forming an opinion in most art matters many people
require the confirmation Of majority, led on by some
acknowledged judge who has given the cue but,
while there is universal endorsement Of merit in this
instance there is that in the subject which renders it
unnecessary, for stand in the presence Of the
"Coquette" who do not acknowledge, Of their OWN
unpreudced convictions that ii cannot be sufficiently
praised.

ST. CHARLES THEATER-OnS Saturday night Avoni
Jones played Lucresia Borgia to large house-an
played it to the apparent satisfaction of all. Her re1
dtion OF the character is markedly different from an
that we have ever witnessed. The Lucreza, curren
on the stage, is a fendish voluptuary that allow
neither man nor devil to stand in the way of he
desires. In the Lucreza of Miss Jones, the feeling
of mother are made predominant throughout. A
the background and she appears before US as one ne,
tent for the past and living only in the life and SUI
cess of her son.
We have neither the room or disposition to entt
into crtique OF the whole performance, suffice it
say, that we rank the Lucrezia Borgia Of Avoni
Jones the best translation of the character we hay
ever seen on the stage. 1t is human. Nevertheless
we would say to Miss Jones, that the ghest posito
on the stage is not to be attained by study of sue
plays. They do not teach. The true mission of tt
drama is to point moral!
Tonight, the tragedy of Evadne " will be pc
formed, Miss Avonia appearing as Euadne, and NJ
Pope as Colonna. Nick of the Woods" princip
parts by Messrs. DeBar and Pope, and Mrs. Sente
will conclude the BILL
