LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

evening was attributed Dy tne majority OF
those present to ths extra charge for reserved
seats. Certainly the welcome to the superior
company that appeared rs the Wallack-Bald

toned them, that the charge Is that estab-

and to which the company plays there,
though not under the extra expenses of
transportation and maintenance neeessitated
by the present engagement, and which aggre-

gagement. Small as the audience was last
evening, it was appreciative, and warmly tes-

Careful, studious, earnest, natural, cultured
acting like theirs approaches to the standard
by which the highest work of the stock actor
can be Judged. Miss Ethel Arden is an
actress of strong powers, worthy or more
careful analysis than can now be attempted.
Miss Osborne is graceful and winning, and
reads with good expression. Miss West at
fords good support. Jean Clara Walters, q
sterling stock actress, Is too we'll known to
need introduction. Bradley, the "old man"
of the troupe, is in tha same category,
well known and thoroughly good.
