Miss Katie Mayhem. I'm the Tolls,
attracted large audiences to Ford's Opera
House, during the past week. Miss
Mayhem, who last year was most pop
ular member of the National Theater
company, is favorite here, but her
audiences were drawn together by the
cleverness of her PRESERVATION of JAG
quette," rather than by her personal
popularity. 'In the Tolls" is a play
well suited to her peculiar talent, and
the rapid and frequent vocal and facial
changes required by the dialogue, full OF
pathos and humor, were met in most
admirable style. Her acting was so
winning that her presence before the
curtain was demanded by the audience.
