Private dispatches from San Francisco
indicate that Mr.. Lester Wallack has met
with an unusually hearty reception, and
one that is thoroughly gratifying to the vet

The following paragraph, from London

OF Miss Nelson are now announced at the

to see her."
At Wallack's New York theater the success
of Miss Ada Cavendish In Miss Gwilt," so
late in the season, is unprecedented. 1t is
due to the strength of the play, admirable
acting and the strong realistic effects in which
one may study the possibilities of woman s
nature when her morals give way under the
growing presence of a crime which one fatal
step has made necessary.

A story concerning the late Mrs. Howard
Paul is related by the Dramatic News. Once

Sims Reeves who was the hero of the hour,
sent word that he was indisposed. The
manager knew this meant the return of the
money. Mrs. Howard Paul was one of the
singers, and at q moments notice she went
on for Mr.. Reeves, and initiated his voice
and manner so correctly that no one knew
the difference.
The performances by the Coincide Fran
caise company at the Gaiety, London, have
created the most profound interest. On the
night of the 4th inst, "L'Etrange'' was pro-
duced, with Sarah Bernhardt as MRS. Clark
son. Hatred, passion, contempt scorn,
cruelty, cynicism and revenge are here ar

The old nonsense about the inconsistency
of permitting la Traviata" and not permit
ting ia Dame aux Camelias' has reappeared
lately. The fair test is to take a modest girl
to see the French play and to take her to see
the Italian opera. The one will disgust her,
the other will simply charm her with the
music, and perhaps affect her by the death
of the jllted girl. Take out the scenes Of
manners from the original play, leaving the
sentimentality, and put all the characters
into fancy dresses and make them sing, and
the original Embellishments of the giori6ec
lorette disappears.
