' Fvnl's Juvenile rin«forc.John T, Ford's juvenile pinafore company, considered one of the best now on the load, writ open a three night's engagement ,7 this evening at the ojMira house. The com-w panv consists, lt;f about forty Children, none of whom are over eleven years of age. The troupe has created a great sensation Wherever it has appeared, whether in the rendition of Bmafora or Fatinitza. Crowded houses have greeted each i«rfonnanee -wherever rendered and everybody who has seen them have gone away highly pleased with the manner in which both of these ehurmiug operas have been rendered The Macon Telegraph, tre-fernngto the company, has the following: “The cast was peculiarly appropriate, each little midget fitting the role assigned with easv grace ami charming naivette. It is tiNllcuU to give an idea of the merit of the performance. To seo a little ptima dona just seven yaws of age with as sweet a voice as is generally heard from singers smnv years her senior, well perfected tn stage business, and doing her part more perfectly than any Josephine that baa yet ap-before a Maoon audience is remm k-abUv but,when a« eutire troupe of nearly forty cornea up to the same standard, none of whom uro over thirteen, then is a performance presented that is truly surprising. Sir Joseph Ivner and Captain Corcoran were admirably played hy two twin brothers, Willie and John Smith, Both have good voices and charmed the audience. Dick Deadeve, as acted by Master Cov-OrdhlC, reileeled the highest credit on the young sol dr. Ralph Backstraw, by Master Mmehm, was very finely dune. iHe has a very fine voice, ami reached the highest notes with ease. But the sweetest little tusdd in love was Jo*enlnne, the Captain’s daughter, in the beautiful little seven year eld person of Miss LdUc Psyrslovr. A= graceful as possible and a*. pretty as a picture, she won the house. Cousin Hebe, Miss hilly -Batloy. sang very sweetly and swept the bouse \ ub s lor nr- of applause in her nnale song. Buttercup, by Miss Walters, has seldom been equalled mid never excelled ui Ibdsfon hall, and her singing was exquisite. In fact the whole opera was so charming -that it can never bo forgotten by those whowitnessed it
