with superior stage facilities and full
costumes. Miss Annie Firmin as
"Topsy." Little Dorritt Ashton as

selves admirably. and won the hearts
Of all present. Miss Firmin. rs has
before been stated In these columns, Il

Little Dorritt Ashton 10 m actual won.
der In tho part Of Eva" She comes
mp to the highest ideal in all the re-
| quirements OF the character. not only
in AGE and size. but also in personal
beauty and precocity; and in the pa
thstic interview with her father. where
she tells him that he must soon lose his
little darling. there was many an eye
moistened with tears. Each member Of
the company, on both evenings. acted
his part as II his whole soul were in 1t.
and not in the careless and slipshod
manner 90 often Witnessed.
After the close Of the entertainment
Saturday evening John Jack came be-
fore the curtain and replied TO the In
sulting advice given by some, ''that the
members OF the company should SO to
work like other people and not try to
sponge aliving of tho community" MIR.
Jack very truly remarked that tho pro-
fsssion OF an actor was one that re-
quired years Of hard labor and self
denial. and in working mp to any posi-
ton In it.. he necessarily untitled him
self for successfully competing with
those who had been trained in other
professions, or branches Of labor. There
were those In this company who had
devoted their whole energies. during q
quarter OF o century. to their profession.
and the advice for them ito go to work"
was an uucalled for and gratuitous in.
suit. Tho manly and straightforward
speech Of Mr.. Jack did honor to him.
self and the entire company, and had
the effect Of setting their position before
the public In its true light. As he stated.
there are several in the company who

they would have nothing but q pros

This evening the company will appear
at Armory Hall, Silver City. in "Unclo

Odeon Hall. Dayton, in the same piece,
and Wednesday evening at Silver City
again, ut which time "Ths Hidden

say In the utmost sincerity that those

their money. for aside from being excel.
lent In both pieces, each member Is on
