A lev days ago, while dramatic troupe
was stopping At the house. the Colonel wac
even more polite and attentive than ususi--
which is saying not little.
When the members Of the troupe were
seated 1t their meals, Col. Hamlin would
atep up to each and psttins them en- the
shoulder would ask: "My dear friend,
are you receiving the proper amount Of sr-
tention for the money you psyg Oh
course they would reply in the affirmative,
and the Colonel woulj stroll of To look af-

OF course the manager vas pleased at his

Charlie Lyon, Brown and several others:
Colonel, the next time stop with you,

For . minute Hamlin seemed perfectly
thunderstruck, but recovering himself, he
replied:

The Foremost American Actor.

New York Correspondence Cheaso Times.
John McCullcugh's last week at the
Fifth Avenue Theater is nov in pro-
gress. and people are being actually
turned from the doors every evening.
| have hitherto Cwelt Upon the su,
prise which this sudd IN popularity has
engendered, not only iu hay o.n mind.
but in the minds Of every one familiar
with Mr.. McCullough's bank record Is
star before the New York public.
This last weeks business caps the eli
max. The night before last l dropped
in for the purpose Of seeing his final
appearance rs the Gladiator. The
theater was nmmed to the very root.
Such an audience has never before
been seen within the walls Of the Fifth
Avenue. After selling all the seats
and ali the standing room (Which. by
the way. was occupied by as
many ladies' as gentlemen). Mr..
Haverly's treasuuer was obliged to
dispose OF the only remaining box,
seat by seat, Mt the price Of s. ticket.
This is something that dues not often
occur with any star anywhere. Mr..
Mccullough is doing greater business
than any other attraction in the
Country, excepting BerDhardt and the
opera. That he amply deserves it on
account Of tne serious attention he
has bestowed upon the duty of better
ing himself as an artist, and Of rem
dering his great character studies COM
plete and perfect, / think no one will
dispute. l have not heretofore been
willing to concede that Mr.. McCul

that he is, by all odds.
