presented at the theater by that accom-.
plished actress Fanny Davenport. OF

part appears as mabel Renfrew," an ex.
change states:
No one can witness Mr.. Days most
interesting play Of Pique-ahd every
body ought to see it-without having the
mind recalled to the painful case Of
Charley Ross. Truth is stranger than
fiction, and more surprising incidents
than those which are depicted in Mr..
Days play have happened under our
very eyes. II anything could deepen
the sympathy which is felt for the Ross
family, it would be the thoughts sug.
gested by the powerful and deeply i'm.
pressive performance of Miss Davenport,
and there are few who can look on at il
without wishing, with all their hearts,
that the relief from q sovereign Attic
ton which the actress depicts in so
affecting a manner, will yet come to the
Ross family.
