The Sun.

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1888.

The theatrical novelties were in the vaudeville way. Tony Pastor assembled the company which he is to take on his annual long tour at the close of his season at home. There was a large audience, which was alert and cordial to recognize the many strong features of the bill. The programme included Fanny Beane and Charles Gilday in songs and dances ; the Donnells, Irish vocal and pedal doings ; Little Tich, a burnt-corked dwarf, in very funny grotesque dances ; Revere and Athos, tumblers and vaulters ; Tony Pastor in his topical songs, and Annie Oakley in a good exhibition of shooting at glass balls. The company has an unusual number of good entertainers of account in their field of amusements.
