ELLsLER's ATHENEUM.-Quite full house
greeted the second representation of the
"French Spy" last night. Miss Salle st.
Clair appeared in her different characters
in that drama, and also as Nan in the farce,
with that facility and power Of transform
ing herself into the personality she repre-
sents, which have made her so great fa-
vorite with the public. The entertainment
last-night was throughout decided success.
Tonight one of the finest bills of the
se,son will be offered at the Atheneum.
Tle exciting drama of "Aurora Floyd"
founded on the novel of that name, by Miss
Braddon, will be performed-Miss st. Clair
personating Aurora. The comedietta Of
Our Country Cousin" will follow-Miss
st. Clair appearing as Margery. In both
the drama and farce, the other characters
are so cast as to give assurance of splendid
representation of both.
