OLD THEArRE IT is fact patent to the
minds Of every one who has witnessed the
charming little protesn Lotta-and to those
who have not, we would say again you are
missing great treat-Of the discriminating
Judgment and good tastes an the management
Of the Old Theatre, in selecting 50 interest
ing ADD deservedly popular a character as
the pet" not 'California" alone, but the
pet OF crcTy body. Last evening was re-
peated the thrilling hi torieal burlesque Of
'Pocahontas," Miss Lotta in the character
OF PocahOntas, a role in which there is fine
opportunity for the dsplayof her powers as
a vocalist, ever and anon her voice swelling
out like the rushing Of the wind that pre-
cedes the storm, and then settling down as
the evening zephyr waited 70 our cheek
from some oriental Ct me. As the gentle
and obedient child, and again the defiant
and indignant daughter, we have piece Of
acting that SURPRISES any reasonable con-
ception. In Nessrs, Petrie, as Pawhatan,
Harry Everett, as Mynheer, Rolf, and ALI.
Stewart, as John Smith, Miss Lolita had an
excellent support Mr.,Alf. Stewart who is
one Of NashTille's favOTites, appeared 10 de-
cided advantage. His reading shows close
application to study. The play throughout
was a success, all doing themselves credit.
This evening is set apart for Miss ioita's
benefit, and we feel sure in making the an
nouncemnt that crowded house vii be the
result Go everybody, and take your family;
show your appreciation of true merit and
genius, and add at the same time 10 the pc
euniary Interest Of one y no Is laboring nj ght
and day, taxing her young BRAN TO please.
The events g's entertainIpent viii consist Of
the splendid drama, entitled ''Womsn's
Curiosity, Miss Lolita appearing in five
different characters; and ''Family Jars
Liddy, Miss Lolita.
PoLAED's YAARmTY THEATRE "A new pros
