formance. Mrs. Vanderen and Miss Bleakiey
were compelled to give up their parts at a

member the excellent entertainments given
at the old Orleans Theater in the days when

recollection of olden times will be effective in
attracting them to his benefit; to the general

gramme provided for the occasion.
