Mime. Gerster is both pretty and
great; Miss Carey is too well known

the baritone. is perhaps inferior to |
Carleton. The complete ballet, the |

money; even when some chorester |
was required to sing short solo il |

Mary Anderson. whose superior ex.

never had an opportunity OF witness
sing, was playing at Haverly's Twenty
eighth Street Theatre to crowded |
houses. Isaw her as Julia, in the ever
popular "Hunchback," supported by |
Mines Levick in the title role. Miss
Anderson's popularity comes not |
only from the fact that abe is beauti-
ful and highly gifted, but from her
American birth; there is natural
pride In seeing the highest niche OF
the dramatic temple of fame occupied |
by an American girl.
"The Bankers Daughter" is run
ming at the Union Square, with Chas.

JeWett and Owen Fswcett as Stebe-
low Mrs. Sudbued Grief Brown. Mrs.
Strebelow and g. Washington Phipps
respectively. From such a cast end
play, full houses must result.
''Hszsl Kirke," in its twelfth
month at the Madison Square The
sire, has worn out number of sets OF
actors. The theatre is unique; the
orchestra is above the stage; there is
= double stage, which admits of the
curtains being dropped for few sec
onds upon q magni6cently furnished
room aud rises upon landscape even
more minute in its details; one stage
OF box has been elevated and the one
below it brought into place.
Under the almost classic shadeI OF

of description TO do honor to the
man who built the theatre and the
great author to whom it was chiefly
dedicated. SSlvini, the Italian,
speaking his native tongue and sup
ported by an English speaking troupe,
is 80 great as to hold an audience
spefibound, despite the disadvantages
under which he performs. / have
never seen his equal as q delineator
OF human passions. As Othello, We
forget that he does not speak our own
language, 60 absorbed do We become
in the consummate acting of this
master. At first his gentle love then
his indignant refusal to believe Des
demona false, the subsequent
success of lagos insidious d. !
sbolism and the jealous frenzy
and final revenge of the Moor,
we're sc evenly developed and power
fully portrayed as to win the most in.
satiable applause of an intelligent
audience. In a word. Salvini is
great; he is supported By q company
With which it is said Booth would not
