GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Mr. Dion Boucic'ault, Miss.lrene Vanbrugh, and their '■excellently-balanced company are assured of a very prosperous season at the Grand Opera House, ' for ;in their very humorous and clever comedy,-"All the King's Horses, they have greatly pleased their:tost two audiences: The' story is .of a great roan, Wilfred Everltt■•'(Mr. Bouclcault),- financial magnate. Who succeeds' by tremendous concentration upon business .matters an .making- a thorough-going failure of his homo lire; thero ho is not- a success/ • -As-the-story opens Everltt rejoices at his'flnaUsuecess^a knighthood, but his wife (Miss. Vanbrugh) and family regard'that climax as merely another straw to tho dreariness of a home .In which .there is no true homo life. Then: the storm breaks, the house revolts, and JJveritt; ■ perhaps hardly realises what he has brought about,.' but "at any rate Is up against it. There as i a reconciliation .of sorts, to a home on'a new footing.: ?The story .is interesting, but It Is the- admirable character portrayals, not alone'-by .the-principals/which make the play the?thorough success it Is. All who know .of .the stage. and. those .who act upon it know, of Dion-Bouclcault and Irene Vanbrugh, and In their new presentation will certainly not be in any.way disappointed.' With Mr. Bouclcault and Misa Vanbrugh are Mr. Leslie Victor, Mr:. Albert Turner, Miss ißdwena, Konald, Mr. John Esmond, Miss Beatrice Fischer, Miss- Eileen Morris, and Miss Annie Saker. ,"All the King's Horses'' will, be staged until Friday' evening,' when "On. Approval" will follow, and,, later. VKcll.b' Naw.-Orlcans." -
