1t McVicker's Maggie Mitchell has pleased fine
audiences in all respects by her picture OF Marie
in !" The Pearl OF Savoy" This week, on Nom
day, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and at the
Thanksgiving matinee, she will appear in "Jano
Eyre" nc think the best play in her repertoire !;
and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and at
the Saturday matinee, "Little Barefoot" will
be given, with Miss Mitchell as Anarv
Next week Jane Coonbs begins an engagement
1t ,McVickers, appearing as Lady Ieazle in
Sheridan's comedy Of the "school for Scandal" !"
which .Mr. McVicker promises to produce in
splendid style, with new costumes, scenery, and
appointments and nobody doubts that he will
keep his word. From the subjoined paragraph
from the Pittsburgh Commercial IT appears
that the Chicago press and public are not alone
in their high admiration OF Hiss Coombs as IN
actress:

Miss Charlotte Thompson has played IL One
Wife" at the ,AcademJSof Music to only fair
houses. It was expected that the piece would
draw immensely. It has done so elsewhere,
chiefly because Of the noto1iety it gained from
the critics, whose minute and elaborate analysis
of the objectionable elements OF the story only
served to heighten the desire to see play which
was the occasion Of such terrific abuse. The
fact that different course was pursued here
with th9 exception Of single contenl-
porary, together with the fact that the
drama proved not to POSSESS the redeem
ing qualities Of strength and finish in it's
was sufficient to render the per-
formance uninteresting and unattractive. The
manner Of it's production, it must be owned, had
to do with this. for the support by the
Academy company was. with q few exceptiona.
extremely poor. a play so shabbily dressed by
