THE THEATRE-THE "MIGHTY DOLLAR"
A large and brilliant audience greeted Mr.
and Mrs. Florence at the Theatre last night
on the occasion OF the presentation OF the
"Mighty Dollar" Mr.. Florence was en-
Enthusiastically received, and fully sustained a
reputation honestly earned on two conti-
nents. AS the Hon. Bardwell Slotc he is
simply immense. He convulsed the audi
ence with laughter, and his acting was re-
ceived with great cheering. AS Mrs.
General GiI1ory, Mrs. Florence was at
her best. She divided the honors Of the eve
ming with her husband. The minor charac-
ters were fully sustained. In response to
repeated calls the curtain was raised at the
end Of each act. At the close Of the per-
formance Mr.. and Mrs. Florence appeared
before the curtain, and Mr.. Florence, in a
brief speech, returned thanks for the cor
diality Of his reception, and alluded to his
first appearance on any stage, in this city, in
1S49. 1.:n~..: H's.' -.~. ~ o.. '2-ii ~ ''
The stage setting and accessories were
beautiful and in fine taste. The orchestra
was full and we'll balanced, and the entire
evening was one OF bright memories. The
s.Mighty Dollar" will be repeated to-
night, and we can say, that Mr. and Mrs.
Florence arc great artistes and that the play
is a charming and delightful one. All who
wish to enjoy a laugh and witness play OF
to-day should attend the remaining per-
formances. ..4..,tsls4 9.
