This sparkling combination opened Mon
day night and have had fine houses all the
week. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
nights and Wednesday matinee they pre-
sented the Brook" an old favorite, and
the piece in which their first great success
was scored. 1t has been greatly improved
from time to time, and is very entertaining
even to those who have seen it many times.
On Thursday night they put on "Patch-
work" and in this piece Miss McHenry
shows herself fully the equal of Miss
Rosina Vokes, who assumed precisely
similar character in "Belles of the
Kitchen" patchwork" will be presented
at the matinee to-day and at the closing
performance tonight.
MARY ANDERSON NEXT WEEK.
Next week at Pixies we are to have the
distinguished young American tragedienne,
Miss Mary Anderson, in a round OF her
leading characters, supported by fine
company. Miss Anderson made her first
great success in this city at Woods Thea
ter, and her achievements are so familiar
, to our people that any extended mention
of her appears superhuous She was
born at Sacramento, California, Feb. 2Sth,
1850 Surrounded by the luxuries OF
life that wealth could bestow, the advant-
ages of most liberal education, early in
life she felt that her genius and talent
: pointed to the dramatic art. The feeling
was natural and intuitive. Her love for
Shakespeare and his heroines was sofond
that with it came the desire to imperson-
g ate them. Her first appearance was made
in Louisville, KY, the city of her adop-
. ton, and where the most of her life had
been passed and her education accom-
, pished Her debut was made in a lead
| Ing role, that. of Juliet" in Shakspeare's
: sublime love-tragedy, and her impersona-
ton of that difficult but beautiful charac-
ter was a revelation, making old stagers
s look aghast and stare with wonder at this,
e until then, unheard of "child Of genius
d that they had among them.
y Her announcements for the week are as
n follows:
n Monday and Tuesday evenings, October
h 9Th and 7th-"Julia," in the "Hunch-
u back"
+ Wednesday evening, October sth-"Par-
thenia, in "Ingomar."
