 NOAHk OA IONlH 0 HA4UuA1n ACuAl la4 Mdsette: Tho house was crowded; many prom s.st se9ple were ID tRe audience. lt soon becllue evident that there were number of persons present who had been organized to make hostile demonstrations Co make the dsbutante success impossible 4 TOW began when Lotta and Mir. Howard. from Nallack's l theatre, New York, essaysd 70 sing l Sweet By and By. Lotfa perseversd | with her part for a time but in the end | was fairly frightened of the stage by | brutal men6nces. The play was con ! tinued until the end in spite Of Occa- | siOnaI disturbances. Lotta was ire | quently recalled and generously | applauded by the lower part of the | house. The general opinion after the | performance was over, Is that LOtts's | style almost unknown to the English | stage, Is artistic and highly amusing; | but that Musstte is not play tuat can ever be acceptable. The prevailing opinion among critics and first nighters is, that the hostile demonstration against Lotta was organized in the interest of certain American actresses who have recently been greeted with a degree favor which has 8stonished some people. John Rogers, husband of Miss Minnie Palmer is credited in some quarters with planIng and directing the claque.
