Freeman Partee, who murdered John

fM. B. Leavitt's spectacular and panto-
mimio production, “Spider and Fly,”
was rendered to a largo audience at the
opera house last night.
In the way of scenic effeots and grace
ful stage posing the pieco Is not to be
excelled.
The company is a very large one, too
large, Indeed, for the atago, and each
and every one la thoroughly drilled in
his or her particular business.
Miss Royce, ns “Ocenin,” queen of the
mermaids, was charming, as were her
body guard of pretty and fantastically
garbed sea-nymphs.
Miss Georgie Putnam,tas “Zamiel"|the
evil spirit, was bewildering in her fiery
beauty.
But the catch of the evening were the
cute little|twins “Spider” and “Fly,"
tendants upon “Zamicl.” These charac
ters wore rendered by Marcia and Lib-
bio Putnam, and in their several vocal
and terpslcborean duets, were vocifer
ously encored.
Atroy, the juggler, deserves a rank
among the best in Ills professioo, and
his business In the second act was all
that could be desired.

“the Fast Mall.”
There are seven railroad melodramas
on the road this season, but “Tlie Fast
Mail,” the original, stands pre-eminent
above them all. On Wednesday evening
next tlie doors of the opera houso will
swing wide open f ir the great scenic
production of Lincoln J. Carter’s “Fast
Mail.” The railway lias otten been used
by the dramatist, hut never before to
such an extent as in Carter’s famous
play, “Tlie Fast Mail.” A freight train '
with fourteen cars, a lighted caboose | Last April we accepted the agency of the
and a full-sized locomotive, with engi
neer and fireman, crosses the stage in
tiio most realistic and noisy manner,
while later in the play a great Mississip
pi steamboat, wftli bells and whistles
and engines in full operation, moves in
and explodes witli terrific force. A
great scene is also given of Niagara in
real rumbling water. The company is a
most efficient one, and there is a great
deal of fun to go with tlio sensational
effects. A special car for the scenery is
used, and every detail la carefully looked
to in the stage production of the play.

A good criterion by which to judge
tho merits of an entertainment of this

up, and is very costly in sizo and style.
