THE JENNY NYE TROUPE.

Miss Jenny Nye’s Party of Oddities opened in the Town Hall, Clyde, on Friday last to a large audience. The company consists of Miss Jenny Nye, on whose abilities it is unnecessary to enlarge, except we may be permitted to mention that she looked as young as she did a dozm years ago, and as versatile and nimble as ever. Mr F. W. Fisher, who his recently appeared before us more than once, needs no praDc at our bauds, as bis name is suf-

indent to guarantee genuine amusement. Mr J. W. Marshall, the basso, we do not recollect having seen before, but be has a clear powerful voice, and wu-gs distinctly. Mr W. H Fanning, ventriloquist, we have so ti before under another name. In Madame Ennyne the company have an accompanist of much ability, the expression given and time kept being very noticeable. After the opening piece by Madame Ermyno, the entertainment commenced with the sparkling comedy entitled Nothing to Wear, in which Miss Nye appeared as the heroine of the hour, most ably assisted by Mr Fisher. The piece is brimful of humour, and the spirit and care with which the actors performed their parts sustained the interest of the audience throughout. Then fo'lowed a musical melange, in which Miss Nye, and Messrs Fisher and Marshall sang some of their choicest selections, and were warmly applauded. Air Fanning then introduced his ventriloquism in an able manner, the sayings of “ Johnny Trotter ” and “Sarah” keeping everybody —especially the youngsters—amused. The entertainment was brought to a close with the bnrlctta The Swiss Swains, by the whole of the company', and was provocative of laughter throughout, and deservedly applauded. On Saturday there was a change of programme, and the audience were almost as numerous as on the previous evening. The company' .gave two entertainments at Alexandra on Monday and Tuesday nights, and were well patronised both nights. The company intend returning the same way they came, and will perform for one night only in Clyde on Wednesday, September 22nd, with an entire change of programme and at reduced prices.
