McVfcker's company presented us with Mr.
Thornc, q good light comedian, who did fine
service as Mercutio, 1ago and D'Artagnan, but
injured the company by 1t 'guying" on the stage
and spreading disorgauization through his in
| subordination- Miss Tracy, the leading lady,
soon had trouble. with the stagc-mauager, and
! left the company, to the great relief Of the
community. She was chiefly remarkable for
wearing dresses cut very low in the ueek. Miss
Don succeeded her. She is clever actress,
put not strong enough for heavy parts. Her
best work was seen Us .MaMAde in - Led
Mr. Hotto, the new low-comcdtan, proved
to be a fnithful actor, but bad one hfr.
Harry Lee turns out to be q good aud
promising Juvenile man, often overweightcd,
put ambitious, conscientious, and respectable.
His best work was seen as VoIage in .'The MIR
ble Heart" Bartolo in '*Fazio," and Ai01us in
"The Hunchback;'' his worst in IHacdnD and
1Tn1n0 The company has developed two
novices during the season,-Air. Mark Smith and
Miss Cora Tanner. Among the new stars un-
questionAbiy the most promising were Miss
Mary Anderson and Miss Ellie Ellslcr. Miss
Louise Fomeroy had no success. Genevicye
Rogers can hardly be called new, since she has
grown up in Chicago. Rose Eytiuge is Il decided
acquisition to the acquaintance OF Chicago play
goers. Miss Lettie Alien was u mere girl, and
Ignorant OF the first rudiments Of the art she
presumed to represent.
THE EVENTS or THE SEASON
may be summed up as first in Importance, the
production Of "Twclltll Night ~ at Hayerly's
Theatre by Adelaide Nelson; second, the debut
Of Mary Anderson; third, the engagement OF
Madame Janauschek; fourth, the production
Of 9'Coriolanus at McVicker's Thcatre; fifth,
the production Of ssThe Shauellraun,' and the
temperance Of Dion Boucicault; sixth, the en-
gagement Of Mr.. Sothcrn.
