MRS. SCOTT sIDDoNs.
The tickets for Mrs. Scott-Siddons' readings,
which will be given at Music Hall Friday eve
ming are selling rapidly at Stockbridges, and
there is every reason to expect crowded
house on that occasion. The Toronto Globe
says:
Mrs. Siddons crowds half dozen stories
and their climaxes OF equal realism and thrill
ing interest into one short evening. Then
there is no mediocrity to endure. The audi
ence hears nothing but the most faultless elo-
cution, that is fired by the genius of race of
actors. Every gesture is grace itself and
full OF expression, while to all this is added
classic beauty face so delicately mobile that
every shade of thought can be read sweeping
swiftly across it as readily as one can distin-
guish the bands of sunlight and shadow chas-
ing each other over summer landscape.
HUMPTY DUMPrY.
The sale of seats for Humpty Dumpty will
commence at Music Hall tomorrow morning.
The Springfield Republican says:
Tony Denier's "Humpty Dumpty'' drew
crowded house last night, including quite a
delegation from Chicopee. Several features
OF the show were of Fox stand-bys, but most
were new, and the audience were kept on the
(the GrimaldD can undoubtedly make himself
a successor to the late lamented G. L. Fox.
Adams is fine gymnast, and his tumbling on
stills was remarkable. The eleven specialties
were specially attractive. The troupe is q
strong one and has met with good success.
NOTES.
Harry French, agent of Bloodgnod's min
strels, is at the United States Hotel. That
company will appear the 10Th and Both.
Harry Freneh's great opera troupe of 40
people, with Florence Ellis in the principal
role, will appear at Portland Theatre in "Der
See Cadet" or the every Merry Mariner" on
Friday and Saturday, April and 3.
A Spanish opera troupe is singing in Paris
and is creating quite sensation by the novel;
ty of its performances.
The concert for the benefit of the grand
daughter of Remeau, the famous French COM
poser, is announced for the 18th of April, to
take place in the great hall of the Trocadero.
The representations which have been given
by Miss Mary Anderson at the Park Theatre,
Brooklyn, within the past week, have covered
very broad area of human nature trans6g-
ured into poetic ideals She has acted Evadne,
Parthenia, Julia, Juliet, Meg Merrillies, Paul
inc, and The Countess in 'Love.'' 1t is only
technical criticism-useful but tedious, and al
ways second-class pursuit-which would, on
paper, concern itself with her specific method
OF treating these parts, in detail. The vital
point is the consideration of her advancement
She is young and very beautiful woman; she
is crude genius; and she is destined to
great future on the stage. Her loneliness alone
will carry her very far in the public estima-
ton. 1t is singular and instructive to remark
however, with what gradual movement her
mind progresses, how very slow the development
is, which only fancy propels, and in which
thus far, actual experience forbears to particle
pate.
