following tribute and compliment:
Among the pleased spectators of Mac

Louisville's own talented young actress,
Mis- Mary Anderson, who watched with
the most careful interest each develop
ment of the plot, aud generously Joined
in the applause so often won and de-
served by the principal participants in
the play. Miss Anderson wins many
friends wherever she appears by that
sweet, child-like artlessness of manner
which sits 80 naturally upon her. See.
ing her last evening in the audience, it
was difficult to realize that one so young
had already wos fame all over the cont.
nent as one of the finest Of living tragic
artists. She goes to morrow to Memphis,
where she begins en- Monday evening en-
engagement; from thence shS will extend
her tour Southwark, and Louisville will
probably not see her again on the stage

warm wish for her fullest success will
follow from the hearts of thousands in
this city.
