A Largo AUDIENCE
Seldom has an audience gathered in the
Grand Opera House, of such proportions aS
the one which assembled Last evening, on the
occasion OF the second and Last appearance Of
~ Aaggig Mitchell. Every se.tt in the house was
occupied, aud numbers were e0mpelied to
4 stand ~. The play was the Touching aud
haantiful domestic drana, "I4ttle Barefoot, >"
with Miss Mitchell. as LtAlc 1Riyg the bare
foot. This IL deededly One OF her most ef
fectlve and pleasing rOias and her naive, grace
fnl andcapu Vatlng acting was appaIUied To
the very echo Ii is not necessary 10 make
any extended criticism OF her performance -
To the large audience it was emnently salts
factory, and she was impetuuusly called before
the curtain, at the end OF each act, amid
storms of applause. She was sXcellently sup
ported. klr. SheWell'5 Fdf10eP Peace, was
such q humorous ana pleasing creation, that
it caused q feeling OF regret, that the old far
mer is not brought upon the stage until the
last act. Mr.. Harris, handsome In person and
easy in manner, was excellent as W1a. t'eGee,
while MF. Eaberle made the most o: the un-
gracious, though important character of poor
half Wtted Jeniny. The others played well
their respective parts, and by their admirable
manner OF supporting the leading yOlGs mater
tally assisted in making the performance one
OF the most enteFtaing and agreeable charae-
ter.
No more satisfactory performance has ever
h been given in this citV, and we hope that 1t
return to receive that enthusiastic reception
which always awaits her at the hands OF our
people among whom she is such a favorte
