Don't Miss II


No one should miss the opportunity, this
evening, of seeing the really charming and
talented Wallace Sisters-Jennie, Minnie
and Maud. There's no sell about this
company; no one need fear that the per-
Torrance will be dull, stupid or unenter-
taining.i Every moment is full of interest,
and the fair actresses have that positive
talent and character that wins and CON-
mands attention throughout. We give q
few short extracts to show what is thought
of them:
From the Chicago Journal
Miss Jennie. the heroine of the drama,
is petite, decidedly pretty, and withal a
capital actress, of the emotional order
Her portrayal of the dual role of Minnie
Rock, the street singer, and Clara Will
loughbY, an aristocratic lady, was vivid.
The transition from the little forsaken waif
to the fashionable belle, the centre of at
traction Of large coterie of aristocratic ad-
mrers. was very happy, and called down
the enthusiastic applause of the audience
compliment which was likewise accorded
to the little lady for her spirited acting in
the den scene with Maggs ard Wexford.
From the Peoria Democrat.
| They are fine actresses all three of them.
Jennie is only too cute. She is also one
of the most beautiful ladies On the stage.
And further. she is splendid actress, and
sustained her part throughout with equal
excellence. Piquant without being rude,
vivacious without being bolsterous, pert
without being unladylike, and withal natu.
raj, both as the poor street singer and as
the Belle of Fifth Avenue, she kept the
audience in a constant state of evident ad-
miration. In the few passages which re-
quired deeper emotional qualities she, for
the time being, threw away her gay sell
and assumed with great effect the saddel
qualities of human nature. In tie scene
where she sat on the table with Inky Dick
| (Minnio) the two fairly brought down the
house. There were probably great many
young men in the audience who envieC
either of them-they would not be partie
ular which. 1t is just to mentor
the orchestra, which is exceptionally fine
1t is decided pleasure to sit on the hare
chairs Of that hall and listen to it.
From the Providence Or. ~ Press
Broughams ''Minnie's Luck" is peculi
arly adapted 10 bring cut the talent of the
three sisters, and so pleased were the audi
ence with the acting, singing and dancing
that several enchores were necessary to at
ford them full satisfaction.

The three talented sisters, Miss Jenni
in the title role, Miss Minnie as Inky Dick
and Miss Maud as Cleopatra, played thei
respective parts with great spirit. and the
were ably supported by Messrs Johustol
and Everett. in TIE characters of Pryor

scene in the second act, where 1nky Die
and Minnie eat the divided apple, was on
, of the best scenes in the play. The actin
heroine of the piece, made her specia
