AMUSEMENT NOTES.

excellent IN their line. Inc operas pre-
scented were 1.-THE Mascotte' and coli
vette" and the patronage demonstrated
that the public was well pleased. Tht
MINISTRIES were largely patronized as usual
and gave abundant satisfaction. The
programme embraced few new features
though the usual features came in theiI
regular. order. A little deviation from the
traditional rules of minstrelsy would
not be unacceptable.
For the coming week the chief attrac-
tons Will be the Kellogg concerts on
Monday andjWednesday evenings. The
company needs no encomiums. The
fame of the members is orld-wide

On the 24th, 18th and Goth, we will
have Chas Forbes dramatic company,
which has been greatly strengthened
since its last appearance here. Ben Cot
ton and his daughter Idalene are the
chief attractions, and will appear in the
drama written for them, entitled 'sTrue
Devotion On Saturday afternoon
BLACK Diamonds will be presented,
and on Saturday evening "Uncle Toms
Cabin will be the attraction. The Mil
waukee Sunday Telegraph thus speaks Of
True Devotion
Ben. Cotton is familiar name in Wisconsin.
Indeed, 1t is familiar throughout the country.
He is an old-tIme favorite, and is no less so
to-day than he was years ago. Mrs. Cotton,
who accompanies the ever popular Ben, is an
artist, never falling TO make a good impress
sion. We can accord very high praise TO Mr..
and Mrs. Cotton, aud take pleasure in doing
so, for their talent warrants it. There is
another member of the company concerning
whom ordinary praise would not answer at
all-would not do justice. We speak of little
Idalene Cotton. Among all of the little folks
on the stage, there are none who can compare
with this charming little girl. There is moth
ing cramped in her acting. She is perfectly
natural and free, has a sweet aud remarkably
intelligent face, bright happy ways and a
voice of wonderful beauty and power. Her
initiative powers are simply astonishing. She
has 10 see and hear an actor or singer but
once or twice to enable her TO initiate him TO
a letter. Her imitation of Aimee, Maggie
Mitchell and Pat Rooney, is simply perfect.
In fact little IdaleLe Cotton is the most charm
ing and promising young actress on the stage
to-day.
For the succeeding week Frank Mayo
will appear in series of tragic roles.
On Monday evening he will assume the
character of Othello; on Tuesday evening
Virginius, on Wednesday afternoon lingo
mar; on Wednesday evening Macbeth; on
Thursday evening Hamlet; on Friday
evening Jack Cade; on Saturday after
noon Ruy Bias, and on Saturday evening
Richard III. Mr. Mayo has achieved
great success in his new departure. The
indianapolis E,Esspeaking of his
rendering of Virginus, says:
Those who were not present last night at
Mr.. Mayo's rendition Of Virginius, at
English's Opera House, missed a literary
feast of no mean proportions. We doubt very
much whether an indianapolis audience ever
witnessed a portrayal of the character so salts
factory and symmetrical throughout. We say
this with the full knowledge that both Edwin
Forrest and Mr.. Mccullough have appeared
here within the last ten years in the character
of Virginius, and with the knowledge, too,
that Mr.. Forests enemies were forced to ac-
knowledge that in Virginius he was majestic
and unsurpassed. The full force of the ex-
writer when he says that Mr.. Mayos rendition
last night was quite equal to that of either
Mr.. McCullough's or Mr.. Forests. It was a
very great and gratifying success.
Following Mr.. Mayo will come the Bos-
ton Ideal Opera Company, one of the
best attractions on the road, on Dec. 5,
and Z, with matinee on the 9TH, and
Leavitt's mammoth minstrels on the 9th
and 10th.

The Athenaum concert by Seibert's Or
chestra will take place this evening, it
being impossible to hold it in the after
noon as heretofore. The programme is
an excellent one in every respect, and the
concert will no doubt be largely patron
