This company is thoroughly, equipped with scenery, electrical apparatus, etc. The playing was good throughout. Hubsrt I/ibadie, as Miphis to, and Mary Von Tromp as Marguerite, handled their lines in a professional manner. The scenic effect was by far the grandest ever seen in thii city. The electric display was almost c?j nil to 1'aine's lire works. The electric sp irks that sputtered and ll ished all ovyr the stage, manipulated by Mephisto himself, in the most demonical manner, which caused a shudder to pass over the audience when showing tho attractiveness of his abode, was something awful to behold. The company cei tainly deserved a very much larger audience. The effects; of the red, white or blue lights used in the different acts were beautiful to behold. Should Mr. I/ibadie make a return we think he would meet a much larger audience. " Charge it to I4aGrippc.
