MARY ANDERSON.

But once before since Car1ls Opera House was opened has it been filled as it was last evening, when Mary Anderson and her com pany presented tsThe Hunehback." Every seat in the great house was occupied, and there was no desirable standing room.'' It was an audience full of admiration for the beautiful and graceful actress and deter mined to be pleased, and from her entrance to the close of the play it was pleased. The part of ttJulia" affords Miss Anderson good opportunities to display her gifts and ac- quirements, and she took advantage of them last evening in a manner which justified the applause she received. The support was in the main good, and MT. Levick's Master Walter" was excellent.
