Criterion Theatre.

Tony Pastor's new company opened a week's engagement at Proctor's Criterion Theatre last evening. The company is composed of stars of the first magnitude and the programme presented last evening was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of approval. The engagement bids fair to be a most successful one. Among the performers are the Musical Lindsays, the St. Albert Sisters, Revene and Athos, grotesque comedians and vaulters ; Tony Pastor, a host in himself ; Max Pettengill and his acting dog, "Jim" ; Farrell and Willmot, the Irish dancing masters ; Beane and Gilday, the comedy sketch artists ; the Donnells, English character vocalists and dancers ; the Armstrongs, "the Greatest of Irish Knockabout Comedians ; " Little Tich, the big shoe dancer, and Miss Annic Oakley, "Little Sure Shot," whose marvelous marksmanship well entitles her to her name. Next week Henry F. Chanfrau will appear in "The Arkansas Traveler."
