Miss Kate CtdrtOn.-Miss X .Le CaX
ton, supported by Mr.. Charles A. Ste+
venson and her New York company,
will appear this evening, at the Grand
Opera House, in her great original
character of Louise in the Two Or
phans. Of her appearance in New Or
leans the Picayune Says: ''We Can
pay Mis- Claxton no higher compli-
ment than to say that she has made an
entire audience look upon the Two
Orphans with new and genuine de-
light as though upon revelation.
Thatis triumph which any artist might
be proud of achieving in New Or
leans, for we are not an easy going
people in theatrical matters, as many
and many a crushed genius will attest.
OF the company we can say little at
present save that they gave 10 the cen
tral figure u loyal and adequate sup
port. Miss Clevas is very far superior
to the Henriettes we have known.
Her delineation of the sense of pretec
tion which the youngest girl could mat
urally feel afLer having been 81
long the guide and shield of her fflic-
ted sister, Is exquisitely artistic. In
the Chateau scene. her acting is espe
cially nice. Mr.. Stevenson has a fne
frank, manly style, which is very pleas
ing. He might be Il little more plant
and symphateic in the emotional pas
sages, particularly those with the
Countess, but In the nervous aud he
roic episodes he is everything that is
admirable.
Charlotte IhompSon.-The Christ
mas peIfDTmances aG the Grand Opera
House will comprise Miss Charlotte
Thompson in three plays, and reserv
ed seats Can now be 0bla'ned at
G. f. Tuomas s. Co.'S.
In speaking If Miss Thompson the
New Y OrK Herald says: "She is som
thing more Than Ii keen or flushed
! illustrator. Pain is not her stock and
trade, nor sorrow all her capital, but
she has imagination and sentiment, a
Quick reIved sympathy with suffer
| lug, as it occurs, not in the ideal but
| the real life about her, and it is a
great pleasure To find woman who
like Miss Thompson, knows how to
express the intensity Of those emo
tions. She does not do 1t by a
mouthing of the lips, but a fresh
calling up of the soul"
