plainly apparent, both IN her reading

fine yet powerful voice-which is,
perfectly at her command, and which
adds an electrical br1lliancy to her in-i

Tonight Miss Denim will appear in
her masterpiece, elizabeth, Queen

pronounced by the press and public

The Bulletin, speaking of Miss
Denim in the character OF 'iElizabethy
Queen of England" says: r
Miss DENIN's BENEFT-LAsT NIGHT,
The finest audience of the season
i assembled at the Atheneum tow itness
/ Miss Susan DENNIS representation of
elizabeth, Queen of England" Her
acting was characterized by great
power and depth of feeling, and the
manner in which she at times changed
| from paroxisms ofpassion TO. hemost
teRder solicitude; from .exultation to
abject remorse, evoked the frequent
plaudits of the audience. tHer, great
est effort, however, was in the last
act-whent the naughty Queensof Eng
land, no longer the commanding mas
culine woman she was in the heyday
of youths seen as a whining, fret-
full old woman, tottering on the brink
of the grave, yet proud and self-reo
liant to the last7and refusing, all aid
/ from her attendants. Here Miss Dem
in's great facial power and marvellous
command of voice were most conspic-
nous. The determined but unayailing
effort to retain energy, ana her relax
alton into feebleness, was q splendid
piece of acting. Nothing equal to
Miss DENNIS Elizabeth has ever been
seen in Cairo. Her support was good.
The splendid wardrobe of Miss Denim
and Mr.. Ed. Clifford Carl Of Essex
was rich and gorgeous.
This afternoon and night will be
Miss DENNIS last appearance here
but we hope this gifted lady will pay
us another visit before long. This at
ternoon a grand ladies' matinee will
take place, when E" Lost and Won"
will be repeated (by special rcquest)
1t is the best society piece ever writ,
ten, and every mother and daughter
should see it. itfs .aI -.t
