AMUSEMEN1S. A THtXHDEKBOLT.

That clever local author and composer, JohD R. Hager, will have one of his plays produced at the opera house Monday night, by an excellent company thatincludes our own Miss Flora Seller and Miss Sylvia Hall, and Alexander Leonard. It ia entitled "A Thunderbolt," and deals with the trials and tribulations of a World's Fair hotel keeper. The second act takes place oh a yacht, which is struck by a thunderbolt, but no one is injured, and all turn up merrily in the third act. The comedy ia full of ludicroua situations and the music is entirely original, having been written expressly for this play. The mechanical effects are patented by Mr. Leonard, and will be seen here

SCHILLING'S MINSTRELS. ^5

Secure seats at Button's.

THK ENSIGN.

The presentation of "The Ensign" it Naylor's on next Wednesday evening, will be an event of considerable importance in looal theatriqal circles. Dealing as it does with naval history, the story will have an interest for many who were more or less conspicuous figures in the stirring events of the war. It is not all serious, however. There is comedy, and plenty of it, and there is a patriotic fever which when limited to reasonable bounds is always enjoyable. Much is also promised in the way of scenery. Indeed we are told that we shall have as true a picture of a man o' war as it is possible to place upon the stage. "The Ensign" is not, however, a war play, although it deals with an occurrence of the civil war which attracted the attention of every civilized nation in the world—the unauthorized capture of the Confederate Commissioners to Europe, Mason and Slidell, on the high seas, by Capt. Wilkes. Necessarily a play of this kind must be expensively aud elaborately mounted, to convey to the audience the proper impression. The company has been carefully selected and numbers twenty-one people, and they carry all their own sMnery and special stage appointments. Seats jja on sale Monday morning at Button's

LEWIS MORRISON—"PAUST." On Thursday evening, Lewis Morrison and his powerful dramajblc company will produoe at Naylor's, his elaborate scenic and dramatic version of "Faust." The piece will be mounted with magnificent scenio embellishment*. Startling scenes, that makes the poor miserable mortal feel his weakness, when compared to the power of the immortal come in quick succession. I]jjr this reason Mr. Morrison's "Faust" is a worthy moral lesson as well as a gorgeous production of dramatio and scenic art. In obtaining the fine soenic effects the power of eleotrlcity is taken adyantage of. There are many electric surprise* and mechanical novelties, making it as a whole one of the most elaborate and brilliant productions ever witnessed. Mr. Morrison's physique is perfectly fitted to "Mephisto." His face is handsome or fiendish a* he chooses to make it. His "Mephisto" may be said to be a revelation. It certainly is wonderful. The production here will be complete in every detail. Seats go on sale Tuesday morning. r"
