evening, and Mrs. Walters "Lady Macbeth"
was regarded by all as an excellent persona
ton. Tonight the musical drama of Guy
Hannering is TO be given, with Mrs. Waller
as Meg Merrilies," part which Charlotte
Cushman has rendered famous in this coun-
try, and which will give the audience an
opportunity to compare the personations of
these two great tragic artists. The farce of

abounds in effective situations and striking

omit giving it hours of study must of me-
cessity regret the opportunity they lose. Il
seems the perfection of art, and is not
equaled, we believe, by any landscape in the
world.
