Stevens will return to this city with his most
 successful drama entitled 'Unknown." THE CRIMSON OPERA COMPANY.

 day afternoon in ''The Mascot" and on Sat
 urday evening in Patience" The Provi- dence daily St0r says: 1.-The Mascot was listened to by an overfowing house last evening. Helen E. H. Carter appeared as ''Bettina,' D and her entree upon the stage was greeted with an outburst of enthusiasm. When her sweet voice trilled forth ''the sky lark'' in the second act deadly silence pre- vailed, but as the last soft note died away in the air, an applause ensued which fairly shook the theatre" Seats are on sale at Loomis'.

 operas, and cannot fail to be an enjoyable one. Seats should be secured at Loomis'.
