ST.. CHARLES THEATRE. night
Chris and Lena was given to an unu-
slally large audience attracted TO the
old st. Charles by the popularity OF the
beneficiary, Mr.. =. Gleason. the popu-
lar Treasurer of the theatre. We have
spoken OF the performance on previous
occasions and have nothing more to
add, both Mr.. Keen and Miss Adams
being up to their usual standard OF ex..
cellcnce, On Mardi Gras night this old
landmark will give its Twenty-First An
nual Fancy Dress and Mask ball, by
referring to the advertisement we see
that tickets can be procured upon ap-
plication to Mr.. =. Gleason. On Mon
day next the renowned tragedian, Mr..
Edwin Adams, begins an engagement
ut this theatre.
EDWIN ADAMS will appear on Monday,
February 21st, at this theatre, on which
occasion "Enoch Arden" will be pro-
duced. All lovers Of the drama should
be present to give him an enthusiastic
reception. One OF our exchanges says !:
eve have said enough heretofore OF
Mr. Adams, but we cannot refrain from
again calling attention to his exquisite
delineation of "Enoch Arden" Tenny-
son himself would be satisfied with the
manner in which the hero Of his poem
Is brought upon the stage in all the
beauty and pathos Of real life. There Is
nothing sighted, nothing overweight,
from the minutest detail to the most
thrilling situation; but the story Is told
with touching simplicity, and fidel-
ity to nature which amounts to absolute
perfection.
