creditably. The French dramatic dialogue
written by Mad. J. Richard. entitled
elizabeth and Mary Stuart y was render
ed with much spirit by Miss Clara Wilson
as Elizabeth, Miss Lille Harris as Mary,
and Miss L. Gillian as Ann Kennedy; the
contrast between the proud Queen and
Mary being well kept up to the end of the
piece. The ''Dream of Athalie, was recited
by Miss Lille Harris, who exhibited most
remarkable dramatic talent. From the
beginning, where she commences the proud
relation Of how she enlarged her power, to
the close where horror fills her heart at the
apparition of her mother, her acting was
perfect and her face represented wildly
all the emotions called for by the text. Of
her pronunciation we may say, without
fear of contradiction, that take one humid
red school girls in France and not five of
them would have pronounced better. The
costuming Of the characters was magnifi-
cent and that with the costumes of the
other pieces was the result of Mad. Rich
ards excellent designing.
The music of the evening was very nice
and filled the intervals cleverly.
CLOSING NIGHT.

dience gathered to witness the closing ex-
