audience Us it has ever been our pleasure
to notice congr.gated in this temple Of
pleasure. From the rising OF the curtain
in the first act till the close of the last, the
closest eagerness and earnestness were
manifested, but only with the develop
ment of the play. when the hardships
and distress of the blind orphan and the
hendish cruelty of her keepers were wit
messed. did the audience show that inten-

men and females sitting around the cosy
little tables, ,ieping their champagne
and talking soft nonsense, while the
mellow light from the lamps shaded by

appearance OF the tail and noble edihce
in the back gsnund gave it magnetic
charm that All who have read of the gay

brought in on lounge and when arous-
ed TO consciousness, and she understands
her doom, appeals SO eloquentIy to the

such profusion on the half naked and
shivering forms of Louise, with her
wan face, and her only friend

arrived in the nick of time to prevent
the shedding of the blood ofthe iunocen

carried away with enthusiasm, at thi
juncture, that they arose from their seat
almost en- masse, many clsppinl
