MARY ANDERSON AT THE GRAND.
p. M.

MARY ANDERSON AT THE GRAND.
Miss Mary Anderson last night had one
of the finest houses of the season, the play
being Shakspeare's beautiful love poem,
"Romeo and Juliet" Miss Anderson's
"Juliet" is very much the same as when
last seen in this city. 1t has the merit of
originality, not being in any sense copy
of the great outlets of the stage. The
audience, a most intelligent one, gave Miss
Andersons rendition most emphatic APP
proval, and this is perhaps after all, the
true test.
Tonight she appears as "Meg Merrilies'
in Guy Mannering," and Donna Isabel
in "Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady"
This will enable her admirers to see her on
the same evening in heavy melodrama and
light comedy.
