferson with the same fond expectation that we count the days and weeks for the appearance of Santa Claus during the happy days of out nursery life. Joseph Jefferson and Rip Van Winkle have long ago gone to memory's note book as long as newspaper times, and one rarely thinks of one without seeing the familiar face of the other. Time seems to turn backward in his flight with this gentle prince of American comedians. Mr. Jefferson will be supported, as Is usual with him, by a first-class company of picked artists. The sale of seats begins Monday morning.

In view of the coming engagement of Joseph Jefferson at Naylor's next week, it would not be amiss to state to the theater goers that next season Mr. Jefferson will have a combination on the road which, in its make-up, will be the grandest ever attempted. It will contain Mr. Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. Florence, Mrs. John Drew, Couldock, and a number of others. Their tour will necessarily be limited to very few cities, and Manager Naylor is making every possible eflbrt to secure the big combination for next season. Mr. Jefferson has promised him a date if the business on Thursday evening will justify his coming. Mr. Jefferson, it seems, has not done the large business here that he has done elsewhere and naturally he is afraid to bring the big combination here. We can say to Mr. Jefferson, however, that he need have no fear of not doing a big business, The capacity of the theater will not be large enough to hold the people who would want to attend, and we believe and sincerely trust that the opera house will be crowded on next Thursday evening to see an impersonation that is familiar to nearly everybody in Amerioa.

GILMORE'S JUBILEE FESTIVAL. The sale of seats for the Monday eveuing entertainment has been very good nearly all the seats on 'the lower floor and in the family circle having been taken. More than 100 persons are com ing from Paris and 30 or more from Brazil, and companies are being organ ized in Bockville and Sullivan, and it is expected 50 or more will come from each town. The sale of seats for the matinee has not been so large, but the programme is thought by many to be better than the evening, as Whitney aud Mme. Stone-Barton take part Ithen and do not appear in the evening. The matinee will be in all respects as good as the evening entertainment*

Chicago News: Miss Louise Eissing, a prima donna whose heart-breaking powers were demonstrated throughout the western jay circuit, gave marriage a week's trial and found it a beastly failure. Louise is pretty, and will soon catch on again. She is now singing with Alexander Spenoer's opera company at Buffalo. Spencer is to bring out a new comic opera of his own this summer.

Mrs. Potter will emulate the euchreist and "play it alone" next season. She has decided to do her own managing. Perhaps a woman can manage a woman. It is an axiom that a man cannot*. :i"v

Barry and Fay will travel next season under the new management of William Dunleavie in anew comedy called "Little Lord MuElroy."
