tie tombstone was presented at this theater
last evening, with Mrs. Chalfrau in the title
role. The play is exceedingly clever and en-
joyable, and the acting of the star is, as usual,
excellent. In the scenes requiring depth of
feeling her delineation is particularly deserv-
ing of praise, appealing strongly to those
tender and sympathetic cords in human ma
ture. which, when ones struck, vibrate in such
exquisitely pathetic tones that the whole soul
seems stirred for better or for worse. We can
pay the lady no higher compliment than to
say she plays on the human feelings to an ex-
tent only attainable by an drtiste, and the
almost magnetic sympathy existing between
herself and her audience is at times wonderful
The entire play is we'll cast aud excellenty
acted. The scenic effects are very fine, espe-
cially the life boat rescue, which is perfect
marvel in its way, and is another triumph for
Mr.. Harry Dressed The same bill is an
nounced for Che week.

ter Miss Adams and Mr.. Keen take benefit
this evening. and We trust they will have
crowded house. The lady is an excellent
musician and performs on variety of instru-
ment in excellent style; she also sings and
acts very creditably. Mr.. Keen is a very good
Dutch comedian, and adds to his good sing

fine Cuisines" Their performances are
very enj oyable and We trust they may receive
encouragement this evening.

urday night
