play was well given and with strong effect,
many in the audience being visibly moved
by the depth and pathcs of the reading by
Mrs. +. NJ. Bates, the leading lady of the
company. Mrs. Bates is an accomplished
and experienced actor, OF fine stage presence
and strong personal attractions. She is equally
good in the emotional drama and in
comedy. She is an actor of the school OF the
legitimate. Her voice is deep, rich and full
of feeling, and her carriage is graceful and
commanding. A. d. Bradley is one of the
best "old men on the stage. E. M. Thayer
is an old faverite here. Annie Adams ia
well known here, and is q painstaking and
pleasing actor, SIS also is Belle Douglas. Ada
Deavss is good in su5rstte parts. Chas.

ceptably. He is not powerful actor, but is
earnest reads clearly and with feeling has
good stage presence, aud easily establishes
pleasant relations with his auditors. Edwin
Brown is new here. He is e practic d
actor, and received notice of that judgment
by the applause he won from the audience
last evening. Louis Belmour, little Maud

ably known here. On the whole it is good
company, and able to furnish rational and
satisfactory entertainments in comedy, melo-
drama, or that of the emotional school, with
satisfaction to an intelligent audience. 1t

so won upon her audience as to become the
recipient jointly with little Maud of cordial
complimentary call before the curtain.
