D' The beautiful portrait of CELESTE by Chalon,
in her popular drama of "St. Marys Eve" is now
exhibiting at Coman's, No. 205 Broadway. 1t was
presented 10 Celeste by Mr. Webster, manager Of the
Haymarket Theatre, London, as testimony Of ad-
miration for her extraordinary taleut and private
worth. The frame was made by Dickson & Co., Of
London, and at Celeste's own desire, the American
eagle was carved on the top.
The public will be pleased 10 hear that this popular
drama acknowledged TO be the best produced on the
stage for the twenty years. was written expressly
for Celeste by an American, VIM. Bale Bernard
ESQ., native Of Boston.
Last night, when Mr. Waack announced that Ce-
leste would appear on Thursday the whole house
rang with applause. On Thursday she plays : ST.
Mary's Eve"-dances LA Cachucha," THE Nor
sande" and LA Chatte." Several private boxes
were engaged Immediately on the announcement Of
her playing, and we will lay wager that Celeste
will draw the largest house assembled in the Ma
tional Theatre.
