Maggie Mitchell Tonight.

No actress at the present day gives such
universal pleasure to all classes, high and
low, rich and poor. as Maggie Mitchell, and
"Lorle, or the Artists Dream" is of a
rather higher type than ''Fanchon." or
the Little Barefoot, but gives Maggie"
ample scope to display her peculiar talents
and versatility. 1t affords an excellent
field for the peculiar style which Maggie
Mitchell has made her own; it does some
thing even more than this, since its scope
is more extended, and the demand which
it makes more sustained than other
characters of the same nature 1t is
hardly so full of delicious abandon as
Fanchon, yet it is more varied, and filled
with bits of pleasant surprise which i'm
press the audience sympathetically and
wildly, The piece as play rises to more
dignity of plot than perhaps either of the
three similar plays with which Maggie
Mitchell is associated, and then if we add
a very evenly balanced and effective COM
pany we shall have the principal excellen-
cies of charming entertainment.
