T " (TTt"J FANNV There was ii full house mil at the ' Lansing Wednesday evening to wit-1 ness l'aullne Hall's elegant production of "Erinlnlo." This in the opera in which Miss Hall won the biggest hit of her stage career, she having piosont (! the original character at the Now York Casino during Its wonderful run of ovor two years. Miss Hall has decidedly pleasing stage appcarauco and dresses loely. Hhe is In possession of u sweet and winsome voice, which, while not strung, is nevertheless well modulated and this, together with the Use of it pair of pretty and oxpiosslvo eyes accounts for her popularity. One thing was noticeable in this engage ment and that was the change in her Htyle of stago carriage. Slit is not the poetry of motion by any means, neither has she the easy gait that formerly characterized her stago presence. Fact is, she has been playing male roles so much of late yearn Unit sho seems to have acquired more the walk of a man than of one of her own sex. Sho seems to forget that in Erininlc sho appears an a retined lady but after her solos turns and struts olT like a proud man who has uchehed success. Miss Hull othervi-o appeared to ex cellent advantage and her company is one that does credit to the star. Harry Maedouough and Frank l).i id as the two thieves wore excellent characters and carried on the comedy roles equal to their predecessors In the original cast, which was perfection Itself. .Jacques Kruger, whom old timo theatre goers will yet remember as having Marred In "Photographs," made a clever Chevalier. Cerise Marcel was well sung by Miss Helen Dunber and Miss Kva Davonpoit creditably done the l'rlncess. The scenic elleets, carried by tho company, add much to the realism of tho piece' It was a large and fitshli liable audience and the applause at proper times attested the appreciation shown for tho work. Evans & Ilooy closed a most success ful two nights engagement at the Lan sing last night, their Series It of A Parlor Mutch being the old familiar, yet funny and interesting bill. The house was completely lllled Thursday night, and another largo audience was present last night. Series !), like all the other series of Kvans & Hoey's work, Is riplutu fun frolic and general festiv ities. There is of course a plot to tho piece, but when one gets though laugh ing at three acts of tho absurdities and enjoying the several musical numbers, thuj mm no time to keep ti tick of a story. The company Is large and each member is put to some practical test of merit which generally is well sus tained. There are several excellent specialties Introduced all of which tho audience never falls to appreciate. Mr. Ilooy, as usual, won thunders of applause on his topical song "I'm tho man that broke the bank at Monte Carlo," In which ho Introduced a local bit referring to tho collapsed Capital National of this city. A novel, striking feature is introduced in the second act. To the rear of tho center i of the stage stands a conjurors cabi net large enough to hold one or two portions. Comedian Kvans sings a verso which alludes to his skill as a I conjurer and Mopping to tho cabinet' touches a button and alternately, one I at it time, it do.eu or mote chauictors appear, and slug national songs. Kneh ! representing a dillerent country, the ' whole tending to show who wo will! have at tho World's Fair. Last to up-1 pear 1h Undo Ham and Columbia who, ' iu song, bid them all welcome. Of course the patriotic sentiment always provelent with American audiences, exerts Itself and the applause that follows lu almost deafening. It is an excellent feature and particularly at this time takes exceedingly well", it demonstrates that Messrs. Kvans ,t lloey are always 'bcratehing' for nine- KgsjMSfc ..

The week's festivities at the Lansing will close tonight with Walter San ford's gi eat scenic pi eduction of "My .lack." Much has been written in coiuiueudatioii of this attraction, but as it lias neer before been seen here, the following from the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette will serve as an excel lent recommendation: "Walter Sun foid's 'My .lack' was well received by the patrons of Havlin's yesterday, and the indications are favorable for a good week's business. The piece was superbly ununited, its many elaborate and real istic scenes being set with a complete ness as to detail most surprising, as well as admirable. 'My .lack' is tho master of all scenic productions, and all the scenery used iu the play Is car ried by Mr. Sanfr.rd iu his own special cars." 'filor'iiim'' Monilii.v i:cnliii;.

His company, contrary to the usual custom of stars, is an exceptionally strong one, and has been pronounced by tho eastern press as tho strongest comedy organization in the United States. It consists of tho Messrs Kd. J.
