THE MUSEUM The audience at the Museum
last night was very fair, but the merits of the
piece and the acting demand full house.
Miss Isadora Cameron played with more pow
er than on the preceding night, and was enthu-
siastically called before the curtain. The part
she assumes is well adapted to her talent. and
SIZE sustains it admirably. Miss Victoria Cam.

marked success. All the principal parts are
well sustained, but some of the minor ones
might be improved. The Hunchback will be
repeated tonight, and tomorrow night East
Lynne will be put on the boards.
