this evening. The elegant manner in which this
piece placed upon the stage is the subject OF uni
yersal commentator, and it is drawing large and
fashionable audiences every evening Miss keene,
within the few weeks she has had charge OF the
Chestnut has already won fer 1t the same kind OF
reputation as is enjoyed by Wallack's in New York
and Seiwyns in Boston The house is far more
beautiful more comfortable, and in every way more
attractive than either OF the establishments named
and it is emphaticaly the fashionable theatre OF
Philadelphia. refined and elegant
taste is displayed in all the details OF
the stage arrangement, and with very superior
stock company to aid her, Miss Keene has inaugu-
rated series of entertainments that are calculated
to raise very high the public estimation Of the drama,
and TO do away with much OF the prejudice that eX-
ists in certain minds towards theatrical amuse-
ments. The drama OF Hunted Dorm is one OF great
interest, and the admirable manner in which it is
performed secures for it the heartiest applause. 1t

inc to find that the Chestnut is taking its proper
position as the model theatre OF Philadelphia
