Y., has this to say of the company: "Another large audience was attracted to the Opera House last evening and thoroughly pleased by the amusing situations in The Strategists. It is almost broad enough to be farce, and capitally acted it can hardly fail to catch the house. J. Clinton Hall is good, now as ever, and he brings with him an ex cellent company, including such names B. Ada Monk and Sol. Smith.

The Philadelphia Press says of this play: "'An Iron Wip is taking name for play, and the good impression made by the title was more than confirmed by the performance. There has not been such 8 touching representation of womans devo- tion seen upon our stage in a long time. Most of the ladies present, and not few of the sterner sex, were moved to tears. A dash of comedy runs through the play. but it is full of tender sentiment; and in it's last scene is singularly pathetic. It will have 8 most suc- cessful run" Reserved seats are for sale ct Loomis'.
