"Babes in the Wood" was played CO Thursday
night, in the presence of a numerous audience.
Miss Joey Gougenbeim, in the character of
Lady Blanche, exceeded all her previous ef-
forts, and r. ceived a spontaneous tribute of
admiration. We should be doing al injustice
were we to omit to mention, also, the fine act

on this OCCASION ana that of Mr.. Lamb. who
"kept the house in roar" from first to last.
II Miss Gougenheim remains here another

certainly one of the best ever produced in
Richmond.
