densely packed house created the Martinez

splendid bill, splendidly rendered, delight
ed every spectator. The extravagantly
funny pantomime of ''The -Four Lovers

ballet, led by that unrivalIed danssuse Mad
anne MaIzetti, succeeded most admirably
in The Dream. " But the attrac-
tion Of the evening was the grand
spectacular psntomime OF the " Green
Monster" which was most admirably put
on tho stage last night. The tableauz and
trick changes were finely managed, and
the former exquisitely beautiful. No one
should miss seeing it tonight, when it is
again performed. with the additional at
fractions of '' The FiUandiere" and " Les
Hommes de L'Ajr.''
