THEATRICAL.
The Yale and Ellis Company's "The
Evil Eye" opened what promises to be
a most successful week's engagement at
the Lyceum theater.last evening—play
ing to one of the largest houses of the
Lyceum's season thus far. "The Evil
Eye" is a trick spectacal in the truest
senso of the word, and is totally devoid
of any plot or story. The play deals
with one, "Evil Eye," who is supposed
to be possessed of a strange power over
others. In "Nid" and "Nod," however,
the two sons of a mountebank, he finds
his match, and he is foiled at every turn,
his strange power availing him little in
tho end. The antics of ~N irt" and
"Nod" are truly wonderful. The parts
are interpreted by the Brothers Ken
nard, gymnasts of considerable reputa
tion. The singing of May inn Mayo is
one of the most pleasing features of the
entire show. —Buffalo Review, Novem
ber 19, 1901.
