theater was given the final representation o.
. Jealousy, and tonight Mrs Chanfrau will
be seen in "Christie Johnston, or Out of the
Depths. This is said to be one Of the most
successful plays in this lady's repertoire, it
being largely emotional and affording fine
scope for that excellent style of acting which
Mrs. Chanfrau has made so peculiarly her
own. We have heard many favorable reports
in reference to the play itself and expect to
see something very excellent tonight.
